[cerulean locust]

plus there are some parts that break as if they were reinforced with steel inside, so it breaks in a square-ish mesh

while some parts break in random, as if the concrete had no reinforcement inside

plaster breaks differently too if you were to investigate. I think the game also considers structural integrity

i think that all of these can be determined through a list of material properties, like the valve material file (.VMT) would proportion.

India map when

[sturdy mirage]

Day 190 of asking for a medieval map with @clear gull @spark sage @earnest hornet and 171 other people. @ me and I’ll add you to the roster.

[untold falcon]

I actually want another surreal map like SYSHORIZON

The real life ones are cool but the imaginary ones are super cool and leaning heavy into the “simulation” theme is super cool

[bitter crown]

Since so many people have been complaining about the low gravity event, what if they replaced it with a gravity flip event? It could even just flip you sideways, since a complete reversal wouldn't work very well in open maps, although it would be funny if they just turned the sky limit into a death pit for the duration. This would really shake up gameplay, as objects affected by gravity, like debris and the cashbox would start falling in whatever direction gravity flipped. It might even be necessary to change cashout locations in maps that have this event, because otherwise it would function as a random infinite stall. Even then, they might have to lock the cashout station (and cashboxes maybe) in place for the duration or something to prevent unfair stalling. It would also need a ~20s warning to let players get in a better position for it. Idk, this would be more interesting than low grav, but it might end up being even more unfun than it.

[bitter crown]

The SYSHORIZON map is actually largely based off of the Smithsonian in the U.S.A. I feel like we might be seeing a CNS comeback next season, so I really hope we finally get that medieval map, but maybe with a gimmick of being hacked. I feel like having a map that's half medieval and half modern might be really hard to pull off, but it would be so cool.

The area in between the modern and medieval sides would be like a thin strip of blocky SYS-esque material/structures.

[untold falcon]

Yeahhh that’d be cool. I also more meant the aesthetic or theme of a new map being like “simulation” or glitchy or whatever would be cool. That’s cool though I didn’t know it was based on the Smithsonian.

[bitter crown]

Yeah SYS definitely looks nothing like the real Smithsonian. I also really love the aesthetic of it though. I don't particularly like the layout, but if they made a more interesting map with the same destruction mechanics and look as SYS, It might be peak.

[olive sandal]

why is kyoto eating my frames

[jaunty arch]

add a volcano map

[finite prairie]

a train station would be great ngl

[finite prairie]

something around this area in seattle could be nice, its a bit small but itd probably be more vertical, underground tram station, monorail above, the mall would be based, etc

i could probably describe it better since ive literally been here but perhaps later

[forest sage]

Does anyone else think SYS Horizon is the worst looking map. I mean some of the art pieces and interiors look pretty good. But the outsides of the buildings are just so bland. The worst thing by far about SYS has to be the font used in the museum, especially the “tickets” sign it stands out like a sore thumb.

[steep orchid]

A museum map wher every skill/weapon and gadet is display would be cool.

[unique girder]

There's a bit of "it was a different time" to SYS Horizon. Like the Synthwave Purple Neon Lasers phenomenon

But I do love their augmented-brutalist take on a couple of those buildings

[lunar flax]

ants

[steep orchid]

Also a sponsort map could be interesting. Wher all the sponsoring thing. Ore the relevantest are showcased

[unique girder]

The close quarters map is a really good Alfa Acta-sponsored thing. Color scheme and all... I absolutely love that they number the buildings too.

a dude rained down minigun fire from the top and murdered everyone once, and I was like okay, that's Building 09. So I'd go right back to it!

[steep orchid]

And know. Think about it. You run in this building and you see on one wall 1 ore 2 of the weapons Designs from thats sponsor and in fron of it a glas vitrine wher you see this weapons showcase in his parts.
And on the next wall you see one of the outfits.

[warm hound]

that’s cool

[proven breach]

I’d do near the convention building arch on pike including the hotel, those places are way bigger than any buildings already in the game.

[neat cliff]

ghuqwerfghiuydf

[finite prairie]

im doing this specifically for the lightrail station under westlake lol, but by bigger to you mean taller or like really bigger? cus thered prolly be a cutoff like the iseult buildings on fortune

[proven breach]

Taller but yea they prob wouldn’t make it 35 floors lol the convention center is really pretty and has people from around the world weekly there so it’s recognizable. I remember the subway map on BF3 and hated it since flanking wasn’t a thing but the teams were way larger so maybe that wouldn’t be an issue.

[finite prairie]

yeahh, i want westlake center because i have an advantage(yadda yadda i live pretty close), plus having the lightrails coming in below it as a thing that literally murders you if it hits you at speed, if they're even moving

also the monorail above, probably inaccessible but just as a feature, could be like bf4 golmud railway where you can just take down the rail and the monorail car itself crashes onto the ground n you can fight through that

like i want a site in here

[waxen shuttle]

The PEACE Center is awesome. I hope they add more maps like that for different sponsors, like a snowy hockey arena for Volpe, a tdm-sized skyscraper for Engimo, Ospuze factory etc.

