Just for those who are not paying attention to this game, the new Alpine map is literally 2x the size of any map that exists, if not 3x. It takes the heavier Assaults a lot of time to cross the wasteland. MMOs Played: I can no longer list them all in the 500 character limit. |

And the next map will be as big if not bigger.... and a desert.
They are also working on a system that will reduce the amount of ghost-shots and synch issues. So i'd say they are making good strides. This have been a good conversation |

Ambient temp affects heat control I assume? This is the popular map for "hot" mechs? Sounds like the Designated Hitter rule....-Nearly every single bad trend in MMO development was started by the developers.--Wordiz |

No godless person can comprehend those minute distinctions |

Heck, I've been running a Cataphract loaded up to simulate a Marauder (2 PPC, 2 Medium Laser, 1 AC/5) and it does quite well indeed on Alpine. This is a map which rewards balanced builds far more than the small, brawl-friendly and claustrophobic older maps. I absolutely _LOVE_ Alpine. And it looks beautiful.
