My new favorite map, but in nearly 8 hours of gaming, I've only gotten to play the map 4 times so far.

Why is it so rare? It can't just be bad luck at this point.

Alpine is a map that really shows why stock builds have long range weapons like LRMs, medium range weapons like an AC/10 or large lasers, and short range weapons in one build. Teams who tear out all of the long range weapons and have pure short range builds are getting beaten by the more balanced load outs.

Alpine really lets a balanced lance shine.

Best map yet! Great job devs, and I can't wait for desert!

Just stay in an a pure short-range Atlas all night. You'll find Alpine popping up more and more.

The community is starving for new maps and Alpine appears like 1 in 20? It needs to be changed for sure.

Okay, talk about irony. I made this post and then played Alpine three time in a row!

I sure hope I didn't expend all of my chances for the week in that one shot!
