Dual Gap EP Tropical Paradise Resort Edition is a good map

[BrickedKeyboard]

It feels like a well balanced teamplay map.

The problem with Setons is that it's not really a 4v4. It's four separate 1v1s, and if one of your teammates fails to do their job and secure their part of the battle, you're probably going to lose. The bases are so far apart that every player is isolated and the large distances make air dominant.

Dual Gap is sort of like a chokepoint fight, but there's an open land play area where you fight it out in the open for a large amount of mexes, but not so many it's a guaranteed loss if you lose them. It has strategically placed reclaim. The front-most player on each team gets first access to a large pile of rocks right at the front, giving them something to compensate for the dangers of being in the front.

And the Tropical Resort Edition includes a large enough area of water that you can send destroyers and battleships to help out in the middle mex fight, yet the narrow chokepoints into each base mean that battleships are not dominant like they are on almost every other navy map.

All the player's main bases are located close together so you can pool SAM coverage making bombers not be dominant. There's 6 players on each team and 3 main objectives (2 groups of mexes and the water), so there's lots of overlap between players so you actually fight as a team and not as 6 separate 1v1s.

What do you all think? I just found out about the map today. It seems to play really well, and I've noticed that Dual Gap is beginning to take over in terms of games being hosted.

I have to admit I haven't tried it yet, cause I'm very sceptical to anything that has "gap" in the title

Not gonna lie, with a little bit of cleaning up, it can be a great map

Hello! I am biass, the creator of the edit under request of a guy called GurnBiscuit.

I just wanted to say that this post made my day <3 But if you have any suggestions, feel free to drop a pm and i can try to include them.

Just remember that "duel gap" is not my original map, and if you have any ideas to ask KD7BCH

Thanks again

Good job on the edit. Removing that wasted space that was only useful for tac missile cheese at the north and south is an improvement. The bigger body of water so you can add ships is another nice improvement.

I did wonder if maybe the main river should have been widened instead so you can send ships right into the middle of the map. That might have been interesting.

You fuckers have got to be kidding me. FFS

For the people that hadn't heard of it yet, such as me.



I don't really see how it compares to Setons, because that map allows you to wreck bases from the ocean. The navy on dual gap seems to have no purpose other than aiding the fight in the middle or maybe launching missiles over the mountains? But dual gap fits well into the theme of closed off maps like thermo and gap, which are quite popular after all.

Yes this map is the mother of all maps definately and worth a strategic discussion while comparing to seton. They are so similar. Green landscape and a bit of water and so on.

As a blanket statement that doesn't really work. If you cap the rating range for Seton's games that statement covers to a maximum of 1200 then it most certainly works. Part of the jump from mediocre to decent Seton's player is realizing that it simply isn't 4 1v1s and that just winning your match-up isn't always good enough.

Onto the topic of the map: It doesn't seem awful to me and it doesn't seem fantastic. It might be more attractive to me as a 3 player/team map perhaps.
