[2020] House rework

I know some will not agree, but this is r6. So please don't ruin it.

House is already prepped and set to be released Y5S2. I don't think the team will want to scrap all that hard work they've put into it it. I've personally seen the new House, and it's awesome. It's been updated to make it more balanced, while still maintaining the original House feel. Players who love House in its current state are going to love the updated version.

They're still around! I've been keeping track of them all. I think it's natural to have a negative reaction to the House rework, especially since the map was a fan favorite. I've seen people ask why it was touched in the first place which is a valid question, however, the beta took place on that House. That was five years ago and Siege has evolved in such a way to where that version of the map was fundamentally and structurally broken by today's standards, and that comes from the people who designed it.

I've been playing Siege since beta like a lot of our community, and I think this new version fits a lot better with how the game is now, but I do share the same love our players have for the original design.

What was it that you miss about old house?

Originally posted by 'Ello Bruhv'na: what i miss about old house was the layout and basically it was also the first map i played so kinda personal preference and also you take away what most players know about the layout and redisigned it. it is cool that you finished building it, if this isnt a bot im speaking too. i also never had issues with spawn-peeking. and if this is a real person, tell ubisoft that they suck at making games (division 2)

Not a bot! I passed my last Turing test :P

I definitely think that there's some feelings of nostalgia that come into play whenever we change any map, so the frustration that comes along with that is completely understandable. Are there any elements of the new map in particular you disliked? Are there any points of pain that come into play when you're either attacking or defending or ways you feel like things could have been reworked in a different manner? I do really like hearing insights on map remakes in particular because the remakes can be very polarizing and the feedback around our changes can be informative.

Ah, but did you pass the Voight-Kampff test?

Look, I don't see a need to get too specific here. However, if you're asking if I dream of electric sheep, the answer is no.
