Lol, it's so great to troll LRM/NARC/TAG boats, who expected new map, via preventing it by using my multiplier))) So much cries in chat.

LRM Meta is baaaaack! We have LRM Meta buffs. We have LRM Meta 'Mech on sale. We have LRM Meta event. We have LRM Meta Map. I've just played a match, where half of my team stated "LRM here!". And don't tell me, that PGI isn't playing "Meta-loop" game.

In tier 5 maybe.

Seriously dude, you are spouting the biggest **** I see in this forum, not even one of your posts you ever did makes sense. I'm happy devs don't listen to people like you.

How adapt? How improve? Play LRM60 boat? I don't want to do it. And this situation will be unfair, till one of two things won't happen: 1) There will be maps, that completely gimp Snipe/LRM Meta and Light 'Mechs, as big open maps gimp Brawler Meta and Assault 'Mechs now - i.e. turn them into useless pieces of junk. 2) PGI will allow me to choose 'Mech after map is already known. As simple, as that.

The more you talk, the more you dig your own hole.

You don't have to play LRM60 boat to play this map. You just have to use your brain in order to avoid LRMs, destroy UAV, always have a look behind for spotters... You know ? Play wisely with your teammates and your own chassis ?

Thanks to prove us that you don't understand the mechanics of the game, the general strategy, and how to adapt yourself.

We play to a game where there is different maps on different planets. There is not Buildings, cliffs and big walls on each planets of the universe. It's a fact. This map is far more realistic than the others, who looks like big arena for giant walking mechs (like HPG, or Viridian).

The map is great, it brings something to the table we never had in any of the other maps

It is de-centric, nothing a stupid hive mind can circle around, it has rolling hills, just enough cover to survive if your IQ is higher then the temperature around you.

The only problem are the users who are used to shittty maps and wont be able to adapt and will cry foul and make threads like this.

So the biggest problem will be, how will PGI make the other maps as good as this one or do we have to delete every other one except this?

Hahahahahaha

Good one.

I like the new map. Most maps are now brawl range.

When you have LRM problems..Check out an X5 with ERLL.....you outrange LRM Mechs!!!

This map is by far worse than Alpine.

It's wide open, no where to hide.. Took my LRM boat on it to get my 2x xp.. Without even breaking a sweat i did over 1200 dmg. Did you guys seriously think a flat map is a good idea?

This is why I wish we would have a button for "Dislike" on this forum.

[Goolduck]

i like it. proper battlefield.

[Duke Nedo]

Quite nice map, but imo it could use slightly more cover. I only dropped on it 4 times, but all 4 times was in mid-to-close range mechs. Once we got a brawl going, that was fun. The other three times the other team had range and we had 50:50 so we were losing long range trading and there was not enough incentive in the group to close the gap so we had to split and end up rolfed.

Since it's so frequent now I will not dare to drop in mid-close range mechs anymore, at all. That's the main drawback for me. Otherwise the design is cool... I love the no funneling part. Love! But it could be just a tiny bit easier to close range and/or flank imo.

Maybe you shouldn't play a Direwolf then. Leave that dakkawolf home for once.

Yup, because Dires should be obsolete. Good plan.

[Kjudoon]

So delish.

Cries about big "no cover maps" and LRMs from people who probably wanted 200m solaris maps with... no... ummmm ....cover.

On basically every map except Caustic, there's so much cover you don't really need to worry about UAVs. Cover is always within arm's length, basically.

Came to forums to contribute to bitching about the new map. Upon reading yours and other points on the benefits, I have changed my view. You are absolutely right and I had never noticed it until now

[Random Carnage]

Activate flash? People still use that?

[Meathook]

Polar is awesome. One of the best maps in-game. Sure, it sucks to play it 10 times in arow, but that goes for every other map too.

[CtrlAltWheee]

I love it. This is how I imagine CW

[Kjudoon]

Do you realize it's also bigger than all the CW maps by about 30%?

Great map - finally open areas in which you can't just mindlessly run into a brawl.
thank you PGI

[Unnatural Growth]

I like the new map. Plenty of cover, good visibility, no godforsaken fog (fps thief), no invisible tripping hazards, my mech didn't get stuck on any small rocks and I didn't have any trouble climbing into or out of the sides of any of the deep trenches. Some of those trenches are pretty deep, almost Canyon map deep, can easily hide an assault lance as they move into position. I do shake my head at all the pilots that just cruise across the top surface, skylining themselves for 2000+ meters. That's just asking for it. But if you use the trenches, then the <evil> snipers and LRM boats won't be able to see you. Even the shallow trenches can hide you from view. If they can't see you, they can't lurm you.

I only had time to play a few games last night, most were on Polar. Had a couple of nice brawls by using the land features to get close. I did have to bonzai charge on one to a quick end at the opener, I ran out of beer and had to go get more.

[Greyhart]

Loving the new map even when NARCed and killed instantly (at last a reason to use NARC).

Would love to see a CW game on this map. Just place a small town (for cover and ambushes) in one part of the map with the objective and leave it to the attackers to decide a line of attack

[Red Shrike]

I hope the positive feedback motivates them to make more maps like this.
