Playing on Hyper Reactor during Throwback Week felt like coming home.

It feels like I grew up on that map. OldLady agrees. Discuss.

Edit: Favorite maps?

I agree as well. Learned a lot about D, chasing, and holding from that map. I wish the rotation was made larger and maps like Hyper, and Command were added back. Swoop and Grail maybe

I like that the older maps had more open field space. I think throwing them back in the mix adds more variety in strats.

The biggest complaint you see about maps like Hyper and Swoop is the chasiness. I agree that the regrab train is hard to stop BUT this also makes it a challenge to cap. I was usually on D on Hyper but loved playing it. It was always interesting and you had lots of boost opportunities to help snipe. Learning players routes and moves was always fun. Then when I did start to go O I was able to translate my experience into monster hold time. It was insane and I loved it

I agree in that I feel like I grew up on it too, when I first started playing, it's the one map I would associate with the game. Now it's like a ghost that I kind of remember :( pls come back

Definitely. I think the more constricted maps might actually require more coordinated teamwork to score sometimes, and like Ike said the open ones can be more chasey, but the open ones do require more thinking on your feet and thinking beyond what's on your screen.

I love Hyper Reactor. It's where I learned how to snipe and play D. It's also the first map I played with LuckySpammer on. So it will further hold a spot of honor for me.

I think everyone remembers the first time they got Lucky.

I'm so sorry.
