Jesus Christ...it's an additional mode. He's not saying remove more vehicle maps. He's requesting to ADD an additional mode. Which means.....MORE than less.

Players like yourself who specced into vehicle and anti-vehicle will still queue for vehicle maps. And players, especially, new players who haven't will queue for infantry. Why are you guys being close-minded?

This worked in BF3 and it has worked in MAG. Some people queue for Metro, others queue for Caspian Border. Some people play Sabotage, others play Domination. There is something for everyone.

+1 to the OP

For a mode where there's a fight inside a War Barge, or the possibility to fight inside the MCCs and take them down that way, there would be environments that don't allow vehicles within the battlefield - but that WOULDN'T mean the entire battle is fought without vehicles.

For urban maps, there would be areas that are far more infantry-friendly and far less suitable to bring vehicles into.

There are plenty of ways to limit vehicle use within certain areas of the battlefield, and plenty of ways to encourage new players to use the provided infinite-use Starter Fits until they get the hang of things so their deaths don't matter as much while they learn the ropes.

I don't see the value in a mode which removes core elements of the game.

The point I'm making is that something like the OP is suggesting would encourage new players NOT to learn, and to just stick to the no-vehicles mode if they don't care to play the full game. With the way New Eden is structured, there's no rational incentive for non-vehicle battles outside of a possible arena type setting.

FPSMMO. Core elements being OP vehicles. Yeah..... since when is letting noobs who would normally get spanked heavily by more experienced players get utterly thrashed by insanely unbalanced vehicles a core mechanic?

Maps like Communications on ambush are already built the way you describe.... but they don't stop those tanks from raining small and large missile turret barrages on every surface in sight in sight to 1 & 2 shot everyone with splash damage over at least 90% of the map, not to mention dropships flying overhead can still rain death on 99% of the map. Ashland is similar for dropships because of the high cranes and such, but it doesn't stop the dropships from just looping the outside of the map and blasting OHK missiles over the whole area. It would be the same for any map you make unless you just make it impossible for the vehicles to get there. There will always be a way for this to happen no matter how the map is designed unless they do some serious work on the missile turret issue.

would love for maps to be more rugged so tanks and LAV would have to focus on not running off cliffs or getting stuck in canyons, and more interior space would be great for more infantry combat.

make large external like lifts, drawbridges and gates so tanks have to get out of have infantry support to use these

Just a side note, any map that is cluttered or close quartered enough to restrict vehicle movement in the way you guys describe will also restrict usability of swarms and open space for forge guns to charge up and clear skies through which they can fire, thereby also restricting the viability of at least 2 of our current AV abilities. Just throwing that out there.

Av nades still work

I want besides the Skirmish/Ambush REGULAR maps an OPTIONAL skirmish/Ambush maps option where there are no vehicles.
Those wanting vehicles/infantry can go play the regular maps.

I want an OPTION to chose skirmish/ambush maps with NO VEHICLES just infantry.

Topic.

Some of the post are of things for infantry to get behind,underneath(cover)impassable terrain.But a completely inclosed infantry only map say in a building is gonna be a no go......even if you go beast mode then whats the point in such a map that makes it impossible to OS people?Warfare is 3 dimensional not Linear.

But even if you have a section on a map where vehicles won't be able to go.....infantry will stay there while vehicles will just drive around watching paint dry.

This is a really viable idea and it's proven that it works because it is like that in other games. This game is a vehicle styled game and not a shooter. I'm exaggerating, of course....but most of the games are decided by Vipers, Prometheus', Gunnlogis, etc. All of the vehicles are relatively difficult to take down, requiring more than one or two people at a time. Although, I don't like it...I'm fine with it. But adding infantry only modes or maps will be great.

If anything, CCP can reward the vehicle maps with more ISK than infantry maps. Then that might enourage players to play on those maps if they choose to. But when they feel like just shooting someone, then they should have the option to do so.

Ambush, TDM should definitely be without vehicles.....if that's the only change then that would suffice. Leave all other maps and modes the same but change ambush modes to infantry only modes. I have never seen a fps where you can just roll a tank and obliterate the entire opposition. In BF3, there is one tank allowed for squad death match and it's the dumbest thing in the world.
