Yes, I agree with the OP, I think the game is about due for a NEW map, not a reworked one..

But I don't see it happening anytime soon, since they are probably doing that for the "scouting missions" of CW Phase 3.

Out of the suggested map types, I would like to see the following:

1) Mechworks set in a borehole-style mine (With caverns and underground areas
2) A huge open spaceport set in a dense city
3) A Royal palace type map
4) A desert city
5) A sky city
6) An island chain (with underwater areas)
7) A hydroelectric Dam set in a mountainous forested area
8) A vast cavern
9) A fully underwater map
10) A frozen vulcano type map (ice and lava)

All the maps should NOT have much temperature changes or extreme temperatures. We have enough of those.

Also, there should be some weather effects, but none that would make most vision modes ineffective, and day and night cycle should be realistically set per-drop, not alternating between night and day in 15 minutes. (so if you drop during night time, its night the whole match)

Ultimately people should WANT to vote for those maps..

I could do without the weather effects and the day and night

I do not want a new map, not until they have cleaned up existing ones. Less clutter, less pebbles to get stuck on and less invisible walls. No I do not want empty big spaces but there is too much clutter on the new ones.

If it's not cold, super small and easy to navigate with your eyes closed and clear as day no one will play it. Otherwise it's too hard to play.

A white box. 12 mechs with their back to the wall, facing eachother, and after countdown, everyone just alpha strikes till one team is gone. Excitement!

Although I don't play alot of CW recently, I like the idea of fighting next to Dropships.
Give them active turrets to make things more interesting.

A desert map sounds interesting too. But not without cover. With map voting it would just be long range spam.
Could put an oasis in it and some ruins.

A city map without open areas would be a bit boring imho. River City isn't bad for a city map. It's just that people don't use much of the city.

Islands and caverns sounds also cool. Put some ships in the water. Maybe let them move! Wow, think about something that's not static!
And caverns with dark passages and openings in the ceiling, flooding parts of it with light (more use of different vision modes).
Could also be some kind of mine with some big machinery in it.

Make it so PGI!

Can we get a NHUA map? Just to see how many would vote for it every time.

Rolling farmland with dense patchy woods and steep ravines with agricultural facilities. Maybe a grain silo/feed mill or stockyard. Really make a laugh and a farm mecha dealership.

OP*er nice ideas, but honestly, this game Doesnt Need more maps just to make a New map.

Every single map PGI makes just becomes boring and predictable after about 25 matches, FACT!!!

What every single map Needs: Several RANDOM GRID SECTIONS spawn with a different combination of say possible 3-5 Types of Terrian/Objects that correspond with the overall Map Terrian/Theme!!!

This way H9 on Alpine peaks DOESNT ALWAYS BECOME THE "GO TO" spot on the map!

THINK ABOUT IT . . . really THINK, IMAGINE . . . this way every single damn map, every single match forever CHANGES enuff each time, to prevent PREDICTABLE, BORING, STALE gameplay that plagues MWO and will Until something is Done to Address it !!!

PGI: I'm sure it would require a **** load more work, but you would be installing a NEW HEART into MWO's FUTURE.
NOT just another ******* BAND AID for the FLAVOR OF THE MONTH . . .
