Sooooo,.....I have been playing Hawken for some time now,....

 

    The whole thing is...Playing the different modes .....Siege,....MA,...TD,...D.....and the bot modes.

I am Getting really bored  Playing the same maps over and over and over!

 

When will it be possible that we can play those modes on all maps ? ? ? ? ? ?    

 

I guess the more advanced players out there might have the same question ....? or other questions about this topic as well ??

 

 

It would be awsome to finally play MA or Siege in ( Uptown )....just an example 

 

Opening all maps for those events should be a new idea to bring into Hawken...and for those advanced as well as smurfs a great new challenge in the game.

 

Hopefully this post will reach HQ.....OPEN the other maps!...

Well...

 

The maps would have to be designed for the game mode., somewhat.

 

For example, there really isn't a place to put the missile silos in uptown.

 

What is now called bazaar and prosk used to be used for siege.  Bazaar was taken out of the rotation due to complaints of it being badly out of balance (I still liked playing siege on it tho), and Prosk was removed from the rotation starting with alpha 2, which is why you still see the AA emplacement on the maps.

Bunker would be a cool missle assualt map though, the centre one could be used to take care of the other two by snipers or something

Bunker is already in the rotation for missile assault.  Do you mean siege?

I don't play missle assualt or siege, so I don't know what is going on

They do not have all maps for all modes because they are not designed for certain game types. Meaning you can't just call a map a siege map and expect the EU stations and AA to just be in the map somewhere and call it good. It requires careful planning and placement for such things, which are done around the conception of a map. Throwing these things into pre-existing maps that weren't planned for other game types risks strategic imbalances in maps where one team is inherently at an advantage.

 

This means there are only 2 options: 1) redesign certain maps from the ground up, permanently changing them to be larger, more open, and/or more symmetrical, or 2) leave them as is and focus on adding new maps designed for multiple game types.

Why would you comment in this case?

 

Private server admins can change the game mode to Siege on Bunker. It is a horrible yet somewhat entertaining experience. There is a good reason it is not in the map rotation.

i think the best solution would be to make mode specific versions of maps.

this would allow for more precise tweaking instead of having to accomodate all modes at once.

The existing maps don't need to be radically different if it isn't necessary.

 

Although having missile silos in industrial areas or living spaces sounds kinda stupid. the outskirts of these might be a better place.

 

EDIT: "industrial areas" being Prosk and "living spaces" being Uptown, to clarify.

Wow....Some great comments...

So, It would just be better if a new map is made, rather than doing the old ones.....I agree on all your comments and are great indeed.

And a pitty I was not around for the BETA and see it myself 

 

Still advanced players and ones that have been for the Beta version...should all try and encourage the Hawken Team for new maps with these features included.

One alone cannot do much....but a whole lot of you can

 

Its great playing Hawken on its maps...more are needed to keep up in this day of age for a online game.*me thinks*
