I started tracking my maps after I suspected something was fishy. Since June 8th (if not before) I haven't had Caustic. What logic is there in determining what map I get? These are the maps I've gotten

Out of 46:
11 Terra Therma
5 Forest Colony Snow
5 Canyon Network
4 HPG Manifold
4 River City Night
3 Tourmaline Desert
3 Alpine Peaks
3 Crimson Straights
3 Frozen City
2 Forest Colony
2 River City
1 Frozen City Night

Where's my favorite map? (yes, Caustic is actually my favorite)

I'm sure as soon as I post this I'll get it, at least I hope so...

All the maps are equally weighted for the random map selection process. Note: The twin maps have 1/2 weighting each (e.g. Forest Colony + Forest Colony Snow = 1 map to the selection process) so the combination has the same weight as the single maps.

Random numbers being what they are - you can get streaks of missing, or hitting maps. I've an 8 map in a row streak of Alpine before. Random numbers are random.

MM knows Caustic is your favorite and is keeping you from it. Because Match Maker knows.... And you angered the vindictive MM.

wow that's crazy now that you mention it I just realized ever since coming back from a hiatus a week ago I have not had a SINGLE match on caustic valley. I've probably played 30-40 and not ONE on Caustic.

I'd rather pay MC not to play a single match on Therma

Therma playing conquest can actually be fun. But I will agree that Therma on assault has gotten old.

I don't know, but I do know that you aren't the only one to notice this (although I don't particularly care one way or the other, I do prefer it over the later maps).

i cant stand any of the high heat maps. (tourmaline oddly i can deal with)

with the crappy heat system and how sub par beam weapons already are it just makes them even more useless.
