Oh yay; *another* long range sniper map...

Better than a craptarded tiny map of which we already have more of.

I refuse to call this a map cause it is not a flat piece of paper but a 3D Landscape!

Ok, ok.. I think I have a name that will make everyone happy.. "The Super Happy Magical Fun Time Proto-canyon Riverbed Ravine with Mesa-like Structures 3D Landscape". Does that work for you, Nacon?

I know it's hard not to get our collective hopes up, but Bryan in the q&a yesterday said:

Q(M_A_L_I_C_E): Will you continue to make pre-announcement announcements that you are announcing an announcement in the future?
Bryan Ekman: Why of course. And then we'll unannounced the pre-announcement.
In all seriousness, it was just a small scheduling glitch. No big deal, and not a huge"announcement".

Bummer? Sure. But it is a look at the finished and soon to be released map. So not such a bummer afterall.

You know what, it actually looks more like a maurader then a cicada to me... surprised noone even considered the possibility of a maurader though....

I dont see a canon mounted on the head though. The Marauders large gun on its head/Torso would protrude far out.

Anychance for true HD textures ? and more ground clutter ?

or are u saving that for DX11 ?

First world problems going on here... The game needs more actual content before it needs Dx11...

But anyways! Word of advice for you guys at PGI.. don't use the words 'exclusive', and 'reveal' in the same sentence anymore, unless you plan on posting a screenshot of some Clan mechs or community warfare interface.. Or really, just any sort of content that we don't already know about, such as this map.

Looks like it'll be a fun map though.

another map made for poptards? i guess its time to remove the brawlers from the mech lab

[James Montana]

I think the mech in the distance is a Flea.

[Rush2112]

Look's great! Can't wait to play in it!

[101011]

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.

I saw the start of your post and thought you were going to be referring to all the people complaining on the internet that an announcement about a video game wasn't as big of an announcement as they anticipated.

After all the hype about that still unreleased joystick I am not sure that PGI understands what a 'huge' announcement is.

[Timuroslav]

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

I'm so confused

[Tekadept]

Ok I have figured it out.. This is a big EXCLUSIVE,but only to their "Target demographic".... We here on the forums have already seen screenshots of this map that were posted on the forums, however their "Target demographic" obviously don't visit the forums, but fawn over MWO's Facebook and Twitter, so this is for them, not us. Even factoring that in, this really isn't something that deserved all the hype.

Oh, wait until they make it the top-freqency map for a month. Then you will see WAY more complaining about the map.

[SweetWarmIce]

Looks great. Probably couldn't hurt to re-evaluate the definition of "big announcement" though.

[Anthrax12]

Looks hot

[LockeJaw]

Please tell me this isn't the "Big Announcement". B/c this got leaked by Bryan (?) a week ago on twitter.
