Well.... If you're a slow mech (less than 80kph) it takes forever to get to a cap point in conquest.

In my Atlas using a 320 (51 kph) it took 2.5 minutes from drop to reach a cap point taking a straight shot. Luckily, I have long range weaponry or I would have done 0 damage. By the time the teams engaged, 6 minutes were shaved off the 15 minute max time.

I know we wanted big, but if you're in a stock Assault mech moving 48kph, you are no help to your team.

Thank you sir.

All stock Assault Mechs have Longrange Weapons. btw.

If you mean: Stock Engine but i removed them for brawling... Then the Alpine Myth is about fixing some Boating Issues.

I do not understand the rampant hate for this map.
The only problem I have with it is that I have not had time to explore all of the avenues of travel yet...

Rampant hate?

Most threads that pop up about the map has a strong showing of supporters.

Given the natural negative bias of forums, the amount of support Alpine Peaks gets most likely means it is very well received.

all my multi range configs (all my configs period) work well in alpine and the others.

Scored 657 damage in a match last night in a stock 300 Atlas doing 52kph after speed tweak.

You have to position well if you want to help.

So when are super long range LRMs available for this map?

[CDLord HHGD]

First time I dropped yesterday I got Alpine and it was awesome! Need time to explore, but it's a +1 in my book.

It has to happen now, as soon as you make a post on the forum about never getting it, it's going to be alpine 16 times in a row.

Probably what he was hoping for, and not a half-bad idea. It'd be nice to see this fabled new map...

[Ashvins]

So I finally got to play on the alpine map.

I still think the randomization for the maps is broken and will keep stats til 100 matches and post them here once i'm done but at current 1 in 56 is my current rate in seeing the alpine map.
