That will be the promised "new content".

I hate these 3 maps and never take them:
CANYON NETWORK
GRIM PLEXUS
TOURMALINE DESERT

too many of them and easy defeat for potato team

[Brizna]

The best map for QP is GRIM PLEXUS, you can pick any mech and any role and have a realistic chance to not be screwed just at the LOADING screen.

Tourmaline is pretty good too, at least when they remove that horrific CHARLIE lance drop...

you’d like canyon network more if you were in the habit of mounting 4 or more jump jets. The more mobile your mech is, the more of a PLAYGROUND that map is!

The only thing that could have made this better is if Hibernal Rift was offered instead of Bog.

Next map is Rainbow Sherbert Ice City, Frozen City reskinned with colors.

Nope, too many Assault and Domination matches there devolve into whichever team spawns in the Charlie / Delta rows not near buildings goes to the 9 squares around F7 and stand there getting mowed down.

these 3 are good as maps, but always the same pattern of fight. And you cant save the bad team. If you aggressive, you ll die. If you passive - you ll die. Well its my case.

These maps noobs just smashed by veterans (esp 4 players combo), so noobs should avoid them.

I think Canyon and Tourmaline are wonderful maps. I mean for goodness sake, someone put blood sweat and tears into making those and you're really going to sit here and be so disrespectful as to say you want to get rid of them? Really?

But whoever designed Grim Plexus hates children and kicks puppies and like... steps on baby turtles... so like.... f*** that guy.... and his map.

But seriously. Plexus does kinda suck. It always devolves into the exact same fight. People hump the hill with the buildings on it, there's a few short ranged trades and then either one team makes an organized push and ends the game, or some guy tries to get his cowardly team to push, they don't, he gets mowed down and then the game snowballs, the other team realizes their number is bigger and pushes and the game ends.

Canyon and Tourmaline have room for flanks and different pushes and different places where the battle lines might be drawn. But Plexus is just "go to hill". You have to get conquest for anything else to happen.

Just now I am in TOURMALINE DESERT in a row.

First fight I did 550 dm.
Second fight 650 dm.
Third fight 490 dm.

We lost all fights, because most team do 100-200 dm.

Its a place where veterans farming noobs.

In my experience, there's not usually much you can do if you've got a bad team. Just play for yourself. If I get good damage and some kills I consider it a win. Just try to get the highest score, or highest damage in the match.

Or you know try to command the team in VC, if you're feeling particularly social...

You're right. Except when you were talking about Plexus. Plexus is awful. Plexus is the exact same thing every match, and if you don't do that exact same thing every match you are screwing over your team.

Canyon and Plexus are only as much of a problem as you make it. As much as map designs enable them, NASCAR is almost entirely a problem created by the player base. There is a large set of players who simply refuse to play any other way. The match starts, they glue their W and A key into the keyboard and it's off the races. And then there's the sheeple who have the follow the guy ahead of them regardless of the merit of the guy ahead of them, and the spin begins. And as much as the people at the back of the race scream "STOP ROTATING!", somehow it never occurred to these slow pokes to never start rotating to begin with. If you can't keep up, post up on a good spot, keep your strikes handy, and blast the first nascar yoloer that comes your way. If you play a longer ranged build, you have more opportunity to do damage before the nascar yoloers get to you. If you have a friend or two, you can focus fire and make the job that much quicker. You can always play however you like, and you can even outperform your entire team, or even both teams, all on your lonesome if you stick to your guns, but if you choose to reap the whirlwind then you get what you deserve.
