7 months since a new map.



It has been said that a new map, a jungle map, is in the works. .. ok.

I hope for your sake PGI that when community warfare is released that you surprise us with a LARGE MAP PACK, say 3 or 4 o 5 new planets, because otherwise this game will feel 100% exactly the same ... seriously.

Maps > New Mechs.

I guess the problem lies with the fact that you can't generate income from new maps?


But.... come on!

They had more pressing issues than a new map.

I'd much rather they spend their time fixing the game than adding more fluff.

Variations on old ones would be nice too:

-Terra Therma could have meteor/random fireball drops across the map, as well as volcanic ash that reduces visibility in some areas. OR BETTER YET: make the middle pit active so fireballs shoot out from below combined with ash falling down so people don't go in the middle for a change.
-Caustic Valley could have acid rain. Very subtly reduced visibility, no damage, a light sizzling sound. All bodies of water would slowly damage legs. Spawn Points would have to be readjusted out of the water if they are currently
-Crimson Strait could have a seismic variant. Someone suggested this. Every now and then a bit of screen shake, some "earthquake" sounds, and there you go, fresh gameplay.

I'm all for new maps, Imagine if they dropped 6 new maps in the next 2 weeks and made those maps extremely hard to pop tart on, that would bring back the brawlers and the role warfare, i think maps are more important than mechs, and they will need lots of maps for community warfare in my opinion.

Then you have to ask what does somebody consider fluff?, and at what point have the fixed the game and what need's to be fixed.

I'd love to see something inspired by Ishiyama from Solaris 7. Nothing but caves and caverns.

You mean about a month from CW release there won't be a pre sale on maps.

pre purchase and play these maps now a month before the community does for only $200.and show us how really dumb you are

scarey thing is I'm guessing this is an option talked about in the 'board room'

I feared this topic would be broached...

Selling Maps packs early...

I wonder if the matchmaker was coded for that when dropping, look for map pack or no map pack, then assign 3-3-3-3.


I know they need income, and im guilty as the next, I have a stable of hero mechs and nice colors, and camos on my mechs.. I pay for premium time often. I have the money, I kinda drew the line at the cost of the Clan packs, and hope that pre sale map packs aren't in the works...

but again... I know they need income...

..sigh.

[Jonny Taco]

They are trying to figure out how many clan mechs need to be sold to produce another quarter million dollar + map with massive hit box issues... Properly "cut out" terrain would of course raise the cost to half a mil or more though...

Dropship launch facility, complete with an abandoned Overlord that we can fight inside, on multiple levels. Several levels with overhead walkways, warehousing areas filled with cargo pods. Large open areas that are landing / launch pads for the larger dropships, vacant during the match. Blast tunnels that vent the exhaust from the dropship engines that we could use to flank. Would be a blast!

I bet Stalker LRM boats would just love that!

Hey there! No new Map in this patch, so I'll be moving this thread to GD.

He probably appreciates you moving the thread and all, but wouldn't it be useful if you could post some details maybe?

Asking pgi for new maps and CW content lol that's a good one. Might as well ask the sun to stop rising.
