Like it or hate it? ("It LAGS too much" is not a valid excuse, I have a 733mgz processor with like 256mb ram and a DSL connection, lag shouldn't be a factor in making a decision like this)
I personally like it. I like the orginal way better then TS. The fact that you can hide C4 under snow is really cool, and the flying ability is neat, especially how you're inside a huge iceburg.

It'd be a great map if there weren't so many bugs.
The C4 snow isn't a nifty trick, it's a bug and it's actually really annoying at times.
The GDI FPS bug is just horrible. Saying it lags too much is definitely a valid excuse for Glacier.

The layout is great, lots of tactics available, but the glitches ruin it.

The drive from the WF to the Nod entrance between the PP and ref is cool. The repair strips are worthless, but it is a good layout.

It's a good map but the glitches ruin it. Running through a tunnel and suddenly tripping 5 or 6 mines that you didn't see...and were supposed to...is crap. It could change the course of the entire game session. Say you were a tech/hotwire, seen the mines as proper, disarmed them then went and blew up an enemy structure?
I don't mind too much the other things, like the mines being 'magnetically' attracted to the repair beam in the middle of the map. There have been loads of discussions on the FPS (frames per second) rate on glacier_flying and many have FPS problems on that map specifically.

Glacier TS is better, only a pity there's no flying there.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

glacier_flying is a cool map in like 2v2, 3v3.. When you get much bigger the fps lag for me alteast is pretty bad. And any new maps that someone creats doesnt have shit on the maps that came with the game and the update..

oh and the bug where if your orca/apachee is flying as high as possible and you blow up, you get stuck on the top of the map. If you have a soldier with no c4, we might have a problem (because.. ya know.. soldier + orca is a leet combo)

I concur, even if you die in your copter you can begin shooting with a soldier often killing them in an instant
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

So what if you can't disarm them, there's stragities you can use to get around that.

Yes, or what if you feel the need to evacuate your helicopter, you can always pull out your soldier-parachute.

 You cannot activate them in laddered games because they are not in the game at all.
