I do not think so. The textures look very similar to the ones in-game, which seems a rather silly use of an artist's time.

Well, all of our money must be going somewhere...

Seriously, it looks like a bad photoshop with mechs copy + pasted to me.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I don't recognise the map in this screenshot-.

Kind of looks like Canyon or Caustic, but not really.

Is it a new map, or just a little scene they modelled for this screenshot, or have I missed something?

Or its just a "Background" and not a map.

It really looks like Canyon...but I don't remember ever seeing a part of it that looks like that.

If it is a new map...do the artists at PGI hate the color green or hate plants or something? Seriously, almost every map we have is some kind of wasteland that is nearly or entirely devoid of any foliage, and look like the last place in the galaxy anybody would give a damn about having a battle over.

Obviously shopped: every time I've faced PGI in battle, they couldn't get 4 mechs facing the same direction, let alone 8.

Well, in 2012, someone made a thread about how much better Forest colony would look with more vivid colours, making it green and blue instead of brown and, well, brown. Everyone on the forum loved the idea, loved the beautifully colored pictures in the OP.

And like every other input from the fans on MWO art direction and design, ever, in the history of this game, it was ignored.

So... yeah. I'm expecting more brown.
