Day 8: Power Shift Vegas when?

[twin shard]

hear me out. a map thats all indoors. like the cod dmz map that you needed the keycard for

[ember mauve]

Sys horizons so nice

[errant ember]

Hard disagree. If they played fully into the whole video game theme it would be more fun imo, open up the map a lot more and make more use of the parkour

[mellow iron]

whats the consensus on las vegas, does anyone even like it?

[ember mauve]

Havent seen it in a while

[red valley]

Bring back Trips & Wires variant

[mellow iron]

same i havnt gotten it in a few days, did they sneaky take it out?

[lost magnet]

I like it now that Kyoto exists. Used to hate it but now I have a map to hate even more

[long spear]

good map think they could rework some areas.

[rare wing]

Not my favourite but sometimes i crave something a little different
For those times its perfect

Also has some unique and interestimg scenarios

I like the vibe and i love the stage music that plays when walking by
(They really should make more build in music for maps)

[mellow iron]

i agree it would be nice to see maps with their own music themes

[sharp knot]

vegas

[mellow iron]

?

[north tapir]

i hate playing it continuously (especially sandstorm) but i kinda miss it after a while of not playing it idk

[burnt lake]

Everyone has always hated los Vegas. If we had a win lose tracker for every map we play I’d probably have a pretty low win rate

[glad sparrow]

But day 9: Power Shift Vegas when?

[tiny warren]

DO STOCKHOLM

[errant cradle]

It’s my favorite after Vegas

[errant cradle]

Same 😄

[mild spear]

real talk can we get more half-time events plz and dnt hold back give us the works

[keen minnow]

A Brazilian favela would be great!

[fresh whale]

1 billion procent chance that the next season will be nordic and set in the viking age trust

[runic tapir]

kyoto is just the worst map ive ever played. Its so visually interesting, but i cannot stand it.

[raven dock]

I like destroying the center area

But how about another skyscraper map like maybe Downtown LA city? That’d be cool

[fallow widget]

Yes! Battle axe skin for hammer & Long Mace skin for spear!

[fallow widget]

My favorite map

[spice stratus]

we really need a old western map 🤔

[errant cradle]

Same, it feels like the map tries to hinder every play I make. Got to agree with the visuals though

[winged oyster]

Is the update going to be in few hours?

[gloomy turtle]

I think a winter variant of Kyoto, with snow (that leaves footprints) and frozen rivers, would look really cool

Also if we're able to pick points from history, a mediaeval British castle would be dope. New cosmetics with knights and armour, claymores, rapiers, longbow, etc.

[opal parcel]

Just here to spread syshorizon love, the goated map fr

[opal prawn]

Welcome to Kyoto for our opening round. Let's hope contestants brought their Volpe Handwarmers for this frigid match.

[shrewd bison]

Kyoto is goated tbh

Seoul is shut tho

I mean shit

[opal prawn]

Welcome to Valentine, let's see if the contestants can bring home a big heist of cash.

[fluid peak]

Looks like game info isn’t updated for world tour.

[untold basalt]

Pls clown skin

[glad sparrow]

Day 10: Power Shift Vegas when?

[errant cradle]

I love Horizon—one of the only maps where I actually do consistently well

[rocky scaffold]

Truth be told 🙌

[void fossil]

NO WAY.

[tranquil trail]

i want a mode more focused on cashbox transportation. i feel like it's an underfocused part of the game

you gotta be waaaaaaaaaaaay more specific if you want so much as a "good idea."

i'm not asking for an entire essay just one or two sentences. just saying "add vehicles" says nothing. even still, saying to add them in a new game mode isn't the most clear on what you what

[gentle portal]

goo plane

[twin shard]

been suggesting rome since forever, would be insanely cool

[spark sage]

adding to the medieval england skins, a sword and shield for the riot shield would be cool

[gentle portal]

isnt the default sword for light a rapier already

[spark sage]

its close but not quite as it doesnt have the longnpoint

[gentle portal]

oh ok

also, if we get a sword and sheild skin for riot shield, please also let riot shield block melees. dual blades already reduces the damage, why cant riot shield get some love

[spark sage]

fr its so useful on power shift

[pseudo gull]

Hey what if there was a button to save a set you made as an outfit

I think that would be cool

[spark sage]

i agree

and also an option to set an outfit to all loadouts

[pseudo gull]

Yeah that would be fun but it wouldn’t be as useful as an outfit button

I feel like that’s more useful imo

[spark sage]

yeah

[gentle portal]

theres a game on roblox called deadline and it has a system where you can import gun attachments using a text code

its really nice for importing attachment loadouts to friends and other profiles

could be used for outfits in this game

[spark sage]

additionally, as a map i think victorian london could be cool

there could be a cashout point on a train or something

[gentle portal]

no way we started talking about maps in #🌍┇maps again!

[drowsy garden]

👀

[spark sage]

old western style map maybe with cowboy themed cosmetics and maybe a train heist game mode or something along those lines

for rome we could get a gladius dagger skin

[proud zephyr]

is it just me or is the performance of the game getting worse. Not just on the new map but others as well.

[spark sage]

how so?

[proud zephyr]

just laggy

[spark sage]

i havent particularly noticed a difference

[opal prawn]

Welcome to London, we take a trip back to when the sun never set on this empire for this match. Contestants better prove their skills are bigger than the famous clocktower.

[spark sage]

i think it could be cool

[warm scroll]

has kyoto been better optimized since season release?

[spark sage]

for another map perhaps a cave system of some sort could be cool

[opal prawn]

Welcome to an old mineshaft thanks to Volpe's exploration team. Contestants will navigate the tight corridors and blow through the mountain to secure cashouts

[spark sage]

damn how are you so good at that

[opal prawn]

Autism

And I'm not kidding

It's my autism and massive addictions to things that I've learned to perfectly copy the mannerisms and way people and characters speak

Down to the way they walk (I had a 3 week period where I walked like Dutch van Der linde)

https://tenor.com/view/get-down-here-dutch-rdr2-rdr-mertdoğan-gif-17542276621487121117

[fringe loom]

whole heartingly agree

[tawny shuttle]

can there be a custom map (not based on a real area) that is meant to be just for balance? For example, some maps are covered in sniper sight-lines ||I'm looking at you Seoul and Skyway Stadium|| while others are pretty close quarters ||Monaco and Vegas||.

[coarse prawn]

OOOOH! Looks like the Van der Linde gang are gonna need to come up with a plan if they want that cashout!

[light lintel]

My new map idea is

Spaceship :3

half-time will reverse gravity, up is now down

[spark sage]

Or like a space station

[native steppe]

am i the onyl one who can stand the sys horizon?

[slim igloo]

you mean can't stand(?)

[spark sage]

its a cool concept for a map and all but i dont have that much fun playing on it

[fervent lagoon]

@rotund lagoon

[lucid pagoda]

smaller map pls

[opal prawn]

Welcome to the Holtow Starliner, contestants must reach for the stars if they wish to get a victory 8j this match.

[scarlet hare]

at skyway stadium, theres a building that use to have a cash on the top, it has an elevator on a side, a teammate got crushed with the box on his hands and he went underneath the world for the whole round, it was the final round.

[stray ruin]

A good one

[white nest]

Yes, the lag from destruction is gone on my end

[glad sparrow]

Day 11: Power Shift Vegas when?

Hope you didn’t forget about the “series of improvements we’re planning to make to each of our game modes over the course of Season 3, including our Cashout and Power Shift modes”

[hearty meteor]

Scotty's gigantic mansion he bought with all his winnings as a contestant.

Or

June's studio apartment.

"And now for some quick cash in... oh no, June, it looks like I've been doxxed by CNS."

[hollow belfry]

I would love to see paris in s4 tbh, Paris architecture is great. I wonder how many maps are already in production state 😄

[spark sage]

we would need a baguette sword skin

[mellow magnet]

Add the beaches of Normandy

[spark sage]

add water

[worthy ridge]

Already in Kyoto?

[spark sage]

as in water level

completely underwater

[worthy ridge]

They would have to add swimming

That would cause a lot of glitches however it could be fun

[spark sage]

maybe

or a yacht map with different floors

[worthy ridge]

That would be fun

[spark sage]

or if thats too small multiple yachts all connected with small bridges

[worthy ridge]

That would be probably better since if it was only one then it grapple on light would kinda be useless

[spark sage]

yed

[worthy ridge]

Also the destruction would be hard to make

[spark sage]

sink the yachts

[worthy ridge]

Would the bottom floor be invincible? Or would you just fall into the void and die

[worthy ridge]

That would be fun

[spark sage]

if all the yachts are destroyed it would leave debris around the arena that you can jump around on

[worthy ridge]

That would make sense

Would it be like skyway stadium were if you fall into the water you die of or would you just float and be slow

[spark sage]

maybe they could add some sort of swimming mechanic where you float in the water for a few seconds then die

[spark sage]

this could be where a mechanic to winch teamates could come in incase of rescue

i feel it may be abused by trolls though and make the game unfair

[worthy ridge]

Like a stamina thing were if you run out you drown

[spark sage]

yh

maybe heavys would drown quicker than lights and mediums, lights drowning the slowest

[worthy ridge]

That’s what I thought

Or have it be based on how long you were sprinting before and on what class

The stamina bar wouldn’t affect sprinting however if you enter the water without stamina you can’t move in the water or you drown

[worthy ridge]

However if they add swimming that would be a very large change to movement

[spark sage]

yeah ig so

[waxen shuttle]

A space station map with certain low grav areas would be cool

[spark sage]

yh somebody mentioned that before

i feel as though people would dislike it as ive seen a lot of hate against the low gravity event

[paper gazelle]

did we have any hint on the next map?

or weapons? What would you guys want to see in the game in s4

[dark pendant]

What about a volcano map with lava that kills you and geysers of it with tons of bridges and moving rocks in the lava

[waxen shuttle]

Hawaii would be cool

[dark pendant]

Yeah and a volcano section

[paper gazelle]

but it has to fit with the theme of the season tho

Why do I think Coliseum

[dark pendant]

That could be cool and it could have a set of sword and shield instead of riot shield and Roman armor

[gentle portal]

and the shield blocked melees

[dark pendant]

For Hawaii it could have a beach theme and have water gun v9s

[gentle portal]

ffs, embark needs to make riot shield actually useable

[dark pendant]

Yeah

[gentle portal]

mediums dont have anything to help close the gap

[dark pendant]

Yeah

[gentle portal]

and you can still get shot even with diagonal running at someone

[dark pendant]

Ooh beach theme imagine a frag grenade skin that is a water balloon

[gentle portal]

should be pyro skin

[dark pendant]

What would the fire look like

[gentle portal]

idk

but its impact and splash, just like a water balloon

maybe a ton of bubbles

[dark pendant]

The frag explosion can be a splash

Maybe both frag and pyro like pyro could be a red water balloon and frag could be blue or something

[worthy ridge]

Prolly like fire

Just a guess tho

[honest dock]

Hollow purple

[gentle portal]

throughout terminal attack and world tour, i alone am the balanced one

[honest dock]

Bronze one*

[gentle portal]

im bronze 4 😭

[honest dock]

Quote of the day

practice like you never won. Perfom like you never loose.

