Good thread, would poll again.

[GRiPSViGiL]

I want all of these. I voted for my favs though.

Big ups to you OP. Thanks for being you and doing this.

[Phoenix Branson]

According to Paul, the next two maps involve an island city and a moon base (AtD 44).

My recommendation:

Map: Quentin Independence Weaponry Factory
Mode: Raid
Objective Alpha: Destroy X amount of mechs in production
Objective Bravo: Defeat all raiders

Balancing might take some work...

Thanks for the idea. Anyone else have any good ideas for some map concepts?

[Sierra A90]

Make all of these and the map selection will be perfect.

[Thorolf Kylesson]

I would like to see is more enviroments that can damage or destroy a mech. Hazards you have to avoid and random ones.

[D1al T0ne]

Out of pure selfish, self interest the vast majority of players will pick anything that sounds cold in order to have more chances to cram every hot weapon in the game onto their mechs.

That's just how this will always play out statistically.

[CrimsonOmega]

I want Solaris!!! Some crowd effects like in MW Living Ledgends would be cool =D

Great topic, was fun. So many great choices is tough to choose. Went for the sci-fi maps mostly and the giant forest and deserts.

Already posted this, but the space platform idea, except with two opposing capital ships passing each other in a broadside like fashion. And then the mechs are trying to board each others ships using jump jets. Since low gravity, they could make the jump and it would be a good idea to bring jump jets, unless for defense.

Mech factory map, an indoors map with blind turns and dead ends, powered areas(light area) and black out areas. This map would be ideal for some lost tech loot also. Could feature a half working machine of some sort, or old mech on a lift and so on.

If I could vote other well. I would like to see a bit of a mash up. Redwood forest with a long abandoned and overgrown urban area. With buildings overgrown with foliage that have large enough damaged spaces for 'Mechs to move through and hide in. Streams running down eroded alleyways into a subway system beneath partially collapsed streets. (Could not actually enter the subway) Boggy park, square or Quad that spills into some nearby buildings. Would need to be a large map with a solid mix of heavily wooded and very mixed elevation urban areas. Environmental effects could include shifting mists and/or clinging fog limited to certain parts of the map.

My old suggestion from the first page. Inspired by the Thorin University ruins described in Measure of a Hero with a dash of the ruins of Bealton on Odessa from Call of Duty. (No relation to the video game franchise)

I have to say my three least favorite ones are:
Event Horizon: If you are close enough to observe it with the naked eye you are already dead.
Space Platform: Space stations are rarer than jumpships and both are too valuable and too delicate for the kind collateral damage 'Mechs throw around.
Underwater Ruins: Hull breaches, no balistics, shortened energy ranges, reduced movement speeds, and torpedoes. 'Mechs die really fast underwater.

I am ambiguous on Cloud City. I know there are floating cities in the BT universe, I am just not sure if any of them are airborne.

You still always come up with the most interesting map concepts Maverick. I did have to change my Marshes vote to Deep Cavern, there is just too much potential for all kinds of combat mayhem and terrain shenanigans.

Updated vote choices:
Deep Cavern
Badlands
Jungle Station
Redwood Forest
Biodome
Stormfront Farm
Tropical Island (this one has good potential for a little underwater combat if it gets big enough)
Jungle Palace
Nuclear Wasteland
Mountain Base
Outpost Colony
Solaris Arena (having all five Class Six arenas to choose from would be epic though Boreal Reach could be substituted by any map considering its adaptive nature)

New map poll #5 added to OP.

edit: You may need to redo your previous polls to participate. Thanks for taking the time. Please remember, the developers are watching (tell them what you want)!

Soo, Ive heard the first 10 map concepts of this vote are going to be Implemented... no...

But I realy hope so.

[Johnny Z]

Adding this idea from another topic.

Treasure Hunt


A ship that had been carrying valuable cargo has crash landed. 2 or 3 teams show up to acquire the prize.

First team to get the cargo and then return to their drop ship evac point wins.

[Mad Dog Morgan]

Any ETA on the first new map from the poll?

Think less what we will get and more show the devs what ideas we are interested in and that is the purpose of this poll. I do wish it would be pinned again.

Agree. Best topic i have seen ever, i think, seriously. Alot of fun and saved alot of the pics and am using one for desktop now.
Was in on the largest topic on this forum i think, nearly 250 pages long and this one deserves more attention really. I dont need to say it, but well done OP.

[Zanathan]

Love the additional maps in poll #5! Those images are amazing.

Seriously if we could get only a handful of these I'm sure most of us would be pretty darn happy.
