Polis Massa -> Noveria

by Aaron Gilbert

The Problem

Player pathing is too linear

CPs 1 and 6 become pointless and mostly unused once the other CPs are capped

Units quickly die if they go outside, unless in a vehicle

Not enough vehicle variety to warrant branching out to outside paths

The Solution

Change map setting to a compound in a snowfield on Noveria

Make outside area suitable for infantry combat

Remove damage region

Reshape terrain

Add cover props

Add a CP

Also retain possibility of vehicle combat
