The River City exclusive is now live on GameTrailers.com! Nestled within a coastal valley, River City, ravaged by war, is the first urban setting map for MechWarrior Online. From stealth scouting to long range support and right down to all out brawling, players will find areas in River City that suit their needs. The river itself, spanned by two bridges, divides the city into two opposing sides. A fortified citadel dominates the centre of the city and players will fight for control of two key sites: a space port high on a plateau and a crucial industrial port facility on the ocean shoreline. Surrounding the city are hillsides that are still in conflict and the odd airstrike and artillery barrage can still be seen off in the distance. Pools of fire and rubble throughout the city drive home the point that the pristine condition of the city is now just a remnant memory of the past.

We hope you enjoyed watching it! Cheers, The MechWarrior Online Team

Looks amazing! Cool urban map.

Wasn't River City a map name in the much hated MechAssault titles?

[Ironhawk]

Superb map! Can't wait to fight in it! Excellent job as always PGI!!

[Jack Corban]

This Map is the best we've seen so far.

This makes me feel bad for using a building as cover, knowing that they were once the homes and livelyhood of people.

Nice. But why crushed city again? Why not a big normal city with many-many big structures that we can destroy in battle?

[Taleros]

Nice map can't wait to play it .

Can't view video.. it won't buffer/load at all.

Please return to Youtube releases for these.. when you make a video exclusive to a third party and that third party decides to use some proprietary video player.. there's going to be some people who can't see the video as a result of this. So if the plan is to get the word out to more people by giving the exclusive rights of showing the video to those third parties.. that's great and all.. but if I can't view the video, then I'm sure there are others that can't either.

WOW.

My jaw is freaking dropped! That is an unexpectedly damn good looking map! Really looks like it conveys the sense of scale! Kudos to PGI for the attention to detail we crave so much seems to be there in spades.

[Tennex]

look really great. this was really a missing piece of the puzzle to complete a mechwarrior experience

[Biomatter]

That video is awfully yellow.... *cough cough*

>_>

I'm just going to put this out there. But letting GameTrailers have an "exclusive" is stupid and hurts your ability to promote your game. Just saying.

[Grendel408]

Love the map... however your choice in the video host was bad... quality was low... even when selecting their "HD" mode... it only stayed in "HD" for maybe 10+ seconds then reverted back to it's nasty pixel form... Can we just stick with youtube? plz? lol

Gotta milk that money.

Why are these press videos always so ****** quality? The couple of beta leaks from people have been WAY better and represented the game nicely.

[Hrungnir]

Anyone else notice the new music? Maybe a taste of the upcoming soundtrack?

[Bata]

Love the PPC blasts.

[M4NTiC0R3X]

I love this map.. By far my favorite map. I love a good close up dog fight!

Mono - e - mono, MEEE VS YOOOUU!


Edit: Figured I'd come back to say it is quite a sight to see, everything is very detailed GREAT JOB!

I don't think we have any light mechs announced that have a city combat specialty.
Though I spotted something awfuly round near the end...[・∀・]
