Are we ever going to get the invisible walls fixed?

The top of the map is nearly impossible to shoot down because of them, and don't even try to shoot someone running around in the pillars.

but this is every map

invisible walls on HPG are great for trolling people though
and hilarious when used with a stalker.

[Wolfways]

HPG is the only map in any game I've ever played where i can honestly say i just wish it was removed from the game. I hate it so much, and the Tetris fan who designed it

[Charronn]

Ah Cybertron,the map itself is ok.I dont mind it.
Mordor on the other hand is a steaming pile of jobbies.

[WmLowFlyer]

The map is bad and they should feel bad.


Seriously, there are more graphical, mesh, and just design faults in this game than I can count...

HPG Map

Spoiler

Instance 1: Objects switching from low render state at distance have reversed texture skins
Grid: D4/D3
Location: 1702, 2282, 174
From Afar (Note object on the right of the crosshair)


Close, non-flipped texture object


Instance 2, HPG ledge/platform cut outs not representative of hitbox
Grid:E5
Location:2189.7 , 2000, 281.2




Instance 3: Columns under HPG have skewed hit boxes (affects all from all angles)
Grid: D4, D5, E4, E5
Location: 2219.7, 2096, 249.1




Instance 4: Square pillars under HPG tunnel have enlarge corner hitboxes
Grid: D4
Location: 1975.5, 2055.8 ,143.5


Instance 4: Cry Engine unloads map features/textures/objects when mechs lose central LOS of object (Note the glass canopy and number 3 decal object when LoS is nearly lost. Although this is an optimization issue with the game engine, it can also effect mech objects being unload entirely as well under the correct instance)

Grid: D3
Location: 1556.7, 2165.5, 186.1

Object reappear although LoS is never entirely lost


Instance 5: Objects in low render at distance do not reflect their object size when at close

Grid: D3
Location: 132.6 , 2049.9, 202.9

(Note the size of the object itself. This is the biggest contributor to map clipping and other hit registration issues. The map at afar does not reflect its actual hitboxes or objects when rendered close up. This is not the only case, but all similar objects used throughout the map follow this pattern.)

Closer up, rendered objects do not match size/hitbox

Up Next: Forest Colony (day)

It's not just manifold. Frozen city, Canyon, Rivercity, Forest Colony..... Pretty much the only maps that only have invisible walls are the hot ones which everyone hates. Talk about irony.

But clearly, the community cannot contribute to the map pool because PGI needs to upkeep such high quality content...!

Yeah, because we ALL KNOW that not a single memberr of the community would ever dare to make a map that draws off another franchise's IP. Because that would never happen.

Seriously, PGI would havve to ensure than any map/skin that gets incorporated into the game is completely devoid of IP infringements, which is one reason we can't "make our own Mechs." PGI can't be caught with Macross or Armored Core content in their game.

They don't have a computer program that can magically cross-reference Community-created content against all known SciFi IP.

Or just have maps that are tested first, then only use basic crysis default assets and MW:O's?

It's not like community maps are all golden, and it's not like it doesn't take time on PGI's end to test maps. The volume they'd end up with might actually make map development slow down as they get flooded with maps.

Tourmaline has issues too, and that's hot. I only hate Mordor though.
