I've never seen so much complaining over a new map.

I'm so confused

It's because many of us were maybe expecting a CW announcement or the like...that big feature that many of us I believe have been looking forward to. Not an extra planet and/or moon added to a screenshot we already had

[TheUnderking]

Does it come with a General Discussion forum?

[Syllogy]

Does your computer come with a jetpack?

<Insert generic comment about how I'd rather have CW phase 1 or Clan mechs here>

No really though, can't wait to try out the new map.

The &quot;big announcement&quot; is a pic that we already saw (same angle):

Wait a second....

On the top of the ridge (to the right of the rock) is a heavy transport vehicle. In the new pic, something has clearly been loaded onto it.

I think I just busted this case wide open.

Man, PGI certainly pulled out all the stops on this "exclusive reveal"! Playing for keeps, they are; as Yoda would say.

That's just a watchtower connected to what I presume to be an outpost. There's a vehicle in front of it, a truck likely, but nothing's being loaded into it.

This is an "airplane". Therefore, anything that does not look like this and measure the same dimensions is not an "airplane."

My father worked at Lockheed and he emphatically stated that there was no other passenger jet other than the L-1011. That is clearly not an L-1011 and thus is not an airplane...

Oooh, a new map!
*looks at screenshot*
I see some...washed out sky, maybe a moon in the background...then some brown/tan dirt for the ground, with some grey rocks for variety. Add some leafless trees, maybe a small grey river, and we're done! This map will nicely complement the dull green colors most 'mechs are painted!

But in all seriousness, when are we going to see some maps that have some actual color varieties? I'm hoping volcano will actually have some lava, so that the most colorful thing on the map won't just be the extractor's flames.

Despite the...interesting color pallete, great job on the map, which is a very great deal better then I would/could have done.

This? : )

That's right, they're (PGI) calling it Canyon Map, so will I. Seriously, people are going to argue over whether it's a Canyon or Mesa or Ravine? My gods people, I'm thinking Valium or Prozac should be added to you're diets.

As I said earlier. When they are just arguing the name of it, its obviously a success. If I were PGI I would leave the name as is just to P I S S these people off, friggin nit picking babies.

1. Palisades was one of the worse maps for MW:LL. Why? BEcause everyone was out on the ridges sniping or Arrow IVing, LRMing.
Oh... does that remind you of the MW:O gameplay?

So guess what is going to happen on the MW:O Canyons copy of MW:LL Palisades?

2. It looks washed out like hell. Has anyone of PGI ever left his office and saw how saturated the real world is?

3. The mountain with its different completely flat height lines looks 1000000000% artificial.

4. What the hell is that bright dark brown thingy in the front plane?

5. Mech sized Mud Cracks. Nice

6. Can you say: Blurry as hell skybox?

7. Can you say: HOT MAP AGAIN!?

I really do not know what is good about the map except that it is a new map that will end our turmafail desert odyssey.

How in the hell do you know it is going to be a hot map? Really, tell me. We dont even know if that is liquid water, it could be liquid methane.

You dont know what atmospheric conditions exist to create that geometry, you are using earth atmosphere and climate as your basis for saying the mountains look flat on top. For all we know the wind erosion at that altitude wears rocks down. Its a sci fi game for cripe sake man, lighten up a little.

This map looks like PGI's attempt to keep PPC's viable. I see long range to be the way to go on the map. SRMs... Medium Lasers... AC/20s.... worthless?


THANKS PGI...

We dont know all the routes of the map. There could be cover and concealment we don't see. There is a lot of conclusion jumping lately, the half empty crowd must be getting off work early.

I use all those weapons on alpine peaks and tourmaline all the time. Stop your damn whining. And I do a damn good job.

Did ~800 damage in my ML cicada on tourmaline yesterday.

He is probably FOTM running PPCs jump snipers anyway, so the irony is laughable I am sure. The lemmings always flock to a tactic they cant counter and then it becomes the FOTM and thus OP.

I am so sick of Cap games. The Devs need to release a deathmatch mode already. Just take those dumb basecap points off the map, or put just ONE cap point in the center of the map. Doesnt take a million staff meetings and discussions. Three lances wont fix stupid, uninspired, basecap gameplay. Believe it or not, but i equip guns on my mech to shoot at things, not to look pretty while i stand in a glowing green circle 'winning' the match.

Obviously, the Devs dont read or care about this issue, but id just like to be the next guy to lodge this complaint. Im just shocked they havent done this yet. Its not like ppl are falling over themselves to say how much they love these gamemodes.

So Boo for your next map with no deathmatch shoot-em-up mode. Try doin something people are actually asking for.
