First off, just finished a game on alpine peaks, mode domination. Can someone at PGI tell me how they thought that would bea good placement for the objective. Let me role play the conversation

Dev 1: Hey joe where do you think we should put the objective?

Dev 2: Huh, lest put it here, that way the enemy team has to expose themselves to a cliff full of firing mechs to make sure they dont lose

Dev 1: Brilliant Joe! We do not pay you enough.

Sarcasm aside, it really is a terrible spot, puts one team in a bind while all the other team has to do is set up on the ridgeline and wait for them to come around.

Also, I do not want a new remade frozen city, I want a new map. I feel that for the amount of time this game has been out, the diversity of maps is pretty poor. It is getting very boring droping on the same maps over and over and over again. I am now losing 2 maps so I can get a prettier looking one, do not worry pgi all your maps look like crap I am betting it wont look much better.

I spend a decent chunck of cash, I expect new content besides your money making mechs. Please make a new map, even one every 6 months would be fine, just give me something to have fun with. All mechs are the same, you find the meta that works best, maps are the only content that allows you, perhaps, new playstyles.

If you wont make new maps, open up a competition to the community to design a new map pack.

I like some of the maps that are currently in game. I would like to see the FP maps added tp the QP rotation to allow new players to learn those maps during actual combat situations before going into the chaos that is FP. The gates and turrets could be left in-active for that. I would also like to see new maps added. It would be great if they would take a look at the MWLL maps and incorporate a few maps similar to those into MWO. They have Canyon which is similar to the Canyon on MWLL but a nice desert map or an Alpine map with mountains and proper scale trees would be nice adds.

Yes, I do not think they have much in terms of resources dedicated to map design, but it should not be hard to import maps from older games or at least open up the tools to a select group in the community to make maps.

I wonder why Frozen City needs a revamp anyway. In my opinion it is one of the best maps. They can do more harm than good *cough* Forest Colony*cough*

I agree, I really enjoy frozen city night, the daytime one is not bad, you just need to use thermals.

They said they hired a new guy or gal for maps and thought we would like the results, I seem to remember Russ saying that at some point while he droned through the town hall, making comments about how few people there were.

For people to listen to Town halls they need to be interesting, of they are a waste of time

Well according to his new tweets, they tripled the map team size. So we might get both new maps and revamps faster.

Correction, welcome to MWO.
Don't sully the Mechwarrior franchise by confusing the two.

PUG queue brah. Alpine peaks is huge and there are quite a few places to fight. Also, domination only requires that you have ONE player in the circle to maintain a stalemate or countdown. Not only that, you have only to shoot the enemy in the circle to stop their countdown. You can also destroy their beta bases to set their time back 15 seconds. There are strategies to implement. However, that requires teamwork. The problem is, the majority of people playing in quick drop are just there to get their rocks off, level up a mech, or what ever reason. They don't care about anything else.

I hate to say this... If you're looking for more tactics and better game play... Play with your unit. If you don't have one, join one. Get into FW unit play.

Otherwise, good luck in pub queue.

I can not stand FW, the wait time is kiler

I'm all for map tools to the community but why in the name of sanity do you think importing maps from other games would be easy?

[SC1P1O]

IE the old games, you have designs you can use, dont have to think up of a map design
