Ever wonder what Kentucky Tango & Elation’s baby would look like? Well, Recalcitrance, of course. Cosmic’s latest forgery is an impressive amalgam of looming, symmetric geometry and an intricate defensive base that shouts “EPIC” right from the get-go. The large, elevated D base somewhat resembles a giant spider. But do not mistake this for an aesthetic map, though it is a beauty. The means from which a player may siege the base are varied and unique. Sneak up through the tunnels into the pool, launch a surprise attack up the grav lift legs, storm right in the front up the large staircase, or improvise with the deployable grav lift.
A host of tactical jumps and great lines of sight, as well as the strategic short-port (a quick teleporter transport from one default Foundry base to another) balance the ground floor very well with the elevated base. The Sniper Rifles and Active Camo spawn present Attackers with the necessary tools to successfully siege the sometimes intimidating defensive base. One Bomb on Recalcitrance is one of the map’s best gametypes, and leaves players constantly thirsting for more. Recalcitrance also works well with Land Grab, One Flag, KotH, and the casual but oh so fun, Mongoose Snipers. That’s right, partner up on a ‘goose and set it to Sniper starts... madness will ensue. Enjoy Hubbers!
