Please eliminate map voting. Keep game mode voting but the map voting needs to go. I don't want to see the same map 2 to 5 games in a row. I am looking at you Frozen City, Bog, River City.

There are maps that i only ever get with a x8 vote like Caustic and x10+ for Mordor. Lets get a random chance at maps again.

While I see where you're coming from, there are negatives both ways.

On the one, this voting system has the same maps show up over and over. With the prevalence of clantech, long-ranged fighting, and hot-running alpha builds, nobody's voting Caustic/Therma/Forest, everyone's voting for arctic maps, cities, and the swamp.

But on the other hand, when it was random, there were way more disconnects, which the forums revealed were entitled players saying that they shouldn't have to play on maps that they don't like (Read: I brought a specialized mech that won't work well on this map), so they'd quit and leave the rest of the team handicapped.

I want both selections to be random.

The penalty system in place now would start adding up with the disconnect or suicides that you are referring to.

I agree. I hate playing Skirmish mode all the time, all day, every day...

I too miss not knowing what map or mode I was going to get each map.

Meh... Must be tiers.

I tend to see virtually all maps through the course of play... Hell, half the time I don't even bother to vote.

Yep. My "three skirmish fights and I'm done for the day" rule is very much still in effect.

Oddly enough, I haven't seen Skirmish pop up as often in the last week or so. I mean, it still gets voted when it's an option but it just doesn't seem to be presented as a choice as much. I'm getting a lot more Assault games back to back than Skirmish lately.
