River City Night can go the hells away. Really I think we could stand to see all four of the original maps pulled and reworked for a more appropriate 12 v 12 size instead of feeling like I'm fighting in a refrigerator box.

What map doesnt feel likethat? ONly Alpine is large enough to actually move around and not get owned, only issue there is the only portion of the map anyone plays on is the size of a refrigerator box...

River City Night.

[Helsbane]

To be honest, I love Alpine. The predictability of the lemmings makes them easy targets. There are plenty of places that aren't the central hill to fight, especially if you get an early kill and force them to come to you across terrain most folks never see.

The new Mining Collective map feels larger than it is, mostly due to unfamiliarity and the multiple levels. I think it's one of the best maps in game to date.

You must mean alot of people aren't psychic and drop in a configuration suitable for the map....

That's a boater's problem, aka one trick ponies.

My favourite has to be Canyon Network.

Frozen City I can't stand, but it's not the map so much as my having to use that damned heat vision mode.


Every map adds a bit of variety and if folk could only play their favourite maps, they'd soon tire of them and start whining.

Can't win.
GG, close.

All I see are people unable to adapt to battlefield conditions.

You didnt read my post then.....Has nothing to do with me has to do with constant drops on TT from not just me but others as well.

Fix the map and i would have no issue with it, but when I get "Allocation Errors" EVERY TIME i drop on that map i dont ever wanna see it again.

Depends if it's group or solo queue. I would never ever do terma on solo queque if I could help it. As is I just wait for my team to be ******* and stand around waiting for the match to finish.

My thoughts exactly. Solo q, never need to see TT again, Group q, lose Alpine.

[ChaiXuan]

Frozen City only because of the FPS hit i take while in thermal mode.

Terra Therma i love only because everyone else seems to hate it

yep, all in rotation but Frozen City.

[Rebas Kradd]

Caustic. The most prone to LRMageddon, not nearly enough brawling space.

[ApolloKaras]

River City or the night variation. The spawn points for Skirmish are absolutely terrible.

Have you run the repair tool or reinstalled the game? Are you on Windows XP, 7, or 8? How much PC RAM and video RAM do you have? Do you have the latest graphics card drivers?

Something might be up with your PC that is being exposed by the Terra Therma map. It's just something to think about.

I'd really like to see a balance pass on maps similar to the quirk pass we are getting on mechs. Basically, to rank the maps and prioritize a fix on the outliers.

When it came up in the recent town hall, I got the impression that Russ wasn't sure about revisiting maps, especially the oldest maps, versus spending the time on generating new maps. I'm very much of the opinion that continuing to balance old maps is important as the game evolves. I don't think it should be equal to the new generation of map content, but it should be part of the plan. Maybe a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio.

Even if there isn't a regular balance pass, the first maps need work. The Forest maps are the worst in my opinion as they are both too small and have very limited tactical paths. Lack of cover makes half the map almost unusable and there seems to be geometry issues.

[Malcolm Vordermark]

I would have to say Forest Colony. I like most of the maps but that one just feels too cramped with 12v12.

[MeiSooHaityu]

Alpine. It's s broken map and I don't like it.

In all honesty I want all maps in rotation, but if one HAD to come out, it's Alpine.

[jozkhan]

At the moment it would be the new mech factory map as it seems to be causing loads of people to freeze up and have to reconnect.

any word on a fix for this?

River City Night.

[5th Fedcom Rat]

Canyon Network, Tera Therma, Alpine or either River City on any mode but assault (due to stupid counter clockwise ring around the rosy)
