That flanking passage seems so long.. Assaults are gonna be left in the dust in there most likely.
PS. Those pics are super small, hard to tell what you were getting at without the hint

Nope, still tiny

[MarineTech]

Well, since we already have Mordor (Terra Therma), and Dagobah (Viridian Bog), I'm just gonna go ahead and call this one now.

I dub thee..... Endor

Try not to step on any Ewoks.

I wish that PGI doesn't wipe out the specialties of each map and make them so similar.

With these recent maps/map renovations, the tactics/styles of these maps are looking more and more the same.
We need more variety.
We need more maps that helps different builds/styles. PGI should be more creative. More variety = more moments where we are forced to adapt to new environments.

Imagine a map where if you fall down into a large hole (size of Bog's water area, not a bucket sized one) you can't get out. Or one of those large, open maps that I heard Living Legends had. How about a map where occasional earthquakes screw with seismic modules?
People said that there was too little cover, and so PGI started dumping cover everywhere until all the maps they had were basically the same.

p.s. I fixed this for you.

[Sarlic]

Thank you!

Well, instead of just asking for new maps, the "community" incessantly cried and whined about the the old ones. So PGI delivered updates to them. Thus, the "community" is getting what it whined for.

Eh, I always hated River City, and Forest Colony. They where bad maps, and them being all gone away makes me a happy mechwarrior. The new maps are smexy.

I neither cried nor whined about the old maps, mind you, but I'm damned happy they're going.

With respect to the OP:

All I can see when I see those map previews?

As an Assault pilot - particularly a slow, ponderous death dealing assault pilot - I see my greatest foe.

Long passages? No. I'm not bad, and don't get left behind. No, I'm not concerned about distance.

Cover? Short sight lines? No problem. I'll be happy kitting up with more brawly gear.

No...

What I see, what I fear above all other things:



There is nothing like a small innocuous pebble to bring 100 tons of charging death to an abrupt and embarassing halt.

[KrazedOmega]

I thought I read that they were going to keep it clear like Forest Colony from back in beta? This just looks like Viridian Fog 2.0.

[KraftySOT]

Yeah after Rivercity being cleared up, the fog is kind of a disappointment.

Still better than before if its bigger with more paths. Rivercity is finally half way decent.

Skip to 2:00

Map looks pretty good.

[ProfessorD]

These stills are not doing it justice. Watch the most recent Weekend Update for yourself. The new Forest Colony is a major improvement.

Although, the OP is probably right that there are now a ton of rocks and pebbles and steps and stuff for slow mechs to get stuck on. Heavies with JJ for the win.

Edited by ProfessorD, 10 August 2015 - 09:02 PM.

[KraftySOT]

Yeah it looks like a huge impovement. Viona has done some great map art. Design looks solidly better.

They seem to have figured out maps finally.

[Sarlic]

Thanks guys it was more for the laugh then to trash the new map. Like Wintersdark says: the horror!

[DarthHias]

Could use a little more colony ^^

More small cities?

More like a Mining/Lumber Town I would think.

I think it would benefit the map yes. Although i hope they make more cover at the shoreline at the boat.
