Why the dotted map though? Don't you think it would work better if there were only start/finish and the middle was just empty space?
It was a direct Inspiration of Comet Dodging scheme, and I think the dots provide a sense of obstacle to maneuver around, plus the damage radius from the comet hitting the dots can push worms off. Although the dots aren't necessary for the scheme. though, I have played an open map with a couple of checkpoints and it works well too.
I have tried big map and super wide map of 696x10400 but it is not the same because the Armageddon becomes less concentrated and more divided. This results in less risk, excitement and reward. If however someone could be clever enough to make something that could work at a slightly bigger res than the standard one I am all for it.
Also the checkpoints are there to provide a sense of urgency to complete before finishing the map. Otherwise people could just fly over and under the map.
Thanks people for casting your excitement on this. I just want this to be perfect for everyone
