Hello MechWarriors!

The new River City is coming out in tomorrow's patch!

Watch the preview video created by Kanajashi!

[Juodas Varnas]

Can't wait, it looks like a huge (and i mean astronomical) improvement over the current map, ESPECIALLY the bloody night version!

Loving it. This may go from one of my most despised maps to one of my favourites overnight.

No yucky smoggy color filter? Check!
Murderable statues? Check!
Decent overall size? Check!
Long sight lines AND we'll spread cover? Check!
Good lighting at night? Check! With a bonus for being able to shoot out lights!

Huzzah!

I love that the lights come on automatically as night falls.

I do have one concern: the grass on the rocks looks super tall, like it might be ankle-high on that Stalker. That makes the overall scale seem a little bit off. I wonder if it'd be possible to make the grass just a little shorter.

Other than that, this is going to be a vast improvement and I can hardly wait.

Thanks for making the video, Kanajashi!

Looks great!

[Leonidas Rommel]

Yep yep yep! Do ^ guys dance!

I love daytime/nighttime transition, but..... there is a quibble. That moon isn't moving. Which one of us is tidally locked here? There should be some sort of movement, otherwise it's just a matte painting.

This looks so much better. One thing i'm interested in is the reason to keep the added rocks in the river. Seems many people really disapproved when the first screen shots were released.

2 thumbs up.

It looks like a really good work! Visibility is good and there are so many different places and zones.

Looks great. The addition of cover along the coastal map edge will help a lot when your assault lance spawns on the wrong side. Hopefully they can make it to teammates now before the lights can catch up to them.

This remake is just gorgeous! Statues are back and you can stomp them! A dense city area where every Urbanmech will be happy! Time of day! Getting dropped from Dropships! So many places a battle can occur! I will need a lot of tissues tomorrow , so I can wipe my tears of happiness!

I only hope that this map won't make my GPU commit suicide (playing on an older laptop, on lowest possible settings). I mean, look at how much smoke is there...

I can't wait to stomp through that city !

[Scout Derek]

Holy Fok, I wanna play it now, and I mean today.

I was going to mention the same thing.

What did Kanajashi do?

Some of the buildings have been replaced or added to make them taller. These should now provide good LRM cover.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
