"Tuesday Patch finalizing nicely- new game mode and new map and the Archer- tons of other stuff."

Russ just tweated this, I knew about the gamemode but didn't hear anything about new map.

Any light on this?

Go to the mech lab and launch the training grounds. When you are prompted to select a map, choose Grim Portico. Run around and take a look at the map.

You just played on the new map. Congrats!

New map is the size of tourmaline, but uses the art set from portico (which IIRC is based on tourmaline.)

So.. Tourmaline 2.0?

Really? But Tourmaline doesn't look like crap...

I just want that big blue sun reduced from Portico Vitric Forge. So annoying to my eyes, when attacking.

Wrong map. You're thinking of Vitric Forge.

Ah yes, you are right.

Maybe it will be a ticketed respawn mode where every mech has a different ticket value based on the equipment it's using with a multiplier based on the individual chassis.

Large XL engine on light mechs would automatically add a huge amount, almost any assault would be expensive by default etc.
Some severely underperforming chassis would then get lower multipliers to their total cost and suddenly people aren't using min/max meta builds quite as often anymore. A lot of the troll/fun builds people do that have no right being as effective as they sometimes are would see a lot more use as well.
DHS would definitely add to the multiplier, running a mech in its stock loadout should decrease it slightly as well (for most mechs anyway, every once in a while a mech actually has a good acceptable stock loadout for what this game has become).

...I can hope, right?

Lol, I see what you did there.

[Beaching Betty]

Theres a video of the map on their official Twitch, looks umm okay. Decent looking map..

[Meathook]

New game mode will basically be assault with only one base in the middle of the map. Yay!
