Alpine is a snipe- and LRM-fest, but there are worse maps.

OR create a new Map that penalizes Snipers/LRM-boats and encourages brawlers.

There are some maps i don't like too much. Alpine being one of them. But i'd rather play those for variety's sake, than remove them from the game entirely.

lolno

Please stop. Depending on whom you ask, you will find that every map is hated by some group of players. I would much rather be rid of River ****** than Alpine, for example.

But it will never happen. The best you can expect, is some improvement upon what is in (for example trees on Alpine, more space around the small maps). Every map is a large game asset, representing a big investment for PGI. That is not something you just throw away.

I say just modify the map to make the hill not the place to always be. The map is great except no one wants ot fight anywhere but that hill.

the whole J/K/L line is a fantastic piece of map along with the vertical 11/12.

lots of cover, lots of places for lances to maneuver around and fight but no......TO THE HILL!!!

base locations should be moved as well as the team with the base by the hill has decent advantage i think.

River city night is a good map but it should only be used for skirmish and maybe conquest, but not assault.

and I don't know why everyone harps on Terra Therma, again, another great map with LOTS of places to go and use to fight, plenty of space to flank and what not just everyone likes the top and too many people can't manage their heat.

Alpine is a wonderful map. It is great, and has room to move. I know that some people don't like this map because of it's size. Well, I just saw a post to get rid of all the small maps. If we went with everyone's desire to get rid of these maps, small and big alike, then we will have nothing.

Lolno.

Alpine is fine, and I'm primarily a Brawler and play IS mechs exclusively.

If anything, consider maybe putting some tunnels in.

remove river city night and replace it with an actual new map instead of a gimmped copy of an existing map played in monochrome.


REMOVE something IS NOT a SOLUTION. A lot of people love River city night and pray for more night maps where use night/heat vision, why remove it?

Clever idea is a chance to choice what map include/exclude in search queue. If you hate a particular map you exclude it. Stop.

When will the people learn that "remove X map" polls always come up with the result that the map should be kept?

Not one such poll ever (in the history of MWO) had the result the thread/poll creator hoped for.

Well yeah. Nobody is going to vote to remove a map, even a bad map, from the rotation while we don't have anything to replace it with. We've got few enough playgrounds as it is.

I did tho. I didn't want Spudbuddy to feel bad. Bless 'im.

I've had great games in this map with premade lance of AC20 mechs.

It's only awfull when you have an enemy team of LRM boats against your team with no ECM.

There is always the radar derp module that any mech can equip.... you know the ninja one that breaks target lock if you so much as bend over when they try to shaft you with an LRM.

This map and Terra Therma are ones always asked to be removed.

And the answer is always the same.

NO!

Now that players are starting to understand, "Stay away from the ****ing mountain in the centre" there are whole areas of the map opening up to combat and interesting encounters.

Remove map: hell no.


Rethink spawn points and cap locations: maybe.
