I forgot about Backwash, too bad, it's a really fun map.

For the 360, M$ cheaped out on the emulator, and the framerate drops more than my grade average has over the past year on Backwash. Not really so much just walking around and stuff, but if someone picks up the active camo, the framerate drops.

Indeed.

The framerate clashes with the active camo, resulting in some awful lagzory for 360s.

It ain't easy bein' green.

Also, your question has already been answered. Some suggest just taking the active camo off, but even in firefights, the framerate goes to crap.

Nope. I can't be banned - I wrote the code for the site.

also people complained about not being able to see anything because of the fog, so this in addition to the framerate drop got backwash booted from mm.

gemini is pretty much only in team slayer, and i dont think it is in any other playlist.

I personally love the fog.
And Gemini is also in rumble pit, I really like that level because of the doors...

Ya, it doesn't actually slow down. Never did for me. People just didn't want to see it, I thought it was a great map, Team Slayer was always fun on it.
