So I have had this idea in my head for potentially two fun maps for quite some time now, but would like to see what others thoughts are on this?

Plus I couldn't find any other relevant forum topics on where to post this for devs to see as a possibility.

We know mechs are these 'huge' and heavy machinery running/stomping about the battlefield etc; however, imagine stomping or running around on a map that looks like a giant bedroom, giving the illusion that your 100t Annihilator or whatever feel like the size of an ordinary coffee mug, or your Urbanmech feel the size of a green plastic toy soldier?

The second idea was instead of a bedroom type layout, have it as a Battletech type 'actual' gaming table but still maintaining the illusion of feeling small like the actual miniatures for the tabletop game. i.e. picture actually seeing on the horizon, chairs and the edges of an actual gaming table and/or even having the hexagon terrain.

Cheers,
The Mighty MechMuffin

These are seriously good and fun ideas, but i doubt that PGI would ever add something silly like this in MWO, which does insist on being serous game. These 2 maps would have perfectly fit into some custom server games, on community servers it would be right where it should be, but in official MWO matchmaking - i don't think it would be appropriate.

Though the second idea with TT BattleTech table as a map is actually kinda cool. I think it might worth it to post these ideas on Mechwarrior Living Legends, or Living Legends 2: Armored Combat discords, such maps would fit in fan-made game much more than in MWO.

I like it, it could be something for April's fools or Christmas maybe? Not something full time for it would kill immersion. I would think some of the old maps already lend themselves for something like this, it would be a matter of adding the skin.

It makes me think of the battlefields in the Armymen videogame franchise.
