MAP FIXES & ADJUSTMENTS
Changes have been made to the following maps:
TERRA THERMA CLASSIC – CRUCIBLE
A supermassive eruption has occurred on Terra Therma and the landscape has been reshaped by this cataclysmic event. Geological surveys taken in the aftermath have discovered Germanium deposits valued in the billions if they can be harvested safely. Enterprising mining companies are now enlisting the help of mercenaries to help secure the area and set up operations.
Terra Therma (Classic) has been reworked and is now named Terra Therma Crucible. The goal of this rework was to eliminate all the problematic areas of the (Classic) version of this map. The second floor was the core of the map has been eliminated and the bottom floor now serves as the foundation of the map. The center has been opened up to support longer range combat from the circlular rock formation and the surrounding hills. Domination and Conquest Theta capture points are centrally located in the middle of the Crucible. Beware of the consequences of entering the lava pit. There is no protection if you get caught in the open.
