So does this mean that the new map is coming out on the 18th?

Forest Colony looks utterly gorgeous. So, will the rain -that we saw in the video- be random on the new map or will we know what time slots the rain will start/stop in? Also, will it dynamically affect the ambient temp/cooling efficiency of mechs?

This is Forest Colony. Frozen City will be done at a different time . . . and I'm sure it'll remain frozen.

Last word was that it is, according to the command chair post's last update.

I think he meant "So no more Forest Colony Snow"?

In that case, then I'd say that yes, it's gone. Honestly, I won't miss it one bit. However, don't be surprised if they take the same theme and apply it to a new map down the line. Regardless, there's still going to be Frozen City and Alpine Peaks for cold maps, so it's not like we're losing much of anything.

Already addressed that. You should have finished reading the thread before replying.

Wow, the new Forest Colony look gorgeous!!
Now I'm very curious of what you will do with the Alpine Peaks (and Frozen City).

(MWO map makers: if I'm looking forward to see the new maps more than the new mechs, you know you are doing a great job)

Yep, new map looks amazing. Visually, I have no complaints at all. I'm especially thrilled that the old part of the map is not the centerpiece in the new map, which will probably make it feel like a new experience. Really looking forward to seeing how it plays!

Looks good. Rain looks light, and like it shouldn't cause an FPS hit, which was my main concern, and there's no fog...so, awesome.

Apart from not having any FPS death features, the map itself looks gorgeous, and hopefully will have plenty of fun areas to fight, and less of the funnel syndrome most of the maps tend to cause.

What a lovely map to go for a stroll, relaxing at the beach, blowing up mechs and scorching half of the map in the progress

i wonder, does it mean they change the tutorial too or it will still use the original forest colony

p.s. it's not very realistic that containers have not standardized sizes

Old Forest Colony -> RIP !

Great new map. Thanks for that. Good that we get rid of the old version, which is one of the worst MWO maps.

Hopefully the next map for an overhaul will be Alpine Peaks and Viridan Bog.
