I hate this new map, I run brawler builds with AC20 and SRM, in every other map, you can some make them work, even in Alpine, you keep out of sight and start smashing thing when it becomes knife fight.

In this map this is not posisble, either you have 400+ range or you suck.

So I never choose this map, when some LRM losers vote for it, I just apologize from the team and leave the match i can't waste 10 mins of my life for this map to be bombarded from the enemy that I never saw and Raven 2L that pocking from 1km.

Ever think that, maybe... just maybe... brawling isn't the ONLY way?

Seriously m8, go look at the stock configurations of your battlemechs to understand, you, personally, have gimped yourself by choosing the exclusive brawling lifestyle.

These mechs are intended to be run with a varied loadout, that allows them to function at all ranges. You only gimp yourself by focusing exclusively on the brawl. Especially if you're trying to be the lone wolf hero.

Now, even in the new map, if you stick with a couple of people as you move up, you SHOULD beable to get into brawling range without much incident.

I did some trolling Yesterday with my (don't hate me for this sacrilege much) LRM Kingcrab with a friend running Raven-3L with narcs

Won all (5-7) the games in new map, damage +-1000 all of them, so LRMs do work pretty nicely in this new map IF there is spotter/narcer... even in tier1.

We test the map yesterday for MRBC.
I think its a great map and lrm are no problem on it.
All the complaints are puglife.

It is very easy to get in to medium or even close range if you use the ravines and roads that are provided (just as easy as Alpine if not more so). Also, why on earth do you think a mech with zero long range capability should be viable on every map? Try playing a sniper on half the maps in this game and you'll realize how entitled you are acting. If you don't want to build your mech with some tactical flexibility then you should expect some less than favorable scenarios to pop up.

Love the new map have only had one LRM rage incident so far and it was totally avoidable.

[McMatt]

I really like new map. It forced us to communicate more, to implement some new strategy (not just nascar or deathball). And it's only map that I like night version of it.

PGI ?

THANK YOU FOR THIS MAP !
It is finally a map worthy of the georgous megaton stompy robots you provided us with, allowing us to stride out at full speed for more than 15 seconds while giving us all the little features/undulations/whateveryouwannacallthat real terrain would also have .
It looks flat, but isnt ... SUCCESS !
It looks barren, but isnt ... SUCCESS !
It is BIIIIIIG ... EVEN MOAR SUCCESS !
It gets rid of emptyminded NASCARING ... ALMIGHTY GOD IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE !!!! SUCH SUCCESS !

PLEASE MAKE MORE MAPS LIKE THIS !!!
YOUR BATTLEMECHS LOVE THEM !!!

And after reading a few of the pages of unsubstantiated drivel some people brought in here, I had to retaliate in favour of you PGI .
YES !
ME !
"Mr. never satisfied, harsh *** critic, grammar {Godwin's Law} Rad Hanzo" finally wields a big boneclub and a white shield in your company´s favour .
Give the guy(s) that made this map a big, loud and slurpy kiss from me ... AND GIVE EM A RAISE while you are at it, they have done VERY VERY WELL and need to be retained working for you .

P.S.:
Dear OP and his supporters : If you cannot make sense of Alpine Peaks ,Terra Therma or Polar Highlands, then this game might not be the correct game for you .

Do keep in mind, #puglivesmatter.

When you stop and look, Pugs are the majority, and unit's, sadly, the minority.

So, you play builds that are nearly guaranteed to win when within 200m (because thats the point of the SPL/SRM/AC20 brawling setups, their sustainable damage output is through the roof compared to longer range builds) and then if the game doesnt give you one of the maps where terrain guarantees you to get into that range unscathed, you quit?

How would you respond if everyone who brought long range weapons quit every match that wasnt alpine, polar or tourmaline?

Yes, bringing AC20/SRM splat builds to a long range map sucks. But so does bringing ERPPCs and getting Caustic or Terra Therma, or bringing LRMs and getting any map that isnt Alpine, Polar or Caustic. Youd be mad if those people quit off your team, so don't be that guy yourself.

Personally, i wont play any mech that cant fight effectively at 500m. Because i don't like being unable to contribute.

yeah i've played polar maybe 6 times so far and have yet to see any lurms... mainly brawling happening and range wars SOLID MAP PGI! personally i love this map. i just finished last match with a 7 med lsr hunchie... THIS MAP IS GREAT FOR BRAWLING i even did very well in my ac/20 4 srm6 artemis as7-s(L)

Pugs, units ... it doesnt really matter which side of the MW-coin plays the map .
The map MUST be challenging to all .

This one is a challenge ... a very, very welcome and very well designed one .

Played it twice so far, once with a basic´d medium-to-closerange Atlas7S-(L) with AC10, 2LPL and 4 SRM4´s ... 5 kills @ ~600+dmg , resounding team success... sooo sneaking an Assault into the enemy mob while getting LRM´d is doable .
The second time I was driving my closerange Jenner-IIC-O with 5 SRM4´s ... again a very resounding team success thanks to Tarogato in his evil Locust and another chap scouting the everliving heck out of the enemy team while our biggies moved in pretty well concealed and then unleashing hell upon a very, very distracted enemy that was standing partially in the trenches and got flushed out of them and partially in the open where they just got overrun.

Both times my team seized the initiative in a tactically sound way and milked that advantage until the enemy had no more milking left in them .

PGI ?
Please be so kind and bless us with more maps of this make .

[iLLcapitan]

Yes! Love it!

Played it four times or smth and no match was decided on the same spot.
My first match on it went like this: Everybody is dropping and gazing around, massive chatter in team chat. Nobody got a clue what to do, then somebody said "there is a small outpost in H10 or smth" and around that a simply beautiful match evolved.

Did the Lords try LRMs against you?

[H I A S]

No but you can close the range very fast, or kite with Longrange.
Maybe we should test it out, Curccu

[YakkSlapper]

I rather like it, it's not yet another cluttered repeat of the other maps, more open with hidey holes if you know how to use em,

and no, i not a lrm boat or laser 'vomit' or any other 'meta' mech, i tend to make what "I" think is cool to use, and my yen low loves it with an AC 20 salute and my kit fox brought all the 'umbrellas' youll ever need,

very fun map no matter whats your style usually

My builds works fine %90 of the maps, thx, if PGI wants to give some cookie to LRM fanatics it is Ok, they are free to do so, I am also free not to play that map also.

adamts01, on 21 January 2016 - 02:18 AM, said:

Um.... PGI can force you to never play your account again.....

That is cool also, I paid around 150 bucks this game, I am sure it is more then average then most people paid, if they want one less paying customer, it is ok also, there are lots of other games to play.

Personally when I see somebody in an Atlas with LRMs, I let him know he is bad.

My AS-7S with 1xAC20, 4xMLas, 1xSRM6 and 1xLRM20 is pretty decent. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

nope you are not - non-participating and disconnecting on purpose are against the CoC and will be punished if reported and approved.

So when you see me I am running LRMs in Atlas BH or Victor 9S, you will applaud me or what.

Personally when I see somebody in an Atlas with LRMs, I let him know he is bad.

And this is a game, nobody can force me to do something, I don't want to do, specially no amount of reporting.

Simple is that I refuse to play this map.

Are you fine with other people quitting other maps when their preferred build isnt optimal for the map?

If not, why do you think that you deserve special treatment?

you are free to leave a running match of course, nobody can stop you from not using your mouse and keyboard - expect to be moderated and punished, even baned if you act against the CoC you agreed to, when you downloaded and installed MWO.

Don't cry when the ban arrives - I think PGI can live on without your 150 Bucks.