[waxen shuttle]

Season variations for maps would be cool. Kyoto in the spring with cherry blossom trees, Monaco in the winter, etc.

[dark pendant]

Me after being gold 4

[tranquil trail]

here's an idea for a mode: 4 teams of 3 everyone spawns in the center around some like, bigger, fancier cashout station. a signal blares, and everyone gets moving. For the first 30 seconds, combat is disabled. Everyone's goal is to find a cash box and bring it back to the center cashout station. However, this cash box will be disguised as an ordinary prop. The only way to tell it's the cash box is that it's indestructible. If someone finds it in the first 30 seconds, the combat-free phase ends immediately.

that's essentially it. i have some other ideas on what could happen. Maybe the cash box gives a huge monetary prize, but you also get deducted cash for property damage, requiring you to be very methodical and deliberate in your search. idk

[fringe loom]

so a prop hunt without any players transforming into a prop, that might be fun, I can also see it being like bank it

[spark sage]

wait thats such a good idea

[lucid pagoda]

i want a map full of mounten but then i rememeber sniper exist

[earnest goblet]

SYS$Escher as the next hacked map?

[wide grove]

that is cursed

[exotic sail]

i like war

[lucid pagoda]

that need a whole engine update for dynamic gravity bro lmao

but a man can dream 🤝

[wise pumice]

that’s cool but the verticality could be a problem for game design, considering how hard it is to get players to look up

[lucid pagoda]

imagine sniper in that kind of map lmao

wonder how arging projectile would work with dymanic grav

[regal beacon]

@left roost plz add an atlanta themed map

or nyc

[crude latch]

times square map when

[plush jackal]

Can you guys do my house!

I live at ******************************** in *************** on *****************

[copper chasm]

Tokyo is a very nice addition, thanks dev !

[hoary rose]

Rome map

[misty violet]

Rome map would actually be great

[white nest]

I love sys one of the only maps where medium is fun

Love the openness

[lucid pagoda]

too many big map in a close range focus game

[earnest goblet]

I would love a cqc map

[lucid pagoda]

cqc?

whats that?

[earnest goblet]

Close quarter combat

Interiors

Like Kowloon Walled City 1989

[deft flint]

That would be big buldings 😂 . Or you play just on the top layers like you do in Seoul.

[earnest goblet]

You wouldn't want a massive seamless web of buildings? That sounds like fun to me

[lucid pagoda]

roof top gameplay will be so interesting bro

[deft flint]

Could defently be interessting.

[rain thicket]

that would be awesome

[regal umbra]

cqb map would be so fun

[hollow creek]

would be a shotgun and sledgehammer hell tho

and flamethrower

[regal umbra]

def

[regal beacon]

Yo look up Orvieto online, that would be a fire map

It’s in Italy

[waxen shuttle]

I think a really isolated map like Fort Knox or Alcatraz would be cool. Shelves of gold bars falling all over the place, terminal in a vault, underground tunnels that if collapsed turn the cortyard into trenches.

[dark pendant]

That would be epic

[glad sparrow]

Day 12: Power Shift Vegas when?

[arctic peak]

Weird question, does anyone have any the finals wallpaper?

[fringe loom]

SYS$HORIZON
According to my head cannon, it should be called SYNTHETIC HORIZON
First shown in depth and in full display in season 2, Horizon is the vaporwave arena we all know and love for its crazy aesthetics, depicting a world devoid of people, the makers of the Arena CNS screaming through their billboards of the map “love from CNS with love” and “discover”.

I know that the min-doc. Spear interviewing the Devs is a thing but I would like to put in my thoughts on the map because it screams to me something different, as if the lore of the world of the finals is screaming out to us as contestants and viewers to “discover” the world. However, for more context, I suggest watching his video but I digress.

SYNTHETIC HORIZON as I’m going to now refer to the map as such meaning will be split into 2 parts with the 2 words of the title.

SYNTHETIC
As we all know, Synthetic Horizon’s map is made out of the non-real world building blocks of the digital scene, retro colors and themes behold the map showing its in-authenticity as a pride. As a hacker group consisting of the Central Nervous System, It wishes to alert us of memories, of nostalgia, to deliver its messages. The arena has buildings reminiscent of places where we can have fun learning. Firstly, The WorkSpace is an office building, however, I however think of it as a computer lab, as the Workspace can be interpreted as a place where you can store your happiest moments in the work you do, be it making levels or making documents of ideas. And for those reasons, Teaching children can be as easy as making educational games to teach the youngsters about the world. However, it’s all vanishing due to the meatspace taking over the industry, thus not needing a space to interact with tech. The Computer Labs became the Workspace. It lost its true meaning, replaced by a growing public consensus that it was a worse place than it originally was. It's synthetic.

The Library is a place where all knowledge comes to be stored, where all knowledge is laid to rest to burrow in the minds of younger children as they are the next ones to carry the torch. In the library they used to have activities to learn from, cooking, to reading. Learn the oldest most competitive games like chess to read up on the latest magazines. The library is the simplest of these buildings to describe, however it is the most disheartening of it all. All the books from the bookshelves are gone, missing even, maybe even burnt. The library, to be more alive, created the platforms in their big square of books to attract more attention, but the people don’t go there anymore, off for the next adventure in the digital world, thus there was no need for physical libraries, it lost all meaning to even exist physically. It’s synthetic.

The Art gallery and the Museum are alike in both aspects and thus are connected in the SYNTHETIC HORIZON Arena. The buildings themselves are alike in what they do, they immerse the people in art and the artifacts of what came before, and thus like in the maps, they feature artwork and bones of beasts that came before. They used to, and maybe they are still around, evolved and changed but still there, but was there any reason to go there Physically once the Meatspace was created. Heck naw, the stuff was 3D rendered into the world, and thus became a fake copy of the original. Maybe the originals are laid to waste, stored in and wastefully packaged never to see the light of the real sun ever. Only their digital descendants can hold their now dying flames. But can candles hold up to a single torch, you tell me, they will die out and lose meaning eventually, they will become synthetic, but we can only speculate and hope.

And finally the new hope, the Campus. Where new discoveries are tested and designed for all to see, to start a rebirth of new life in the fields of IRL. now losing all meaning as another building to destroy in THE FINALS. But in all honesty that is the short story of how this place shouts out his silent protest. The campus may have lost its billboards and the lessons paved in the campus, however the other half it’s supposed to represent is still there, hollowed out of purpose but still there, if in a very destructive way as the game goes. The courtyard of the campus inspires the best and brightest to think outside of the world, to think bigger outside of the known world. Or if taken into game show logic, play smarter not harder. It can be Made Synthetic and the building may think you into doing so, but as CNS says “Discover”, there is more to see into this synthetic building as one may suspect.

This covers the SYNTHETIC part of the map, but it’s time to look towards the Map’s message of the future, the HORIZON.

HORIZON
The Central Nervous System Hacker group CNS are the main creators of this map, and as their name implies, (and by the way this is somewhat confirmed by the devs 👀 emoji) is the part of the body telling us that what we are feeling is wrong. It is fake, this world is fake, what we are learning is fake. The Meatspace is built on lies. That kind of stuff fills the arena’s halls and in silent protest. However, even I must admit that Hacking the Finals Game Show is not a silent protest, but what else are they going to do, they may as well sweep in under the nose for their ideas, so to generate hype and give a warning they hack the big broadcasts for their surprise reveal and decorate it with things Contestants like or remember fondly that the Finals originally did not have. Kind of like what was in the S2 Battle Pass.

Anyways, HORIZON talks about potential futures sourced from nostalgia, a new beginning
Offered by CNS from any point of time “with Love” it’s still us CNS are like us we are stuck in a virtual world. So go outside, and realize. The future, the horizon is at your fingertips, beyond the glasses to the meetspace, and maybe, you’ll even meet them. This can be symbolized when at night, strips of light can be seen on the mirrored surfaces. The beams uniting in a big stream one by one. On one hand it can be propaganda, the promise of being united for a true purpose. But if the messages CNS promotes are to be believed, why wouldn’t we when Ozpose has a website like its own, their love to their “brothers and sisters” is shown in this map like a sort of messiah group complex.

IF I can get CNS next Hacker move, I.E. wish to do their stunt again, they either would have to attract others into what the real world could be like for hope, or have a map that attracts others more to their enemies, the deep state?