*and I'm not even sure what Volpe does it just feels like it'd be a cool theme

[stuck wind]

Kyoto sucks

[magic hamlet]

ancient scottish castle map when?

[silver pawn]

I mean kyoto (no matter how bad of a map it is) is basically that

[magic hamlet]

but its not scottish 😦

[queen ridge]

It’s a very different aesthetic but I like it

Keeps the game from feeling too bland imo

[forest sage]

I do like the neon retro style. I just feel like the map is a lot less detailed and more bland than the others. I can’t send a picture but the ticket counter is the thing that does it for me.

[atomic umbra]

can you make a paris mapppp

that would be soooo cool

day 1 one of asking

[tame cypress]

The new tdm map is pretty fire

Hope they make a larger scale one for it

Played the finals since beta best game ever 👏 the devs actually care about the comunity

[burnt sinew]

will they add bernal and monaco to tdm? hope so. Would be a massive mistake not to add the new map to the rotation too

[wintry goblet]

@willow basin

[warm hound]

yeah

[stuck wind]

make that 172 other people

[fathom harbor]

i

[frosty shale]

What kind of server is this tf

[wintry goblet]

Lmao I love that one

Might as well add me too!

Although I'm fairly confident they're doing it next season...
I hope.

He just wants the attention

It looks cool, it should not be in world tour ever. I’m loving it right now tho because it is non existent and all I play is world tour

[true geyser]

add me too!

[strange plover]

Mount Saint-Michel map

[dusky kestrel]

Embark, will you fix turret falling through the world if I show you this?

[placid zinc]

Finally someone who understands my pain

[dusky kestrel]

Didn't mean for this to be in Maps whoops.

lol

I was boutta tell you that until I saw this

[distant cedar]

[tiny ingot]

delete kyoto

[iron moon]

WHEN ARC RAIDERS?

[terse brook]

How do I share a picture, because I found something interesting on one of my games!

[plucky violet]

i asked a streamer what would be a good map and gamemode and he said ffootball like you can fight but also like run like a cash box down the field and pass it to your teamates and he also said make like a map split up into halfs and have a grassy texture on the ground. it could be located in a stadium and there could be like structures on the field.

[plush kiln]

Gotta be high enough lvl to send pictures

[terse brook]

Thanks

The main thing is that. I want to show the image Right now, because it’s reminding me of the end of season one all over again.

You know like. Small white glitchy boxes, out to the map. From CNS back in season one.

Well, right now I’ll be going to sleep. so yeah

[bold mantle]

That’s technically an advantage

[pallid shell]

That's really funny I might try this

[viral minnow]

Can there be a map similar to the poolrooms in the backrooms or even just a simple backrooms-inspired map?

[autumn coyote]

Remove moving platforms from world tour and ranked

[cerulean locust]

Does it break the turret if you break the canister

[dusky kestrel]

It falls through the world then despawns.

[waxen dome]

Can we get a Chinatown map please?

[honest apex]

@outer bobcat do you like my map idea? I'm thinking this could be a new finals favorite

[outer bobcat]

Oh boy

[alpine flint]

Clicked on maps from your message in finals chat, clicked your reply, saw this, fire emoji

[visual lichen]

💀

[honest apex]

It would be great for oppressive turret meta

[visual lichen]

It would be great for triple stack heavy mini gunners

[dapper nimbus]

•My suggestion for Season 7 will be to add some Tropical/Tourist Islands , they will add a cool vibe for this summer ! Some ideas:
-Seychelles
-The Maldives
-Bora bora (classic)

•And for some citys id like to see :
-Italy (Rome)
-Greece(Athènes)
-Turkey(Instambul)

[bitter crown]

I'd like to see cns return with a medieval map, hacked to be a Mashup with something more modern.

[gentle portal]

one week till 200 days holy cow

[safe cradle]

when will they fix the servers so its playable...

[zealous patrol]

I'm sure my glorious game devs at the illustrious Embark Studios have already thought of this BUT animated player cards would be cool.

Imagine your intro pose running shortly on your enemies screen after you eliminate them (instead of the current screenshot popping up on the screen)

[round iron]

We should have 1 real map from every continent, which would be South america, africa, Antarctica & oceania

[charred pumice]

time square in NYC would also be a dope map tbh, but idk if it would look to closely in vibes to vegas

[inland prairie]

Bro I put a turret on a chair so I could throw it at some enemies that were hiding in a corner and it just fell right through the map

[bitter crown]

What if the finals' AI system decided to "reboot and restore" SYS, giving us the actual Smithsonian as a map. It wouldn't actually take SYS out of rotations, but it would be cool to see what the map could've been, like how they did Las Vegas reimagined.

