PGI have been sticking pretty firmly to releasing a new map every 2 months. HPG was 17th December, so the next one should be in the last patch in February - ie. next patch.

Have there been any comments or teasers for the next map? Or is it likely the release schedule has been dropped for UI2.0?

[Dracol]

With all the buzz about the new UI, I hadn't been looking for any info about a new map. Since they are separate departments and so far the map team hasn't missed a deadline yet, I have high hopes now of seeing a new map next patch.

No new map for a while. I'll see what I can do in the meantime...

[fandre]

Maybe some Map variations as discussed in many threads before

[cSand]

There was talk of a jungle map previously I think.. not sure if that was slated for this month

[Snowcrow]

A new map would be wonderful. And turrets on all assault maps.

Just dig up that King Crab from the files and I don't need no new maps...

since PGI loves hot maps, give me a dustbowl, flat with a few rolling dunes and some scattered structures

Call it Pirate's Den, make it a big dustbowl with late afternoon look (ie dark shadows, but still bright enough to see in. Maybe a cave with turrets in it that are capturable. from a different location?

If not a new map, mod some maps with night modes or heavy weather modes. Change some walls/buildings around or add terrain structures like the landslide near antenna hill on Forest Coloney Snow. Or maybe you could enlarge the ones you have and use some of that hashmarked areas you currently have off limits. I, like many MechWarrior players, don't mind seeing the edge of the world every now and again. Lastly, the addition of turrents leads itself to having some proper forts/bases to assault. Maps like RoyalPalace Pro, GriffinBase, Defiance Pro, Avalon Pro, Endor Assault and Cantinia Base Assault from MW4 Mercenary were some of the most popular mission maps. Thanks...

BTW, I found a site that still listed them: http://www.mechwarri...action=listMaps

Buff LBX, and no more spread tightening buffs.

Also buff LRMs.

If I could, I would get all the weapons and equipment that need it reworked from scratch. Unfortunately, I am not a PGI employee and Thomas D. is currently working hard on turrets and other in game assets.

New Map!..... HPG Day!...wait what?!? lol. J/K

Still, I wonder if it would or even could have another variant.

Maybe Crimson Strait Sunset or Sunrise? A bit dark, but with a orange or red hue. Might be sort of cool. Could do a winter variant too where the harbor is frozen over. Don't really need another frigid map though.

[Colonel Fubar]

Make a more realistic 31st century battlefield with terrain features that reflect damage...Buildings, Bridges, Trees, etc. Add AC & LRM turrets and especially ground troops with small lasers and Armor to city maps. Add choppers, Mine Fields and automobiles with fleeing civilians. A couple Elemental's every now and then along with some high value targets would sure be nice.
Allow Battlemechs to SPLAT ground troops and fleeing civilians.

Maybe a war torn Mech factory. PGI can place some new Mechs teaser on the map as well.

[Dawnstealer]

Just allow me to drop a Fortress Class dropship as backup. THAT'S ALL I WANT, PGI.

Um...just me: no one else can have one.
