Does anyone else feel like Mixtape maps in Apex Legends would play better if they were actually designed for respawn modes instead of using sections of BR POIs?
The modes (Control, TDM, Gun Run) are fun, but a lot of fights feel like the map itself wasn’t really built for constant respawn-style combat. Spawns can feel awkward, some areas are way too strong depending on positioning, and fights often swing between chaotic or one-sided depending on the POI.
It kind of reminds me of how different things felt in Arenas, where maps were actually designed specifically for structured PvP. Those layouts felt more intentional and readable compared to adapting BR spaces for nonstop fights.
I’m wondering if even a few small, purpose-built Mixtape maps would improve flow and consistency, or if most people actually prefer the current POI-based chaos.
Curious what others think.