I think SYS$ refers to system

Wallpaper engine, there's a cool one with an hml on a moving platform while "you wouldn't be here (without us)" plays and a thank you message from embark goes across the screen. It's honestly one of my favorites aside from the malevolent shrine and a gyro one I have

Day 13: Power Shift Vegas when?

[earnest patio]

hey im not sure how to contact embark but I have an interesting concept for a new exciting map/pass I think they would enjoy collaborating on! If anyone has directions on where I should look or who to talk to let me know

[tawny garden]

1920's Chicago set with a grainy filter or B&W filter to match detective and mafia skins in the season pass the weather can be rainy nightime or a foggy morning

[stiff bear]

⬆️

[fresh roost]

Tell a CM, they’re sometimes on and maybe they can give u some leeway

[heavy sable]

Add Vatican City

[spark sage]

Add the pope

Bible throwing knife skin

[covert cosmos]

best map, recommended

[fiery arch]

Can we add a miniature map (oversized)? Where the map represents somewhere already considered small, like the room of a house but it is scaled up so large that players feel like they are miniture in comparison

[spark sage]

Like Toy Story?

[deep edge]

That would unironically go hard asf

[spark sage]

Lmao

Crucifix dagger

[balmy crater]

ribbit ribbit

[normal rose]

[opal prawn]

I'm just gonna be straight forward, you will need to do a lot of studying on THE FINALS map design. I also do not suggest going directly to Embark. You can attempt to contact them, but I highly suggest you first get some sort of creative agency to help with thay

My best suggestion is to try to get a job at Embark and worm your way into the creative team

[opal prawn]

Welcome to Vatican City where our contestants must grab the holy grail of all cash outs. Oh and I almost forgot to mention we have one cash out on Iseult's newest model for the Popemobile

[spark sage]

Pope! To the popemobile! Banannanaaaa

[glad sparrow]

Day 14: Power Shift Vegas when?

Should I get a paycheck for this?

[tawdry summit]

Power shift on Vegas would go hard

[normal rose]

skyway stadium still best map

[white nest]

*Kyoto

[copper chasm]

Kyoto is a very good map, glad there's Power shift on it already 🙌

[heavy sable]

Nah Las Vegas is goated

They should add vatican city. That would go hard asf

[white nest]

Sys$Horizon is the best 👌

[normal rose]

[normal rose]

[spark sage]

I need my Bible throwing knives

[normal rose]

😵‍💫

throwing kniefes 😐

[spark sage]

I know throwing knives are bad, I hate them so much but the concept of throwing bibles at people is very comical to me

[subtle magnet]

Idk if they would add a Vatican map because it would be too catholic, so they probably will avoid this because they arent very catholic probably and also they whould think that it whould be unfair for other religions, and i like the idea fr, but i dont think they whould do that map

[spark sage]

No bible tks 😔

[summer crane]

They have a cathedral in Monaco and temples in Kyoto

but if they do Italy I hope it's Venice

[quick hollow]

Perhaps a bit of Harlem

Maybe even a specific street

[tawny garden]

If that's the case just add Mecca and Jerusalem and instead of just bible throwing knives add a Quran and a Torah

But nah I want 1920's noire themed Chicago with old cars lining the tightly urban neighborhood of crime, an Italian deli with some easter eggs inside, an Italian restaurant with more easter eggs, the weather nightime and rainy with a noire themed grainy filter or very early morning with a fog and the grainy filter

Maybe some police cars outside a shoe shop that is being currently excavated by the mobsters to take their illicit booze to another hideout

An old fasion burlesque dancing brothel, an old theater, a church, and a police department on the map

Each with easter eggs like the green mile or alcatraz in the jail, some famous burlesque clothing apparel like large feather boas and fur coats strewn around the dressing room, and in the old theater a nod to Abe Lincoln in one of the balcony booths idk...

Make it cool

[brittle raft]

Interesting let’s include the Quran aswell in that case

[tawny garden]

I already said that lol Quran, Torah, and Bible

[brittle raft]

I didn’t wanna read that yap respectfully but it’s only fair they add that too right

[tawny garden]

Yap? The rest was a map idea

[brittle raft]

I saw the wall of text and scrolled past

[tawny garden]

Lmao read it because you are missing out on an Idea that is solid AF

Mafia Era Chicago 😎

[oak pumice]

Hello

Finals is the best game ever

I second that I wanted the same thing but like a noir detective NY either one works

[tawny garden]

Hell yeah! NYC is solid

[fallow widget]

Arecibo telescope

Fight inside the support buildings underneath. Bowl of destruction in the dish.

[tawny garden]

What about an enlarged version of the ISS? Zero G battles???

Or a Moon map that has low gravity constantly Moon Base 5 or something and make it a multi area moon map with a garden, solar field, housing, and such and make it have a switch to turn low grav on or off that can be toggled by players

[brittle raft]

Having the worst modifier in the game 24/7 I think id rather uninstall if they did that

[tawny garden]

I think it's pretty fun better than mega damage or orbital laser...

[livid oak]

As a sledgehammer enjoyer, I disagree on mega damage being worse than low gravity

[tawny garden]

This is why I hate mega damage you probably run winch too...

[livid oak]

Before I max it out, yes.

[tawny garden]

Yeah... no thanks lmao

[livid oak]

Pesky lights holed up in the church? It's time to bring my trusty hammer

[tawny garden]

True but for lights I tend to just flame them out lol

[livid oak]

That's what I'm talking about, flammenferwer all the way

[tawny garden]

It's like watching roaches scatter when you turn on a light lol

[livid oak]

Especially when they try to use their invisibility but they can't cause they're on fire

[tawny garden]

Unpopular opinion a night map with a nvg filter lmao

[austere steppe]

a aquarium map

and pls do a Halloween themed one this fall

[tawny garden]

How about a map that is an underground mine set in the old west with hazards like cave ins that close areas off that need a heavy to burst through, or stalagmites that can impale opponents?

[tawny garden]

I still thing a low grav map would be fun especially for the meme https://youtu.be/g1Sq1Nr58hM?si=xOOz78vP69Ik7YWn

I think it’s a good sign when everyone has different opinions on what is an S tier map. Some hate Vegas, others think it’s the best. Props to Embark

[waxen shuttle]

I know we just got Kyoto, but Hashima Island would be such a good map for The Finals.

[karmic minnow]

Not the water

[waxen shuttle]

Well the surrounding walls would be the virtual border of the map, just thought the dense grass, mix of verticality and decaying concrete would be a different mix

[karmic minnow]

That would be tuff

[spark sage]

What if they made a map somewhere up in the clouds with floating islands

Like heaven, omg guys bible throwing knives might have a chance

Quran and Torah throwing knives included OR throwing stars shaped into the Star of David and a dagger into a Crescent Moon and a spear that looks like a bishops cross pole

Actually dope idea

But you got to add rosary bead vanish bomb

[lost magnet]

Sys horizon is #1 map for terminal attack

[left python]

sys horizon is easily the worst feeling terminal attack map besides kyoto but thats also a really low bar

I love having to take permanent chip damage because the slightlines are fucking massive

[tawny garden]

Sandstorm vegas is hella cool change my mind!

[nocturne apex]

I agree! the change of environment and the thinking you have to do really amps it up

[finite temple]

I feel like new york or paris would be such a good map

like imagine blowing up the eiffel tower, or just jumping between tall buildings

[normal rose]

new york would be sick

[spring olive]

We want a Geneva or Milano maaaap

Or maybe a Casablanca one

[tawdry tundra]

Remove kyoto

[bronze grotto]

Remove kyoto immediately

Add stockholm map pls (that would be epic gamer moment)

[spark sage]

I like Kyoto as it is much bigger which involves different play styles but I think we need a feature to disable certain maps you play on when matchmaking

[storm ibex]

Does anyone have a spawn point map?

[subtle magnet]

Moscow map pls, and add russian language too

[ebon jasper]

I agree but then again, some people see it as an og thing

[static matrix]

Emerald rank ? Open this update

[lucid pagoda]

map with tram 🚡

[dull wadi]

Imagine a London maps 🙏

[twin pike]

I would say Beale street from Memphis Tennessee would be a great map Beale Street, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is famous for its rich musical history and vibrant nightlife. It's known as the "Home of the Blues" and has been a significant cultural hub for music lovers for decades. Hosting the finals there would not only provide a lively and energetic backdrop but also immerse participants and spectators in a culturally rich environment. The street is lined with clubs, restaurants, and shops, making it a perfect spot for both entertainment and relaxation between events. Plus, the historical significance of Beale Street could add a unique and memorable touch to the finals.

^I juss thought about it sounds too much like Las Vegas but my brain lagged hope y’all like the idea tho

[lucid ore]

LOve the maps

On defense it's really fun to set up angles with thermal bore and such. Same for vegas

That wouldn’t get controversial in the slightest

[earnest goblet]

Tom Clancy's Division 2 went there

[tawny garden]

And BO1 zombies

[earnest goblet]

I would love a zombie mode for this game

Low poly zombie horde forever

[tawny garden]

We need more modes and maps in general

[plucky viper]

my map idea is a bit weird but i think it would fid in the game and its not to hard to build a map like this because you could use objects from other maps my idea is an industrial district with Hight changes from big industrial machinery i think its also nice to play around cashboxes I would also like a large warehouse, ideally around 3 floors in size, a smelter with large boilers, perhaps also with indestructible walls because they are made out of heavy metal i coud bring more ideas but i would like that more than 1 person brings the ideas and embark has an bigger team not only one person the community could also add things

[tawny garden]

What about a water park map or a map set in a country with an active Volcano that erupted and now deadly lava litters certain areas

[plucky viper]

i like the volcano idea

[tawny garden]

Another idea is the streets of Dubai during a flood or sandstorm

To give off spec ops the line vibes and fight in and out of once lavish hotels now laying barren and desolate

And for your industrial idea a nuclear power plant with minor radiation leaks here and there that drain health if you stand too close to them for too long

Chernobyl!!!

