Hey guys and happy new years. My new years resolution is to clear up the JB map pool!!!!
And I'm going to do it one at a time. Starting with crossroads because lets be real, it's just a dated map, Probably the biggest outlier of the current rotation. The map itself feels aimless, the only major secret, The one where you have to hit all the weapons scattered across the map, unlocks a tp to a doomspire inspired location that serves zero purpose at all. The rebeller options are middling, having 2 non respawning small ammo packs and the armoury entrance half the players never know where the lever to open it is, (it's behind deathrun). Not to mention the fact you can shoot through cells. Which just enabled complete chaos in the forms of the ability to mfk without cells opening. Only good thing about this map is flood escape as it's probably one of the more unique minigames in our map rotation.
However, I often see it being rtv fodder, a map that gets voted in by being first nominated then rtved off of so you can return to hopjb sooner. RTV fodder maps do not need to be in our map rotation as they actively negatively impact the ability to play the good maps that don't get played as much.
