So this has been weighing on my mind heavily for a long time now. The mission intro is so often being synchronized quite terribly. Sometimes I hear the intro narration while the map is still loading, sometimes it starts in the middle of the video, sometimes it isn’t being played at all, but 70% of the time it is playing into the actual mission time and gameplay has already started. This is highly annoying since the first push is actually one of the most important things in the game.
For example in Bridge, if the attacking Aura can rush the left side and put down a healing station in the left part of the market, the following team has the perfect position to fight for the EV and hold it, because the defense had absolutely no time to set up a proper postion yet.
I know this is not the first time this is being mentioned here, but I thought I’d create a stand-alone thread for this, because it is happening since the very start.
I would strongly recommend to check how often a player has played a certain map and after 5-10 times stop showing the intro.
