Bring back the sun on Forest Colony. The map looked amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Redshift2k5]

+1

Weather variance on forest (sunny one drop, cloudy the next) would be a good compromise

Also, I'm sure there was an ice cream van in there too ?

There was, but it got nerfed for running to cool.

If we're going to do the 'many variants of each map' thing, then a sunny pleasant version of Forest Colony filled with flowers and bunny rabbits should be a thing.

And they should use the Footprint thing they have for snow maps to show how your mechs are ruining the place.

yes please, that map is just so murky.

What's sun? We live in the west coast, the sun is a myth.

The snowy version is definitely one of My favorites right now.
As for the pea soup version, at least for Me, one of the problems is not just the poor visibility in normal view, but thermal and light amped aren't much help, either. If you go thermal, you can see your opponents, but the terrain (cliffs, ground, structures) disappear to black, so you end up walking into walls or misjudging distances. In light-amped, everything goes black, even in the caves.

But yeah, whenever I drop into Forest Colony Snow, I go "AHH YEEEEAAAAHHHH!". Of course, I carry a guass rifle, so maybe I'm a little biased.

Snowy Forest Colony is awesome! I also like the wrecked cargo ship added to the original map, very nice!

Of course I am still waiting for a rainforest/tropical jungle/swamp map, with dinos! Atlas vs T-rex! But seriously, Give us some bad *** bush!

[Majorfatboy]

Heh heh. I live in southeast Wisconsin, we get a lot of days like that this time of year.
I know that feel, bro.

Looks like mid summer over here, except dryer.

I honestly don't know how you guys live out there. In the south we're all solar powered (with beer supplements for nights and cloudy days).

Will that be the next map? Looks amazing! Are those buildings destructable?

I thought we get a desert setting, but this will do fine.

Yes yes you did add a cheery snow version Brian.

But you know. Forrest Colony Standard, frankly looks terrible. It looked AMAZING back in closed beta when it was sunny and daylight. With a light rain happening. Now, now it just looks like, frankly crap.

And maybe that's the intention... but even if it is, FC used to be many players favorite map, and I know I heard a lot of complaints about it after the change, we just grunted and moved on, because the map is certernly still playable. And FC is still a fun map... but really, it just feels too much like you guy's threw a ton of filters onto it to make it look "SPACE GRIMDARK!" for the sake of it.

Please... bring back how it used to look. [I'm fine with the ship crash by the way, awesome addition.]

there was, but they refused to open me a tab and demanded i paid the ice cream up front.
A very dangerous think to demando to a guy in a fully armed Atlas.
