[QUOTE="Admin, post: 59193, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2']Modern Warfare 2’s[/URL] border crossing map Santa Sena has caused a lot of frustration for fans and developer Infinity Ward has finally responded to the feedback. Speaking to [URL='https://www.dexerto.com/call-of-duty/modern-warfare-2-devs-address-backlash-to-santa-sena-border-crossing-map-we-do-our-best-2145930/']Dexerto[/URL], multiplayer design director Geoff Smith explained that Infinity Ward didn't necessarily aim to create a perfectly balanced map with Santa Sena, but instead just wanted something fun. “Map-wise, we try to have a balance between experiential maps and the more competitive maps,” he said. “Not all of them are super sweaty, balanced ones. There’s ones where ‘hey, it’d be really cool to fight over a border crossing.’” The map was criticised due to its narrow layout but also because of the bumper-to-bumper traffic. All of the cars are also destructible, meaning they can unexpectedly explode at any given moment. According to Smith, it was supposed to channel one of my favourite films – [URL='https://www.ign.com/movies/sicario']Sicario[/URL]. “I know that map’s not super popular in certain groups, but we like to keep it fun and it’s really neat to move through those cars, channelling Sicario,” he said. “So, we try to keep it fun and switch it up, but there’s a balance.” Smith continued: “You know, our user base is so huge.
