I hope the developers seriously consider expanding Forest Colony Map when 12 vs.12 is implemented.
This map is currently too small with 16 players, let alone 24. This map would be epic if they expanded
the lake and mountainous regions along with extending the cave system. Forest Colony simply needs
more square footage. If enough people want it, maybe they will consider it! Thoughts/Opinions?

Bryan Ekman said they have no plans to do what you are suggesting. Made me sad, as I thought it would be a no brainer to do for 12v12.

PGI could always reconsider as they did for the MG.

They never said they would never change mg, but if they did change their mind on this Id be a happy panda, im guessing the rest of the map isnt actually set up properly.

not sure about 12 vs 12 but seeing as how the map sits and all those unused grid squars are there... i dont see why they cant do size variations of the current maps. This map is said to be a small map right? They could make a medium variant of this map by just extending the boarders of the map out to open up the grid squars that touch the existing map to make it medium size. And then expand it to the rest of the grid squars to make it a large map. By using the same map and adding to it to give it more size, they could effectivly reuse the same map as Forest Colony Small, Medium and Large... each size would open up more grid squars. Im sure this would be a lot easier to to by adding to the existing map than making new maps from scratch.

Im not saying dont make new maps... because we need new maps lol. But the current maps could all have size variations for more veriaty.

Yes, that's exactly what we need, more maps where a lone Spider can turn a 5 minute game it can't win into a 15 minute game it can't win.

I'd actually like to see a "forest" map with a...forest.

Large redwoods that could be used for cover and deep ravines with white water rapids.

Yay! Votes 'yes'.

If you need square footage, welcome to Alpine. When you are tired of that - welcome back!

Forest colony is a great map and would love this map expanded for 12 v 12.

The problem isn't, that Alpine is too big, the problem is, that all other maps are too small, and that most players are accustomed to it. Larger maps would result in more tactical games, rather than the usual sniper-slugfests right now. Especially on maps like Forest Colony, where PPC snipers can virtually shoot over the entire map. I'd be glad, if they change that.
