Does anybody else get stuck in a seemingly unending cycle of the same maps... for me currently it's frozen city, river city, crimson river & grim plexus... occasionally other map comes up; like caustic or forest or bog... been like this pretty much every drop for the past week.

[RestosIII]

I'm 100℅ for random maps again. I personally don't want game mode selection to be a thing, but voting on that should stay.

[Battlemaster56]

Voting for game modes should stay but I want random maps I want more Terra Therma.

[chucklesMuch]

I'm not advocating a change just wondering if people keep getting the same four maps over and over to choose from?

[Evil Goof]

What I want is it to be random but I want a drop down that allows me select which maps I am willing to play (all checked except polar), and what modes I want to do (assault, conquest and domination only).

Then matchmaker generates a game and slots players in based on their preferences. If you are super picky, you can probably accept the increase in the amount of time it takes to get a match.

When you just wanna play some Therma/HPG/Alpine but all you've been getting is Frozen and Polar every 2 matches


Random maps needs to return

People fill thier mechs with heatsinks and laser vomit then pick ice maps + HPG all day.

I missed random selection a lot now. One of my fav maps is Viridian, Caustic, I even like the odd Terra drop (I know it's daft but I like em).

Seeing the same maps day in and day out is so boring. I am sure I am not the only one who dropped on HPG 5 times in a row.

As a brawler, Alpine don't work well for me, but I'd like to see some variety every now and then. Haven't seen Alpine in weeks, possibly months until a few minutes ago

Mining, canyon, alpine, hpg, therma have all been very rare for me of late, as in they haven't even been voting options.

Same here. If I was a conspiracy kinda guy I'd say PGI had intentionally lowered their chance to appear, so make map selection more varied.

[W31rdWarrior]

Yes please! Every match it's a loop of the same maps, Polar Higlands, Frozen City and Grim Plexus, looks like ppl want only to play laser vomit mechs, there's no other explanations for this choices..
Other maps seems vanished, the last time i saw Terra Therma was like one week ago, and luckly some good ppl voted for Viridian Bog 2 days ago...
Then, YES, random map please!

Same feelings, except for Viridian or Canyon istead of Alpine

I believe someone pointed out before that those are rarer because you can't run Escort on them.

Anyway, yadda yadda, and the usual 'Get rid of map voting for the good of the game' plea, and so on.

[Kasumi Sumika]

Want to some brawling action but map selection only showed large map like Alpine, Frozen City, Polar, River City, etc....

[Mudhutwarrior]

Pretty much map selection is what pushed me to stop playing. You have a dedicated team of tryhards that game map selection on top of those who only want certain maps. Off course that means the average casual really has no say at all. Everyone knows this and most of all PGI.

PGI has lost so many players that now they are trapped in catering to the core. Vicious cycle that always ends badly.

[C E Dwyer]

Map voting needs to go

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

I strongly feel something is really wrong here. I don't just mean how maps are thrown at us.

If I want to drop on a sniper map with my sniper build, surely I'd pick the planet/location applicable.

Why the £(*£%)£))) would I take a laser vomit mech to help depend the realms of Terra Therma. I know this then adds a bit of complication to "Quick Play" but if people take a brawler on Alpine, it's not their fault but they're mainly useless.

I am starting to think there should be options to play on planets for QP, which ever gets skipped the most e.g. Terra for example, a bounty bonus starts rising. Just a thought but forcing people to play even on random maps seems weird too, although it solves the problem with same maps showing up all the time.

[Coolant]

i prefer those listed maps over and over again. i don't understand incredibly long range maps like polar or alpine...unless you always take extreme long range weapons which i don't. prefer to be able to brawl...which I think is why those other maps are picked. After all, brawling seems to bring more action and why I play the game.

Ah that makes sense... ironically i had 3 escort game on crimson within 5 drops... not sure about that game mode in solo queue
