Guild Wars 2

This is of course entirely subjective and just my own opinion.

I think the new map (however loosely implemented) is absolutely brilliant! It is actually the most fun I’ve had in this game since the first beta.

I don’t even bother joining any match with a teamsize greater than 5, as it becomes too much of a zergfest. . . But playing with small teams! Man, that’s just a haven for PvP combat! Though, I do absolutely think that this game mode should be played without the ability to respawn until one team is dead; I think this would add a lot of structure and tension.
The most enjoyable matches that I’ve played had been in a 1v1 or 2v2 dueling format; If the teams where uneven, people would actually just stand aside and let the even duels be played =)

I’ve always loved PvP in MMOs, but I really couldn’t get into the PvP in GW2 which surprised me an awful lot since I love the combat system and the game in general.

I though this was mostly because of the lack of multiple Game Modes – Or more specifically, a game mode that actually focuses a lot on straight-up PvP combat, rather than leaving it a secondary objective besides the primary.

Call it whatever you like; Dislike it or love it, but some are having an absolute blast on the new map. I really, really hope that they add a separate SoloQ and TeamQ for this new game mode but definitely without the respawning and with small team sizes. =)

i have not really played this map much in public servers, but, are there any cases of spawn camping?

I have experienced this, but only on maps with a few more players. And they stop if you just tell them to in map chat.

I haven’t been able to play the map yet apart from in 10v10s and when I get a 1v1 in that type of scenario, I see the potential of the map. I think to test it out a bit better it should be put in the solo queue rotation.

That way, we will really know if people hate it.

Yeah, they should definitely have it as it is for a while to test it properly. And it must be in a separate Solo Queue; If someone doesn’t like the map, they should not be forced to play it. Same goes with the Conquest maps.
