It occurred to me that there were a few underground maps in MW3 that made for an interesting battle scenario. I think some close quarters cave maps could bring some interesting dynamics to battle. Imagine a light scout gets discovered by an Assault one-on-one. Within the environment let's say there are some tight areas in the cave that will allow a light Mech like a Raven to pass, but are too small for something like an Atlas to pass. Take this a step further and add multi-level play within a cave setting with holes and drop-offs blind curves etc. I think it would make for a fun battle environment.

Interesting idea. Could be a fun and unique experience. Just as long as the majority of maps are "normal" outside maps having one or two like this might be a worthwhile addition.

So.....Mechwarrior isn't life? The two are separate entities? O.o

And I would love to see caves and maybe somehow an underwater map possibly? Even though that underwater is not at all possible, its a magical wish.

Underwater is a death sentence as is.

Thats not a cave, its a steiner living room.
You cant see the couch, the wall tapestries and giant LCD tv because the lights are turned off.

tunnels, Caves even underwater all would be awesome, and there could be some of these that link more open hilly areas

Typical Steiner arrogance to park their scout mechs in the living room. It will ruin the carpet.

There are FOUR lights!

Sorry, wrong IP...

[ENDMYSUFFERING]

Yeah, I really like Thunderrift in MW:LL too. It was an interesting environment and it gave smaller 'mechs more of a reason to be on the battlefield.

I think those are some of those super expensive versions of normal anti-insect lamps for richies.

Don't use the LRM's!

It's been mentioned by the devs that they intend to have map variety to allow for varied tactics. Even a statement that their main test map has (iirc) an open beach with long sight lines, small lake, rolling hills, and the pictured cave.
