River city has plenty of flanking opportunities.
Rubbish mate.
Let's see your options, you can flank PAST the container ship and be stuck in the water unless you have jump jets because the only way up is RIGHT past the ship. A runner cannot get onto land anywhere else. Or on that same side going the other way you can flank onto a beach with one solitary rock for cover, meanwhile the enemy has LOS into the water. Or go down the loading docks and get blasted no matter which way you're coming. OR on the OTHER SIDE you can flank into a spaceport, with a few buildings for cover and then absolutely nothing or on the other side flank over, be forced to turn left and have like 3 main streets to turn down and nothing else.
And what about actual map size. I ran my Cicada at 130kph down the breadth of the map in the middle on a few different maps, how long did it take me?
On River City from the Dam to just past the container ship, it took about 51 seconds
On Frozen City from the wall to just past the mouth of the river, it took about 66 seconds
On Polar Highlands from one side to the other it took about 160 seconds.
And heck, even on HPG Manifold going from the mouth of one door to the opposite door it took me 51 seconds. The map is narrower as you have to go around a few walls at the doors and underneath but in terms of breadth it is not much smaller than River CIty.
River City is TINY. The areas where you flank across the river are all garbage, either too wide open, or too restrictive in movement. A mech in the middle of one side can cover the entire river. There is much more room in the back areas of River City but people don't go there except to run, or to spawn. Worst map in the Quick Play hands down.