[plucky viper]

the problem with nuclear power plants is that they a to big with the cooler the chernobyl idea is good

way i go on google earth and look how big the buildings a

its more than big enough so yea

ik thats the problem its to big and not interesting

how big is the biggest map we have in the finals

yea like chernobyl with spreading radiation

yea

[hoary rose]

Welcome to a very unusual arena for today's match, and no, contestants will not be presented with effects from virtual radiation.

Kyoto in surface area, Skyway in overall size

Btw the difference between surface area and overall size is that surface area includes everything you can walk on

[plucky viper]

do you know how big the maps a

[opal prawn]

From smallest to largest in surface area its

• Vegas
• Sys Horizon
• Seoul
• Monaco
• Skyway
• Kyoto

[plucky viper]

and how big a they

best is surface area

[sick mirage]

What's going on with the seasonal changes for Kyoto?

They were teased during the S3 trailer, but I haven't seen any Cherry Blossoms yet.

[left python]

Suspend structures often have both cashouts on them. Moving platforms can only have one at a time

[left python]

Plays like shit half the time

It's my favourite looking map by far

[left python]

Even on defence, rotating between points feels horrible unless you have a zipline

[abstract ether]

In that regard, I feel like the funnest maps to move are the ones where the jump pad brings value. The greater the value the map gives to the jp, the better it feels to move. As such, "flat" maps like sys and vegas kinda fall apart

[left python]

That's what makes skyway and Monaco my goats

[abstract ether]

Yep. It's weird because in the end it comes down to inclines, and closed spaces being small.

Kyoto? Small enclosed spaces, lots of inclines.
Monaco? The same
Seoul? The same
Skyway stadium? Pretty much.

[rustic arrow]

i’m the complete opposite
i love vegas and sys and hate skyway and monaco

[abstract ether]

Sys horizon? No buildings have inclines in areas that matter, reducing the jump pad's usefulness.
Vegas? Unless sandstorm, only the ladders behind the buildings, the pads on the streets and the truss's provide proper jp inclination

[rustic arrow]

i don’t personally run jump pads since my teammate usually runs them, but i always get way more use out of them on those two maps
i only really like jump pads for vertical movement though

[abstract ether]

Bruh vertical only?
That's half the jump pad wasted

[rustic arrow]

i prefer ziplines for horizontal

[abstract ether]

A good jp will cover more distance with bhop than a zipline

[rustic arrow]

i just don’t like the feel of it

[muted merlin]

Jersey Mikes

[violet swan]

wouldn’t it be neat if there was an indoors map

maybe like a mall

it would have to be a really large mall though lmao

[willow oasis]

i think they should make maps more dangerous like steal the spotlight las vagas where turrets made it more challenging i think they should bring it back and add more i have ideas for sys$horizon let make it that your and the enemy items change for 10 seconds to any random item in zone or make that the map glitches and structures change or make that an event makes mines and turrets become Randoms and i still have idea for Kyoto add ninja traps that throw blades and deal around 75-40 damage you can not break them so watch out. i have more ideas for Seoul make that the malls shutdown their shops door if any thing got broke and for Manco it is big enough for firebikes and let us change how canons point and finally skyway stadium randomize the stadiums with every piece of every map we have got (make sys$horizon appear like it was not suppose to be part in the skyway stadium ) that it i hope you like my ideas i do not really care for those ideas. the game is still very fun i enjoy it everyday

It's just that powershift is about to be added in real life in Las Vegas and they want to add this along with this event

[twilit obsidian]

LA is the worst map by a decent margin, then kyoto 2nd worst

You won! I'm definitely stopping THE FINALS, the game is uninstalling.
However, I have a lot of playing time. I gave you a lot of money and time. However, season 3 is horrible. Terminal attack is shit. matchmaking is also crap.
Why not have a rank (gold/diamond....) in Cashing out. We don't care about BUCKs.
all your shit weapons the katana / spear / hammer what is that? We are not playing an FPS.
The game is going in a direction that I don't like. I no longer feel respected as a player. I am disgusted, very disgusted.
I WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY MORE MONEY AND TIME. GOODBYE EMBARK

[tranquil trail]

[little creek]

u good?

[reef rampart]

How do people feel about powershift kyoto? I enjoyed the game S1 but when power shift was added is when i fell in absolute love with the game. After i hit diamond in S2 it's almost all i played, could sink hours into powershift and not get bored, it's like the game truly "clicked" for me, I enjoyed some maps a bit more than others, but didn't have any gripes with any powershift maps (other than sniper being too strong in general).

However, Kyoto feels consistently frustrating to play powershift on, I feel like the team that starts in the bamboo has an immediate disadvantage and on even matches too much of the map's fighting turns into a sluggish back and forth around the bamboo forest, which is also the spot others and myself experience large FPS dips while also being the area for the least amount of fun movement. I think the map could use more large jump pads, the movement around the map doesn't feel nearly as satisfying as Skyway, Monaco, and Sys$horizon. Sniper is a general issue I have with power shift's fundamental design, but feels especially bad on kyoto because of how little cover there is and how low the platform moves. I think Kyoto is an amazing map but i'm at the point where if i could i would opt out of queueing for it on powershift all together i would.

[nocturne apex]

the best thing is the foliage thats good for hiding. but having a few actual buildings unlike in monaco is awful

And that they would shoot powered missiles from RPGs and that there would also be robots, like guards and more fences, laser spikes and more...

Good riddance. The Finals doesn’t need him. Probably wasn’t a good contestant anyways

Probably a tk player

[hollow belfry]

At one point Embark will probably add Stockholm to the game, It would be cool to have Embark Studio building as a part of the map that we can destroy 😄 Maybe even dev desks with stuff like picture of frog Oscar in the frame or something. Please Emberk, we need this

1. Horizon
2. Seoul
3. Vegas
4. Skyway
5. Monaco
6. Kyoto

[earnest goblet]

Gonna guess a Europian map might be next

Roman coliseum

Maybe Iberia

[spark sage]

I’m still waiting for Victorian London

[hushed fox]

that would go hard

[static sand]

pls fix the ledge in Sys$Horizon right above the starting point of the powershift platform. It is an indestructible ledge that ages abused lights that use grappling hook to get up and snipe. and due to head-glitch it is almost impossible to kill them.

my suggestion would be to just make that ledge destructible. this would keep the spot for snipers since it is quite strong but makes it possible to defend against it.

or just delete the sniper weapon..... that would be gerat too :)

[earnest goblet]

I like this one

Jack the Ripper lights

[copper chasm]

That would be so nice, maybe next season ? 🤞

[spark sage]

Fr

[void fossil]

I get adding maps is hard but i think a mid season map update would be great. Maybe every season add a map at the beginning and then halfway through add a new one. World tour would be perfect for that

[rustic arrow]

they could also give us the variants that were in the trailer

[void fossil]

Yea i agree, even just changing maps up would spice up the gaem

[hollow belfry]

nah, season is just 100 days 😄 you need to make a lot of concepts, design the whole level, textures, models, lighting, fx and much more... Dusty already said that maps like Kioto were made before the game launch

play tests, changes... a lot of work

I wonder if in season ~6 or something, they will make non glitched variation of sys horrizon, and the glitched map will be only variation like sandstorm vegas

but... because it is a half sezon right now, maybe we can get any hint from Embark what's the next map? 😄

[earnest goblet]

I would like a close quarters subway type operation metro map with dense cityscape above

[red quest]

Medieval Castle or I Riot

[spark sage]

I want this as well, the melee weapons could get so many cool skins

i kinda doubt they'll do 2 non-modern maps in a row but i guess anything is possible

Day 18: Power Shift Vegas when?

[fiery dove]

honestly forgot vegas didn't have a power shift map

[errant cradle]

It’s sad too, Vegas is my favorite map and I’d love to see it in the PS rotation

[fiery dove]

im down for vegas if it isnt the sandstorm variant

[glad sparrow]

Honestly powershift needs more variants

[errant cradle]

TBH what I really want to see is the platform travel route in Horizon changed. To me the path makes it the most unfun Power Shift map of all

[pliant harbor]

Would love to see more cover added to SYSHORIZON and KYOTO

[rustic arrow]

i want more sandstorm maps

[violet swan]

i’d be interested to see them take on a tropical sort of location. maybe add. typhoon as a map variant that limits visibility like vegas and have thunderstorms.

[spark sage]

I want pool noodles swords and water gun handguns

[rustic arrow]

i want one of the toy foam swords

[spark sage]

Lmao they always broke within a week

I wanna get a long ballon sword skin

[hoary rose]

Rome map

[hollow star]

Vegas stinky

[woeful trellis]

It's a playground for lights. Big open spaces and tall buildings for snipers, tight rooms for melees and throwing knives, many different flanks, a bamboo forest where lights can hide in bushes. It does not mean other classes can not thrive in powershift Kyoto, it's just that lights will most likely have an easier time than other classes.

[visual ravine]

We need this, I don’t even use the sword and I would buy this.

[calm siren]

that would be fire sumthing like a sqeaky toy

[zealous patrol]

You guys guessed the Japan map. Where do you guys think we are going next?

You guys think we are going to try a future map next?

Hawaii
Dubai
Florida - Miami
California - Bay or L.A.
Russia
Bali
Maldives
Caribbean - Jamaica?
New York
Brazil 👀
London??? 👀 Slightly futuristic London??
Australia - Giant spiders

A MUTHA' FUKIN' CRUISE SHIP??? - Icon of the seas is huge, it holds over 2k people.

