More city map estate is awesome for skirmishers and lights.
Ill enjoy this.

From the first look, it is pretty underwhelming

Glad for the new map. However I would prefer something like a tight city (at least for mechs) with no crossroads and other road clutter in every possible direction. By that I mean, roads that go up and make bends and such, roads on one level only.
Just want a war torn city with alot of whole structures too, daylight only and possible dead ends. Alot of hide and seek, alot of brawling.

Kinda like this.



Only useful way to use long range weapons could be down the main road (s) otherwise, mostly forced to brawl.

Can we get a “I’m walkin’ here!!” warhorn to go with that map?

HAHAHAHA

I made the same joke!

Yes, Casino Night Zone! I did think of that when I watched the preview. Anything that makes me think of classic Sonic is good in my book.

A proper urban map should look like something out of a modern city riven by warfare, be it Syria or Ukraine.


Have a couple of wider boulevards going N-S and a couple going E-W, and narrow alleys crisscrossing, both at right and acute angles. Ruined buildings provide both cover and varying levels, with collapsed sections allowing land-bound mechs to get higher up. If you want longer LoS, either get up top (and get shot by everyone), or stay on the long boulevards (and get your arse flanked). Lots of space for Panthers, Urbies, and Annihilators to ambush. Throw in a couple of larger open areas to gives us spawns, and put objectives in parks and on buildings. Make it so that chasing the squirrel means getting trapped between a lance of Urbies and an Annihilator. or drawn into a boulevard where a ton of gauss and PPC fire is waiting to shred you.
