Just my option...
Terra Therma is so spooky and evil looking that I don't vote for it.
call me Mr. scardy pants or what ever.
anyway,
give it nice Blue Skies and I will vote for it.

There is no law that says a volcanic area has to have gray gloomy skies is there?

I love the new Terra Therma. It has a unique ambiance. I wish I got to play on it more often.

You're supposed to be a mighty MechWarrior. I'm going to keep building my multiplier to drag people in there with me :3

Not technically, but... it does tend to work well.

The only mechwarriors that should be frightened of Terra Therma are Clan e-boaters, descending into the ninth circle of shutdown hell.

IS players should be building cooler and spamming this map to pieces.

Artwise, I think Terra Therma is very nice.
But gameplay wise, it's imho the tiniest map of all. EVERY time EVERYONE just runs to F7 and then there is a big slaugher, MAYBE sometimes some flanking. 90% of the map, I have never seen.


Beautiful (yes, scary) landscape, horrible layout.

Terra Therma is my vote multiplier farmer.

But if I actually get a game on it it's fine too as long as it's not Domination.

I agree. the old one was an idiot-fest every time. This one is more open and dynamic leading to better play choices.

I like the new one. The map is so large that you can pull off weird and unexpected maneuvers that you can only dream of in the old Terra Therma.

Hard for alot of people to see on it to any significant distance (even with nihgt/heat modes) and hot map. It's not ever going to get a ton of votes as is.

People rail about Polar but it gets played quite a bit ime (cooler, easy to see, LRM friendly which a ton of people seem to like).

I even get more matches on Alpine and Caustic than Terra Therma. It's literally my least played map.

Colorblind support, better (old) minimap, and a hud that doesn't blend in so much on maps like terra.


Suddenly, magic.

Terra Therma is a great map, I wouldn't mind PGI doing the same thing with Caustic Valley so we can kill the auto-NASCAR mentality. Only thing that kills it is that 'race to the center' mentality. You only need to be the team that remembers to FLANK in order to win while the majority of player treat each match like Domination for whatever reason.

Just tell your mates to go to G8 if you spawn on the east side, and watch as your stupid opponents trickle in one by one and die. it is not hard at all. I have highest win rate on that map cause of it.

Wait... You're telling me there are maps other than Polar Highlands in this game?

Pull the other one. It's got bells on...