Maybe we get another map like Skyway stadium or SYSHorizon & they go back/forth between real world maps and Embark created maps

What y'all thinking?

[small glacier]

GERMANY

but 1949

[tranquil trail]

"and embark created maps" i think the better word would be fictional locations, because they're kinda all embark created, right? i know Monaco is based on a real place surprisingly 1:1 but

i think we need a map that's just a violent mix of several different real world locations

[zealous patrol]

You get what I mean

[tranquil trail]

Yeah

[zealous patrol]

I would like a fictional moon base kinda map or something futuristic.

Even a future Kyoto but I think that should be more of an asset flip than a whole seperate release. Id be pissed if they used an asset flip as a new map.

[nimble vault]

Costco as a map would be 🔥

[tame marten]

whoa, hold your cupcake, Jerome
but Waffle House tho, now that's a battlefield

[static sand]

fix the indestructible ledge in sys$horizon

[tame marten]

actually,mine would be "fix the lightings"

Sys$Horizon is so bright indoors, getting flash'd is the only way I'd see it

But the bank it update stated:

“series of improvements we’re planning to make to each of our game modes over the course of Season 3, including our Cashout and Power Shift modes”

[visual ravine]

Idk, maybe it’s just bug fixes?

[runic belfry]

nah im 100% sure they intend to change the way things are played out in matches, plus if you look at the changes for cashout and bank-it they defo arent bug fixes

[visual ravine]

Ok 👍

[bright portal]

[earnest goblet]

Rome or a new SYS map

[teal fable]

season 2 trailer video (SYS Horizon) it was the most viewed video on YT. another map of the same or similar aesthetic to SYS horizon would be a good idea for marketing (pastel walls, voxelation, 8bit sounds, retrowave, etc)

[brazen ermine]

Imagine if we could get SYS but as a non hacked version.

[zealous patrol]

One think I realize is that people dont want a repeat of the instance that gave them a great feeling. They instead want a new great feeling "

So its good to note that Embark hit the head with the style and aesthetic of the map, is that something that we really wanna run dry?

I would advise against it because of the law of diminishing returns. Folks will say that it's a lazy attempt or something like that.

The map has grown on me but not only is it not my favorite map still but I would be unhappy to see another CNS hacked/incomplete map.
(That being said, I would be extactic to see a set flipped map using Kyoto or SYSHorizon as inspiration since technically CNS messed with both of those maps in a way)

We went to the past with Kyoto, so now I would be happy to see some sort of futuristic map this time.

[zealous patrol]

Exactly, one of the sponsors "fix" the map and we see what it's supposed to be

[teal fable]

yeah liek a cousin to it, future is the way to go, my idea is future + sys vibes (retro / voxel?, no 8bit/pastels?)

[chilly anchor]

in the new season，Will there be more maps?

[tawdry meteor]

Who know, summer usually means holiday for developers

[austere steppe]

map idea where everything is bigger than you and you are shrunk

like a giant flowerpot or something

in a bedroom or kitchen maybe

[twin pike]

Make another map similar to the CNS Map or you can have a OSPUZE arena or something like that. Or even a Holtow arena aswell and since the game has a bit of lore you can add the original The Finals location of the game like the first map added to the game (The finals it self) and top of that you can have Scotty say something like “I remember this spot when I was a contestant” or something in that nature and real life based locations you can add New York or Rome Colosseum in the 5th century and yeaaa that’s those are my little brain storm ideas

[zinc gazelle]

Hey The Finals team, really loving the game! Why not do a space themed season? With a Lunar or Martian map. Maybe a huge base with a dome over it? The cosmetics and weapons could look awesome too! ALWAYS THE FINALS! 💚

[zinc gazelle]

reminds me of toy story haha.

[spark sage]

maybe we could have SYS variants of other maps

[rose cliff]

Next map needs to be another really world location - can draw from any period in history though

[glad sparrow]

Day 20: Power Shift Vegas when? I wanna spend my weekend destroying the slots 🎰

[twilit rune]

Cyberpunk themed map
Tall buildings neon lights at night with a rain variation
Or a mad max themed map (wasteland)
Maybe a retro arcade map similar to sys horizon

[spiral spoke]

[main tinsel]

why is soul not in ta?

[teal fable]

because of the layout, weird attacking angles

maybe have it be forced construction, attackers spawn in construction and defense rotates each main direction every round??

just no hospital

Lol I would hate that to be honest... It's hard for me to express over keyboard how much I dislike this idea. Id actually be very mad if they made a bedroom and shipped it to us as a whole map.

That's just me though

[zealous patrol]

Oh my God!

OFFICIAL SPONSOR ARENAS 🗣️‼️‼️

That's actually dope AF!

(If I mad add to this idea)
These small arenas for the sponsors are actually SMALLER MAPS and they are specifically for TDM game modes.

Still have destruction, they also are the color theme of each sponsor.

You are a genius

[void fossil]

idk really know the lore can someone sum it up for me

[zealous patrol]

The Finals is the world's most popular gameshow 100 years in the future.

In most arenas you can look up and see the spectators in the stands.

You compete for "glory" and the sponsors have a heavy influence in the cosmetics you get and they are the one that make the events happen in the matches.

Imo they can do more to add to the Lore a bit or make it more relevant.

Have us "apply" to sponsors each season and compete for cosmetics

They can have us "recruit people" (in other words, have us group up and play together for our sponsors - kinda like how athletes have sponsors on their clothes - you should be able to rep a sponsor in your company)

Spectate mode where we get to be in the stands (in game) and watch top 500 players mid match.

We are "competing in the world's greatest gameshow" I feel like they are cooking some features up that has us feeling like stars in the future but for now we're just playing the game

[void fossil]

thats pretty cool

Day 21: Power Shift Vegas when?

[green thistle]

Just add a bunch of maps tbh. We need like 5 more, SOMETHING

[fallen wedge]

Pirate map with a tavern, ships, beaches etc could go kinda hard, Wild West saloon type as well perhaps? Give me feedback yall

Space map as well? Gives permanent low gravity, moon base type feel or maybe on a spacecraft? Could have some interesting out of bounds visuals

[teal kernel]

amsterdam map would be sick

like a lifted up version where there's flying boats

[gentle mist]

Monterrey Bay Aquarium , Canary Row, Prescott ave

Complimentary features to other maps, such as the angling of the plane, diverse terrain, urban environment, Lots of vertical mobility with enclosed buildings, desctructability.

Has similar elements to the other maps;

Monaco , buildings and curved streets, ( surrounding buildings, water front section with pacific ocean )

Las Vegas , recognizable location, garage area ( next to aquarium )

Sys , colors and features, ( aquarium part .. see below )

Skyway , Similarity with buildings, trenched passways between buildings. ( park behind canary row towards prescott ave )

Seoul,with the glass on the outside buildings, double bridge area ( above canary row )

... etc

The aquarium part could be permenantly indestructable, like in other maps.

This could even be taken a step further with the exhibit tanks containing trippy interactive features.

[lofty void]

We need maps with realistic moving trains, everything besides the floor is destroyable, and the windows you can jump through, but the trains at full speed are faster than all the classes, and they can perhaps have cashouts on them that enemy teams must cowardinate attacking points at train stops or get on aposing trains and jump on to the other one.

[sour plaza]

agree w you 100%, most goated idea ive heard yet tbh

[left python]

kyoto is bad

so is sys horizon and sandstorm vegas, dont much like those

[lucid pagoda]

don't like big map, mainly the wide open one

cover are always a step too far for comfort

[fallow widget]

Kyoto and world tour are the positive things to come out of season 3. Beautiful map, fun traversal.

[lucid pagoda]

gameplay > looks

even if it look like a piece of art i dont want to play it if it play like crap

[eager notch]

They need to add ikea

[lucid pagoda]

would actually be funny

[harsh creek]

We need a carribean like map. maybe cuba, to get a pirate paradise like map. or mayb norway shores to make it look like vikings or smthgn

[opal prawn]

Welcome to our newest arena at Thieve's Cove where contestants better get to boarding those ships or risk losing the booty.

[opal prawn]

Welcome to Halthum Fortress where contestants must break the siege and the walls to secure true victory.

[opal prawn]

Welcome to Havana where contestants must fight through this colorful paradise and hopefully break an embargo on their cashouts.

[opal prawn]

Welcome to our arena in the Monterry Bay Aquarium where contestants who earn cash get to donate their rewards in honor of the great, but fallen, Rosa the Otter.

[opal prawn]

Welcome to the VAIIYA moon base where contestants better watch where they're shooting those rockets or risk destroying the gravity field.

[opal prawn]

Welcome to Miami where contestants face the dangers of Florida alongside the beauty of the city and the coast.

[harsh creek]

Lol
June: Our contestants must not get distracted by the serene and vibrant coasts of this paradise!

I got an idea:
Los Antonio. The city of Casinos, Skyscrapers, Italian cuisine, European Architecture, Digital Times Square Advertisement, OSPUZE and Ikea factories, Japanese temples and car culture, Glitchy apartments, and mountains of trash.

[sage summit]

anybody who's gone to kyoto in the summer knows it gets deathly hot
therefore i propose a gameevent for the map where you take damage if you aren't inside or under shade

[gentle portal]

Sniper mains sobbing with this one

[worldly coral]

when is oakland going to be added in?

[spark sage]

the event stole their job

[solemn monolith]

Vancouver or Seattle map sounds cool tbh (varied terrain and interesting architecture and environments)

[opal prawn]

Welcome to Seattle where contestants will reach to the skies on the massive space needle and dip low for scraps of cash in the streets below.

[opal prawn]

Welcome to Paris where our expectations for this match are as high as the eiffel tower, at least until the contestants destroy it.

[opal prawn]

There's a little heat wave outside in today's arena, contestants who stand in the sun too much will get some tanning or maybe a sunburn or two.

