As a PVP player since BETA, I like getting to know màps I don’t know quite as well still, like Outsiirts and Echelon.
Why other long time players don’t feel the same is beyond me…
Well im a PS4 player so i can’t say about the frames, im guessing you’re PC?
Preachin to the choir
I’ve been having this argument with people since the Casu/Comp queues
Are your personal preferences more deserving then the health of this game? Preferences are great if the game is doing well enough to support the diversity. I would love for the ability to set up lobbies or have a queue for each map/mission. But we all know this game can’t support that.
I’ve used this comparison before and I hate using it but it rings true. another popular game that will go without name doesn’t get any complaints for cycling it’s maps and taking away that choice. Try as I might I can’t think of any of its maps that are vastly preferred to the others.

Why always Paradise? Because if you even DARE to choose Coldsnap, there will always be that one dick that just stands there and doesn’t move. Well, they move sometimes because they don’t get kicked for being inactive. And when you message them “Help us fight!” they reply with: "Not on this map."
On a more serious note though, nostalgia.
I like Outskirts, not a fan of Coldsnap and I love Paradise. I do kinda like Coldsnap when I play Toby tho.

Name names. Go ahead. Most MPs I play do away with voting and just cycle maps BUT each mode has a separate queue.
Maybe he is frozen?

Yup, and AMD GPU user, like U;)
Also have such issue with every other Tempest map + Outback (no idea why), so I’m not fond of picking of these.

Much frozen, very legit. Wow.

It was a joke. He was on Coldsnap, which is cold and snowy, so he froze. I guess it isn’t funny if you have to explain it.

That subject tends to derail every conversation into a blank VS blank.

OH! XD
I thought like, he froze in game. As in his PC froze… Welp, I feel like an idiot now. XD
I’m hoping the blur stops people from reading but maybe it’ll encourage it? We’ll see
The map is smaller. This means:
Spend more time fight, shards are closer, supply stations are relevant.
Also, ranged characters have a natural tactical advantage in this game, but the sightlines in the newer maps only add that advantage.
So, what would you folks most like to see in Quick Match?
- Even, random change for ANY two Meltdown Choices
- Feature PARADISE, and the other randomly selected
- Feature COLDSNAP, and the other two randomly selected
- Feature OUTSKIRTS, and the other two randomly selected

I would like to see only 3 options to vote on instead of 4. 1 always no preference, and the other two the game mode instead of individual map. Once the mode is selected then randomly select the map. I say Meltdown v Capture appear 60% of the time and each mode with incursion 20%.

Interesting idea. Not something we can do currently, but I like the feedback.

Than you for making this! It’ll be interesting to see what kind of response it gets. I personally put random even chance as I have a great fear of making any choice and influencing anything or anyone. But I am wondering why it’s addressed to my comment though, which was kind of an off topic throwaway?
Because some days, I just can’t forum.

I personally love paradise and monuments, but I hate coldsnap. Something about that map just doesn’t click with me and I can’t put my finger on what it is. I think it’s partially tight lanes, tons of cover allowing low hp players plenty of time and angles to escape when they overextend and should be fully punished for doing so, shard placements…it’s a mix bag of everything that I just don’t care for.
Personally though, I would honestly prefer it if there was no voting for a map and the game would just cycle through the maps. I’d prefer to just vote on a game mode.
I feel doing this would also be better for PUG teams going up against premades, as the premades can’t just vote for the map that they know they will do better on.
