One does not simply lagshield into Mordor.

That's what orcs on Worgs do! They've got Lagshield, ECM, and good hitboxes!

[Ashnod]

I want them all... Hahahahahahha

Space Platform. I love how you chose a picture with shitloads of ECM ships...

Stormfront Farm and Dustbowl look nifty. Fighting in inclimate conditions is something I always find fun. Wading into a firestorm not so much. More than a few tales in lore about how a unit has used fire to their advantage. Fighting in one is the last thing most 'Mechwarriors want.

WildFire sounds crazy. High heat and low visibility due to smoke.

I love the thought about fighting through a hurricane or duststorm.

[Adran]

Though I didn't vote for them, I'd want Dustbowl and Stormfront Farm both too. Why can't we just magically have these maps now?

This is nice, but the devs will lock your thread when they realize you have better ideas. You may get banned.

A new minor poll has been added to OP (5 new concepts to vote on).

Sorry, you may need to delete your original vote to vote again in both polls.

Space Platform would be awesome. Anyone using Jump Jets would go hurtling through space and die from being out of bounds.

And as a brawler, I would really like the low visibility of Dustbowl and the heavily urbanized terrain of Metropolis.

That would be funny seeing a mech float away helplessly as they use jump jets.

[Kotsuno]

Not sure, I just found suitable pictures for my map concepts.

Remember vote for your five favorites and then vote for everything else. Checkbox supremacy.

The new map concept "Event Horizon" reminds me of this video; now let's talk about IMMENSE power...

For the second poll I chose Tropical Island and Event Horizon.

Tropical island theme would just be a pleasant map to play on. Not everything has be a post apocalyptic wasteland. Why can't we just have a nice sandy beach?

At the same time, being on the edge of a black hole would make for a dramatic scene without all the haze and crap from other maps. My favorite representation of a Black Hole was from an episode of Doctor Who. They managed to make it both beautiful and ominous.
