I like it myself. Give night fighting skills and night vision a good workout.

[Walice]

I hate it. it would be ok if it were a valley map but the city map make everything a pain to navigate.

Your personal opinion is irrelevant to the opinion of the community. There is no major hatred or disapproval towards River City Night. It will not be removed.

I'm laying odds and taking bets, this will be the most one-sided poll in the history of the forums lol

This may even outdo the 3pv poll results! Any takers???

[Mcchuggernaut]

Wow. Just...wow. So, the only difference between river city and river city night is it's, well, night. That means you don't like the dark, I take it?

I didnt' even consider that part of it. So is it jsut the "night" portion that isn't liked or the whole map itself.

I've seen a few players with vision related conditions complain about the night and thermal vision modes so that one I could MAYBE understand but why suggest just the night time version of a map be removed while leaving its daytime counterpart?

[Sougard]

River City Night is one of the main reasons why I quit playing assault mode.

Most games on it go like this. Because of 750m vision range nobody wants to blunder into an ambush, so upper team goes upper, lower team goes lower, caprace. Those who try to return and stall caps get quickly destroyed by focused fire, and the game outcome is determined by which team has more capture accelerators.

Still fun in conquest, so voted no.

[anonymous161]

I voted yes because honestly I dont like the thermo or night vision modes, just makes everything blurry and ugly, takes away the splendor of the visuals. I prefer just regular conditions, and not having to be forced into akward vision modes that I never even used in the older games.

The map itself is fine, I just dont like the alternate vision modes thats all.

The worst map in my opinion is what I call the magma level. I just dont like that one at all, it's pure luck if you are not using a heat heavy mech at the time and it's no fun for slow mechs.

That's a totally different issue though. I wonder if they've come up with some alternatives because I know some color blind players are screwed sometimes

Map may have its issues but removal is completely unjustifiable.

Besides, removing it would (insert creeping feeling of dooooom) increase the odds of getting Mordor-ahem-Terra Therma in a match. I am yet to find a fan of that map (though the hate isn't universal), why do you want to inflict it on more people???

I like therma It's simple to play on but REALLY hard to master. You have a lot of options as to where you hold the fight, what kind of strategy you use, etc. PLUS? It irritates the HECK out of alpha strikers

You should check out the first link in my signature if you think asking to remove one map is bad lol There's a looooooooooooooooooooong list of things people are asking to be removed from the game

[Mavairo]

I love Terra Therma. Especially in my 5N Dragon hehe. Everyone else is overheating, and it just keeps right on at a steady clip.

And the map is large enough that speed matters

River City night should stay though. I love night fighting, and city fighting. We need more of both.

[Marmon Rzohr]

Hell no. Forest Colony and Canyon Network, River City are MWO's most exciting maps IMHO. Lots of cover, just the right size, the maps reward good positioning and thinking ahead on a minute-to-minute basis.

These maps have the most exciting brawling and consequently the most clutch and difficult sniping. Night time in River City only makes the map more chaotic and interesting.

The night in River City and the huge extra heat in some parts of Therra Therma are actually the only map elements that provide unique conditions pilots need to adapt to. We need more of that

[Urdasein]

River city is my prefered map.

Because it small: dont have to walk that much beetween caps. You still have a lot of cover...

People i know who hate that map are light pilots that play objective .

[80sGlamRockSensation David Bowie]

RCN is bad for two reasons.

One being RC in general is a terrible map in terms of size and map layout.
The second is the lightning in general makes zero sense at all, and doesn't make sense (why is it brighter further away than point blank? Why is there no ambient light being given off by all the city lights and fire?!)

Should it be removed? Nah

Should it be reworked significantly? Hells yes.

[GalaxyBluestar]

N Key is your friend learn to use it and learn to play at night, it's the only military-esque aspect this game has as far as operational conditions are concerned.

people of skill can handle it, just like terra therma, the only problem with that map is players always going for the center even though it's choke points of doom. but it's worse to go flanking on your own so you have to hold peoples hands and pay the price for it, a sacrifice can keep people alive enough to win sometimes. yes you have many sacrifices at mtdoom.

so yeah don't get rid of a map because it's beyond comprehension and skills of a few players, they need to learn that teams will not always meatshield for them so they can pick off enemies in the back.
