Yep really liked some of the old maps
Caustic
All Forest Colonies
All River Cities
Soon - Frozen City

Would be very cool if they added them back, even if just for scouting modes in FW/CW

Original Forest Colony:
I miss the team wanting to insist on a cave rush only for the lead mechs to stop and stall at the cave exit. They get focused down and try to back up instead of push out. It causes a huge mech traffic jam and the people behind them are blocked and can't fire at the enemy. The cave team gets picked apart and loses in a humiliating defeat.

Fun times.... Fun times.

Only when it was 8v8, 12v12 on the old maps was so bad

Better than Polar Highlands and CHASE THE LIGHT AROUND THE MAP CAUSE NO ONE CAN FIND THE ******* lol

Or better yet

"Why didn't you guys do anything?"
Well gee bub, if we knew we were dropping on 1 of the 2 maps where 80% of our mechs' build is entirely useless, we would have brought something else.

classic maps should all be available for custom games.

I feel old caustic was much better than the new one. Sure it was a nascar map but you didnt get stuck as much and color palette was much nicer. Also bring the 8v8s!! Faction play can hold its status as 12v12 arena which fits the concept anyways.

Caustic valley was never pretty. But the old Caustic valley was kind of drab and gloomy in a Fallout 3 / Fallout 4 way.

New Caustic valley looks like a god of norse mythology ate five kinds of spicy mexican food and had violent diarrhea all over the map. And then the map makers added a bunch of blue flames because why the f*** not? I mean, did anyone ever think Sulfurous Rift was a good looking map? I'm pretty sure it was almost universally disliked from an aesthetical standpoint. And yet they decided to use those textures for the new Caustic. I don't get it.

(I'm not saying PGI doesn't know how to make pretty maps. A lot of them are pretty. But new caustic valley is exceptionally ugly.)

Ok maybe "nicer" wasnt the correct word for it, but it looked better imo which you obviously agree. I dont know what to say about map designs, sometimes they suprise us a masterpiece such as polar highlands(i think that is a great ****** map, trench warfare hell yea!) but then there are caustic, i'll even add that new grim plexus, colors arent too terrible but map feels weird and uncomfortable to me. Oddly enough though gets selected often.
