I was wondering if the PGI forgot to load up a new map for us to play on, and when we might see one.

Then please kindly tell me what we will be having in September, October, November, December, January, February then please, I'm sure you're an expert at what exactly will be going on in those months already judging by your tone

Oh, and no mech pack guesses, we know already there are always mech packs :3

They are making tons of maps.

For MW5.

[CanadianCyrus]

Well they did hire two guys specifically to work on maps IIRC at the beginning of the year (maybe even earlier than that). They've since done facelifts on existing maps, but I imagine we'll get new maps at some point.

I wonder if that's why the VIP was getting caught on the terrain in Crimson Strait...

Here's hoping at least one of them has been sicced on all the terrain LOD issues.

Edited to add: Oh, and randomized drop locations pls, so we're not engaging at the same spots in the center of the maps every time. The giant maps must've been added for this reason, no?

Road map....


But the reason why.. They have been upgrading old maps, they added two knew game modes that have been asked for since ALPHA...

Thats a ton of work..


I really hope they don't prove me wrong and add 2-3 maps in the next 6 months..


Please re-use assets if you can make some extra maps..

HPG MOON, and tourmaline desert... (add new shoot through/UNDER terrian to it.. Think of those unique rock structures in the Arizona desert) Make low slug arms a reason to have verse everything a damn hill humpfest

I'd much rather have new maps, rotating spawns, partial maps than Incursion. I know a lot of people think new modes is the way to go, but that's just new objectives on the same old terrain. I think new terrain is the best way to keep these kinds of games feeling fresh. Even if that new terrain is fighting in different areas of older maps that are rarely used.

We always have mech packs. But we've never had mech packs with quads in them.

(TBH, I'd love some new maps, preferably a city map finally, but my own biased priorities are leaning more towards quality of life changes than new content)

[Felbombling]

The Terra Therma rework came out in October of last year. We'll be lucky to get a new quick play map within a calendar year. To me, that is just brutal.

Here is a fun coincidence... the last Mech bundle I purchased was the Huntsman, which became available in June 2016 and was released on October 18th that same year.

[Accused]

Yeah we several new maps. Maps for current game modes, maps for future game modes, maps for Solaris, etc.

But we all know their going to shoehorn in the current maps to whatever game mode they come up with and call it a day.

[QuantumButler]

Maps cost 250k dollarydoos so you can't expect them to release more than 1 a year.

Nevermind that college interns can make quality cryengine maps in hours flat or anything, every single amazing AAA quality map in MWO costs a quarter of a million dollars to make, producing quality gaming experiences you simply can't get in other games full of unique art assets with nary a single asset taken straight from the cryengine SDK.

They've been "hiring map designers" since 2013 though.

Respectfully, the link you provided doesn't point to new maps.

This is probably my biggest gripe about PGI and there's really no real substantial information about maps.

[Johnny Z]

+1 for new maps.
