Anyone else?

It amuses me why they still have this map in rotation.

[meteorol]

Others quit as soon as Alpine Peaks is loaded.

Would be really cool if we could choose 1 map that the matchmaker doesn't drop us in. Alpine Peaks and Terra Therma would be played by half as many guys, but they would still be in game, because you can only choose one.

Personally, i hate alpine so much i have one finger on the alt key while another hovers over F4 as soon as i see this horrible abomination, this personal, inexcusable insult to any person who ever designed a map.
Still i never disconnected because i won't be an *sshole towards my team.
Neither did they design this obscenity, nor are they responsible for my deep, neverending hate towards this piece of... So i will play through it, give my best, while hating each second of it.

Did i mention i don't like Alpine Peaks?

Still, disconnecting is a no go in my opinion. Just plain unfair towards your teammates. Would you like it if 3 guys on your team disconnect on your favorit map because they don't like it?

[SoylentDaveage]

Terra Therma is not my favourite map, but its not my least favourite either. Caustic Valley wins that honour.

But I never drop from a match before I die.

[Faith McCarron]

Ticket Submitted. (ok, not really)

[Magna Canus]

You are screwing the rest of your team by doing this. I don't care how much you hate a map, this just sucks for the other 11 guys you are playing with.

[Rex Budman]

I play it, but am not amused.

[Jabilo]

To OP.

I feel for you brother I hate Terra Therma.

I resist the urge to quit as I do not like to disadvantage my team but I understand the sentiment and I have done it once or twice.

[King Arthur IV]

so this is why i get DC's in my matches..... leaving my team with one or two down the entire match.
and here i thought it was technical difficulties.

why is TT bad? i can understand if you are running a stock mech with single heat sinks but if you have a fully decked out mech its all about controlling your heat.

other then heat i will say this.

the map is full of choke points and no way to bypass certain areas for flanking because mountain rangers are too large.
the over all grey color of the map is a huge downer because everything blends into it.

ppl do this? Dint think we had the privlage to bail on maps we dont like

[Hawks]

Don't get why there's so much hate for Alpine. The Terra Therma hate I can sort of understand. What I can't understand is why more people don't complain about River City. That map is AWFUL now on assault. 24 mechs and turrets on a map the size of a postage stamp? Great idea. The instant you move a nanometer from your starting position you get spammed with LRMs, beams, the whole caboodle. It's basically turned into WWI trench warfare, and there's a reason why most video games aren't about WWI trench warfare.

That map needs to be either sorted or aborted IMVHO.

While I understand that people may not like some maps (I personally hate RC Night), intentionally DCing is childish and unsportsmanlike, and deserves to be sanctioned.

In RL, deserters are shot.... Which Is why somebody has probably reported the thread by now.

We don`t, and admitting to it in public is tearing open your shirt to reveal a large "If you want to, you can ban me now" sign.

Some people used to (No, I don`t think so) so that they`d automatically dc to mechlab on certain maps. This practice is also against the CoC and can (IMO should) result in sanctions for the same reason as manualls DCing should.

[151st Light Horse Regiment]

I find it funny that people claim this is against the rules? Since when can the devs FORCE me to play a certain map?

[Eglar]

I am fairly sure that intentionally quitting a match on a certain map violates the COD.

p.s. Easier way to do it

Nobody can FORCE you to do anything... but in turn, you can`t force them to sit back and watch you continue to do so if they don`t want to. Just as you can disconnect on a whim, they can lock your account for regularly doing so.

river city night assault and RC in general sucks

the terrain is horrible for moving because every little car, fence, lamp post, statue will stop you right in your tracks.

the turrets also make this tiny map a instant stand off.

Night... what a waste of a "video" game. i emphasis the visual aspect because it is nonexistent in night modes. i would totally well come day/night cycles but a full on night mode is not very appealing.

I think that's probably covered in the Code of Conduct...

Yeah I would avoid quitting out of a match unless you are lagging out, or the team is being unsporting such as not using communication or splitting off and not being part of a team effort. I've quit out a few times because I got that stupid terra map like 3 times in a row I decided to quit out. Not something you should do regularly and you deserve to get your account locked if you do this regularly you are simply wasting someone elses obviously more valuable time.

Honestly that last 3 times I played alpined I was pleasantry surprised at how well I did, I hate this map for it's size and how hilly it is, but anymore it's about finding that choke point or going up the freaking hill but thats with every map. The absolute worst is terra therma due to the punishing heat. Makes no sense the devs will never hear the end of their crappy map designs....lets be honest they all suck, they all lack imagination and originality. It's always super hilly with one center where everyone can snipe it out oh boy is that fun.

This game has a long way to go before it's considered past beta.

Players like you should be banned.

Oh yeah, that newish Death Star/Borg Cube map is pretty gash, too. I think it would be a perfect map for Unreal Tournament, strangely enough