[vale basin]

Mega deserved for that level of rattiness

[calm gorge]

I kinda like the sc poses

[tidal shoal]

Banff Alberta Canada 😍 can make for a fun location

[sturdy mirage]

Day 194 of asking for a medieval map with @clear gull @spark sage @earnest hornet and 175 other people. @ me and I’ll add you to the roster.

[elfin quest]

Yo I just had an idea for this

What about a throwing hatchet for heavy

Slow fire rate and single shot with projectile speed but a lot of damage and a little bit of aoe

Also maybe a custom quick melee that does a little more damage

[merry panther]

I quite like, that and medival would make for a good skin pack so you can make money embark!!!!

[elfin quest]

Yeah

[elfin quest]

If they made a 16 pack yk the ones that come with MBs of a medieval style pack with tons of weapon skins that would be tuf

[burnt sinew]

removing the close quarters map was a really silly decision, I cannot understand it??? plz bring back, added some nice variety

[dusky wadi]

I mean, it’s a bit strange that the game Mordhau came back thru the finals, if they decide to add the claymore and a medieval map

[round iron]

why did i never get this map

[harsh hollow]

Next map might be is SOUTH AMERICA

[spark ferry]

ANYONE WANNA SQUADUP

[burnt sinew]

did you play the tdm event?

[winter girder]

anime maps like infinite castle would be really cool

[bright tangle]

Probably (hopefully) next patch which is allegedly happening soon (isn’t it like every 3 weeks I heard?). I doubt they’d go through the effort of making a new map just to delete it after the event

[limpid herald]

It’s 3:58 am here and I hadn’t slept yet💀

[peak shard]

Please remove kyoto from the tdm roster. I dont hate it for cashout but it plays weird on tdm

[round iron]

can we have a map from every continent please. As long as there isn’t a billion trees.

Aka amazon rainforest

[proud nymph]

Id love a beach with downed pirate ships, cabins, and tree houses

Saipan would make a fire location. Small island with lots of ww2 remnants

[outer carbon]

Aztec Temple or in Egypt? Thoughts?

[night iron]

Egypt for sure

[bitter crown]

Egypt is pretty iconic but I've never seen a game go for an Aztec Pyramid...

[wooden badge]

having traps in the pyramids 🔥

[round iron]

Oh god a map with traps already in it, would be perfect for 5 L on tdm

embark please fulfill🙏

[burnt sinew]

my main issue with TDM is the maps. They're all so samey, big empty rooms/concrete jungles. PEACE needs to come back, and soon. Monaco and Bernel for some visual variation as well

[void fossil]

Castle, knights, vampire, frankenstien, queen, princess, crowns, big ahh sword, sowrd and shield, jester

[shy phoenix]

Hello!

[wispy sapphire]

ya

[desert heron]

the new map is crazy good

[rotund sluice]

nvm

i like suspended structures

all the maps are great tbh

[silent valley]

ragebait

[distant cedar]

weird take, prolly from a heavy or a close range medium player.

[fossil pagoda]

What

[lime wadi]

not sure why A tier is empty, but I agree that Fortune Stadium is indeed the best map in the game. Not a big fan of Monaco, but I don't think it's E tier lol

[bitter crown]

My personal favorite has got to be Skyway Stadium, but I definitely agree Kyoto belongs at the bottom.

[little wind]

Should include variants in this
Like sandstorm Vegas might be my favorite map in the game but regular Vegas is just alright to me

[errant moth]

medieval would could be a whole season theme, like castle and villages and LOTS of melee medieval skins would be added, but its near impossible, since the new weapons/gadgets would need to be medieval too wich is near impossible

[runic forge]

they could also make it a magical medieval season. Then they could make magical weapons/gadgets like a wand that shoots fireballs

[errant moth]

but magic in a game thats set in the future may not be smart

[runic forge]

It's a VR game in the lore, so anything is possible

They specifically chose that VR setting to have as much artistic freedom as possible

[sturdy mirage]

I mean, there’s a big timeline gap between the futuristic gateway and the modern frag grenade. I think they could implement something in, after all “anything can happen in the arena”

[modern oasis]

just waiting on a map with a train that u can ride on the top of LOL

[errant moth]

i think we will never get magic weapons, only skins. For example we got the FAMAS in season 2, not some futuristic railgun. The gadgets dont aplly this tho.

[worthy zodiac]

What is the best map for heavy melee?

[civic cedar]

Las vegas

its really enclosed

[fallow widget]

Bernal

And fortune stadium

But mostly Bernal

[meager hemlock]

we got Ospuze in reality before we got decluttered Kyoto in virtuality. lest we forget.

