Whats that? You don't think Caustic or Caynon are hot enough? You want a hotter map? Check it out!!! Rumours for this map say that you will gain heat if you get close to the lava and take damage if you enter the lava. Other than that there are no real details that we could find. Hopefully ya'll got your heat sinks up to snuff cause you are gonna need them! If you know any other rumors or info about this map post it here!
I like the idea of adding envinromental hazards to the game to make the battlefield more dynamic... maybe place them in areas that are stategically desireable but include such risks
did anyone else notice this map in the Sarah's Jenner video on the main website? Looks pretty sweet from that little clip.
A decent creative foresight released, too; [quote author=Paul Inouye] First batch of Sarah's Jenner being delivered tomorrow Terra Therma on July 30th 3rd person enters public testing next week Tutorials in August new engine update in August Dx11 in August Large energy weapons going through multiple testing iterations of multiple variables. Large and Medium Pulse lasers getting buffed PPC/ERPPC getting a 1 heat increase confirmed they are investigating restricting the number of heavies and assaults on the battlefield new quirk adjustments to emphasize lines between mech classes Medium mechs to get a series of agility buffs new rewards for performing tasks ideal for lights and mediums capturing can earn players more the more frequently they do it[/quote] A lot of things just being reiterated, but, some good information. However, the MWO forums are the most hateful and terrifying place on earth! If I worked for PGI, saw my own forums viciously attacking a game they play, I would crawl in a hole. However, I'm very excited for a new map, new gameplay and balance tweaks. Very excite. Yes. Chatt.
There are only 2 hot maps out of 7 (or 10 if you count the variants), tourmaline and caustic, so I guess it's OK to add another one. According to the description, it will be more like caustic, with uneven heat areas. I hope they'll achieved something not too similar though, even if I like this kind of design. The "lava traps" looks fun, I can't wait to lure my pursuers in it (won't even need a shot to leg, happy me!)
Im pretty stoked about this map. it looks badass. After this we need like a moderate heat Jungle level with like a tar pit trap or some such thing.

says its not available in this country, odd. When i look at this map i cant help but think that if an Atlas were to ever be born...this is where it would happen. They match the terrain damn well.
