Hello everyone and welcome to another Star Wars Battlefront 2 Mod Map Gameplay! Today we go on a newer released map called Designated Days Chapter 3-6 Rathian Frontlines which is a continuation of the Designated Days series but this followed Chapter 3-5 The Ordean Forest. The largest pain in the (insert word here) is that these auto turrets are always targeting you first instead of AI units in the vicinity around you but this is part of the map which makes it more challenging. As everyone knows I enjoy the new custom sides which is always included in these maps made by RevanSithLord & Icemember. Below I will list the strengths & weaknesses I think this map has but PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE CRITICISMS, NOT COMPLAINTS!!!

STRENGTHS:
- Map does not crash whenever you load it up the first time
- Has a custom load screen which gives you a little background on the map.
- Custom Auto Turrets, Bases & Sides!
- Unique environment feel to the map since snowy maps are not really a thing anymore.
- CAMPAIGN!!!! These maps always have Campaign & Conquest in both eras which I always love!
- AI are evenly matched with weapons overall but the favor might tip to Rathians because of their Artillery Guns (auto turrets) they have.
- The objectives are clear and concise, I would know where to go even if there was no arrow pointing me to the next location.
- New Vehicle, Infantry and Weapon sounds, love the extra effort in this especially!
- Grenades are DEADLY & USEFUL against huge groups of AI crowding a command post, two grenades can take out the whole horde!
- This map as the rest of the Designated Days map always have creativity to them, I love modders who have creativity!
- This map is fun and is definitely a map I/you would like to play over and over again!

WEAKNESSES:
- AI fairly pathed but units still run into objects (e.g. auto turrets, walls, etc.) making them "stuck"
- Auto Turrets always target you first over your AI teammates
- Auto Turrets killing you in one or two shots MINIMUM!
- Localization Bugs which include floating pictures of the weapon you use in the middle of the screen.
- Though running duration is longer, it is still not long enough making you have to waste time with waiting for your sprint energy to come back (In Fake Console just put 0 in sprint energy usage for unlimited sprint to avoid this problem)
- The Riflemen unit requires you to CONTINUALLY click to shoot your weapon instead of hold your mouse button down to continue shooting.
- AI teammates can not help capture command posts, leaving you to do ALL command post capturing which makes this map time consuming to complete.
- Not enough cover to get behind so most likely you will be shot and killed by auto turrets and have to start your run through no mans land over again!
- NO VEHICLES!!!! You must run everywhere to get to where you need to go. I would not mind that but in this case it is a fairly long running distance to certain objectives!
- Spawns are FAR AWAY from CP's you spawn at!!!! This means you spawn way in back or way in front of the command post making you need to do more running which quickly runs out and leaves you waiting for a sprint recharge!

As RevanSithLord/Icemember said in their explanation on ModDB: This is technically part of chapter 3 (well, it takes place during the events of chapter 3), but Icemember wanted a special winter release sometime ago. I am still working on chapter 2. There will be some jumps between chapters/episodes. This is a battle where the Rathians send a massive armored counter-attack against Republic forces entrenched in a treeline. With that said, if you would like to download this Designated Days map, add it to your series and want another map to add to your mod/map collection of the series to see what happens next then you came to the right description because below this has the download link that you can click on and download!
