Just make sure they're big! No more assault bases <1km away from eachother!

Definitely the Space -Based maps, Metropolis and Biodome. (in that order)

Firestorm one would be pretty cool aswell, but priority to the Uber-Scifi themes maps

Metropolis and Biodome would be cool maps for MWO!

Oh good.
I was wondering how the heck I was supposed to 'report' a thread. The button at the bottom of each post?

Either way, moot question now -- TY, Ego!


On topic:
After PGI has finished making the maps they've already planned, I hope they take suggestions on layouts from the players. The layouts have been fine so far, but I'd love a map where we fight inside an enormous hangar, for example.

How can I get this thread pinned?

[Zanathan]

Yes! I was trying to look for this thread after the restructure and couldn't find the darn thing. Thanks.

Nice to see a great thread after a while albeit one of an older date.

Have you thought of adding more bunches with their own polls to the topic? Or would it delete the results of the current polls? You have quite an array there, but there are still more possibilities like Star League fortresses, flying cities (not just fantasy, it's canon, really ), starports, et cetera. Don't get me started on Solaris arenas.

[Golfin Man]

I basically like the idea of all of them, although Firestorm and Event Horizon need to be in the game

Some cool pictures and ideas here!

Thanks Niko!
Maybe a few of these map concepts could to given to the Level Designers.

Space platform would increase the amount of people playing duck hunt at the start of every match .

[Phoenix Branson]

New map concepts have been added in poll 3:

Jungle Palace
Underwater Ruins
Spaceport Facility
Nuclear Wasteland

Please note, you may need to redo polls 1 & 2 in order to do poll 3. Thanks for taking the time.

[Dexter Herbivore]

I want all of them. Great concept art and pictures chosen for them btw, they all look pretty.

While I love the look of all of these, an honest critique along the lines of what the devs would probably say:


Icy Moon, Metropolis, Mining Colony, Asteroid Base, Lunar Observatory - we've either gotten them or something like them since this thread began, or have been promised them in the next few releases.



Dustbowl, Firestorm, Underwater Ruins, Space Platform, Stormfront Farm - fun ideas, but unlikely until PGI starts putting dynamic elements and altered gravity into the game, which they aren't close to doing yet.



Event Horizon, Ancient City, Biodome, Jungle Palace, Planetary Rings - Devs are likely to be concerned with actual gameplay rather than just the visual features, and these suggestions seem to revolve mostly around eye candy (which could just as easily go into more fleshed-out map concepts). Also, all but Planetary Rings strike me as unrealistic scenarios for human colonization and/or Mech combat.



Aerospace Hangar, Marshes, Jungle Outpost, Spaceport Facility - INCREDIBLY detail-oriented, far more so than current maps. Don't see stuff like this happening until further down the road.



Green Valley, Redwood Forest, Castle Mountain - slightly boring/redundant for a MW game (no offense)



The remaining candidates I voted for:

Deep Cavern: Ehhh, why not.

Badlands: I like this because it reminds me of the wide-open MW2 scenarios, and because the openness would minimize cover and basically create a refreshing deathmatch game mode without needing to program it. I know PGI wanted terrain-based maps to eliminate circle-strafing, but why not have a change of pace?

Red Planet: Sandstorm element and red shift would be awesome.

Tropical Island: Everyone needs to get away once in a while.

Nuclear Wasteland: Now THIS would be an iconic BT location just begging for a story. Takes me back to the MW3 opening cinematic.



Also important to remember that a zero-atmosphere environment in sunlight would not be "very cold" as far as a Mech was concerned. It would actually be "very hot" because there's no air to dissipate heat. It'd be Tourmaline/Caustic times three.

Woohoo!

[MCXL]

My god these pictures are good.

My main problem with MWO right now as a player is over familiarity with the maps. I want ALL OF THESE!

I would love to see the Red Planet in MWO!

[VXJaeger]

I don't care as long as temperatures stay moderate or below it. If not, I'll play them anyway.

I think this poll would be much better if you asked more specific topics. As too many of those maps are too similar in nature that it would make it too hard for the devs to pick an easy winner.

What general setting do you like? (Asteroid, Underground, Space, etc)

What Temperature do you like (Hot, Cold, Temperate, Mixed, extremes)

Like what terrain do you like? (Mountain, Lakes, Cliffs, Badlands)

What Weather do you like? (Stormy, Fog, Clear, rain, Acid rain(dmg), Volcanic ash)

What type of features do you like(City, Lost bases, Drop ships, Towers, Suburban, Lone buildings, etc)

What day/night cycle do you perfer (Day/Night/Evening(dusk)/Sunrise)?

Other types of questions as well, this would allow then allow the developers to better determine what types of maps the user base is looking for.

Redwood Forest: Planet Moon of Endor. How awesome of a map would that be?!
