*activate heat vision*

[-Halcyon-]

Yup. It's a shame all the pretty colors transform into monotone every time I drop there.
But hey....gotta do what you gotta do to stay competitive.

[Brody319]

Nope. I just shoot at the red boxes.
What you should try though, its heat vision on terra therma. Makes mechs stand out a lot.

[Mister Blastman]

It is the damn fog. Get rid of the fog! (and 'mechs changing color like chameleons)

I always found it funny that the map itself is hotter than an active mech is. How do they avoid overheating at ALL?

[RetroActive]

I flicker it on and off, but most of the time I'm in normal vision.

So your air conditioning doesn't work when it's warmer outside than in your house? Think about it.

Same here. Turning it on and leaving it on is as dumb as not turning it on at all. Some areas mechs show up better in normal view and some in thermal so you flip back and forth as needed. I've spectated people and watched them miss mechs moving past them because it barely showed up in thermal or they shot the blob of mech that would have been perfectly visible in normal vision and missed the CT because it was more difficult to see the facing in thermal.

The map would be much better in my opinion if the environment made radar spotty and heat vision useless. Force pilots to creep through the jungle and try to identify enemies by sight. Would make it so much more fun.

[Revis Volek]

Would be much better if i got a chance to play on it.....

Still only one drop on it in 2 days (9 hours of play). Please increase the frequency PGI...

And make it 23 v 1. The 1 enemy Mech is a jumpy cloaking Light, with three TAG lasers to the right of the cockpit, and a shoulder turret super-ERPPC.

Wait, that sounds familiar...

my green camo atlas s is a commando in the jungle

[MadMaxMKII]

I have to play with heatvision too. it is a pain in the ass to play a nice looking game in monochrome graphics. especially light mechs and some medium mechs are so hard to spot, without heatvision i would never see them.

[Raziberry]

I like the fog. Looks cool, and the map is designed around sneaking and hunting people down. Makes you feel lost and isolated. One of my favourite maps.

[Moonlander]

Nah, I don't use Thermal, I just look up on the plateaus... Thtat's where everyone is anyway... Or hiding behind the plateau that their teammates are standing on. Then we just pinch them and it's over. The fog is good, it's immersive... because you know, fog is a real thing that happens in a humid bog.

Tried heat vision, noticed it doesn't do much good anyways, shot at red box or movement, works.

I love the map, I'm a brawler by nature, the playstyle is highly dynamic and chaotic yet very tactical. Brilliant map. To bad the FPS is lowish on my ****** rig.

[Sachimon]

Best map in MWO, EVER. The rest goes to - L2P.

[Burktross]

Yup. Need heat vision or I can't see.

[Scratx]

I just played it, didn't have issues seeing people. No heat vision required here.

Of course, I was in a Brawlerine... SRMs galore. But still.

[Ozric]

We have never needed predator vision back more than we do now.