[opal prawn]

Welcome to Terminal Junction where contestants better watch the tracks or risk becoming flattened like a can of OspUze

[sage summit]

i hadnt thought of that but that makes it even better lol

[earnest goblet]

SYS$Escher

[earnest goblet]

The Pentagon

[broken siren]

when or do we even get the fall and cherry blossom version of the kyoto map teased at around 0:29 in the official season 3 trailer?

and i would love to see more variations of the maps that actually changes how you play the map, like in the older maps (monaco duck and cover, seoul under construction, skyward stadium high rise, las vegas sandstorm), do we get get different variations for the already established maps in the future like horizon and kyoto?

[zealous patrol]

What if the added an "ICBM event" lol.

When two big ass missiles are dropped on the cashouts.

We need to scramble away mid match cuz they do heavy arena damage and noteworthy player damage.

[opal prawn]

CNS is feeling a little silly this round, whatever mess this map is has made it into our selection of arenas.

[opal prawn]

Are we legally allowed to use this arena? We are? Oh we aren't? Then why are we here?

[opal prawn]

We've got a little issue in the arena as a foreign country has launched missiles onto the arena. Contestants better run for cover or get caught in an explosive situation.

[karmic scaffold]

pls either remove or rework kyoto its not a battle map way too much foliage tall and smaall builduings genrally bad design at least remove it from next world tour

[woven salmon]

True

Can you make Tokyo (now or in the Future) as a map? Ist an idea course I think it can look realy Nice in Ue 5 with al these lights

[tranquil trail]

Sys$Horizon needs at least ONE map variant. even a simple one.

i propose that they mirror the map.

[nocturne apex]

🙏 variants are needed

[earnest goblet]

Foliage is on point. Screw dem snipers

[undone elbow]

Please get rid of people being able to be on the bamboo on Kyoto

Right after ther kensington philly update

[earnest goblet]

Mall Of America

Chongqing, China

Walled City Kowloon

[light radish]

a cyberpunk map, there is so much cyber cosmetics from like vaiiya but a night city like map would be awesome, with closequarters and narrow streets but also avenues

[wintry badge]

I agree but it doesnt really work with the whole CNS theme

Unless they add a unique one

Something less like the finals

[opal prawn]

Perfectly mirrored and split down the middle

[plush jackal]

we need a mall, that would be amazing

[daring quarry]

that would be cool

but i feel like thats very similar to vegas

[wintry badge]

Maybe just lower some of the tall buildings to be at floor level on sys as a version

[sly dagger]

For sure. I love the map but it feels weird without variants

[wintry badge]

This honestly feels like a decent idea for horizon

[snow steeple]

Bring back tripwires and turrets. It was annoying but funny af

[earnest goblet]

Maybe something more unique like a special weather destruction event

Like an earthquake or tornado

It'd go crazy if their was a forge mode in the finals, like halo or tf2

[tough bobcat]

A colosseum map would be crazy

[zealous patrol]

Not everyone has good taste and that's alright

[zealous patrol]

Coliseum map with completely flat terrain?

[zealous patrol]

Snow Storm:
Walking on the ground slows you because of deep snow.

[tough bobcat]

Maybe they could make map variants have to do something with the center of it. Like a ship or floating platforms

[zealous patrol]

Event effects throwables (like frags, barrels, & arena carriables)
And it also slowly destroys buildings from the top down
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[zealous patrol]

This would be cool I think.

I wonder if servers could handle it though

It would definitely be cinematic af though.

Imagine that on max settings

[tough bobcat]

An event that makes it rain canisters lol. Gas would ruin the game

[zealous patrol]

Where can we discuss new game mode ideas?

---

Fugg' it🤷🏾‍♂️ check me out y'all:

✨New Game Mode Concept: "Blitz"✨Day 30

Here is an idea for a new game mode in The Finals, inspired by Hardpoint

CORE PRINCIPLES:

Appeal to new players:
Faster respawns and a focus on maintaining control of a designated area make it easier for new players to jump into The Finals and contribute.

Fast-paced and engaging:
Short to medium length matches and constant objective switching keep the action flowing, as well as short respawn times.

Teamwork encouraged:
Earning money is based on team presence within the zone, rewarding coordinated pushes and revives.

• I believe the long respawns in every game mode has turned away a lot of people. "Fast paced & Chaotic" don't seem palatable when mixed with high respawn times. I understand we want to incentivise team work, revives, and strategy but I think a game mode with fast respawns is well overdue in a game like The Finals.

GAMEPLAY:

Team Setup:
3 teams of 4 players.
If supported - 3 teams of 5

• Here I want to increase team size because I feel like people want bigger team sizes in The Finals to play with more friends. Also we might want a lot of concentrated destruction.
  I feel like 3 teams of 4 would not be too much and would be fun for a casual game mode.
  (Also would effect the size of zone and balance which is fine since all of this is just a concept)

Blitz Zone:
A designated area on the map becomes the objective (Blitz Zone or whatever it ends up being named). It can be circular, shaped like a building, or highlighted by a beam.

Earning Money:
Teams earn money based on the number of players within the Blitz Zone. More teammates present translates to exponentially higher earnings per tick.

Example:
-One person in the area will earn the base amount of points - $10 per tick

-Two people earn the base amount of $10 per tick PLUS $5 each (since there are 2 team mates inside.)

-Three people all earn the base amount of $10 per tick PLUS a bonus of $10 each (since there are 3 team mates inside

-Full team will receive a base amount of $10 per tick PLUS a bonus of $15 or $20 EACH (since there is a full team alive in the zone)

Penalties & Rewards:
"Direct Deposit" - Kills have a small siphon effect where you take money from the enemy you killed and it's added to your teams total balance.
NOTE: Only kills between players inside the Blitz Zone have siphon effect. ✨Clutch players REJOICE✨

"Team wipe" aka "Bankruptcy" - Same as cashout, you loose a percentage of your teams balance if your whole team is dead at the same time.
OR bankruptcy can have a short lock-out effect where a team might not be able to earn for a short period of time after respawning.

("Bankruptcy" might be too much for a casual mode since it makes another variable to calculate mid gunfight. Might but be good for the gamer that wants to just shut their brain off. If they play this and don't care about score tm8s will complain and ruin the mood... Maybe this is an idea for a less casual mode🤷🏾‍♂️)

Match Duration:
The game lasts between 5-10 minutes with the Blitz Zones active for 2-4 minutes each before switching to a new location.

Suggestion:
For all casual modes, turn on auto Re-que. It's a wise decision.

This is a starting point, and all aspects of Blitz are open for discussion and refinement.

Thanks for your consideration 🚀

[stable yoke]

there has already been an event with snow
(Christmas 2023)

[serene ember]

You know colleseums have tiered seats and tunnels, right?

[sick mortar]

Kyoto is way too big for world tour and it’s not even a map for that style of play

[opal prawn]

As someone who uses a lot of movement for fighting, I like the map cause it has plenty of points for me to flank from

[sick mortar]

I get what your saying I’m just not really a fan of the buildings and the cash out points

[opal prawn]

They aren't the best designed, I usually just Grenade spam inside them so :/

[glad sparrow]

Day 26: Power Shift Vegas when?
I missed yesterday 😩

[thorny plaza]

can they make a map in Shibuya City please

[queen ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/in-shock-gif-17553158948252598097

[lucid pagoda]

agree, the bamboo suck for movement and throwable, the building is too small and on the next room its too big, its also a sniper haven

look good but never want to play it 4/10

[sick mortar]

Couldn’t have said it better they need to rework it I think

[warped field]

Kyoto has one big issue imo: basements.
Every building fight ends up the same way, the cashout slowly crumbling its way into the basement where it becomes surounded by turrets, mines, gas and fire.

[static glen]

sick

[mental saddle]

Fr, im sick of It

[warped field]

That aside, its a good map. I can even forget the water being annoying.

SysHorizon is my choice of the worse map in the game. Empty and large af, bland looking and the destruction is just completely unpredictable and sometimes unfair.

[earnest goblet]

I beg to differ, it may hinder movement but it's a great shroud against sniper fire

[zealous patrol]

I'm thinking about a map with a similar effect like Kyoto.

There is snow on the ground by default and you are slowed down by it

Or ice, and the ice makes you slide and effects your directional input

[short parcel]

Came here to say that force of habit has me still jumping the Kyoto stairs

[void fossil]

@warped field can you concept an idea for me

[void fossil]

Deadrising 2 mall

[earnest goblet]

Mall of America

[tough bobcat]

I think the maps could have cool seasonal variants depending on real world seasons. Like a summer spring autumn and winter where the tree leaves change and the weather is affected

[void fossil]

this would be cute

[warped field]

What idea?

[void fossil]

a CNS attack helicopter that can break structures

I had a PVE mode idea and im modeling/animating some enemies

[earnest goblet]

Getting attack helicopter Rust flashbacks

[void fossil]

[calm verge]

do we have any news whats next season map gonna be

[warped field]

Getting Teardown vibes from that.

[earnest goblet]

People were speculating Rome

[void fossil]

yesss

[warped field]

Speculating about ancient egypt too.

(Zaraby casino, and all those egyptian pharao stuff laying around)

[void fossil]

next season would land on halloween-ish

[tough bobcat]

Can we have contestants turn into candy instead of cash during Halloween

[void fossil]

death shaders would be a cool thing...

[void fossil]

does the idea interest you, or nada

[warped field]

I mean I could maybe do it one day.

[twin pike]

Ospuze Arena sounds cool!

[stoic lynx]

can we get the finals server room

[twin pike]

🤣

[dreamy minnow]

Bern would be SICK. You could collapse the bridge and if you fall into the water it would kill you just like the void in Skyway or Seoul. The clock tower could also ring when it hits 1 minute left or half time.

