Indeed!

One of the better maps too with lots of terrain differences and no easy way to nascar that favors jj mechs. Fights tend to end up being brawl fests with jj mechs running the flanks. The only mode thats a bit problematic is conquest since the routes to each cap can favor one spawn over another and some of the caps can only be easily reached by jj mechs since the ground pounder path to them can be long and winding.

Wait...there's A New Map?

Hellebore Outpost




Yes, there is this active thread Hellebore Outpost First Impressions in which you can discuss this new map.

Personally I find that Hellbore Outpost is a beautiful map

I'd love to see it, only people keep voting for the same maps we've had for the last decade rather than try something new...

That's funny. I've played Hellbore enough this month that I'm kind of sick of it already. It's a great map but to me it seems like it and Canyon are all people have been voting for.

I always vote for the new map, usually on principle. For New Caustic it was a matter of hold-my-nose and vote so I can learn it. But I really LIKE Hellebore Outpost, so I vote for it eagerly.

Doesn't always work, though. I seem to be playing a lot more Solaris City in the past few weeks than I ever wanted to. =P

On flat maps people tell me to not stray alone out in the wasteland but there's nothing out there since even if the map is big it ends up into a narrow corridor. Hellebore is that narrow corridor and it works well into nascar with heavier mechs punching smaller mechs into the walls. Jumpjet mechs gets a boost while the heavier mechs still go for snowball, or rather say they are now stuck in place for anyone to exploit it. Now suddenly you need more than 1 jumpjet and lighter builds takes play.
