The new layout for inferno is just incredible, the map really has a solid volcanic feel and is just fun, along with running smoother on my slightly older rig than the previous version.

The increased rock piles near mains on Clearcut are a great improvement. Didn't get to play a full round.

Wasn't watching the terrain enough on the short time I played the swamp map to notice changes.

Only had time to play two rounds on Inferno and partials for Clearcut and the swamp map so far, but very impressed.

Can't agree more. I suggest a new name for it: SA_Mordor (sole mountain)  :P

Oh hell I love this dark setting and the new -really clever- layout! Awesome work!   :)

And the 'new' SA_Clearcut is damn impressive and playable. Great performance boost!

Only had a chance to play Inferno and wish to tell the map creator (s); you have improved that map one thousand fold. I had stopped playing it alltogether before but after last nights adventure it is back in my rotation again. It's easier to navigate, more room, better visuals, more tactical and somewhat smoother. Good job!

Just fyi on the new Inferno, there's a bug that limits the ceiling to 600m . Very annoying for VTOLs, but forces them to play more like gun ships than fast blimps.

I'm glad everyone is liking the map updates. the 600m ceiling thing is known and will most likely be fixed with the next update.

new inferno is the only one i've seen so far.  but i'm liking it, i used to alt-F4 previously when i saw inferno loading, now its a good map and stick around.  can't wait to try the other ones.

 :o NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Its perfect. The sky is for Aeros IMO...

But you call new Inferno an update? Isn't it more total new map (total new layout) with the same setting (volcano area)?

I too love the new map designs, especially Extremity and Inferno.  I really like the spawn points on Inferno the most.  If all the maps had this type of spawn ( the exit tunnels from out of the hangers ), it might help protect from the Longtom barrages at the hanger doors.  Although, with the exception of Sandblast and Marsh, all the maps seem to lack signature landmarks.   Sandblast has left and right pyramids. Marsh has the abandoned dropship.  Extremity has  ....purple rocks.  :)
