I recognized the need to see this map withdrawn from rotation but was hoping it would actually be repaired and when new maps were announced at the end of Codex I was so excited only to be let down by re-structuring of existing small 5-point map. When new maps were announced for new build, Chromosome, I was so excited, only to be let down by hearing it was specific to the Quafe Agent event which I never got into due to time zones, and then the HK game show (Which I also missed despite my usual time zone being Japan, by coming home for Christmas holidays).
I don't know about anyone else but the massive 5-point Skirmish was my favorite map two builds ago when it worked and I still miss it and want to see it returned if it can be possibly fixed. I especially liked when they rotated in an alternate core city from the green-walled warehouse storage with command dome to the rocket launch test site.
If not as it was then perhaps another large map. I liked the various elements and tactics required for this map. Small towns around outer objectives lead to guerrilla defensive and offensive tactics to hold and take said objectives. The large city mass in the center allowed for CQC and siege combat, and the large open areas allowed for free vehicle range to either lay siege on smaller objective town points or simply for getting around.
This map was the perfect construct for every style of gameplay whether it was close range shotgun-scout, tactical AR logi, med-distance laser Assault, frontline HMG, sniper, tank driver, dropship pilot, AV assault... I was in good and bad matches on this map but saw EVERY style and tactical strategy played out on the large 5-point map which is not something I see too often on the other maps. Even the new Manus Peak rebuild which seems would be my new favorite map (It's funny how a slight rotation of objectives and moving MCCs and red-lines has made that map nearly perfect, in my opinion of course).
Can we ever expect to see this returned or should I just give up hopes right now, ignore this entire board area, and save myself massive disappointment with each subsequent "new map" release which isn't Skim Junction returning to it's former glory? |

I miss that map. If the stability was improved this much, I don't see why we couldn't try it again. |

In this Chromosome, lots of memory problems due to dust, wind, and other problems have been fixed and would like to see this map brought back. This was of my favorite skirmish maps. |

Skim Junction for the Open Beta! Best Vehicle map by far. Tank battles were epic, DS actually were useful, LAVs could mop the center infantry if done right, and infantry combat was intense. Up Up Up! |

It's back! Only got there once so far, but it was by far the best battle in a long time. |

I halfway take back what I said. The 3 point version of skim junction is terrible. If i wanted a tiny battlefield with no room for vehicle, I would go to ambush. |

You need to change it in character creation. |
