I don't think you "skip certain maps" so much as you won't load certain maps. My understanding is that you will show as disconnected and your mech will be locked into the match.

And your Match slot will show as empty and locked and if anyone figures out who you are you will get "**********" (a feminine spring cleansing wash and the bag it came in) hate mail for the rest of your life...

I for one think this is great map and don't mind playing it all day. For me it is the best balanced and accommodates most play styles well - something other maps like Alpine and Forest Colony don't do so well. It's also much less predictable - while heavies and assaults often follow similar routes, the options for the lights break things up and changes things considerably.

That being said, it does still seem to pop up more often than it should, and I would mind playing maps like Caustic more often (which I very rarely see) - I seem to get Tourmaline and Frozen City faaaaar more than the others.

Im just glad it isnt alpine. Id rather play RCN all day than drop on Alpine once.

I won't lie, I see it a lot. And it not my favourite map. Think my count is in the sixties and caustic is only 30...

What I find odd about Tourmaline desert is that either both drop zones are indistinguishable, or I have only landed on the one side.

Its a nice map but yes comes up way to often I'm getting it multiple times in a row tonight it was 3 times, there are bigger issues to fix but I hope this gets tweaked.

If you're dropping the same map a lot, there are two (three) options, as its based on the number of servers running the map. If you immediately drop, you may be re-loading the same server you just left (hence getting the same map).

Option 1: wait 1-3 minutes for different servers to become available.
Option 2: Reboot the game to "clear" your server queue.
Option 2.1: Drop your group and start a new group.

All of these things tend to change the batch of servers you hit over an evening.

Really.

Interesting...

I like tourmaline - lots of maneuver possibilities and engagement points.

I would like to think that it is in frequent rotation because there is so much stuff on it and they need to make sure it can stand up to abuse when they finally make the game a release. And give us 20 more maps......

It trips me out, I rarely get dropped in Tourmaline. I end up playing in Alpine more than anywhere else. It seems like 90% of matches I play in end up in the snow...lol

If I never play Alpine again, that would be fine with me. That map needs a LOT of work IMO.

Whole problem with alpine and river city and forest Conley now that I think of it caustic as well is that pgi puts crap in the middle of the map so which lots of times teams will go left or right and never hit each other, y is this the case I have no idea at all. Really think a lot of maps need an overhaul to improve on this issue unless they really want the whole cap warrior game taking place for the duration of this game.
