So all 6 "no" voters, any particular reason you're against a metropolitan ruin map?

Some people just like to say No i guess.

They are way way back in the forum... waiting for someone to lock a target...so they can go "swus swus swus"....

This needs to be a thing in MWO. (Not the mission... the "terrain" )

Bump so that this thread doesn't become a ruin.

Love this idea! Brawling and poking in lance formation!!

LRMs have their place in a battle, as does lock-ons for your own targeting benefit, and for the sake of fire support.

Getting back to the topic....maybe some destructible aspects of the map, which cause damage to nearby mechs would make this map idea unique....and the ability of mechs to somewhat 'hide' in buildings, underpasses, etc, would be cool (kind of like in the Crysis series).

I agree. Many of the older MW maps had dense urban fighting... This game certainly lacks that. In fact I would like to see some dense areas in all maps in a part or two to help brawlers advance with some cover... It would be nice if dense vegetation or smaller rocks helped at at masking signal. It's strange to thinkt hat showing just a small portion of your mech produces the same signal return as producing the entire body.

Perhaps it's just my PTSD talking, but I think some of the maps are a little too close together, actually. Though I would love to see a cityscape, like that from MechWarrior IV, though some of the maps in MWO are spread out, once you're into a place where the fighting is, the quarters are just too close, in some instances.

kay, we straight behind u keepin ur back clean

Its actually quite ironic that the second tutorial challenge is all about fast navigation between buildings....which are skills you will then never need to use again...
I know that its a good way to teach general movement... but you don't even need it on any of the city maps because the buildings are so far apart.

You realize the art team isn't the same as the people in charge of balance? (Which is in a fairly decent state ATM). Your issue isn't related to getting a new map.

In addition, I'm sure the Art, Modeling, and Map teams are also separate. So that's a total of four different teams that KursedVixen sadly tried to lump together. We'll have to hope they take their mind out of the sand and change their vote about this map idea.

I doubt their large enough to have that big of a team, which is why we're not getting new maps or mechs every month.

Or maybe a map takes a long long time to make... and we are getting new mechs every month....

Status of 2016 so far is: one game mode, two maps, three mechs and 2K mech skins. In 3 months.
That is a mindbogglingly amount of artist/design hours...

Paul is the guy in charge of balance, Dennis De Koning is the art team director.

They're not a big company by any means but they have enough for different departments.