[sturdy mirage]

We don’t need magic tho, just like a claymore

[chrome storm]

nah deadass if a wand that shoots a fireball shows up in this game I'm uninstalling lol

[desert heron]

a star wars / scifi themed map would be nice

[frank hollow]

DELETE KYOTO

[vast cape]

bernal and vegas A bro

[night iron]

Medieval or Egypt map would go hard

[boreal merlin]

A neo kyoto would be cool, like monaco but more modern with ad signs all over

Think like shibuya at night irl

[night iron]

That would be fire

[boreal merlin]

I think egypt could have potential, but im not sure how it would look

[dire vector]

Yea I’m tryna imagine a Tokyo ant night vibe and its kinda hype ngl

It’s right up this games alley in terms of design too

[boreal merlin]

Exactly, thats why i think it could do well if it was like a slightly more building focused monaco, grapple haven

[dire vector]

Yea it’ll be lit

We js need it to happen

[nocturne apex]

Sys lowkey one of the best, just in terms of theming and layout

its very easy to understand

[outer juniper]

L take

[outer juniper]

egypt would definitely go crazy not even gonna lie

[bitter crown]

I love the theming and aesthetic of sys, but I absolutely hate the layouts. There's basically no cover on the ground, and a lot of the buildings feel way too open. It just feels a little too open in general. Love the way it looks though.

[outer juniper]

sys has well placed jump pads on the middle lanes of the map for ranked though unlike the other maps those outer side though are like death traps though

[nocturne apex]

Yeah it really encourages the faster playstyles and a lot more flanking, as taking people head on becomes impossible

[night iron]

HOLA

[burnt sinew]

TDM needs peace, monaco, bernel... plzzzz

[compact idol]

the finals needs sea map with sharks ,lol

with ships and pirates

[rough tangle]

Fire idea, i see the vision. So ideally a harbor full of pirate ships.
But considering how the water is hated on Kyoto, i dont think its the best idea sadly. I would love it tbh, water doesnt bother me that much but for the maj of players, they'd get mad

[compact idol]

yeah ,you are right. Maybe some like beach theme map will work, because it would fit summer season and you dont really touch any water but also you can add a new map hazard : tsunami .
I wish they added lava event to bernal too

[wooden badge]

almost 200 days of medieval map

time to make a YT video killing the steamrollers

[tame marten]

hell yea Miami

[wintry goblet]

We getting a will smith skin with this one ✨✨✨

[minor iron]

fortune stadium cool

[rare bluff]

i dont get monaco that often anymore, still my favourite map though

[wooden rune]

I don’t like Kyoto, I get it every game tho

[gaunt venture]

Personally hate that WT is locked to 4 maps each week. Let us have more variety and play all the maps all the time. It especially hurts on a week with Kyoto and Bernal because those are seemingly the only god damned maps I get.

[daring brook]

Same with low gravity it's totally fk up atleast for me as dagger main

[bitter crown]

As a dagger main, low gravity is still my favorite event purely because of how far it lets you launch off of jump pads.

[daring brook]

But it makes char vulnerable if you do normal jump you cant get down easily and even with jumppad you'll not get down easily and if you dash that dash will also become slightly slower sometime if you miss the target you need to turn around jump or dash or slide when all these things slowed dow enemy gets chance to hit and as a dagger user you cant do anything you left with two options one with grenade (because you'll carry only one n don't have another one like gas or pyro grenade leaving you with no attacking options) second one gooing with goo grenade it's still not viable as other enemy teammate could be waiting for you from another corner (also less chance of getting away) with the pads it's useless to stay in air for too long cause as a dagger user you'll need to constantly be in stealth mode so basically i think gravity makes you vulnerable to attacks and you cannot do anything and one more thing with the dagger debuff it's hard to get backstab from front or from mid air

[marble socket]

medieval map is suppoooosedly season 7

so true 🗣️ 🔥

[marble socket]

genuine thoughts on kyoto? why it bad, is gooood?

[brazen igloo]

hello.hope everyone having a great time

[covert bluff]

I don’t mind it most of the time

[marble socket]

people talk really negatively of it but like even in ranked i really havent seen any major issues aside from maybe the water sometimes

[covert bluff]

I do hate the water

But overall it’s not horrible

[runic forge]

I personally don't have a problem with it.
But some reasons are the performance, clutter and water on that map

[marble socket]

performance is fair, idk how they could change that, clutter? wdym clutter? my proposed water change would literally js be to make it not have a movement penalty

[runic forge]

clutter as in too many trees etc.
and enemies being hard to spot.
I think the bamboo forest is the worst region in that regard (they have improved that region in an update tho)

I loved winter kyoto bcs the water was frozen

[marble socket]

i think they just need to add more physical assets and cover in the bamboo forest, its open but simultaneously dense in a way that isnt useful,

[willow basin]

Kyoto, the map where the game gets put to a halt because everyone is perma headglitching on roofs.

