I'm finding the lack of new maps really is putting me off of MWO of late. This has become a bigger issue for me then just about any other issue in MWO as I know we are all just along for the ride at this point and what ever they decide is what will happen. I'm sick of the same hand full of maps at this point. we have Forest Colony, Frozen City, River City, Alpine, Caustic,Tourmaline, Crimson Stright, HPG, and Terra Therma. Nine maps, that's it. I refuse to count "Night versions as anything different as they play the same. I'd really like to see about 4 new maps a year minimum as I don't think that should be to much for a professional dev team to achieve.

edit: due to missing 2 maps, thank you Bullet and Mott

Aside from missing a couple maps... i gotta agree with the OP.

And i've only been playing since January 2014! It just gets damn boring seeing the same maps repeatedly and watching the teams do exactly the same things by going exactly the same routes over and over and over and over.

Oh sure, you can try to do something different, but good luck getting any team support to do so. More often than not you simply have to shuffle in with the deathball just so you don't get picked off alone.

Maybe all work on new maps is focused on providing fresh content to arrive with CW, when we'll have access to dozens of new maps?! Yeah.... that's the ticket!

I believe they already stated they moved Entire Dev Team to Clan Mech Development until they get those out.Then will switch over to Content like CW and Maps.Probably be awhile longer for Maps

Or open the map development to the community and watch us churn out maps like they are going out of style!

They should do it like star citizen does TNGS, have a weekly contest that the community votes on, for what map stays.
Introduce three maps into rotation for a week, and at the end the community votes in one, and votes the other two out. This allows the community to allow some direction of the game as well as takes a massive load of resources that PGI can now use for thing's like content and mechs.

Everyone wins!
It's also free?

Gotta 2nd, 3rd, 4th and bazillionth the OP request for new maps. New geewhiz clan mechs aren't gonna mean a damn thing if everyone is bored to tears fighting over the same ridgelines and chokepoints over and over again. Stop with the excuses and hire a dedicated team of map-makers churning out at least one every other month.

You know PGI is hiring right, get in there and speed things up.

Other than that clan mechs are being worked on and I'd rather they all do that and hopefully no bugs upon launch.
