I agree, we should go back to random maps, because I can tell how a match go by the selection of the mode and map and seeing how the players set up when it start.

QP should just be skirmish on random maps.

One mode is all the majority of those players want anyhow, and at that point the map doesn't even matter.

Just put everything else into faction play, and match up drops for consecutive matches to make it more of a campaign.

I like map voting. I feel like I get a decent mix of maps and game types. I used to feel like Rubellite Oasis came up a bit too often, but lately it's been less frequent. Really no complaints here.

Random.... It might actually help gameplay by breaking up "sure thing" maps where immediate brawling is a sure thing.

Unless we have dozens if not hundreds of maps, actual variety will still be limited.

Reducing voting options will help a lot for map deversity, less options, less HPG, polar and other.

Yes get rid of voting.

I have the same favorite maps as most people, HPG, Tourmaline, Grim Plexus etc, but voting is ruining those maps for me as I have to play them way too often and sometimes several times in a row.

I want to play all maps randomly in equal proportion so I can actually feel happy when my favorites come up instead of thinking "not again!".

Map voting was always going to lead to a dull rotation of the same 3 maps. We all knew this from the start. Removing it is absolutely necessary.

Remove F6 and 90% of all that open waste of space called maps. All maps only need three grids. Spawn grid one,spawn grid two and walk into center grid to fight. Bet that sore laris will be even more boring than qp. Nuke river city's citadel and all of a sudden fighting is moved some where else.

I disagree.

Before we would regularly get mapa like forest colony even though a lot of players dont like the map. Because it isnt very popular it looses votes like 80 + % of the time. Taking away votes forces you to play on forest colony way more often. For that reason alone id already support map votes 100 %.

Mwo has some really good maps; hpg, mining, rubbelite, crimson, tourmaline, frozen city, polar.

Ppl wanne play those maps cause they are good. So they play them all the time. Mwo doesnt have many maps to begin with. But id always choose playing good maps over and iver again than beimg forced to play friggin, ugly, zero vision forest colony. Id choose that a thousand times over.

I dont wanne play **** maps.

I wanne vote so i have a say in the map choice.

Since forest colony sux i have no fun there. Cant see ****. Weird map design. Weird and specially boring cause of center boulder and ultra repetitive nascar around center boulder.

Tleast on hpg you can change elevation while nascaring. Take basement and all that. Even though its nascar too map design makes it much, much, much x 100000000000000000 times more fun.

Pro vote here all the way.

For life and forever.

Ill shoot my ppcs at every pilot going against democracy.

LONG LIVE THE HOLY VOTE

I think having to pick the game mode before being shown the map choice might be an interesting change.
Don't pick a mode and you don't get to see the map selection

Voting is needed to bury the dumpster fire known as Escort. Bad modes don't deserve to be played.
