Genosis - By far the worst map, BUT could be Amazing

Is it just me or is Genosis the stupidest map in the game...?
BUT it could be one of the best, the graphics and design are incredible, what wreck it are the 2 second stages, basically impossible to win as the droids, and super boring.
The first stage is great, nothing needs to be done there.
The second stage gives so much advantage to the clones, I’d be surprised if droids have EVER won across all platforms and servers. First, the clones have the high ground to an insane degree, second the droids spawn about 10 miles from where the clones are, and third of course the AT-TE’s are ridiculously overpowered.
For the 3rd stage it mostly just comes down to the AT-TE’s being ridiculously OP.
One thing thay could really change the map is if the spider drones were controllable in some fashion. That alone could maybe change the whole tide of the map, giving actually giving the droids a shot at winning.
Another would be to have some kind of high powered rockets the droids could find to launch at the AT-TE’s to give more objective and give them more fire power to combat the clones.
Dice please fix Geonosis, it could be amazing, but needs several tweaks. As of now it is just lame because the clones can win the 2nd and 3rd stages without even trying.

Kamino the clones usually win, but you can win as the droids, not so with Geonosis, so nope.
No way. I've won and lost on as the droids and clones on all phases of kamino.
After phase one on geonosis, I have yet to win as the droids.
You cannot win Kamino as the droids against a team of equal skill, not even close... you would be hard pressed to make it past phase 1 against a good team of equal skill, and absolutely no way you would get past p3 barracks side or p4.

It’s possible, but not really a needed point and no need to debate. Only thing that matters is that I (and I’m guessing many of you) have won as the droids many many times on kamino, but I (and I’m sure many of you) have never once won as the droids on the 2nd or 3rd phase of Geonosis.
Recommend ^^^ this dude ^^^ for Droid reinforcements
Geonosis should be outrageous .... coming from every direction.... Unleashed Holy Armageddon.... explosions that make you QUIT and crawl back in bed (I want my mommy stuff)
Geonosis is amazing... and empty... definitely not the worst map. The Devs put a ton of beautiful work in that map....
Geo would be a good map for tank / speeder battles (all of them) - but can't get anyone to violate canon in this game??? Now I wait for skinnnnnns and the Titan mode? Waiting for skinnnnns and weapons that blast snipers into the OUTER ...... RIM./// Gorrilla Walkers? Rancor beast? Any Beast? A Motocross Dirt Bike or Greivous Fifth wheel? Night Fire with explosive flares (highlighting the enemy)?
I do for sure agree it is one of the most beautiful maps, just needs a mechanics revamp.
Agreed. Much better than the current funnel the epic scale battle into a room like Naboo, Takodana and Kamino which turns GA into HvV with troopers and reinforcements. Dislike those maps to the point of just auto-quitting when they appear as they turn into a choke point hero filled spam mess. At least Geonosis provides an epic battle throughout the map and not just the first two phases which it is why it is one of the few GA maps I'll play.
BUT have you ever won as the droids in the 2nd or 3rd stage??

Actually it was on Geonosis where I had a good game of GA today. Made it to 3rd phase as droids but the clones managed to get a heavily damaged AT-TE in and defend it. Did not win but it was a good battle right up to the end.
Not saying the map is perfect but for myself the design of Geonosis is better than some of the other GA maps. I might be slightly biased as I main Heavy and target vehicles so when I play as the droids, Geonosis is a good hunting ground. The AAT's could use more cover when spawning in or choose a location where clones can't shoot you before you can move. Suggested adding another AAT or 2 for the droids so there would be 4 AAT's instead of 2 on the feedback thread when the map dropped. I mean the streets of Theed get 2 AAT's which is understandable but an open battlefront like Geonosis should have more than 2 AAT's. (Ulterior motive was I wanted to be able to target and destroy the AAT's as a Heavy clone trooper.) Also suggested upping the health of the AI spider droids if we can't play as them. Maybe add an objective in that if the droids hold the "uplink" long enough they could call in Hyena bomber support.
An open map with multiple powerful and heavily armored rail free mobile targets with infantry, reinforcement and hero support. As you know, Geonosis is a little different than just holding an objective location in a room or destroying a stationary object. For myself Geonosis brings a different and welcomed challenge than what GA has been so far. Thankfully, swinging a glowstick in a closet does not get a victory on this map. Granted it is not easy for the droids and some modifications to even the odds a little better would be welcomed but a good team who understands pto means destroying the AT-TE's have a greater chance of success than those who don't.
Yes, I've won on Geonosis as the droids but it wasn't easy and it doesn't happen often but it can be done.
Robots can win on phase 1 of Geonosis, no Robot team is winning on phase 4 of Kamino if the defenders are at the very least competent.
Geonosis can also be fixed unlike Kamino where they would have to take phase 4 out altogether for it to be better.
If the clones lost on phase 4 of Kamino then they are borderline AFK.
Multiple times
so far twice. actually had a team committed to hitting the AT TE's early as possible and we seemed to have lots of ion weapons
Listen to the majority Empire TW
True but Yakima 4, Death Star 2, Endor, tatoonie, Hoth even more awful especially Hoth.
At least in WA the objectives went back and forth until the y wings came.

Fired up some WA today. Both Endor maps, Sullust, Jundland wastes and twilight Hoth. Had some great matches.
The majority...
Sure like 2 people say it's not as bad, keep believing that if you want I'll choose to not be delusional.
In great detail to explain how those maps are awful, let alone being worse than maps where the defenders will always win if they are at the very least competent.
IMO all god awful anticlimactic wars maps are awful like how you believe all clown maps are awful because of the era.
Really stretching for a joke name aren't you?
I don't think they are awful because of the era they are awful because of the map design.
The map design are all find, it’s the health of the MTTs and ATTs that’s messing the map up. If they change the health a bit then the maps would be enjoyable. TBH the only bad maps in this game is jakku and Hoth but that’s really because of the unbalance. Maybe in March these maps will really shine.
No they are not
The droids can't even get up the steps on Phase 2 of theed, Kashyyyk all the defenders have to do is hide in one turbo tank, and Kamino phase 4 only has 2 entrances that are comically easy to defend.
In what way is Hoth "unbalanced"?
Geonosis isn't exactly a great map but compared to that...
If we could only get more FO teams to actually shoot at the 3 massive targets

Hitting the walkers on Crait is so easy it is a joke, but hardly anyone commits to it. I can't remember the last time the attacking team started phase 2 with 100 tickets when I was defending. Many times I have been top of the leaderboard at that point with less than 5 elims. Imagine if one or two others also played that way, would never get to phase 2.
What were they thinking?
He knew.
Crait is very well balanced imo. Must be in
The top 3 maps overall.
This x1000
I wouldn't say that, ATM6s seem a bit weak (and that bug where they sink into the ground) and the FO is too dependent on needing a good phase 2 or the doors will be too closed to win on phase 3.
