After watching Dev Vlog 6, and the interest Russ mentioned about community ideas for a map, I'd like to suggest a tropical cavern map.

As it is tropical, it would have low laying fog and practically it's own weather environment.

Low lying water that goes up to a Jenner's "knee" in some areas, the fog would go as high as the upper "thigh" on a Jenner as well.

Still giving visibility to smaller mechs with a more eerie feel.

Have it mixed between underground and above ground if possible (rather large map), with an altitude variation of ~800-ish from highest to lowest.

Large stalagmites and stalactites to hinder LOS (and possibly destructible terrain if implemented).

Low lighting within the cavern(s) area(s) similar to Forest Colonies' cavern/tunnel.

Midday lighting on the outside with foliage filled minor cliffs (~80-ish).

Preferably more subterranean than anything.

Does it make sense? Not really, but would it be cool? I'd like to think so.

We're fighting in Giant Future Space Robots. I think we can justify an oddball planet with larger than life caverns.
Personally, I'm keen for new maps in general, but anything to break up the long range snipefest.

Greetings all,

There is a current map with terrain similar to what was suggested on the MW:LL map roster.

- It's completely underground with a giant waterfall near the center.
Named "Thunder Rift"

- You can see the images and a flythrough here, at the creators site:

I'm sure this has all the attributes that you are looking for in an underground map, if only we could 'just port' these maps into MWO.
