I think when a new map comes out it should show up more often for the first week or so.

I also think the river city night map should rotate less. At first I wanted a night map, then I got one. Now its my least favorite, and it I get sent there all the time.

I knew not what I asked for!

Have mercy!

I think I need to tweak my sentence above.

I think when a new map comes out it should show up more often for the first week or so. Unless it's a night map. Night maps should exist on paper. Paper that is burning in the fireplace.

Anyone else have a map that plagues them?

My group it is River City Night and Forest Colony. We can play those all night; with one or the other coming up 5 to 6 times in a row.

We only see Alpine about once in every 8 hours of play time.

It's funny you say that because Alpine was the threshold... like when they added that map there were too many other maps to actually have a chance of going to Alpine and so but, for the weekend event they turned it up big time! Not sure if that's 'cos they wanted people mixing up their loadouts to deal with Alpine (well I guess shisty people could always opt out of a particular map) or because there were about 50 threads full of responses wanting to see Alpine enough times to actually check it out...

And the good news is, pretty quick here you issues will be addressed! Not telling how

(least favorite, river city night.. but that does not mean I don't like it, a night map should be one of those opt in choicers because it does affect the way you play somewhat, all in good time!)

liked only 'cos it made me laugh... I want muh night versions of maps!

The problem isn't that River City Night is so bad...

The problem is that Night Vision is horrible and Thermal Vision is too good, but terribly ugly.

Give us a useful Night Vision, and do something to make Thermal Vision NOT the default vision mode for just about every map and River City Night might be more fun.

River City Night is my bain, I can't see crap on it due to my laptops monitor for whatever reason. Every other map is fine.

[Magik0012]

The precious hates River City Night (because of craptastic nightvision).. HATESSSS IT!

[WVAnonymous]

I used to get Frozen City night all the time, now I get Alpine all the time. I've started running YLWs and TBTs much more than Stalkers and Awesomes because I need the speed so frequently.

I hate City Night, for all the Vision reasons cited above.

[Maliconus]

I am to the point that If it were not for leaving my team a man short I would "rage quit" out of every River City Night game.

It is every other game for me and sometimes 2 in a row.

River city thermal needs to DIAF just for being ugly, the fact that i get a 10-16FPS drop in thermal on that map and no other is besides the point.

Least favorite map I'm not really a fan of forest colony snow. I don't know why but I just don't like the map. I still top the damage (Not a brag, that's my role. I do damage. I know that damage isn't reflective of player skill.) but I just don't enjoy the games on that map.

Most favorite, if I happen to drop onto RCNight in my A1 loaded with enough SRMS to blow a hole in the earth. And the heavy metal is loud enough. And my team globs together and runs into the enemy first. AND I'm able to sneak effectively enough to get right behind someone. That's a perfect match for me. Someone said A1s should be locked to alpine. Some of the cat drivers said that guy was crazy, I think he meant it in jest, but I would love to get the cat onto alpine.

Try this one on for size. I stopped driving the CAT-A1 6SRM6 build because it didn't get Alpine enough. I was trying to learn whether it was possible to be a powerhouse on a big map with it, but it wouldn't come up in the rotation.

Because military actions never occur at night?

Possible???
Between the spread out teams, tunnelvissionsnipers and the deceptive amount of cover its down right easy!






One thing, never play MWO while listening to music, I bet 90% of my one shot kills would not have happened if the other player was listening for footsteps instead of blowing their eardrums out with metalica.

River City Night. Big surprise.

But it could so easily be my favorite with only a few small changes. If there were some ambient light; if things on fire cast light; if I had floodlights on my mech; if lasers and explosions cast more light; if the resource collectors and bases had some light... See a theme here?

The dark in RCN is just so damn heavy.

Laser battles on the water can be gorgeous. Pity I'm basically forced to use Thermal vision all the time.

[CMDR Sunset Shimmer]

since patch, I've played alpine 3 times.

I get river city night and frozen city WAY TO DAMN OFTEN!

[Ranek Blackstone]

I get river city a bit more often then I'd like. RCN is something of a bane for my group. FCN though isn't really a night map at all. it's just FC with out the snowstorms and a black sky box.

Alpine is something I'm coming to have mixed feelings about. Love the size, just wish it had more cover for my poor little mid range brawler.

[mekabuser]

I f i knew the MM would fill my spot for my team I would DC every time rcn comes up.. the thing is.. rcn .. should be GREAT>>. but its not for all the known reasons..

Everything about it is just wrong.. Blazing fires that dont illuminate crap 1 foot away.. a nice glow in the sky? pitch black buildings.. its just so bad.
Its the anti planetside 2 night mode.

[KnowBuddy]

Yes, it's trouble. Right there in River City. With a capital T.