[marble socket]

have you tried going inside building

[willow basin]

i have a brain yes,

[marble socket]

yeah so like, why is that an issue then, just dont stand in the middle of the open

most of the cashouts are in buildings anyways, the only part that is a little annoying is fights always rotate to the dirt floor underneath, i think they need to adjust that

[willow basin]

my point still stands,

[marble socket]

you can do the same thing on monaco and skyway though, thats just how triangle roofs are

im not disagreein with you i just dont see how headglitching being possible makes the map bad/worse

it would be if the fights were all in the open, most of them arent, and most people arent running full long range weapons

[digital tartan]

Can we get a map thats just a giant super yacht?

[marble socket]

titanic >w< im sure thats not insensitive at all

it would be cool though, im not sure itd play well tho

[digital tartan]

????

[marble socket]

people + fps game + tragedy = uhhhh yeah

ignoring how people would be weird it again i js dk how they could make it play well

id be open to it though, a modern chongqing map or something is more in my radar, ground level flashy buildings and skyscrapers, like seoul but more cyberpunk and not on the rooftops

[digital tartan]

I honestly would like to see that

What about overgrown skyscrapers as a new map, or a map variant for Seoul, like the desert sandstorm Vegas map?

I'm a big fan of having different time of day and weather effects, it goes a long way in keeping the maps fresh!

[marble socket]

literally please, more map variations for existing maps im begging, im surprised we dont have rain yet tbh

[digital tartan]

We need thunderstorm weather and a tornado event

[wet saddle]

Any new maps coming?

[raw remnant]

we need a storm variant hahaaha

[rich mesa]

we need a full map revamp

[bitter crown]

I would love more map variants, but nothing beats the hype of a whole new map. They should start every season with a week long ltm that's literally just quick cash in whatever the new map is.

So you could queue up to play in that map specifically for a week, or you could just play normally. Or they could just let you choose what map you want to queue for.

[wet saddle]

Yuhh

[steel leaf]

we need a san fran map trust, the high points, compact areas make it great for close up or long range battles trust

[unborn pawn]

there should be a map based off New york but set in the 1920s

They need to try less futuristic maps. Venture out some more

Map editor perchance

[jolly kayak]

That would boost game in stratosphere.

[lean socket]

@sturdy mirage

[tame vine]

Would a Valhalla map be any good

[pseudo rock]

I hope they follow through on that castle map oscar mentioned wayyyyy back. Holding out on next season being medieval themed.

[pseudo rock]

Devs have mentioned on stream a few times that the way destruction is put baked into objects it would make an editor a lot of work to implement.

Far as I can tell they agree it would be great but it’s not likely to happen anytime soon unfortunately.

[marble socket]

Malbork would be a good medieval proposal

[marble socket]

they mentioned a castle map?

[mental flicker]

@ me

[sturdy mirage]

I would if I could, but I’ve done that before and they deleted my messages because it was considered “spamming”. Suffering from success

Thats why now it’s just a number

[mental flicker]

That’s fair

[floral flume]

Again, Egypt

[bitter crown]

Anybody notice the new door in the practice range? There's nothing behind it, but I'm really hoping we're going to get a way to travel from the practice range to other maps. Private matches are cool and all, but I really want to explore things on my own.

[pseudo rock]

Yeah! Someone in chat said something about a medieval map and I think Oscar said something about there being great castles right there in Stockholm. This was I wanna say mid s5?

[warm plover]

yes i noticed it too! would be a cool addition since theres a lot of times i wanna try something i can only do in a map… door to all the maps would be sick

Hot take
Fortune stadium is the worst map

[nocturne apex]

Yes

[wooden lagoon]

i think that title is still held by kyoto tbh

i actually started appreciating fortune stadium

[violet vector]

I still and will always hate Vegas

[sonic drift]

I love that the time of day changes as well as the weather or even just the colors of the walls. It goes a long way in keeping the maps fresh and exciting!

[tall mist]

Hell no Monaco is top 3

Imma be honest
Kyoto is beautiful but it plays like ass

[static brook]

Monaco has good building fighting but the spawns are absolute garbage and sometimes you only get cash outs in the stupid tree parts. I can’t remember the last time I’ve gotten to play at the church

[drifting folio]

Are there multiple maps centered around similar styles or am I just bad at telling where I am

Yea some of the non specific location maps like skyway stadium have building copies.

[subtle knot]

Sys is kinda like that

[granite karma]

Imagine sys finally get actual textures

[inland anvil]

NGL I kinda like Sys without the textures, though I think it would be cool to have glitchy/changing textures.

Kinda like Skyway where it uses environments from other maps but actually mixed together/or changing and not separate platforms. Building looking like Seoul at one point before changing to being textured like Monaco or Bernal.

