In reply to MiSs who i hope reads this. I was not reporting the other thread to be closed. I was PM'ing asking for comment.
This thread is about being able to select a map.
The other thread is about a REPEATABLE EXPLOIT/HACK that PGI seems to know about but doesn't want to fix.
If I could pick maps, or at least omit some, I would never, ever go to Alpine or Caustic Valley ever again. Seriously, **** those two maps. Take a quick look at the heat maps and you'll see those two maps have no flow at all and just converge into blobs. I pilot Assault mechs that are mainly Brawlers, so seeing those wide open maps that can take me forever to even reach the action, I just groan. Not to mention the matchmaker is pretty stupid right now. Oh yes, just put me in a match where every mech save for one is heavies and assaults with one light while the enemy team gets multiple lights that can wait until all of us are fighting and cap our base entirely unopposed.
With the pop-tarting (and LRM boating before) it feels a lot less like Mechwarrior and more like World of Tanks (SPGs = LRM boats and Pop-tarts = Tank Destroyers using Camo), and as bad as World of Tanks can get at times, at least it's matchmaker works in regards to tiers and each class of tanks. Well, now it does anyway.
