The Mad Dog being on sale isn't helping. I finally bought one, fitted a narc and LRMs and have been exploding seals.

All yesterday I used short/med range on that map though and closed distance just fine. People just don't think. Plus, there are plenty of options to block line of sight. But.... If you get narced it's over...

Hah...I think you got me once in that thing while I was in my 4J last night.

DIdn't see people avoiding the new map, though there will be definitely people who will vote for something else. Stroke of bad luck and you might not see it in votes.

Gotta admit, I like the map but I wouldn't want to have the map selected everytime for the next 2 weeks.

In the last 15 matches I got to play one map other than Polar.... it is spammed 100% every vote. I wished I could get an avoid...Getting bored playing it over and over.

This trend of avoiding the new map cause you dont have a balanced loadout or dont know how to play on the new map NEEDS TO STOP!

Build a more balanced build please. AND STOP MAKING IT SO I CANT TRY THE NEW MAP!

Pgi puts all this work into the dam thing and all you guys do is avoid the **** out of it cause you want to stay in the old meta becuase you cant be bothered to adapt. Its sickening and its a miracle this game is still even running with people like this

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win. Sun Tzu.

also

"The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; Not on the chance of his not attacking but rather on the fact that we have made our own position unassailable." Sun Tzu

In short people play what they want. your just in the minority... The current vote system is almost as fair as it gets.

I'm a brawler and 80% of times I pilot short range.
So yes, 80% of times I avoid the new maps.

Problems?

PGI has it backwards really. You should actually vote on the map first and then have 60 seconds to pick your saved load-out of choice. PGI would see that they can allow the weapons to have tactical qualities and be less like vanilla when players can take the right tools for the right job. This is actually MechWarrior at it's highest level of player involvement.

[Lukoi Banacek]

Like PP, everytime this map was an option, I ended up playing on it.

OP, you should probably relax and stop thinking the world is out to shaft you from a gaming experience on polar.

Some like it, some dont, some vote for it, some against and many of us seem to not care if it comes up at all either way.

Rants just make ya look bad when based on anecdotal, and comically low sample sizes.

[Herr Vorragend]

The new map is superb! Finally tactical options and you have to THINK!
That´s great! The map shows the weakness of nascaring and deathballing and that´s exactly what MWO needed so urgently.
I personally am hoping for more maps of this kind.

You can enjoy the map by:
- equipping AMS
- savely guard your ECM buddies
- scouting and tagging, spreading information
- equipping balanced loadouts for all purposes

You will lose on this map by:
- playing without thinking
- ignoring the minimap
- ignoring information given by teammembers

So stop complaining and get to know, what MWO really is about.
Have a good time

That is what I suggested half a year ago. The map should be given and people have to chose one of four previously equipped mechs of the same weight-class. (and if you don´t have as many, you have to chose trialmechs)

Yep, it is.
Btw, I like polar, it's very well done.
But since most of the time I'm short ranged, I prefer Bog, city locations, etc.
Anyway Polar is not bad, imo, and those 20% I'm long ranged I could enjoy it.

This is funny because 80% of my drops lately have been on the new map.
