Hello all,
When the map/Mode screen comes up I have noticed I tend to pick what mode I want to play and then decide on map. My logic is I try avoid certain maps, think Incursion(?) map, then try to pick map that would work best with my mode choice. For instance I like playing Conquest on Polar Highlands, large map with room to move around as I generally play mechs with long range weapons.
Just curious how others select Map and Mode.
Looking forward to posts, Thanks.

Well, I would say it is like this:
1) When I am running some specialized build (short-range brawler, for my example), then my priority is to avoid some map(s) (Polar Highlands or Alpine Peaks) in favor of desired maps (Solaris City).
2) When I am running some universal build (that can work on any map), then I concentrate on voting to get the preferred game mode.

Agreed. Some mechs avoid certain maps like the plague... LRMs on Solaris, AC/20's on Polar Highlands...
I usually play generalist builds until I've racked up a x4 multiplier or more, and only THEN will i switch to a specialist like my 2xSNPPC+AC/20 Warhammer. Because dropping on Polar Highlands with that fellow is not the most fun...

Most of the time I don't choose map or mode, I just let the match happen. Makes me work harder for my ms if I end up running a sub-optimal build for the map and/or mode, but that works for me.

Meh. I pick the map, then the mode, then do as best I can. Ideally, you'd be able to pick your 'mech AFTER the map and mode, so you could bring a load out best suited for your map.

Neither it should be random and we get no choice.. It somewhat stops the same map over and over.
Same i'm usually surfing the net at that point.

That would be a problem for new players who lack a wide selection of 'Mechs.
Imagine that Solaris City is selected. All veteran players pick their 'Mechs with massive short ranged alphas. A new player deploys in his only 'Mech.
Isn't the current system better? Everybody (both a green player and a MWO veteran) deploys in his pre-selected 'Mech and must utilize it as good as he can.

I pick the mode
Then depending on which one is in front with a few seconds to spare...
I pick the map that best suits that mode.
