So I've been playing on Polar highlands a lot lately.
Its a BIG map, with no choke points, areas of sparse cover and very cold. Pretty much a heavy brawler mechs nightmare, and yet I love it!

I love there are no grid points everyone just moves too, and I had the pleasure of dropping with a group that was co-ordinated and instead of death balling we split 6 and 6 across the map and caught the enemy between us and just ruined them. I love when a scout calls the grid hes spotted the enemy in you are thankful because you had no idea they were going to be there.

I love it so much I want more maps like it! I want the freedom to move around a map rather than shuffle through the same paths I've wandered down a dozen times.

I want a map with rolling hills of farm fields with tree lines forming soft cover to obscure your presence and infrastructure such as grain elevators big enough to hid behind dotted around as cover. maybe a river valley with steep sides so mechs without jump jets can only cross at certain areas just to concentrate the action a little bit. I can see it now and I think it would be glorious.

Good work on the map PGI, and pretty pretty please can the next one you make be another one like it?

I want more maps like this one too! I have only played it 5-6 times so far, but I haven't seen any NASCAR'ing yet. And, I like that scouts have a vital role now, and I love not getting caught on everything. I also like that it's easy to see.

By far, it's my favorite map.

WorSt map in game if u go wrong way sometimes you won't see a soul entire match, and if u don't have lrm or large laser or larger chances are you ain't hitting snyone unless they rush you, please no more big maps, we need a smaller close quarters map

Dear PGI. I'm going to take my ECM spider with cap accelerator and exploit the hell out of your large map until you refine it.

toodles!

I dislike it and find it boring.

Been loving it in solo queue so far. The big tactical plays I've seen on it so far remind me of some of the better matches I've had on Alpine where the victor is decided by some smart maneuvering rather than endless peek-a-hill and corner poking alphafests.

I really enjoy the lack of a big centralized 'fight around this' feature.

I like it and i can't wait to get a full unit running this weekend to play around in areas other than the middle

[MischiefSC]

I love it.

Don't go to the f*ing middle. There's tons of cover everywhere else.

Don't just run off - ask your fast lights to scout a bit, then look at the map and see how to approach them from cover.

It's like having to think. I can appreciate why some people will hate it.

Probably needs to be stickied. Seems even slow assaults with no ECM want to sit in the middle in a pack. And scream at you why aren't you treading out there with them.

I like this map.
