I have to congratulate PGI map designers on making this marvelous color pallet change.

I never thought greenish grey could look so bad.

P.S. I'm not slow to catch up, I just don't play as often anymore.

Each to their own, but personally, I love the new look. It's like fighting in a chemical soup, and for me, the atmosphere truly matches the brief now. I can almost feel the paint peeling off my mech.

[Syllogy]

So you have a problem with the color pallet?

Are you sure that its a problem with the map, and that you don't need to calibrate your monitor?

I, and almost everyone Ive talked to, love the new map changes for caustic.

But more importantly, could you ***** some more about such a tiny little thing? Disgusting.

Since they specifically announced the rework on that map, it's not such a tiny little thing. Do I smell fanboism?

It actually looks better, than just a simple "desert map". It's still the same map though.

I like the way caustic looks now. I think a much thicker blanket of fog on the water that messed with sensors and reduced visibility would be a nice touch too, keep the map from turning into a sniper fight across the caldera as it so often does.

It's just that my eyes began to burn the moment it loaded. Guess it's time to tone down that contrast.

Yea, I like the Caustic change. I support it.

I actually like it better now...to each his own.

"Gj, Caustic Looks Crap Now"

Are you out of your cotton picking mind..??? Either you didn't notice the change in draw distance, how much more clear and crisp evrything is, or you are just ignorant.

I do not have one friend that hates the change, they all like the crisp look, as a matter of fact I haven't talked to a single person that did not like the change..

You have issues..

[Lucky 7]

Hahaha yeah to each his own.. I for one really like it and all I can remember that have spoken about it do as well.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. But I will say that Caustic looks much better now in my opinion. I think the fog covering really makes the map, and honestly changes the dynamics of it. It's a much more enjoyable drop now - for most, anyways. I'm just sorry you can't enjoy it as much as I am, man.

You're a fanboi, my issues ain't even to the knees of yours.

what does this even mean? What is wrong with you people?

The internet has ruined humanity.

I don't know about "looking better" - it looks like crap lol - but I like the change in the sense of it feeling right for the map.

Some maps are great for sniping, others are meant for brawlin', etc.

I like that caustic is now a bit harder to run long range fights on, and that an ECM scout can more easily sneak around.

But then...

I like River City Night - it adds an element that is challenging and not common in action games, actual darkness.

I like it when Frozen City is near white-out, it changes how the fights happen.

This change has done the same - it has changed, ever so slightly, how the map is played.

[Finn McShae]

Count me among those that like the changes. Just feels better to me now. I just wish they would stop making me play river city night.... ever. EVER.

Well you're both just fanbois so your opinion doesn't count Seriously though I'm patching the game right now so I can see for myself, It does sound interesting though.

[Fabe]

OK just took a look, doesn't really look that much different to me really, So I guess I'm sort of neutral on it.
