Recolor one of the snow maps to look like sand, boom map drop incoming.

[Ryllen Kriel]

I want an underwater map with sea currents that decrease/increase speed, have interesting aquatic wildlife swimming by and the water gives a unique cooling bonus. A map in space on the hull of a ship would also be great, jumpjets disabled in favour of magnetic boots. Perhaps the space battle could be between two ships with a goal for the mechwarrior of destroying the reactor while turrets exchanged broadsides that the players had to avoid. I would love to see an otherworldly methane based geology like Titan with a thick orange haze and sections of soft boggy ground that mechwarriors would have to keep moving in or their machines might slowly sink and lose mobility. How about a windswept Martian type world with the occasional giant dust storm that would scramble sensors if not avoided? And we could always use another urban combat map, but without a no-man's land in the middle like River City has. Perhaps have a mission to protect a drop ship as it preps civilians for evacuation at a space port. I know it's easy for me to ramble out ideas but PGI is completely capable of pulling this stuff off, they have the talent!

More maps, please...

Another game mode would be nice... there has got to be a way of pulling a good Capture the Flag off with all these maps existing. Maybe a new game mode would freshen up the existing maps for a while.

Oh GOD yes this game needs new maps in large volumes.

The same few maps being picked over and over is really old and boring. No matter how many new mechs we get, its always the same gameplay..

It doesn't matter what the new mech's cockpit looks like, its always the same.. I can use any mech of the same weight class to replace any new mech that comes out, they are all very similar. The differences are minor.

But always the same maps. Don't matter am I in an Atlas, a Kodiak, or an Executioner, HPG is always just as sucky.

So please.. new maps.. lots of them..

More maps?

Heck, this game needs to be made more CW-centric, have both a galactic and planetary campaign system, extensive selection of scenarios (i.e. game modes), and all played out in a wide collection of map types.

But of course PGI seems to be just capable of, and a large chunk of the playerbase only wants, a "Theme Park" arena shooter. <smh>

I actually wouldn't mind if they went through and just changed the whether for some maps to add variety. I of course would like some true new maps but something like old Forest Colony Snow wouldn't be bad. For those that weren't here forest colony snow was the old forest colony but it was colder and there was a snow bank that some what blocked one of the paths. Made the map a bit different without much work. If they did that for all the maps we could get some quick variety.

Having things that change the paths a bit, or looks of the maps would be nice but even if it was just a temperature change it would add some. Like HPG dark side (really cold) HPG sun side (really hot) HPG twilight (medium). Or one I always wanted was Terra Therma Snow where right by the Lava its really hot but in the other spots its cold and theres actually snow on the ground. If they did that to Terra Therma and opened up the center a bit we could see a bit different gameplay, I think that would have been good for the map update.

And these wouldn't have to be listed as completely different maps. It could just work more like the time of day system except not dynamic during the match (except for maybe HPG, that would be kind of cool if it did a rapid change during the match).

so we have a lack of maps as it is, and now they have done a almost a completely revamp for terra therma.

IDK why not just leave terra therma alone and introduce this new map without taking one away?

I wonder how different the new version actually is. I believe I read that the center caldera has been moved, etc.

[Kotzi]

Well if the revamped maps are totally different, why do we take the old one out?

i know right. PGI seems to have this limit on the number of maps we can have in the game, why not have 2 versions of terra therma?

[DAYLEET]

If you want more map, start by removing the voting system. Boom, 50% more maps with minimal effort.

[JediPanther]

Only having six maps is great for a game from 2012. If only pgi would put the game on steam then we could use the work shop to make our own maps.

I would be more than happy, if I would just get Frozen City back as a Classic version.
At the end of the day its not the map that matters, but the gameplay that comes with it.

They just need to keep the New AND Bring the Old map back!

Please create a Giant Metropolis Map like NY. And Create a Dark Underground Tunnel Map.

At this point, PGI making new maps is pointless.

Now don't get me wrong, I really REALLY want new maps...BUT the community is soo up it's own damn butt over the maps, that it wouldn't matter if we got new maps.

The same like, 4 maps continually get picked: Alpine, Frozen,Polar, HPG, ... 3 of those are picked because of cold [so no heat management required]. all are picked due to sightlines, and HPG tends to get picked because it can encourage brawling in the right circumstances.

Every now and then the selection extends to 6 with Crimsion and Grim making up the last two for a little variation.

But I swear to BLAKE, that I've had my computer screen white out more offten with this game than any other because I'm constantly getting dropped on the crap, can barely see snow maps!

Over half of the gameplay is picked because of cold climate... having 1 or 2 of these maps is fine, and adds a little variety, but the hotter maps NEED to be weighted higher, because otherwise we're simply allowing the playerbase to crutch themselves constantly.

Honestly, until they remove, or entirely rework map voting, there's no point in new maps, because they'll barely get played a week after they release anyway... just look at Escort mode... it rarely comes up anymore.

The like-new maps are so amazing that people are still finding cool features or "easter eggs" that they never noticed before. A teammate just noticed the pretty glowing flowers and fireflies on new bog the other day. It was a great moment.

and that's just sad... MWO has some great maps, but the "Elite" have deemed them "Crap" so they never get played.

I'm just sad so much get's pushed aside just because cold = "better"

[Wildstreak]

Real easy to complain about not having new stuff.
Better to work to improve what we have instead of just wanting more bad quality.
The Magic Rocks of Grim Plexus are one of several examples.
Magically disappearing terrain another.

[Shiroi Tsuki]

Need a map in a dense urban environment or some crazy *** map where you're fighting inside a space station. Dude that would be sick af.
Also there needs to be more variety in gravity levels

[TheArisen]

An urban ruin type map would be epic.

Also I'd like them to do more maps like Plexus, take a FW map and make it a QP map.

[BLOOD WOLF]

A new map would be cool. I expect one march probably. Would be nice to see one next patch

They could start by fixing polar by putting a bunch of tall structures around the map.
