Man, when the MWO team delivers, they deliver! When they said get ready for something big coming, that was delayed a day, I expected something great, but nothing this awesome!

[Old Mechdonald]

it's wonderfully redoubtable....I like it a lot. How hot is it? What's the size?

I can see a Timber Wolf in the far distance, and no I am not talking about the catapult in plain sight.

Now that would have been a really Easter egg. Unfortunately, all I see are a Catapult and a Cicada.

This map looks like it will be good for brawling, plenty of opportunity for hit and run.. hopefully it doesn't turn into a 1.5 - 2 min stroll to the same place 90% of the time.

Please don't call it "Canyon".

Because I've been to Utah and most of the canyons, I don't mean the Grand Canyon, mind you... most canyon are MONSTEROUS in size. I couldn't compare this screenshot of the new map as Canyon at all. Otherwise it would be wrong impression of what "canyon" is.

I'd compare this as Desert version of Black Hills in North Dakota, or just call it Mesa, not Canyon.

Can you please use MSPaint to make a red circle at the area and reupload it to a pic upload page and give us the link?

I really stared at this thing for minutes now, but can't find it!

Thx in advance!

I see.a second mech way in the back center on a n overlook. I zoomed in really close and it looks like it has an underslumg arm and maybe a missile rack. Not sure though. Unless that is the cicada people are talking about it doeant look like a cicada to me zoomed in. The other mech is a catapult i know that.

If the sun gets eclipsed by that planet during matches, I'm genuinely impressed.

[AlexEss]

well with some good will you could "see" the timberwolf legrig on the "CdaWlf"... Then it is that weird blotch on the other side that could be something... beyond that i have no idea where people see a "wolf"

But... Yeah.... The buildup was... A bit lame... Unless we all missed something more substantial in that pic.

Not bad but it is a bit like that scene in the first transformers live action... when old man W takes his son to get a car and he pull up to a Porche dealership... And then pull on to a used car lot.

But... we already know this map:

Granted. The one made by an amateur for Living Legends is way bigger and way better. But still.

Small "Canyon"? Check
River? Check
Bridge? Check
Buildings on the Ridge of the Canyon? Check
Suspension Bridge? Check!

Way to go PGI.
If you keep getting this at this pace we might end up with a good Living Legends 2 in a few months! That would actually be a good thing!

I've looked at the second mech, and it looks like a Cicada to me. Here, I've resized Garth's twitter logo and put it next to it, and included a larger version for reference:

Go ahead and zoom in on it if you want. I can clearly make out the Cicada's double jointed legs and the torso profiles match. In addition, once compared to the re-sized image it looks like the Cicada's antennas are included as well.

So, looks like a Cicada - no clanners here (yet).

Great announcement!

OMG while we are at it lets not call alpine alpine because it not the alps and river city has a lake, we should call it lake city. Who gives a **** what its called.

How about Crayon? Brown Crayon.

The 24 hour delay was to put extra servers to the task of hosting this image file.

We apologize for the extra time it takes to find a match for the next couple days. We had to pull those servers from somewhere.

[Vasces Diablo]

So the big announcement was a screen shot of a map...

A map that we already knew about... and have already seen a screenshot of... that basically looks exactly like this one.

Great info and it's appreciated, but you guys need to hire someone (or someone new) to coordinate this stuff better. You looked like amateurs yesterday and that would have been forgotten if today's announcement would have been something of substance.

Especially a screenshot of a map that is a clone of a map every MW:LL player already knows.

Good thing they are using the Crytek engine. So they can just load all the MW:LL maps in their editor to take a "deep look" at them!

Here's a sneak peak at the new Canyon Map!

EDIT:

Removing my bitchiness because afterall, this is what I've been complaining about. This information was brought here by an official, and not just found by a random player.

So Bravo

its a cicada, you can see the wonky, knees. If it is going to pass for a clan mech, perhaps a Mad Dog. Definitely not a Timber Wolf.

This is a joke? That was the reveal, a map that was already teased before? What's the point in this?

Obviously guys it's neither a cicada or a timberwolf. It's just 38 pixels chilling.
