Which SolarisArena map are you most looking forward to?

Which two of the following maps are you most looking forward to? Give us your votes!


============================


SA_Frostbite

A remake of the popular map from MechWarrior 4, SA_Frostbite sees the Inner Sphere fight the Clans between snow and ice, between rocky valleys and sky-high glaciers. While generally very wide and open and therefore place where long-range Mechs feel at home, there are several industrial complexes, caves in rocks and other places where battle armor could seek shelter to provide targets with TAG lasers or even prepare ambushes.

Day-Night-Cycle confirmed? No



   
SA_PalaceGates

Another remake of a map from MechWarrior 4, SA_PalaceGates has Clans and Inner Sphere battle for superiority in fairly moderate climate. Green meadows and small upheavals coin the face of this map, which is of a very wide and very open nature.

Day-Night-Cycle confirmed? Yes



   
SA_Extremity

Located on an asteroid in outer space, SA_Extremity intends to do its name justice. Inner Sphere and Clans will fight till the bitter end in this barren and hostile place, where frozen lakes as well as geysirs of boiling steam exist. This asteroid's rocky and devastated surface offers hiding places small enough for battle armor and others large enough for smaller Mechs and vehicles, which opens whole new tactical dimensions.

Day-Night-Cycle confirmed? No, not happening either



   
SA_Sandblasted

On SA_Sandstorm, the Inner Sphere and the Clans are fighting for domination in a very hot and dry climate. Pyramids and decayed pillars might resemble the remnants of ancient egypt architecture. Palm trees, dunes and oases at least offer some concealment, if not cover, while random sandstorms reduce the visibility on this map temporarily to less than 50m. While generally very wide and open, the derelict architecture and natural obstacles make this place an interesting combat ground not only for vehicles with long-range weapons.

Day-Night-Cycle confirmed? Yes



   
SA_Inferno

Located around an active volcano, SA_Inferno is probably the most unforgiving map in the current line-up of MechWarrior: Living Legends. The lifeless surface, consisting of nothing but barren rock, is being torn apart by rivers of  liquid and hot lava that could make every step your last. While officially the Inner Sphere and the Clans will be fighting for domination in this hostile environment, nature might have some say in this matter as well. 

Day-Night-Cycle confirmed? No



   
SA_Marshes

The main area of action on this map is an airstrip with several buildings around it. As its name suggests, SA_Marshes is a place of marshes and swamps, of very limited visibility, much water, weeping willows and hot, steamy atmosphere. In addition to the concealment that the limited visibility offers, a number of buildings and natural obstacles like small hills make up excellent places for ambushes by vehicles as well as battle armor.

Day-Night-Cycle confirmed? Yes

[AoP]

So you only voted for one? Two votes per user

SA_Sandblasted
SA_Inferno

My two favs. 

Of course, if I could have a third, I'd say Palace Gates.



(Of course, I am only assuming...)

[Whiplash]

Frostbite and sandstorm, I rape hardcore on both.

[DigitalStef]

Palace gate, to capture the capital! xD

[Stormin']

I chose Frostbite (one of my favorite mw4 maps) and Inferno, because they are the two extremes.  I didn't realize they didn't have the day/night cycles ready before my vote though, and I was really looking forward to that.  Still, not sure if I would change the vote.

If anyone happens to be in a photo-happy mood sometime, I would really appreciate environmental screenshots of each of these maps WITHOUT combat going on or mechs, etc., in the shot...like a photo of one of the most distinguishing things about that map.  I need these for Lance Command, and it's something I had just planned on getting after the release...but if someone is feeling generous it would help getting things up earlier.  Thanks!

SA_Sandblasted

[edit: count my vote on Sandblasted for twice a vote ]

[Tiger842]

I also chose Frostbite and Inferno. Extremity would be a close 3rd.

I really love the variety in all of these maps, and hope to see all of em in the beta.

I need 4 votes 

Palace Gates and Frostbite for the nostagia pure and simple
They have always been 2 of my favourite MW4 maps so i am looking forward to the MW:LL remakes

From the new maps Sandstorm and Inferno look awesome and cant wait to play

[Stahlseele]

Extremity and Inferno.
I hope for some low graw on extremity, maybe low floating rocks in the air. even if it's the cursed purpple <.<
and inferno just looks like hell on earth, which somehow fits my mind right now.

We've been discussing this a bit as well, the use of general level shots for the calendar. However, we've agreed that there's not much point in releasing shots of something that's still very much subject to change - which is true for all of the maps at this time. While the general theme for all of these maps is set, the layout and design of specific 'landmarks' might still change.

I'm torn between marshes and inferno, but I think inferno will have to take it

By "No" next to Day-Night cycle confirmed, it simply means that the map is currently not set up with a day-night cycle but might in the future.  For instance Sandblasted didn't used to have a day-night cycle but now it does.

[(TLL) Heretic]

Inferno (sooo cool) and Gatorbait......ahem....Marshes (although we haven't seen too much of that map yet)