I know they might be adding Rome next season, way too many hints and people are asking for it

Rob has talked a ton about it

[warped field]

Or it doesnt kill you but slows the progression to the higher levels of the city by a lot.

I personally think Rio de Janeiro favelas would be amazing.

[viral wing]

My personal opinion on Season 4 map:
Canada with 70s atmosphere

Would be so so good

[earnest goblet]

I can see the roman colosseum completely yellow

[stoic lynx]

Idea: a virtual stadium like a 100 player social hub so people can watch esports events “live”(if they happen)

basically the spectator stands of you always see surrounding the maps

[cobalt canopy]

LA with the beaches would be dope

[earnest goblet]

I'd like that. Include the LA river tunnels and youve got a deal

[rotund crown]

would be sick

[opal prawn]

You're trying to turn our computers into IEDs istg

[opal prawn]

This match takes place in the beautiful city of Bern. It seems a bad storm came through and flooded the arena today. Contestants might wanna stick to the rooftops.

[opal prawn]

A beautiful and majestic sight indeed, our match takes us to the Mall of America. Contestants will need multiple sets of skills to conquer this commercial complex.

[opal prawn]

Looks like CNS is interrupting our broadcast today, rockets are raining down on the arena from above!

[opal prawn]

Here at THE FINALS we've faced a recent cyber attack so we are calling upon Contestants to join up with our VAIIYA agents to squash the virtual invaders.

[opal prawn]

Welcome to Giza, a beautiful land of pyramids, canals, and languages we still don't fully understand. Hopefully our contestants don't get the Pharaoh's Curse.

[void fossil]

yissss

[hidden patrol]

fcar

[fringe blade]

Dude, me too. I jus don't know how to do animations. Half tempted jus to try to make my trailer for the idea via multiboxing while in a private match an edit it together

[opal prawn]

I'm imagining contestants with the CNS hacker glitch effect

[void fossil]

[void fossil]

i can help you!

I made like a heck ton of stuff in my existence

[fringe blade]

So I have a rough draft of it if you wanna read my idea. It's jus slightly too long to post here but I could dm it to you

[void fossil]

Yah you can DM me

[polar vault]

The new map sadly sucks

[void fossil]

it looks pretty tho

[polar vault]

Its all trees you can barely see anything

[void fossil]

well i like the map personally, its point is to be outdoorsy

[proven solar]

Kyoto is cool an all an I like how it looks but how it plays is shit an after the recent update. after 1 building gets destroyed for me an everyone else I've asked the frames go to straight shit on console an is almost unplayable.

[misty mural]

it makes my fps go down by 70 💀

[proven solar]

Yeah on xbox our shit goes down by 12 or under

An it'll spike like hella its just a shit map to play on

[errant cradle]

I like Kyoto for one reason: I can slide forever 🛝. Other than that it’s my second-least favorite map after Monaco

[tranquil trail]

i feel like something i want is a sense of wonder and ability to get lost that these maps just. don't keep once you're familiar with them.

Seoul's island-like buildings are very isolated. it's all big set-pieces.
The exact edges of Skyway Stadium are incredibly defined.
SYS$Horizon and Las Vegas don't have edges that are apparent from a mile away, but that are very apparent once you're close to them.
Monaco and Kyoto are fine in terms of map borders but i definitely feel like i'm already familiar with them.

i want a map that's just really dense, with no angle to get an overview of an area. i wanna get lost again, dang it

[floral fjord]

Were is the power shift in Las Vegas?

[sonic meadow]

Power shift can't be in vegas

[tranquil trail]

why not

[sonic meadow]

Idk

[tranquil trail]

??????????? then how do you know? surely the- oh. no the other guy meant when they would be adding Power Shift to Las Vegas. i'm assuming you thought they were asking why they haven't seen Power Shift in vegas

[sonic meadow]

You can see what maps each game mode is on if you right click on it

[tranquil trail]

anyway, i- i was going to say they were asking when power shift was going to be added to vegas but i actually don't know if that's what they meant

[sonic meadow]

Oh

[glass ice]

Venice map

[sonic meadow]

Pathos island map fr

[waxen ledge]

Hong Kong map when 👀
Neon city lights, skyscrapers + massive water, could have a similar setup as Kyoto + Skyway Stadium where there’s different sections, but the bit between the sections would be the harbour / river

Think it’d fit nicely in the finals style 👀👀👀

[tough bobcat]

Someone made this mashup of the finals and dua lipa and it just gave me a cool concept in my head. https://youtu.be/j2hpGbv1qgQ?si=lSV22fnyQb4ec8w9
Basically there would be an artist or some crossover event with a music artist. There'd be an LTM that's just a pure chaos elimination focused round with the collab music playing giving the opportunity for clips and stuff. Maybe you would earn some virtual merch to wear as well. A cool thought I think.

[zealous patrol]

What's the likelihood we get more then 1 map next season?

[gentle portal]

What's the likelihood we get more damage for the 93r instead of the stupid accuracy/recoil reduction

[slim igloo]

or at least makes it burst faster so it can have faster ttk

[gentle portal]

bring it back to its s2 specs frfr

[harsh creek]

i mean ok, but i think we should go for some other beach. la would be sick, but we alr got american city. lets go for rio di janeiro with skyscrapers and jungles in the back

[tranquil trail]

low

[runic belfry]

very low, there isnt an issue with 1 map per season its just yall are content hungry for no reason. besides are you aware how difficult it must be making all the assests for the map and then breaking those assets into various smaller pieces so the dynamic destruction actually works properly ;-;

[west haven]

💀

[warped field]

Doesnt need to be skyscrapers. Favelas would work very well.

[earnest goblet]

for real, don't need more sniper nests at the moment

[sonic meadow]

New York map? Could be off centered, so a bit of the map is central park and the other parts are the city and tall towers

That or what would be awesome, Austin Texas map with the capital building

That thing is huge and would be so fun to cash out in

[warped field]

Could also be the museum of natural history. Its small enough to be an entire map by itself.

[sonic meadow]

That would be cool

oh shoot cash outs in different exhibits

[warped field]

Blow up a ceiling and suddently 🗿

[sonic meadow]

Sledge hammer through a wall and suddenly 🦖🦖

The natural science museum in Houston would be fire for that

[restive pendant]

Ive died so many times now from trying to invis bomb a building wall im standing next to on Kyoto and the invis bomb flies right through the wall. Super annoying

[hoary rose]

Rome map

[glad sparrow]

After 24 days straight I started slacking
but Day 28: Power Shift Vegas when? We NEED it!

[void fossil]

YEssir

[spark sage]

Can you both be good members of the server and keep topics to the designated channels

Nope

I just feel as though that conversation is unnecessary

Alright

You did not have to do me like that just for trying to stay on topic

[ancient ocean]

there is Map plans for quick cash? like in valorant

[ornate loom]

just throwing this out here but i would like to see like a jungle style map or a space station

[sudden orchid]

Maybe an Australia / new Zealand map. Maybe cns screws up[or on purpose] and drops a place in the middle of an area there (cause they do have a lot of just open space)

[tacit osprey]

I dislike kyoto optimization 😦

[scarlet tendon]

kyoto cool

[tired bolt]

agree

[viral wing]

Kyoto is great but man the moving platform is pain

[tacit osprey]

I get lower fps on kyoto

[tacit osprey]

Darn that map

[lusty ridge]

Kyoto needs a rework. Other maps don't have that much foliage and vegetation

[brazen ermine]

I think its perfect but las Vegas needs to be more optimised for demeterial

[runic belfry]

well thats the point... we're in feudal Japan before humans industrialised everything. compared to the more modern maps its not really a surprise japan has more foliage ;-;

[lusty ridge]

It's an arena... It should have more of the yellow concrete/arena material that they've used on skyway stadium.

[runic belfry]

what makes you think that arena material is necessary exactly?

the maps are largely inspired by real life places (except skyway)

[spark sage]

And sys horizon lol

[runic belfry]

true

[runic belfry]

well actually i wouldnt be surprised if sys was modelled off an irl place. its just for that map they went for a minimalist style so we dont really know where it is

[lusty ridge]

Less objects = more FPS
I know that they're inspired but still... It's an arena - so a Copy of the real thing

[lusty ridge]

It is an IRL place somewhere in the USA

I watched a video about it

[runic belfry]

probably spears video im pretty sure he has one dedicated to sys

[runic belfry]

i mean i get your point but the bamboo forest is sort of separated from the buildings areas so its kinda keeping the fps equal to what it would probably be if you were fighting inside. i mean thats my view on it anyway

[lucid pond]

Now that season 2 and season 3 focuses on the future and past respectively, what in tarnation the devs gon cook next.

[wooden badge]

is SYS set in the future tho? i thought it was a simulation/corrupted place from the real world, although i guess the architecture could be from a more futuristic place

[lucid pagoda]

why do i always get kyoto and low grav?

[void fossil]

Fuck sandy Vegas

[opal prawn]

Its believed to be a corrupted version of futuristic DC

[harsh creek]

yeahhh. signature brazilian city

[harsh creek]

What if the Sys Horizon was the CNS trying to somehow download a map that based on an actual city in the world from somewhere into the systems of the game, but couldn't because of some malfunction? And that caused the map to be an unfinished version? Imagine if they brought out a complete version thats actually irl. Future london???

