It would take YEARS before they get to user-inspired maps...lol, we only have 4 right now.

By the sound of things, we'll be at 6 mid-year, but I don't have any faith that we'll see more maps by years end, and if we do, they'll all be earth-based maps.

I think I puked a little.

I've posted ideas and suggestions for maps months ago, but it got buried.

I felt as if they would take some of the advice, but by the sound of 'alpine' and 'desert', we're not getting
anything sci-fi creative.

PGI needs new people fast.

you're aware mechs have "submarine" pods they can use for underwater excursions and fighting.

[Frater Sender]

The question is: Would the devs let the comunity make the maps? Else, we see a lot of "Hero-Mechs" bevor we see a 5th, 6th or a 7th map....

Practical yes. Technical no. They have a silicate/metal core.

Re: A Gas Giant Map.
By the time the mechs reached a density thick enough for them to walk on, they'd be completely surrounded by roughly the same density... Meaning that they'd basically have to walk through a "solid". It just wouldn't work, regardless of how many scuba tanks you try to strap onto them.

who said anything about walking?

Care to propose another means of mobility for a bi-pedal 30-100 tonne machine, while they're completely surrounded by a very dense gas?

I really hope you don't say swim.

That would be an awesome map, indeed.

I only would bomb and besiege your venus till you where disapeared.
To fight there is only expensive and it musn´t be... so, good starving my friend.
Oh, i forgot .... no water... what a mess............
Every place you will cool down for represent your legs my sensors will show me....
this will start a single bomb..... anyhow i would win.
Belive me this scenario is more for starfights in orbit not for battlemech on ground.

What if the goal is to capture a facility?

Having maps that represents battlefields would be nice........

Maps with old battlefields and decaying hulks of old mechs and other battlefield equipment. That would be badarse! I would love the moon map also.

[Typhon27]

Lot of great ideas here. I think it would be cool if any future lunar or other extra-atmospheric maps do without any sounds outside your Mech. Since sound doesn't travel in a vacuum.

What if i take it a month after your last trickle water? ....and you battlemechs and you weapons and your equipment....and your wifes, oops i prefer the fresh one...

Sorry i am a steiner. When i can spare a mech i will do it. So i will have a lot of them if i need it......
