What'd folks think of the holiday TDM tournament maps? I liked them a lot more than many of the maps they've come out with over the last few rounds. Particularly those artifact maps! 🤮
Anyway, they were simple but seemed pretty balanced. Felt like a return to the old days of MA. I especially liked how despite the tighter spaces, they didn't let Disc Launchers totally dominate. Kinda hoping to they'll be in the regular rotation from now on...

On the second map, I found that HR and JR ruled a bit too much. It was fun with NLs though.

On the second map, I found that HR and JR ruled a bit too much. It was fun with NLs though. I found dropping a DL mech at the start tended to be a good counter. I actually thought the map favored DLs and sniper rigs. Generally against humans, especially ones I knew would launch guided missiles, I'd start with Stalker DL and perch a little before the top of the lip on the center ramp and get them behind the center wall with splash, then hop into a Panther EMR when my Stalker died. But one of the best setups was actually Surge DL. You could stay up on the top part forever, dashing about in & out of stealth. Only problem was the firepower was a bit limited and it could last too long, so I stopped dropping it first.

I enjoyed them all. The new maps were a nice change from the usual and they seemed well designed.
