One of the most pathetic, terrible maps ever.

[Kushko]

I actually kind of like it. The map i dislike above all others is Alpine. Its unbalanced with its starting positions and does not promote any kind of interesting fights.

[Egomane]

And yet, all polls ever made on that subject, are against a removal of TT, with a massive lead in favor of keeping it.

So maybe it is just you and few others, who don't like it?

[Moonlander]

I quite like it as well. Lately, most of the fights have happened outside of mid and that really adds a bit more fun to it all. I would much rather have Alpine removed too. Unless your team commits to rushing them and cutting them off before the ridge, it's just the same old long, drawn out garbage match where whoever can peek more wins. No fun!

What makes it so terrible?

[That Dawg]

I like it.

NOT a fan, at all, of that night river city map......at all.
And I like crimson straight the best, but......statistically its my worse map...go figure
and I do loves that new map, more places to hide and snipe than a thin fibrous wooden object could be rapidly vibrated towards.

For Crying Out Loud, Delete Terra Therma From Rotation.

No.


That was easy.

[DrSlamastika]

NO, therma is good, I like it when I see burning laser boats when I am driving some of my ballistic mechs

Or most of us dislike it but think that with so few maps, it's crazy to get rid of any?

I dislike Alpine, RC(N) and TT, but don't really think taking out a quarter or more of a limited mapset is a good idea. When there are 50 maps, that may be different.

River City first...or back to 8vs8

thx

[DaZur]

Everyone has a map their not fond of for a myriad of reasons...

Personally, I've found most people who demand the omission of a map tend to do so because it requires a doctrine contrary to the one they are most comfortable with.

I struggle with River City more than any map... That said, I appreciate the challenge ever time I'm dropped into it....

[Kes Moreau]

Yeah!! Fewer maps is just what this game needs. /sarc Good to see when people don't like something they come here to cry for it to be taken away from everyone else. Good day to you sir.

[Foxwalker]

151, I a curious what you believe to be so bad about the map. You should really give reasons when you post something like this.

I think it is pretty good, here is why:
1. Requires some interesting heat management.
2. It offers a central arena if you like.
3. You can choose not to do the arena as there are many ambush points.
4. Conquest it actually can offer fast mechs an advantage.\
5. For Assault, it requires base protection as it is too large to get back to base compare to the smaller maps.

And more. Anyway.

[GreyNovember]

At least you can. Y'know. See where you're going most of the time.

As opposed to places where the snow is so thick you can misjudge a building for an ECM'd mech.

[C E Dwyer]

Its a pure skill map Terra Therma you have to be aware of the inclines, you have to be aware of choke points, hot spots and blind area's.

you have to learn to control your heat build up

In short those that want a map that pushes them, should like it.

Those that want everything on a plate want it removed

[Ace Selin]

Terra Therma is a map I like to play, please keep it in rotation!

[Piney II]

I like the map, but I like to drive cooler runnning builds.

The laser boat alpha shooters that run close to shutdown on cooler maps are usually the ones crying about Therma.

[Clint Steel]

I dislike it too. if they put the volcano off center in the map, and made a little city or somthing to fight in too it would have been far more interesting.

As it is, I always pray that the team will decide against trying to go center, because the battles up there are always a mess. Also its hard to see on a calibrated monitor, and your visions do little to help (why doesn't heat vision calibrate to ambient temperature?)

I do have to say they have made it better than when it was first introduced, used to be awful to start a battle then to find a light was caping your base, and the boxes in the entryway of the volcano do help a bit too.

I don't think we should throw out a map, there are too few as it is. Even a bad map at least makes you appreciate the good ones more, but lowering its frequency in rotation would make be happier

No Op. I like that map. Terra Therma is much better than some other choices.

Because Terra Therma is the type of environment that Humans would want to build a little city in...
