I'm all for big maps because they give more tactics to the game and less mindless brawls add good objectives and 13th commander seat and they get to play mechcommander with real mech pilots.

Silly vision I know

May Terra Derpa 2,0 have a second and third Mt Derp. to combat the Pug Zapper effect.

I can imagine that planet warfare will be more like Risk than Chess since you will be capturing resources and planets.

They will be using the existing maps, and doubtless future maps will be designed and built to expand the options of terrain/environment ect we will experience in fighting over a world.

Community Warfare as described thus far will get thrown at us in 2 chunks.

First up, is rebuilding the match creation/grouping system, adding a weight balancing component, adding factions, maybe lobby functions.

Then once that is up and running reliability, then planetary conquest, which is the red meat most of not all of the player base has been waiting 2+ years for.

Only real question is if community warfare gets in game before clan tech rears its ugly head...

I'm truly afraid CW has been sacrificed to the command chair of the ilKhan.
Clanker mechs coming sooner and on sale sooner than we think.

Even if we get CW with the clans at the same time, remember that the initial invasion, and the initial shock of that invasion, only happens between 3050 and 3052.

That means the clan occupation zone remains UNCHANGED between 3052 and 3058, with the refusal war and operation bulldog.

I would certainly like to feel that initial invasion shock, its one of the coolest parts of the entire BT timeline, but its entirely feasible for them to implement after the initial invasion. Also some of the cool battles, I.E. luthien and tukayyid, don't happen til 3052, so we still have a chance.
