Send it back to the drawing board and call the new one a replacement... Theres a few more i could prolly reccomend go with it but i'm sure everyone can agree on that one at least..

[Khobai]

nope

but it probably means polar highlands will get voted for less

for maybe a week...

then itll be polar highlands again as usual

[Brain Cancer]

Depends. Does it mean I can get rid of Mining Collective because I think it stinks?

Ironically, maps voted for often are the least likely to get removed. Polar's popular? Good luck ever seeing it go.

Polar Highlands (and Alpine Peaks) is NOT a 'bad' map.

It's just that most of you play it badly...

[KodiakGW]

And I can’t wait for all the threads saying the new map is crap.

Going to happen, just watch. I’ve already proposed a fix that would make people at least willing to deal with whatever map/mode end up getting played. Not going to argue about it again.

Remove Lurm Land?

But I just bought a seasons pass at half off! Drat foiled again!

[Troa Barton]

I like Polar Highlands...

[Khobai]

I just wish we could pick our mechs after knowing the map

thats the problem IMO

[Verilligo]

You know, I used to hate Polar Highlands, but I've come to appreciate it more as I've gotten adjusted to it. The interplay between the various small valleys and positioning of the whole team and making effective approaches is fairly interesting. Yes, there's always the issue of LRMs, but it actually makes spotter mechs a viable playstyle. Not to mention give you a special appreciation for a well-placed UAV.

[Appogee]

Polar is not so bad. However, the people who usually vote for it are usually the problem.

[N0ni]

Getting rid of it? No.

New map is going to have a higher % in map vote rotations though. Let everyone complain about how bad the new one is for a couple weeks and watch it be close in votes to polar highlands when both are up at the same time after that point.

Hell, if people hate it enough i'll have another thing to save votes for other than Terra Therma/Dom.

PGI could Probably add more Rocks around the Hills or Trenches and it would be fine,
personally i dont see a problem with the map unless you get Narc'ed(then your Toast! )

[Jay Leon Hart]

I would much rather they add old Frozen City and Forest Colony back.

I'd love to see how I play on those maps now I'm not as bad of a pilot as I once was (though by no means that great ).

[Asym]

If we were to get rid of any map, HPG needs to go back into the map repair shop for rework...

The only purpose for that map is brawling and too many of MWO maps favor close in brawling.... let's open up the playing field and use the rest of MWO's weapons....

The new map will favor where the profitability is for PGI; make no mistake about that.

HPG is one of the better maps

its forest colony that needs to go back to the design board

while we all wish for this.. but we know that would be alot of trouble and just make meta building for maps worse..

like i said send it back to the drawing board and do a little redesign.. It could use more to it.. and heck everything could use a lil sprinkle of something on it to break it up, hint theres more than 4 colors... But polar is too flat with no cover, trenches that wont stop an lrm arent cover (you cant call one shovel full of dirt out of the ground a foxhole u can hide in)

+1

They should also reduce the size of the map IMO. And it would be cool if they made the trenches a lot deeper... like fighting in a foxhole.

[Mystere]

Before we add any more maps, map and game mode selection should be:




Otherwise, unused map are just a waste of time, effort, money, and other very limited PGI resources.

Instead of merely changing existing maps, why not just add similar ones but with a different set of features? The end result is additional maps. We need more maps!

Sheesh! <smh>
