How in the world did the forums whine hard enough to get PGI to keep Alpine when they said they'd remove it for Polar and yet we let old Frozen City and old Forest Colony slip away?

You could have just let them take alpine too while they were at it.

I really don't understand this, either. We lost Frozen City Night but kept Alpine Peaks.

Yes, the former was too small, but the latter has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Im against map voting, since it happens too much canyon, I dont want to paly 40% of my games on canyon, and basically 95% of them only on 3 maps. Thats one of the reasons i hardly play the game anymore.

Has escort actually been recognised as a failure yet?

I've seen maybe one or two good games vs many many landslides.

Seems to me that if you sort the game modes by popularity, you get:

• Skirmish (most popular)
  
• Assault
  
• Domination
  
• Conquest
  
• Escort

In other words, the game modes that diverge the most from team deathmatch are the least popular ones. And yet, PGI still doesn't want to copy popular game modes from other successful games.

Say thx to "bring terrible map" system. Now we have same maps again, again and again anyway, but they're Frozen, Polar, River and Forest with may be one different map, like Crimson, everybody picks.

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

Now can you imagine PGI slipping in the old Frozen City or old Forest colony maps into rotation just for a weekend

[Charronn]

I just had Mining 3 times in a row this morning.I preferred it when it was random.Wish you could remove some maps from rotation ie I despise Bog,I absolutely hate it.Don't like Mining either but at least it's better than BOG.
I also would like to see some old maps back,old Forest Colony was 1 of my favourites.

[NRP]

Give the VIP hover jets, then they can run Escort on Canyon. LOL.

[LowSubmarino]

Running e.g. canyon less because of escort is beyond wrong.

Escort sux cause what makes team vs team games good for a long time is how unpredictable each encounter is. This stupid bot running ever so slowly on its track is just boring. Forces weird stupid engamgements.

Let a player be vip and change the rules slightly so it fits the new vip and more ppl will like the mode.

[BadBird]

The problem is that the game cue picks the 2 voteable game modes first then selects the maps available for those given modes. It should be the other way around. Cue picks the voteable maps at random from the entire selection then picks to game modes that are available between those maps.

Its backwards. Would decide what color you want before you go used car shopping? No you pick what car you want to shop for and your lucky if you get the color of your choice..

[Coolant]

I see Canyon as often as any other coming up...it's completely random.

[Jables McBarty]

Canyon is good, but it was definitely overplayed.

Those Wednesday nights where it's just CN-CN-CN-HPG-HPG-CN-CN-HPG-CN....

Didn't realize that Escort wasn't on all maps, but if it's what it took to increase map vareity I"m thankful.

[Wildstreak]

I see it often enough.

Canyon Assault however needs a fix, until then people need to figure out different things besides Rush the D5 Corner.

Seconded to bring back Canyon and that Escort is awful.

Christie......Canyon? that canyon?

[DAYLEET]

Why don't we get to chose which game mode we want to play?

The more game modes are added the harder it gets to play what you want and learn it and be good at it. These problems are exacerbated by the people who insist on hiding, poking, let everyone else take damage first and generally just do whatever. I only have 8 matches in Escort and so far i love it. But this game mode requires a lot more cooperation from your team-mates than any other game mode. Having 5 guys do whatever hurt a lot more than on any other game mode. It can get intense and exciting unlike any other game mode in mwo but if you dont get the right people you might as well not play.

Bring back Canyon? Please, bring back Terra Therma! I'm tired of all of these cowardly mechwarriors who are afraid to ride the heat curve

It has nothing to do with heat curve. Every single time I have played that map with pubs or in a group one thing happens, people charge that middle line, and whatever team ends up on the side with those higher ridges wins. Its almost as bad as citadel on old river city, or domination on Alpine.

...actually come to think of it, I may prefer old donut version of Terra therma.

Anyway.... RIP Canyon, Mining Collective, and anything that isn't Polar Highlands, Grim Plexus or Crimson Straight.

[banana peel]

Yeah, it's getting ridiculous. Half of my drops in recent weeks are on crimson. Not only the forced undercooked escort blocks three other most popular maps. I'm almost sure they pop up rarely even without escort in the options. Yesterday i had two HPG, one canyon and zero mining out of 25+ drops. These maps, if they are available, get 70-90% of votes (if not against each other). It says something. Described scenario repeats every single session. Less and less fun by the day, tbh.

Bring back HPG and Mining. And yes - stop pushing Escort. No one wants it. It wins maybe 1 time in 10, if it's put up against Conquest.

...and also bring back OLD Frozen City and get rid of this new snipfest POS

You don't want escort because you don't want to think, and that's sad.

I LOVE escort mode... of course every mode and change that pulls this game closer to "Battletech" seems to be something the community rails against.

God, if you want a fast paced FPS so much, go play one... I'm so tired of "But I don't want it to be like battletech" ruining my god damned battletech game!
