When it come to Alpine Peaks, W.O.P.R. said it best...

"The only winning move, is not to play" - W.O.P.R.

Of course you can't choose your map and if it comes up in rotation you have to play it, but that's still how I feel about Alpine. I just WISH I could not play it.

Bonus points if you know what movie that quote is from without looking it up.

Would you like to play a game of chess, instead?

(Sorry pick a harder movie - far too many of us here from the 80's =P)

The map is still piss poor. Perhaps its great for the teamplayer, but its lacking getaways (perhaps due scale) and for example a tunnel in the mountain. More cover like destroyed buildings. It needs way more variation.

Its bad for the solo que. Just like BOG. I have a screenshot that the enemy is on B4 and my team is on C4. All up high.
Signs of a bad map design when almost each match takes those two points without people going to flank.

Sure the pilots and or the team are also to blame, but who am i when i going to flank in a lonely Atlas? I rather stick close on the flanks then going on a suïcide mission.

I eventually hope PGI will fix their attention after the patch 17 feb on EXCISTING problems and flaws.

You sure had alot of fun. Good video

[MikeBend]

Nobody forces you to i9 hill, if everyone went there, just go flank. Thats what i do.

It is a bad map for the moth type player and a great map for everyone else.

[Votanin FleshRender]

It's a map that favors certain play styles more heavily than a well balanced map should. If you drop there in a brawler, and to some extent, a skirmisher, then it can be a challenging experience.

That said, one of the best games I've ever had in my Firestarter-A was there, in a game when I groaned when it came up and thought it was gonna suck. Challenging experiences are often the ones that are the most memorable, on the few occasions you overcome the challenge.

Yeah, except they did it with like 100,000+ men against like fewer then 3000 across all the beaches....were doing it 12v12.....and we dont get hedgehogs to hide behind...

And yes, I know your being sarcastic

You mean like how most maps heavily favor brawling? Maybe players should run more balanced builds and stop trying to force every encounter into brawl warrior online?

But its the meta. PPFLD Deathball Brawls. No reason to ever change it right?

I remember a time where people wanted flat stages for balance. They were wrong.

Not saying you were one of them, just remembering old times. Also, there are maps with cover. Then there's Alpine. Sometimes you just need to suck it up and figure out how to deal with a new situation. That or make a Mech that's good at every stage.

I haven't found any point in the thread or the video really, and nothing hilarious to laugh about.

[MechWarrior3671771]

That was hysterical.

Esp the "I haven't fired any missiles / I'm out of missiles" part.

No, I mean, you play with a small group against other random groups, get the kill against bad Crab caught alone with two huginns taking like 3-4 times more time it usually takes, then running from combat waiting for match to end? Is that your tactics? And it is funny enough for you to laugh about for the entire duration?
