I love HPG Manifold.

Maybe it is the cooler temp, interesting sound effects, unobstructed view/good visibility, or fairly symmetrical layout. No matter what the reason, I like picking HPG Manifold when it comes up.

I also like Crimson Strait as well and often pick that.

As for the other maps...ehhh.

I'll say this, Frozen City Night is hard to beat if you want to vote a different map.

I often vote Terra Therma when I am farming my vote multiplier. I for one enjoy our new pre-match minigame

I for one actually like TT and also greatly enjoy shoving my 10x multi at it at the last second so people trying to farm votes on it help me get my way. Is nice.

I pretty much just quit playing MWO the voting system sucks the 3 game modes have become boring beyond belief and CW is the same boring as heck so good luck OP.

[rolly]

Here's a thought - if they actually put some variety into game modes and more maps voting would be a non-issue. Reference - Insurgency. The minimap game feels just like another MVP feature.

I'm asking to much, I know. Expected possible date: 2017 + 5 followup patches or hotfixes after that.

[Felbombling]

I noticed, as I suspected would happen, tons of variety in the final selections. Hot maps, large maps... maps everybody said would never be seen again.

How are you going to feed your gambling addiction if not with the vote game?

[CDLord HHGD]

I always vote for VietBog. Favorite map.... Mode matters not to me.

Each time your choose one of the lower %, losing maps it goes up by 1

I have had a multiplier of 6x despite only voting twice and just skipping the rest.

Basically that is what I save up votes for. Well, that and trying to circumvent Conquest when I can.

What I do too.

Save my votes and only vote against what modes/maps I do not like.

Hardly have to use them...

[Zookeeper Dan]

I've seen a lot of last second selections win recently.

I wonder if it's from people with high multipliers waiting to the last second or from people switching to what they think is unpopular to increase their multiplier?

My guess it that it's the latter!

[Felicitatem Parco]

This thread is a bucket of crap.

"I stopped voting, and see no change"
"I don't play the minigame"

Who the heck cares about you voting or not. I'm sure the other 23 players would like knowing that they are now having more weight behind their votes... But this thread IS NOT going to convey that notion to them. So, what are you really trying to accomplish here, other than looking for sympathy from other jilted people, like you, that would rather prefer to have really long wait times?

We want to discuss among ourselfs why we think the voting system is ********, and why we ignore it. Thank you for asking.

I prefer not playing Assault (since the removal of turrets) and get a random map. Like I always stated.

[Jae Hyun Nakamura]

I'm doing different things while i wait for the game to come and do not vote. Mostly i'm in the kitchen and when i see the ready up screen it's my time to take a seat.

Wait times are lost times if you stare at a searching... screen.

I just always vote for Terra Therma.
Just so i could ask people in-game if they brought The Ring.

[C E Dwyer]

I just vote Terra Therma and conquest, and then laugh because in the last seconds when everyone thought river city was the easy win, they jump to Terra and then ***** because its the game map.

[Kassatsu]

I click the least likely mode to win and terra therma every time, if no terra therma, I'll consider caustic valley just for the hell of it, if neither are there I don't even vote. It generally gets up to 8-12x before terra finally wins, game modes are a bit more mixed and are upwards of 8x before I randomly pick the "wrong" one, don't think I've gotten a 12x multiplier on game types before.

[Kraftwerkedup]

Yeah after the joy of building up an 8x and trolling people...I stopped even participating. What difference does it make..

Ok so you are better at mini game than me...

it's not a game
simply click on a map and mode you like and be done with it. Dont' understand all the "anguish" and indignant attitudes form some regarding the map vote.

"Becaus people "exploit" the process"
Really? Building a multiplier that allows you to have more weight in selecting a map
every 5-6 games
is hardly an "exploit"

"Because people "troll" and purposefully choose "bad" maps"
Got news for ya, plenty of people like maps you might not, it's not trolling

"Because it doesn't matter"
Uhm, ok but it does. I've tested all the popular myths regarding it.
It registers votes all thew way up to 0
If a map ties the map that had the most votes first wins

That's all there is to it. Can we stop making a big deal out of a silly function that has no real bearing on anything in the game?