[granite karma]

I mean I do too cuz it makes the map light af and it made my game smooth which I love it

yes I'm looking at you Kyoto, fuck you

[marsh fox]

Kyoto is such a lovely map

Well designed and true to the theme

[karmic horizon]

The next map is going to be Fargo, North Dakota. The devs told me so (I'm not schizophrenic)

[plucky violet]

make a map that is in space so low gravity

[quiet hawk]

I know you're joking, but having suburbs for a map would be an easy cop out for a filler season. Multiple duplicate looking buildings, large empty spaces mixed with many destructive buildings and fences, one MASSIVE Walmart with a parking lot filled with cars. I really wanna see a map like that in Central US or something

Or, to spice it up, why not make it Retro? Like the fallout 4 pre nuke theme?

[signal sequoia]

waiting for some, farm type map maybe, or maybe medieval

[karmic horizon]

Today, we're heading to the home town of the Retros Scotty 🗣️

[warm wagon]

A map that is a fair ground will be cool

[pseudo minnow]

But I wouldn’t want a map that’s TOO open

[edgy nest]

What about a space station?

[near beacon]

add me to the roster. need a medieval season fr. Should make a petition for people to sign

[visual sentinel]

Can we get the peace center but turned into a cashout map

[sturdy mirage]

Destroying the space station outer walls would cause more crashes than Kyoto 😭

Day 204 of asking for a medieval map with @clear gull @spark sage @earnest hornet and 180 other people. @ me and I’ll add you to the roster.

[pallid glade]

wonder what the next map will be

[rocky socket]

Petition to remove Kyoto?

[frigid pond]

naaaaah the map is too cool

[frigid pond]

we should have some city abandonned like hiroshima maybe.
And some map like singapore where there are different structures in the city
Maybe on in egypt, not a city but some kind of temples]

[frigid pond]

Add me on that shit, a medieval map would be crazy, in a castle or something like this

[runic forge]

I'd love ruined map variants for Monaco/Seoul/Bernal
Like Las Vegas has the Sandstorm variant other real life maps could have on too.
Some ideas could be
Overgrown Seoul (more plants and maybe some vine paths you can walk on)
Earthquake Monaco (broken buildings, fissures you can fall in)
Volcanic Bernal (Most of the map is covered in ash that is breakable with 1 or 2 quick melees. Big lava river splits the map. Meteor Shower event could be always active but with less meteors)

[frigid pond]

i love crazy ideas like this, this would be so fun in game

[warm wagon]

@pseudo minnow when i thought about it yeah you're right it eould be to open. Does anyone know if they are going to make new maps or just improve the old

[forest sage]

They are probably still making new maps. They just wanted to make improved las Vegas for some reason.

[void fossil]

I figured getting the little event one recently was them letting us know new maps are still on the cards, even if that one is not a game changer.

[faint crest]

‼️ Day 4 of asking for a map with tall post-soviet buildings‼️

[true geyser]

NO, DONT

[rapid parrot]

new map when?

[twin owl]

there are plenty of maps already — I wonder if they’ll ever add the option to choose between them.

btw, a question for the devs)
Do you have any plans to add a new "old solo mode" that I missed back in the day (even though I’ve been playing since almost the release)?
And one more thing — are you planning to add an option to choose maps/arenas?

[rare wing]

they should make old LTM's available for private match like heavy hitters was this time
even if they might not have a large enough following for normal gameplay, at least you could play among friends or organize on discord to make it happen

[round iron]

win win for both parties because embark gets to see which maps the community likes the most

or the least

[nova canyon]

Detriot, Chicago

[twin owl]

thanks, men

[spice heath]

Burn down kyoto and replace it with a giant elevator

[stoic jay]

[versed sigil]

Sys Horizon alpha version everything black and white

[analog trail]

[astral maple]

Another day, another chance to recommend adding Santorini Greece as a map. Beautiful architecture, many small buildings cascading down a sloped island. Small alleyways and courtyards, plain white buildings with blue roofs, perfect for plastering the finals logos all over. Also adding the iconic stubby windmills and having them spin in game, imagine placing goo on the windmill and riding it all the way to the top? Im telling you this place is what this game needs

[warm smelt]

They should definitely do that with older maps, I would love more variety in them

[warm smelt]

Very underrated suggestion

Also a San Francisco map would be pretty cool for the finals

[warm plover]

your ideas are pretty cool, maybe for something like overgrown seoul it would be cool if we had a thunderstorm ? (rainy weather, but even more rain and lightning)
lightning would break buildings (kinda like a larger orbital laser)

[pseudo rock]

I’ll go crazy with the bounce pad on them hills

[gentle portal]

https://tenor.com/view/sisyphus-rock-mp4-transparent-color-gif-11114772717737196968

[rough tangle]

IN 2 WEEKS WE WILL BE FIGHTING IN MEDIEVAL TIMES BOISS! READY TO DESTROY CASTLES SO BAD (hopefully we will have catapults)

[onyx oyster]

Dissun Oil Rig.
I can already imagine the stormy map variant. Fighting for a cashout on the edge of the helipad, harsh white spotlights and the orange glow of the roaring gas flare illuminate the pouring rain. A flash of lightning shows the 50ft waves below.

