Those of you who voted to save it are wrong. The map is terrible. At a minimum the spawn locations need to be seriously revisited, however endless king of the hill is crap.

End this map.

Your argument is very convincing.

Thank you, I must say I appreciate the lack of sarcasm you bring to this discussion.

They already polled the community about adjusting spawns and have announced roughly what they are going to do with it. You can find that here: https://mwomercs.com...pawn-locations/

Spawn locations and the center mountain should be adjusted a little (more access, maybe not as high).
Apart from that, it's a nice map. I like it.

Who plays on alpine? All I every play on are canyon network and frozen city night. You mean this game has more than two maps?

I like Alpine Peaks. Adjustment of spawn points and some remodeling of the central area are all it needs.

So don't fight on the hill?

Had a match last night where we let the enemy take the hill while we killed a couple of their stragglers, then we retreated and made them come to us and wiped them out.

I like the map,it's one of the few where you can actually see something and don't get stuck on pebbles. I've had pretty fun matches there.

I like the map, I think if they added a small city to the unused portion in the corner would maybe benefit it

This also describes Polar Highlands, and for reasons that mystify me the same people that think Alpine is a gift from the map deities seem to hate PH with a passion.

LRMs everywhere? On Alpine...check. On Polar...seven times out of ten you can use terrain masking to break line of sight.
Gauss sniping you from 1500 meters away? On Alpine...check. On Polar...typically you can use terrain masking to break line of sight.

Wait a minute. I bet the Polar haters are all LRMers boating LRM5s or lame gauss/ERLL snipers!

I'm pretty excited about the new drop zones on Alpine, which Tina & Paul have sorted out, thanks to TygerLily (?).

But I'm disappointed that they're not changing Conquest base locations. I know why they're doing it. Most people are happy with them, and when they tried to spread out bases on Polar Highlands, there was a lot of QQ because it requires good teamwork to make it fun. You actually have to spread out to win. And in the solo queue, teamwork is often non-existent, which makes it less enjoyable.

Even so... it's a pity that Conquest will still be team deathmatch fairly often, because 4 bases are in a tight cluster. Very few lance vs lance engagements. Terra Therma is almost the only map that regularly provides lance vs lance engagements.

I pilot LRM/ERLL KGC and find PH a fine map. What do I do wrong?
