I understand it'll be huge, but from this screenshot of Pretty Ugly Baby, it appears the map will be another forest colony or frozen city.

What do you think? of course I could be wrong, and I hope I am, but from the 'stuff' behind the mech it appears to be fairly bland. Obviously another 'Earth' map.

Let the flaming begin!

They should have went with the desert map first.

This is yet another map with snow added in to game.

Such a necessary thread. I congratulate you. Have you ran out of things to discuss?

[SUBZERO8K]

Can we at least play it before judging it off of one screenshot that represents a miniscule fraction of the map?

Thank you.

I think you are trying to read too much from an extreme lack of actual information.

The map will be awesome.

or

The map will be bad.

or

The map will be mediocre.


Of that I'm certain!

[InsaneWolf]

whats the point in judging a map by a screenshot?

[Spot]

How can you assume anything by that tiny bit you got from that picture?

I certainly cant.

My first thought is I'm saving up for the snow board module. Seriously does that not look like a ski resort in the backround. I suppose even warriors will fight to defend their place of choice for relaxation. I can't wait for this. I used to look forward to Friday's for the usual reasons. Now my weeks are about, come on Tuesday!

Well, obviously since in Battletech you tend to fight over planets that have been terraformed or have huge amounts of easy resources. Terraformed AND resources = fight over. So the majority of our fights will be on 'Earth' maps.

As much new the op brings to the table you sure enhance it with the crap you just scrawled on your keyboard.


On topic.
I would like to see this map butted up against another map, maybe we could get a larger map by combining a few in the same region. Like caustic valley being a region in the desert map and frozen city be a region in the alpine map.

My favorite threads are the ones that whine about things that are not even in game. It means they are reaching a balance with current issues.

Honestly .... you will be able to play the map in about an hour. LetÄs delay the discussion until then.


Besides, I'd love a Jungle map with crazy vegetation.
But unless we get destructible environment I am generally unhappy with the maps.

Phys-X !!!

There should be zero posts in this thread as no one has seen the map yet... Why is everyone so dumb?

[PoLaR]

Trust me,

This map is gonna be good

[Icebound]

From the amount of time it takes them to put out maps, they should all be amazing and have zero bugs. That said, they should start randomly generating them or let users submit their own maps for approval.

A shot of what appears to be a base behind the Awesome-that-shall-not-be-named is entirely fitting with the fact that usually when a base is made in a forest a swath is cleared to build the base. I am waiting to see it in full to see if it's an actual forest.

Battlefields are never inspiring. It's what happens there that makes them insipring.

The woods in Belgium from the battle of the bulge are just that.. Woods.

It's inspiring because of what happened there.
