so you have to jump form position to position now and then and a large circular platform in the middle and maybe 2-3 different layers?

Which got me thinking.

We've all seen those giant platforms off in the distance on most of the maps, see below.

So why not make a map on something like that. It would be like a giant floating oil rig a thousand feet above ground. You could make it on three or four levels. Have open edges so you can fly around the outside and have open exposed areas inside as well, to give a sense of danger.

I also thought that it would add an extra element, that if you were hovering but you went to low, you would fall to your doom. You could easily calculate how low a mech can go before it;s thrusters can no longer get it back to the lowest levels. So when you reach that altitude, you self-destruct and it would just be pilot error.

This would introduce the first environmental hazard.

I think it would look cool if you had the lowest level with some kind of floor that you can see through, like a flimsy looking grill that buckles when you walk on it.

A possible scenario for it could be that it was a UTA base that was established just after the Hawken virus was released, to monitor it and help find a solution. But when it was figured out how bad the virus was, it was quickly abandoned and the quarantine was put into place.  

So it still has a lot of UTA tech on it that both Sentium and Prosk want.

What do you think?

This is an awesome idea!  If we have this, there are more maps that can have more environmental hazards!

this is not bad.

but i feel like front line fills the niche, in a way. i mean.  it would be up in the air, butr the buildings, and everything would look like front line in a weird way.

You know, it's a great idea, but if long range mechs are going to have the advantage (ie SS and Reaper), then no thanks. I hate to say that, especially since I'm a Reaper player and a sniper, but give the other mechs a chance. And even if you going to give other mechs a chance of surviving, you'll still have a huge group of people who would still use only mechs like SS or Reaper, ending in a sitzkrieg of peekaboo shooting.

I figured that it would have a lot of internal spaces on different layers like Wreckage, only more so. Anyway, the guy who designed that maps for the game has left now, so we'll probably only see another three or four maps and they've already been designed.

sky platforms
Yea, devs, give us a map with sky platforms!
As well, give us maps with rain, maps in night, maps with more water, tilting maps,maps with moon, map in space, or just maps.
Like, just do more map that aren't like bunker or last eco.
Add parkour elements and remove invisible walls while you're at it.

/ obligatory cat picture, because karma.
And my 5 cents:
Maybe add accessible reactors, so you can fall in them and die, and make some of the platforms fall (epic fights in perspective(see Bioshock infinite?))
And wind sounds too, that makes a big amount of heigh impression.

I hope they find a new guy soon or Ima cry.  I like the maps (except Bunker), but it's real sad that the guy got laid off. :/

Can someone make a topic about releasing the assets?
That could work for their business with a really restrictive license on the asssets.
