Anyone that play MWO knows that QM are the most popular game mod, yet somehow the Devs seams to forget that customer is king and keep making maps for Invasion, anyone knows it failed why waste time on that?.

still the QM needs to be random again and integrate back some of the olds maps back in like forest colony the "old map" their is no reason to have maps of 10 KM large when most people play Meta anyway this create twice the amount of maps and randomness.

Huh? Last map they made was Rubellite, which is QP map.

As for bringing back the old tiny maps, I am all for it, as long as 8v8 is also back, to replace 12v12. Oh wait I remember, let's not bring the old Forest Colony. Worst visuals in a map, with all the damn fog, and gameplay in that map was super bad as well. In fact, the new Forest Colony is pretty bad too, despite the size increase.

I'd like to have some old maps back for variety (The new ones play vastly different rather than being just being bigger versions), but where do you see the devs making new maps for invasion?

The latest map was QP, and the upcoming one will be QP too. There has been no new Invasion map for ages.

12v12 was the problem for old smaller maps. I would be perfectly happy myself if they put back the older maps, maybe with a couple tweaks, and when you click QP you sometimes end up in a 12v12 and you sometimes end up on a smaller map in an 8v8.

That would add a feel of variety and also cut down on the boring repetition of the most common maps.

Isn't that there's an urban map incoming?

i not see a problem with a 12/12 drop on the old maps like they used to be.

I like the direct you folks are going. I have a suggestion for a new match mode called Vanquish. Please help me get PGI to implement it.

Map voting is a joke, exploited by trolls with their 8 x multiplier to send us to escort on polar again and again and again!

The last couple of days I had to choose between escort and incursion so often, I got some permanent brain damage.

Today I played Le Bog for the first time in weeks.

Save brawling by having smaller maps that force the action sooner and not allow long range lazer pokers to hide at 1500m

Old Frozen City was pretty brawl friendly. Its one glaring flaw was the horrible spawn position for one of the lances.

Yeah that's why I mentioned 'old maps with a few tweaks'. In general I enjoyed them, but a number of them had that one glaring flaw...


Edit: Just noticed an old Reddit link with videos on the old maps, and a quickie survey. Seems about 80% plus want some version of old maps back.

https://www.reddit.c..._maps_old_maps/


As mentioned, this should be available at least for private lobbies (I don't private lobby so no idea if they were ever added), but for QP I see this as popping up as maybe 1 match in 6, where instead of the normal 12v12 maps you get a map selection of 3, 8v8 maps (the old ones, maybe one or two of the smaller new ones). When you see those maps in the vote list, you know it will be an 8v8 match.

I like many of the new maps but miss the old ones especially Forest Colony Snow and Terra Therma.

I'd appreciate it if they made Forest Colony a little less Forest and a little more Colony. The lack of structures on that map irritates me. It's little more than a campground in a massive forest.

Maybe he just means that all the maps available for QP are also available in Invasion, but there are several Invasion-only maps... I can't imagine any other way his comments make sense.
