THE CYCLOPS?

Bad??

[El Bandito]

The map is Crimson Straight. Cyclops being bad or not will entirely depend on quirks.

In another topic I point out that it is Crimson Strait revamp, let me go copy said post:


Okay back from stomping around Crimson Strait and what we are seeing in the image Sader posted (which is on the front page) you can see through the left hip gap on the Cyclop the pillar for the structure by the freighter in Crimson straight. The big mountain in the background being the central mountain in Crimson Strait. So the Cyclops is actually on an island away from the current map, given the road it is on and the other assets shown either this is a sister map to Crimson (which would be pretty cool) or it is showing that there is going to be another segment added that looks to have at least some sort of winding pass to it that nobody will ever use unless hiding in a cheetah at the end of a match.

Edit to add: Or another thought the A1-A4+B1-B4 area is changing a lot.

Edit to add again:

Okay on my hunch I wandered around the upper city and found a spot that kind of works with my idea that upper city is changing a fair bit.



That is the front page image.





My evidence is the little white we see poking between the Cyclops hips you can clearly see in my Phoenix Hawk shots, throw in the mountains look about right an the earlier image on the front page was clearly of crimson it looks like more cover for upper city being added so fights can more often be in there instead of always on and below the platform in E4-E5.


TL:DR; Cyclops is on revamped Crimson Strait and I actually really dig how the Cyclops looks, but, I am a sucker for bad mechs.

Ok the redone maps are amazing. Really. Even though the troll brigade says everything this game does is bad constantly, the new redone maps are actually excellent.

Anyway, I still would like to see an entirely new map some time.

That is what I want as well, got excited at the prospect of a new map that was based off of Crimson Strait's assets and maybe even have it in the background (I mean hell in Crimson Strait you see a city on the over looking cliff to the east). But, I know they want to revamp all of the old maps even if it is just doing a beautification pass (which is much deserved if you look at the photo's I posted, Crimson Strait is practically barren compared to the revamp). What I really hope is that they have a team working on the old maps and a team working on 1-2 new maps.

Heres a suggestion for a new map. Game of Thrones doesn't own this location. Just as an idea maybe for something different as to whats already in game.



Also this video shows that modern skirmishing at least, do take place in locations like this.

Personally I wish they would leave the OLD maps in rotation..... IMHO there are a several that are far superior to the re-vamps
