No longer works. They altered the code and told us that anyone caught trying to circumvent it would take a vacation.

I can accept that without proof.

Are there any F3P PvP games that even allows you to exclude certain maps from the rotation?

[Foxfire]

Not going to happen.

I could live without ever seeing River City and HPG ever again but PGI isn't going to allow for selective map filtering.

Personally don't like the fact that I am forced to play on maps that I simply don't have fun on.

[superteds]

map choice leads to things like 24/7 IO FF/OFF Karkand madness, and no-one wants to go back to that.

I still have flashbacks.

...because I have much, much, muuuuch more fun playing on those 4 maps than on all the other maps. They are just infinitely better and the fun is reduced significantly on the rest of the maps.

I luv shooting mechs on those 4 maps. It is a ton of fun for me. On the other maps I do not have so much fun. Not at all. The fun is significantly reduced for me on other maps.

Why am I forced to play maps I do not enjoy? Why not let me have fun all the time on those 4 maps?

I dont understand why I cannot choose where to play? I do not want to play on other maps as they are bad.

Pls rethink your choice to force me to play every map.

I feel that somewhere in this is a cat in the hat Dr. Suess ryhme waiting for explotation....hmmm....

I'd rather they do something they said they may do a year or more ago, map voting. This way when you get grouped up with your team and enemies in a proper lobby, you vote for the map and who knows maybe select a different mech. That would be awesome.

"map choice leads to things like 24/7 IO FF/OFF Karkand madness, and no-one wants to go back to that.

could you translate this I have know idea what you just said

I am new to online gaming

on my old PC games I could choose what part of the game I wanted to play (map)

[Superslicks]

Davegt27 Most online games you can chose what map you would like to start on, I believe we should be able to also chose what mech we want to take on the map we chose,
All this bullcrap about it would be unfair to play your best builds on the map of your choose is just stupid.
MechWarrior is a fun game, but most of the time it just doesn't make any sense at all....

"Ok men, we are going to war! We will be dropping on the ice planet of-"

"Excuse me?! Sir? Can we not go there? I hate it when my mech gets icy! .... Oh! And can you rig it so we only fight IS?... Oh! Can you also ensure there are no LRM's?"


Said no mechwarrior, ever.

I still find it awkward that with all these maps I can still drop on terr therma 3 times in a row. I believe this is pgi messing with me but I have no proof.

Name one PvP mmo style game that allows you to selectively pick maps

Not single player games with a multiplayer option. Actually. Make it 5 sinve you said "most"

[Davegt27]

Sandpit this is my first online game so I would not know

I was talking about a store bought game
Like Command and Conquer or Ghost Recon

I’ve been playing PC games since 1980 but never had a desire to play on line

I did not have any preconceptions (except I would get my butt kicked) about online games
I also have not been conditioned (brainwashed) that things should be a certain way

The only condition I would have is the customer is almost always right

Or Damn the stats full fun ahead

[Farix]

F2P PvP I've played:

Warthunder
Robocraft
Star Conflict

All of which don't give you a map choice. Hell, they don't even give you a choice for game mode. And none of them allows you to have more than 4 people in a group. And that's typical of most other F2P PvP games.

[Tarogato]

Implementing a map voting system would be a lot of work and also full of all sorts of hidden issues, such as splitting the queue or making it so some maps almost never get played.

Instead, we should concentrate on providing feedback: exactly what is it you don't like about certain maps? What can PGI do to improve them? I created a thread for exactly that, because PGI has expressed interest in redesigning the old maps and updating them in the coming months.

Well there's the thing.
What you have here IS the norm for this type of game.

You ha e private matches available though where you can do just that. There's a myriad of reasons why you can't just selectively choose your maps in this type of game.

Why so you can make custom builds that are actually made for those maps?

Nah no fun in that

What would be so bad about people outfitting their mechs to suit the terrain?

Maybe you missed the other posts in this thread explaining that?
There are private matches available that allow you to play like that though.

Map selection won't happen.
Shouldn't happen
Can't happen.

And it's not entirely because of the reason you listed. Check out some of the other threads on this topic. It's all explained pretty thoroughly.
Balance
Mm issues
Player population
Exploitation
Just to name a few

[Davegt27]

I still say you guys are brainwashed

They could do it if they wanted

What if the game only had one map?

Would the world come to an end?

Too many people on one map buy and extra server for that map (or whatever it takes)

There not much difference in load-outs per map so what if a person’s thinks there load-out is special for a certain map

Brainwashed lol
Dude
You're usually more sensible than that.
You're ignoring every reason given.

So since you're down to "brainwashed" arguments I'll just say
Play private matches
Problem solved

Sandpit and I don't agree very often, but this time we do.
