What is it?

[LordKnightFandragon]

Probably a new map, sneaky sneak peak is sneaky.

[Will9761]

That is not a new map, it is a revamp of Crimson Strait.

[LordKnightFandragon]

^^Oh, I C. Nice.

[ScarecrowES]

Yup, that's Crimson Straight... not even a revamp. That's the cargo ship docked right under the main platform. Cyclops is standing out in the water right in front of the ship.

I suppose if you didn't want to take my word for it, you could simply go there yourself.



There's the cargo ship in the immediate background, you can see the docks behind with all the cranes. The main platform above and behind that, and in the distance is the saddle. It's Crimson Straight.

Wrong image scarecrow

[Moonlight Grimoire]

It is a different image, but, at very least we are looking at the revamp of crimson (no idea where those roads are in old crimson, I'll go hunting in a little bit) or we are looking at both a revamp of crimson and a new map using crimson's assets. My money is on a crimson revamp like Bog with maybe a few altered parts of the map for more city.

Wow... haha... in the last hour it seems they changed the image. My apologies. I was re-watching Game of Thrones and missed the update.

THAT map is almost certainly new. I don't recognize any of that.

[Moonlight Grimoire]

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.

Crimson is my favorite QP map. I hope they don't change too much. (Like Frozen Crappy.. I hate that map update.)

Crimson is one of my favorites as well, it looks like they aren't adding a huge new area but instead shifting some terrain around to give better cover to the upper city and trying to shift fighting to have more places to happen as you can see in my previous post. Not certain how I feel about the changes.

They are the trees from Crimson Strait, you can see them in A1-A4 and B1-B4.

i am very happy with my cyclops so far. I think the cockpit will be a blast (headshot )!

Thats what im sayin....it isnt the current Crimson, thats for sure.

[Requiemking]

Hmmm, Cyclops. Also, a revamp of Crimson Strait, out of all the possible choices, wouldn't be too bad. Maybe they'll do something about the C4/D4 area.