[onyx oyster]

April Fools announcement for next season should have been Fargo, ND. The entire map is centered on a Walmart parking lot bordered by a large vacant lot, I-29, Walmart itself, and 52nd Ave

All cashout must have minimum 50 meters of empty space surrounding them

Although if it would be north dakota, lets get this map:

^there might be too many obstacles here. I think get rid of everything but the power lines

[marble socket]

problem with this is people are just gonna pick from like 2 or 3 consistent maps, it would straight up invalidate other maps and discourage learning the other maps, plus with a game that has dynamic gameplay as this does it doesnt really matter what map you play,

voting for modifiers/events would be better imho

[bitter crown]

But those bring just as much randomness to matches as the maps do. The same issues with being allowed to choose maps are there for events and map variants. Zero gravity would never get picked, just like kyoto wouldn't. I would rather be able to queue for any map I want than have to play whatever event everyone else in the lobby wants on random maps.

[marble socket]

Idk i disagree, modifiers are very subtle, the only one that isnt is low grav which suckz

[bitter crown]

I just think there's a very big difference between choosing maps and voting on events. If you choose to queue for a match in fortune stadium, everyone in that lobby would have also chosen to be there. If 60% of a lobby votes for zero gravity though, the other 40% are stuck dealing with a sucky event. Allowing people to choose their map can't really go wrong unless you're worried about queue times, but voting on events will almost always leave someone dealing with an event they don't want.

[bitter crown]

I also think it's worth noting that there are plenty of events with big changes. I've won rounds by stealing the cashbox and standing on top of alien space ships until the round ends. If they don't already have a cashout active to start overtime, there is literally nothing they can do to get the cashbox from me and start a cashout.

[marble socket]

nobody ever cares about events, the fact theyre low stakes is why they work for voting, i do not wanna get into like 3 back to back "meta maps", i would genuinely just not play the game then

[marble socket]

So... youre saying the exception is the standard

[bitter crown]

You could just choose to queue for kyoto or something.

[marble socket]

so you want like 30 min queue times

having maps be random encourages variety and forces strategy, removing that would just be bleh

[bitter crown]

There are 30,000 people active in the game at any given time. As long as you're queuing in NA lobbies, you can get a match in 5 minutes. Even Kyoto has people who enjoy playing there (myself included). This discord is the only place where people hate on it this much.

[marble socket]

Me when i lie

[bitter crown]

I don't know what the steam counts are, but I'm not kidding about kyoto. One of the worst map performance wise, but people do like playing there.

[marble socket]

check the steam counts dude... its pretty bad-

Also youre ignoring the fact oce and eu exists

[bitter crown]

There's also consoles.

[marble socket]

and? Even if you say "50% of the com is on console" thats still low

[warm smelt]

It doesn’t matter, the game still is gonna live on and plus the steam count goes up when a new season arrives

[marble socket]

divided amongst like 6 gamemodes and eacch one having a map vote? Thats bad

[marble socket]

i never said it was dead i jusy said it was too low for map voting to not be heavily biased

[bitter crown]

My queue times are only ~30 seconds a match, and I don't think letting people choose maps would bring that over 5 minutes. Even if it does, that's a problem with the maps. There shouldn't be anything wrong with letting people choose to play on the maps they like.

[marble socket]

private matches.

also buddy my queue times are like 1-5 minutes probably a 2 min avg

your "map voting" would double queue times at least

[bitter crown]

They could also have a random map option. If queue times were really that much of an issue, you could just get back your queue times and all of the variety and randomness that comes with getting backfilled into Kyoto 4 times in a row.

[marble socket]

and again, oce and eu would lkterally be unplayable

[marble socket]

so now queue times are even longer by having another extra option!

yipee!

[bitter crown]

What are you on about? You would get put in lobbies along with people that actually wanted to be there.

[marble socket]

my oops

either way that doesnt fix your problem of butchering queue times

[bitter crown]

The random map button would let you queue into any match on any map, so as long as you select that, literally nothing changes, including the variety of maps and situations. It would only give you longer queue times if you selected a specific map, and times would still be shortened by other players getting added through the random option.

[marble socket]

again, having map voting/queues in any context increases queue time, give it up mate

[bitter crown]

The only real problems that could arise would be that the random option would likely put a lot of people in kyoto, which would kind of suck.

[marble socket]

also giving someone a freebie to literally never have to play a map is horrible game design

[marble socket]

live realization that the idea is bad

[bitter crown]

If a map is so unenjoyable that somebody would never queue there, I wouldn't force people to go there. That should be common sense.

[bitter crown]

Oh no! One flaw! It's ruined!

[marble socket]

or the player is just not good and does not wanna learn the map so other maps get disproportionately picked

[marble socket]

maybe dont put a flawed idea to begin with

[bitter crown]

Most people don't dislike maps because they don't want to learn them, they dislike them because the layout is bad or there are performance issues there.

