Long have we waited, genuinely the worst map in the game by far. Now do Brest please thanks

[What 3]

Gauss RF you mean?

[NVIDIA 823]

Is there a Gauss <Steam Punk> skin? Is it a new one?

Finally that boring Stadium camping haven is gone. I would not mind if you at least rotated some maps in MM like Deathtrack, Courage, Atra, Esplanade, Factory, Fort Knox, Gubakha, Kolhoz, Novel, Opposition, Pass, Rift.. You have so many good maps that should be available at least in the OG modes like CTF, TDM, CP. I have so many good memories on these maps that you just never see around because PRO battles are dead. 

I dont mind you staying with the current list of permanent MM maps, but why dont you at least try to rotate some maps every couple of months in some modes to liven up the extremely boring MM. It feels like I am playing the same 3 maps over and over again and this seems like an extemely easy and readily available way to bring at least some life to this game.

the funny thing is is that its exactly the case. instead of 3 its like 7 tho. Their official excuse back in the day for not adding new maps to MM pool was that they want all MM maps to be remastered and starting with only a couple of maps was the solution they came up so they can do it 'faster' or whatever. But at current speeds i think this excuse it pointless and all maps in the game should just be added to MM. nobody cares about HD maps anyways

Well one step at a time. It seems Alternativa finally understood NOBODY likes these maps and people would rather not play the game than to deal with them

Yeah, I remember some mod or whoever bringing this explanation and how incredibly illogical it was. Like even if they somehow added every single available map into MM, nobody is/was forcing them to make every single remastered copy of those maps. And it was even more ilogical given that they dont even have capacity to balance this game or (at least stuff that has been broken/overperforming/dead for years if we leave out the newest toys for buyers), let alone working on stuff like TC, remastered maps and other stuff.

A small mistake in today's patch notes:

• Gauss SP -> Gauss RF

[Tekken 467]

I like that you finally noticed that stadium is unplayable, it needed spawns to be like for RGB to be at least playable (still not great but at least something)

Now massacre please

I thought I would never see the day a MM map would leave.
