Also if the new one is so good how come so few people vote for it?
New Canyon got voted like crazy in the first week after release and it didn't take an event to do that, New Polar was difficult to get into after the first few hours after release.

I don't dislike it per se but I see no reason at all to not have the old Polar in rotation.

Please stop asking for the classic (i.e. worse) versions of maps to stay in the game.

I'm for all the maps. We have had the same maps forever. A new one doesn't need to take the place of any old ones.

I do not vote for new polar and never will. Aesthetically and tactically, it is a nightmare, with center that channels the team into tight killzones. Much like Solaris, but slightly cooler. There is no point for this map's existence.

It's a good map, learn to adapt to the fact that it's actually got terrain you have to play around now rather than just being a step above gm_flatgrass.

Long range mechs should hold the tops of the mountains, while the mid-short range mechs should push up with the new, long requested cover to hold the circle or help dislodge anyone holding the mountaintops. I've had success both brawling and sniping on this map - you should be using the new event to learn the map rather than just whining about how "bad" it is on the forums.

aesthetically it's a nightmare and with the game already being really behind on visuals, I refuse to lower my standards even further.
make the map visually appealing, work on textures, use paths, roads, snow groomer tracks etc, stop re-using the same white colored rock asset for verticals that sticks out like a sore thumb over and over again, add some transitions between the rocks and the snow and not just surfaces hitting at almost 90°, use some logic when it comes to snow drifts and snow accumulation, add some life to the central base like the smaller bases already have and I am willing to vote for the map

If you refuse to play a map because it's not pretty, then your priorities are skewed so hard they've done a full 360 spin. Gameplay always, always, ALWAYS comes first, and making polar fun to actually play was the priority. If Francois wants to go ahead and give it a visual do-over later I won't complain, but again - Gameplay comes first.

Hell, back in the tf2 and CS:S days people would play on maps that were naught but devtextures 24/7 because the maps themselves were fun.

The new map is a good map, its a fun map to play you don't see cars and little things on any snow maps, because in real snow areas you don't see them, sorry I grew up in the snow

that said I want to keep any and all maps , I want all the Classics back, More is better maybe a few more maps on the voting screen, maybe 8 maps to choose from?

Classic canyon was my favorite map, and now we all know all the complaints of the old map are just as valid on the new, bring it back as a classic also

[FinnMcKool]

ok ok
my bad
but it still a fun map and these guys worked hard to get it out, be a little grateful

that said plz bring back older maps,,,,,,,,, may be a weekend event thing or something????

No.
Apparently people want the map back and especially with New Polar being a completely different map now, the only similarities being the snow, this is a legitimate request.

a handful of people on the forums does not represent the general "people" of the population.

I can guarantee you more often than not people could care less about LRMs, truthfully, let alone having to deal with that soggy waffle of a original map design no less.

[FinnMcKool]

well it just goes to show you

Some people aren't Happy

unless

They aren't Happy

And so many people who are sure everyone feels and thinks exactly like they do (or if the majority makes something right)

Id rather be alone and be my self than to be in the mob chucking stones at the guy
they disagree with.

what ever happened to the individualist ?
