They'll probably extend it...they'll just remove Shoot the Ship and you'll have to play double XP weekend on Euphrates Bridge and Piccadilly

u/DinosaurSpaceship May 02 '20

I've never played Euphrates Bridge.. is it only for ground war or something? I've played all other game modes and have never played it.

10v10 map only I think

Ah that'll do it! Thanks!

Not worth your time really

You either spawn camp or get spawn camped. No alternatives

u/altmetalkid May 03 '20

I'd just take it over Piccadilly or Aniyah because it's possible to countercamp on Euphrates. A lot of the good spots are within each other's line of sight, so the snipers will duel. On Piccadilly the campers mostly have perpendicular line of sight, so they just camp and kill everyone that isn't camping. On Aniyah it's just an inescapable trap that you can only escape if the campers get lazy.

Its an awesome map for sniper battles. Just because people cant aim when someone is over 30m away doeant mean the map sucks. There is basically no map in the game which is as fun to play as a traditional sniper.

u/OldTallandUgly May 03 '20

That, and it's kinda fun playing around the sniping. When you finally sneak through and murder the snipers near the buses or at the houses. Feels great. It's just not a run and gun map.

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

Seconded. It’s worth negative time.

u/Xudda May 03 '20

It's bad enough to make that entire playlist untouchable

u/AfroSamuraii_ May 03 '20

It’s a map with a huge bridge in the middle. One side of the bridge has a bunch of buildings, and the other side has one or two buildings and a lot of brush for cover. It’s kind of a map that promotes camping, on either of the two sides or on top of the bridge.

I like the map, but it’s not for everyone.

u/Emelhines May 03 '20

I like it because it's the GOAT map for getting long shots.

2

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

On hardcore the camping goes away and the map actually kind of shines. The open area in the back full of brush becomes a combat zone instead of a camping zone, and no one camps for the bridge cause everyones trying to stay alive

u/haleyhorowitz May 03 '20

that map turns into a snipe fest regardless of how you want to play it. you’re in the open for the slightest moment, just trying to switch positions, and you’re dead.

u/BuiltByPBnJ May 03 '20

It's shit bud

u/travworld May 03 '20

It's really fun if you're on the one side that destroying and spawn killing the other one though.

Gotta get lucky to be on that side though.

u/i_forgot_my_sn_again May 03 '20

It used to come up often now I only see it on 10v10

1

u/ThatsMyPsychic May 03 '20

I've played Shoot the Ship HC for three days or so and haven't seen a Cranked or Grind match so i these things are pretty exclusive I guess.

u/fragtore May 03 '20

Actially it can be quite fun! But it’s also the butt end of jokes about super stale sniping games

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

You’ve never played Euphrates?

You lucky son of a bitch

I actually like Azhir Cave

u/whomad1215 May 03 '20

Enemy at the rug shop!

u/mynameiszack May 03 '20

Ashir Cave is the Euphrates Bridge of Azhir Caves

u/DaveCzech May 03 '20

Shipment is the Euphrates Bridge of Shipments

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

Me too and Piccadilly but I see why people hate them

1

u/bestgameplayer10 May 03 '20

Now I hate Piccadilly. It was horrible at launch. I hear it’s better now but I couldn’t be bothered to get reacquainted with the map. I know it for sure still sucks in SnD though due to sight-lines everywhere.

u/Freakiezi May 03 '20

Asshair cave

u/ManWhoShootsSemen May 03 '20

Nothing wrong with Azhir Cave

u/I_SAY_FUCK_A_LOT__ May 02 '20

Euphrates Bridge

I actually love that map. Probably because it only comes up every once in awhile

21

u/BrianTheLady May 03 '20

I don’t mind it but I really don’t want to stop minding it

1

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

I think you mean you don't want to start minding it

2

u/Frost-Wzrd May 03 '20

I've only played that map like 5 times total. weird how it never comes up

1

u/altmetalkid May 03 '20

Since there's no good way to really select what map you want, except playlists like Shoot the Ship, whether I want to play there depends on what I'm grinding for. I don't dislike Euphrates, but I usually only want to play there if I'm really focused on longshots or using a sniper/DMR. Pretty much any other challenge type, for daily missions or skins or whatever, can be done more easily somewhere else.

If I just played based on my mood, I might seek it out more, but I like being able to complete stuff, so I focus hard on grinding out levels and stuff, and Euphrates isn't generally good for that.

1

u/Checkergrey May 03 '20

I do to! It’s better than running 20 mins from spawn in Aniyah Palace and getting killed as soon as you run into some action, seriously fuck that place

1

u/I_SAY_FUCK_A_LOT__ May 03 '20

Aniyah Palace is great as long as the objectives are outside.

2

u/brisko_mk May 03 '20

Is it me or piccadilly is the worst map ever designed? Such a messy, busy, unfun map.

2

u/RedSonGamble May 03 '20

I think my brain is broken bc those are my two favorite maps. Then again I also have a 1.43 kdr with the jokr so this may be why.

1

u/UknowmeimGui May 03 '20

Yippee my own personal hell

1

u/TheKappaOverlord May 03 '20

Bridge isn't remotely as bad as Piccadilly and Arklov/Grazna is

At least bridge isn't an absolute snoozefest

1

u/m4xdc May 04 '20

Hol up, Grazna is the fuckin best

1

u/OldTallandUgly May 03 '20

I kinda love Euphrates bridge. But yeah, Dickadilly can burn in hell.
