The deeper ravines, and added buildings break up the unending LRM slap fights that were the alpha and omega of the old Highlands, but it still has issues. There are geometry bug that mechs can get stuck in; invisible walls that block what looks like an open area (Nothing trying to dive your light mech into what looks like an open garage/bunker to get out of the LRM rain, only to hear grinding sound you get when hitting a wall); but most of all there are some basic imbalances in some game modes.

The first two issues I'm sure can be dealt with in a polishing pass now that the event has given the devs a thorough playtesting of the map. The last however is a bit more worrying, as the game play imbalances mostly come from the same root cause, that being the size of the map it's self. Did you bring an assault mech and this map get's voted to play Conquest? Well then you might as well just park at the first point and wait, because by the time you manage to slog all the way to the next point the resource score is already between 400 and 500. What about Assault mode, where if one fast mover with cap accelerator maxed out makes it to your base while your team was fighting a pitched battle in the middle, now even your own fast mechs can't make it back in time to stop the cap out? And then there's Domination, where the team has trouble even finding which way to go because the playing field is so large that the circle doesn't appear on the minimap due to it being too far away.

All in all the map is just too big! It needs to be reduced by 25% to 30% for any game mode other than Skirmish to be playable without issue.
