the map is literally quite fresh in it's newest installment;

I'd say give people some weeks in QP to adjust or whatever and take a look back, then.
I had the map 2 times yesterday and both matches where VERY static.
but I can't really judge if that's because of map=new or tier=5 after re-install.

we'll have to wait & see. anyway: here's hoping for some serious polar highland changes.

Couldn't fully assess this map, because when I encountered it, it was extremely bugged. May be because shader cache wasn't reset. Textures, floating in the air, missing textures, etc. What I forgot to say, is that central mountain was very important thing. Yeah. It was anti-snipe/LRM. It allowed us to get close to enemies without being LRMed till death. It was good for brawling. We will miss it.

Will actually disagree. Previous Canyon

- Had too many people trying to climb walls they should not with non-JJ Mechs. The amount of times I saw Heavies and Assaults trying to get up unclimbable areas was sad, even the few climbable spots you had to know how to zig-zag to get up but they did not know that. All the ramps mostly fix that problem.

- Nascar did happen especially in Domination that was centered on the central rock formation now gone, not sure if they kept the same circle location as not played so far.

- Assault would suck especially when teams rotated around center so the enemy caps your base and you cannot stop it without going through the whole enemy team.

- Conquest, same **** every time.

Will not be able to see how it has changed for a while due to RL issues preventing gaming at all but will be reading for now.

I did note one whole row where no ramps were added, not sure how that will play out.

I've had a few more games on it now and it was lurma[Redacted]geddon way too much of the time. Now I'll have to learn new places to find cover, damn you all.

Got bad news for you. The nascar conga line now extends in the side canyons and they run laps around the whole map. Or just camp on the ramp that is now similar to hibernal rift but without the cover on top - so they get sniped and lurmed to death.

Because nobody wants to expose themselves to the top where is no cover. The builder should have just left those 2 rocks up there and add ramps.

You think Canyon limits nascar?

Is your screen name a reference to Elway?