[pearl wasp]

WHY DOESNT RELOAD LET U USE ABILITY (heavy) So dumb logic

[void fossil]

Kyoto is so dark

[tropic lantern]

Day : 4
WORLD TOUR (updated)
So we pretty much keep how the tour works but ever 2 weeks we instead of just “switching” maps we add regions to it
Example: session one we are stuck on west coast of America the maps are Vegas, mesa verde in Colorado there’s a potential to do an Area 51 base and have this ALL underground and Seattle WA

while during session two we are on the east coast (or random region) we could see Montreal and or Toronto (near Niagara fall) Boston MA Baltimore MD and since we don’t really have one yet but I feel like there should atleast be a map near a amusement park so cedar point (Sandusky Ohio)

Session 3: Monaco Barcelona Paris and a location somewhere in the Switzerland alps and or Rome (a lot of ppl want rome so id swap it out with Barcelona or Paris)
session 4: is Seoul Kyoto Shanghai and somewhere along the Great Wall

Now these are just some of the locations I could think of it definitely would NOT surprise me if we see a 3-5 story underground at some point in the future and only specific area can NOT be destroyed due to them being a critical structures of the building (and or them having no floor below it) BUT they can be destroyed with 1-2 min left in game (or not at all) and this would prbly work best as Area 51 Svalbard seed vault and or WW2 Germany (enemy side)

(Also can we just make this the new TA instead of cashout and make cashout the standard rank)

[frigid isle]

Hey guys been wanting to see if people are going through the same thing, is there some sort of system in place to make sure that when you leave a game, your next map will be the same as the one you left? (quick cash) to be blunt, I despise kyoto and vegas to a lesser extent, so I leave the second I get those maps. Yet 9 times out of ten the map I load into next is just the same one again, i check to make sure it's not literally the same game/match but it almost always isn't. Does the game just force you to keep playing on a map until you finish a game to its completion?

[viral wing]

At nights, yes

[void fossil]

[viral wing]

Oh..

I don’t like KYOTO when it comes to moving platforms and nights

I'm the type of guy to break all the lights on Kyoto just to make it a pain for everyone else

[spark cobalt]

[idle kernel]

San Francisco would make a great map. connected Victorian style houses, a mini Lombard St. (crookedest street in the world), Coit Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.

[fair kite]

agreed

[brittle tinsel]

Egypt map would be amazing

[feral copper]

Fr

Yea bro we need more maps

[earnest goblet]

it's gotta be hippie days tho

1970's San Francisco

[feral copper]

Thats a lot of open area in the desert tho?

[brittle tinsel]

@feral copper It could be in Cairo. Or a made up place with the pyramids in the background would be sick

[static ridge]

How about a space map on the moon or mars? It could be in an airtight container arena on a planet. I feel like it could work

[river parcel]

What about red square map

And vodka item

[brazen ermine]

Australia map like in Sydney.

Or a New York map (post 2001)

Take us to Venice Italy @pearl swift

[abstract sedge]

I hope out next map really pushes the whole virtual gameshow part of this game.

[warped field]

How?

I'd rather have real life locations than having Horizon 2.0 tbh.

[abstract sedge]

There’s so much more you can do to a level than a location imo

Imagine our next arena takes place inside a stadium that’s frozen in place/time. Maybe because of that aspect, some objects can acts as platforms until destroyed

[gentle portal]

Floating flower pot my beloved

[abstract sedge]

I just feel like there’s so much potential in the virtual arenas! And that’s not dissing the irl locales, they are good too

BUG - it happened to me twice at the final game in cashout that the box goes underneath the world

[gentle portal]

Namatama has taken over the world

Oh yea probably should mention this but there is a bug where the cash box will get softlocked if the unopened box opens right before it hits the void

[abstract sedge]

Scotty: No longer called the “Big Apple” by the locals, Namatama takes it’s place on top of the Empire State Building

[gentle portal]

Since the return point is where the cashbox popped open

[scarlet hare]

no, theres 1 box, it's the final round

[gentle portal]

In quick cash

[scarlet hare]

no, cashout. at the WT

[gentle portal]

Quick cash only has 1 box

It’s the final round except with a third team

[scarlet hare]

the bug im talking about happens at the final round of WT cashout. were there is one box

[gentle portal]

But yea it just gets “softlocked” since you can still get down there using goo

[gentle portal]

I’m talking about a different bug

Your bug is the floor swallowing the cashbox

[scarlet hare]

exactly

[gentle portal]

What did you mean up here then

[scarlet hare]

I understood that you thought that bug happens when there's 2 boxes in game

[gentle portal]

Oh

I should probably submit a formal bug report with videos

[scarlet hare]

how you do that?

The big cathedral map is the best 😄

[copper panther]

Imagine a map that looks like dark forest from chivalry 2 with trebuchet scattered around the map that can launch contestants from point A to B.

[earnest goblet]

If I can bunny hop the trebuchet momentum I'm in

[harsh creek]

Any planet from super earth. Imagine if it actually has helldivers fighting terminids in the background (the impaler is going crazy)

[copper panther]

For sure

[earnest goblet]

Welcome to Non-Euclidean SYS$Escher

[copper panther]

Lol where is the engaging gameplay part of it?

[copper panther]

Monument valley type mechanic would go so hard

[harsh creek]

idk maybe u get an event "Terminid Invasion" wd be so cool

[earnest goblet]

The map should look different from afar and warp as you get closer

[harsh creek]

ye i guess

what abt my Terminid Invasion idea

[copper panther]

Ok I can see it. Like 3 chargers scattered around the map for max griefing

[harsh creek]

nooo bro. in the background. like u cant go to that place. its like the beach in monaco. its in the background, like wallpaper

[copper panther]

But event needs to have an effect on gameplay just like every other event in the game

[harsh creek]

and for the event i mean the lower class terminids, not smthgn like impalers.

[harsh creek]

ye true. what abt stratagems 💀

[copper panther]

Bro just go play helldivers lol

[harsh creek]

cant region locked. if my account is from a country that does have psn, but i dont live there can i still play??

[earnest goblet]

The Pentagon

Kowloon Walled City

[copper panther]

Not sure

[short tendon]

Jerusalem. Having destruction mechanics will not lead to any controversy

[earnest goblet]

And I thought me pitching the Pentagon was risky lol

[short tendon]

I’m literally Jewish

[livid oak]

Looks cool 😎

[teal fable]

most maps made, in lore or irl, have an exorbitant amount of wealth, what wealthy places would fit in?
besides SYS Horizon

also this one is going to be italy/rome, peak wealth empire & coliseum?

[livid oak]

Rome, NYC, Paris, some German cities perhaps? Arabic/Persian gulf countries as well and I'd say Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei

[south lintel]

The architecture of Russia is ideal for building a map. You can combine several landmarks such as the Red Square, the Kremlin, the Kazan Cathedral or the Spaso-Yakovlevsky Monastery in Rostov. And you will get an ideal map with different branching paths for both movement and imagination, thanks to its expanses on the streets you can put the same trampolines and swings, and also do not forget about the transport that they want to introduce, plus quite a lot of players from CIS countries play The finals, I am sure that the maneuver can create a buzz around the game and attracting new players.
I'm sorry, I would have thrown off the screenshots, but I'm new here.

Day 30: Power Shift Vegas when? We NEED it!

[noble field]

New map idea: Seaside carnival. American style. Horror attraction full of unexpected traps and shit. If ferris wheel is destroyed, it will roll all the way on the map until it reached and fall at the entrance. Anyone who gets in the way will be squashed. Roller coasters can be ride by players for long range advantage point. Roller coaster rides can be shut down by 2 players at the control panel. If a player on a coaster got stopped in the middle of a loop, he will fall to his death. House of mirrors will have the best advantage to hide from players but it has some turrets (npc). Circus is filled with parkour obstacles for very nice maneuverability. Horse carousel can be riden by a player to reveal a cashout terminal. Popcorn stands will heal a small amount of players health.

[tranquil trail]

my completely outlandish dream game mode is this:
a game of Power Shift between two teams, and a game of Bank It between two teams. both are happening on the same map, simultaneously.
Players can attack anyone who isn't on their team, but there's no incentive to. (Bank It players don't impede or assist the platform, Power Shift players don't drop coins on death.)
The only change to either mode's core rules is that depositing coins in the Bank It game while your enemies are winning doesn't add to your score, it subtracts to theirs, basically making it equivelant to the Platform. The winning amount would be lowered to 20k or something to compensate.
ADMs or whatever they're called are more likely to spawn close to the platform's location. heck, maybe there's constantly an ADM on the Platform.
When either team reaches their win condition, they enter Sudden Death mode. They must keep their win condition (Platform is at the base for Power Shift players, total coin count is 20k more than the other team's for the Bank It players.) while trying to help the game end faster for the other team. They'd most likely help the team already winning, but then the other team would help the losing team in order to stall to try and break the win condition.
Overall, this is highly unrealistic but I want it

[errant cradle]

What I want is a Finals gun game. Start with a gun, get X kills with that gun, and you switch to a new gun. Go through all the class’ guns to win

Rio de Janeiro, 1986

I chose 1986 because:
• in the late 80s many drug gangs first started moving into the favela
•this caused a huge uprise and made the area highly dangerous.

When you bring this location into the finals, this will not only give the game a new map with the same destruction, but it would deliver the game with a new environemnt in which players can explore the slums of the favela itself and find out that theres so many places to hide or just setting traps.

heres what im thinking:

•Soccer court based off the Cantumbi area(look it up).There can be a soccer ball in the middle which you dribble(just walking into it) and into a goal which does absolutely nothing😃

•Bunch of favela houses that are either colorful and grafittied or in ruins.
•In the distance you can see the Rio Beaches, maybe even Christ the Redeemer.

If you guys do add something similar to this, I hope that its dense, chaotic, and colorful environment make the map feel immersive and rich.

P.S: This is heavily inspired by COD:MW2 2009 having a favela map.

I want this so bad

[south lintel]

and I always wanted to destroy Kyiv*)

[hexed token]

Can we talk about how awesome the maps are after Gold 1. Like, I want this to be an option we can toggle. I like this WAY more.

Can't wait for my Yellow to turn Red too. This looks fire
