HPG Manifold Pics

Was asked to split my "too long post" so here we go.
These have been taken from the NGNG post about UI 2.0

Your thoughts gentlemen?

 

Looks like a fun map. Jump jets will be very useful, though there appears to be plenty to do for 'Mechs that don't have jump jets.

 

Did they mention somewhere that they were lowering gravity for this map or did I miss something?

 

I think somebody mentioned that they can't or won't do that yet. They don't want lights with jump jets flying up to the "ceiling" of the map.

 

No idea about the gravity, might me something in the NGNG article about that tho im not sure..

I think i'll be a brutal assault map as there is both spot for sniping and brawling, also quite cool is the the "arena" style shape of the map. Not sure how it will work in conquest tho.. As of size my guess would be about a tad bigger that Forest Colony.

 

So spooky and desolate. I love it.

And, yeah, you don't want to be jumping, then suddenly hear, "Out of bounds ... KERSLODE!"

 

Yeah your jumping and suddenly you get the out of bounds warning with countdown but you cant do anything about it, except roll your face on the keyboard..

 

On the one hand, this map looks great. On the other, for an HPG facility, it looks more like something to come out of Warhammer 40K or Star Wars than Battletech with it's sheer size.

 

Oh. My. Fudging. God...


SOOOOO awesome! The map not only looks great from a GD's standpoint, the dynamics of the terrain look great! I'm seeing some GREAT counter-sniping to brawlfest here!

 

Actually decent looking.

Conveys a sense of grittiness and the loneliness of space, unlike a lot of the CoD/BF looking maps as of late.

Just by looking at those stills, I say that looks like one of the best maps the games seen yet. Of course, playing it might give a diff opinion...

 

This! Wooot!
