Shroud explains why new Apex Legends map has him worried for battle royale Twitch: Shroud \/ Respawn EntertainmentMichael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek has been sinking his teeth into the new Apex Legends map, Storm Point, and has already found a major problem \u2014 one the star Twitch streamer thinks could hurt the long-term future of the battle royale. Last week, Respawn added a fourth Apex Legends map \u2014 \u201cStorm Point\u201d \u2014 to their flagship battle royale, and the tropical paradise has already been a popular release. Players and streamers alike have given it a big tick, especially its new NPC enemies scattered around the battleground and, as NICKERMCS said on November 2, the map\u2019s move to stop so many \u2018third parties.\u2019 There are some, however, that aren\u2019t as convinced Storm Point is a step in the right direction. According to Shroud, the new map raises some big concerns. In particular, Storm Point\u2019s massive size increase over World\u2019s Edge and Olympus has the Twitch star worried, as does how Respawn designed the map elements. Shroud has been playing Apex Legends frequently since the Season 11 update, getting to know the CAR SMG (spoilers, he\u2019s not a fan) and the Storm Point map. Like his take on the season\u2019s submachine gun, Twitch\u2019s human aimbot is less than impressed with Respawn\u2019s latest map release. That\u2019s not to say it\u2019s a personal dislike. Instead, Shroud said during a Nov. 8 stream, he\u2019s worried about all the decisions that went into building Apex\u2019s tropical battlefield. His first concern is the map fails its main objective. \u201cThis map was made to have less third parties?\u201d Shroud said. \u201cI mean it\u2019s a pretty big map, but I think it depends where you land. Like, you still get constantly third partied if you jump [in certain spots on the map], every time.\u201d The other problem, he said, is if you avoid third party spots you will never see anyone until late: \u201cIt\u2019s f**king big. You go to the end, you\u2019ll see nobody.\u201d Then there\u2019s Shroud\u2019s second worry. While playing Storm Point, he raised concerns about the way Respawn actually built smaller POIs on the Apex Legends map. As he played through the Gaea map, he found several places where he simply couldn\u2019t access. Shroud claims that is a \u201creally bad\u201d way to design the game. If Respawn continues on this path, he said, it could change the game entirely. \u201cThere just aren\u2019t that many movement spots,\u201d Shroud said. \u201cI feel like it\u2019s [Apex] becoming character-advantage, right? Like that Pathfinder got up that building because he used his \u201cQ\u201d. I have no way to get up. There\u2019s no way to get up, so it\u2019s character-diff, so you\u2019re just running around looking. \u201cThere\u2019s lots of ways legends can get to certain spots,\u201d he continued, \u201cbut you have to choose them, and [if they don\u2019t] players will struggle with these layouts.\u201d Shroud may sound a little down on the new map, but the human aimbot\u2019s concerns over Apex Legends come from a place of love \u2014 star Twitch streamer has been vocal about Respawn\u2019s title being his \u201cfavorite battle royale.\u201d Read More: EA wants more Apex Legends content updates – One star that doesn\u2019t agree with Shroud is NICKMERCS; the Twitch star dubbed Storm Point \u201cstraight fire,\u201d mainly due to the tropic island\u2019s massive size.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