[bitter crown]

This is coming from the guy who wants to be able to vote for map events

[marble socket]

literally no map in this game has bad layout, if kyoto is a problem for you its genuinely a skill issue, its not even a long ranged map like people say, genuine skill issue. And also they should fix kyotos performance, idek what causes its lag

[bitter crown]

Less enjoyable layouts at the very least.

[marble socket]

yes, because the events in this game are incredibly minor and have very little impact "oh i erm i wode the space shjp" cool, most people arent doing that

[marble socket]

by this logic that means one map is superior above all

theyre just different layouts dude... it isnt that deep, theyre equally fine

[bitter crown]

I honestly hope this does get implemented, and every one of your lobbies chooses zero gravity.

[marble socket]

yes because low grav is notoriously loved and theres more than 2 people who like it

i hope your idea gets implemented and every map but monaco has 10 min queue times and oce and eu are xompletely unusable so they have to play with 500 ping on NA

you really gotta stop suggesting things for this game john "heavy needs a one shot sniper and db is op"

[bitter crown]

Ok mister "thermonuclear bomb for light and heavy exclusive bikini outfit"

[marble socket]

the more you bring up a joke the less i think you actually understood the joke

[bitter crown]

No, you keep bringing up the sniper ragebait, I'm just playing along.

[marble socket]

it wasnt even ragebait

[bitter crown]

It was literally ragebait. Like I said, I hate snipers and hope it never gets implemented. On the other hand, I've heard no such statement from you regarding the nukes or the bikini

[marble socket]

all im saying is a bikini would go unironically pretty hard, fight me

ragebait isnt "oh hm lets fine tune all the balancing for this" lmao

[warm smelt]

this literally is just non stop yap, I agree with both of your guys opinions but it’s baffling that y’all gotta talk about this for straight up 30 minutes

[marble socket]

and either way youre complaining ab db and that tells me enough

[marble socket]

im in a 2 hr car ride i have literallt nothing to do

[bitter crown]

Talking about a sniper that one taps with body shots isn't fine tuning the balance lol. Literally anyone can see that it's a bad idea.

[warm smelt]

ok then

[marble socket]

you were yapping about the balance for a good hr bud

[bitter crown]

If you think that's balanced you have a serious issue.

[marble socket]

youre the one dying to it constantly clearly

[bitter crown]

???

[marble socket]

db is a skill check, you failed the skill check

lights literally take like 5 bullets to kill, if you cannot manage that thats your fault

[bitter crown]

I haven't died to a heavy sniper at all. It isn't in the game.

[marble socket]

double barrel, silly

[bitter crown]

Why would you say "you're the one dying to it constantly clearly" in response to a comment about an unbalanced sniper that isn't in the game and expect me to get db from that?

[marble socket]

because we were talking about that... i mentioned the sniper AND db

[bitter crown]

I stand by my opinion on db. Not impossible to avoid, but it takes no skill to use.

[marble socket]

i dropped a 20 kill dagger game, i dont play dagger, is dagger op?

[marble socket]

you can say this about any weapon

[bitter crown]

How many weapons can one shot light, from the front, without a headshot? Range doesn't even matter because it's on light, and a two round magazine is meaningless when you kill anything in two shots.

Sledge is the only weapon that can do that, and heavy doesn't have the mobility to approach the way light does.

[marble socket]

weapon big damage = op

kill the light as they approach you, dont let them flank, shoot from afar, its not that complex dude

[bitter crown]

Light is literally designed to flank and get close. I don't get why this mentality doesn't apply to melee weapons. They have more limiting range, less damage, and aren't even that much easier to aim than a literal sawed off shotgun. If melee on light is balanced, then db is overpowered solely because it does everything better.

[marble socket]

it doesnt and skill issue

[bitter crown]

How insightful

[marble socket]

I mean if youre struggling against the easiest weapon to counter (aside from sword bc of the nerf) then yes you are bad at the game

[bitter crown]

How do you counter getting one shot?

[pseudo minnow]

Another day advocating for an Egypt, Cairo map
Like a marketplace setting

[marble socket]

1. It only oneshots light which is good because lights arent even meant to be seen

2. There is not a single weapon in the game that doesnt outdamage the doublebarrel if it isnt a oneshot

3. Lights are so fucking easy to kill dude....

4. use literally any sonar or glitch gadget ever

[bitter crown]

By that logic, shouldn't sword one shot lights as well?

[visual sentinel]

I want to see the peace center turned into a cashout map

[marble socket]

no? Sword doesnt one shot

oh i see wym

no because sword is an aoe weapon, it has multihit thats what made it good, and it the past it did actually one shot if you did a quick melee, and you act like using db ia comically easy, the oneshot ability of it isnt consistent to pull off

[bitter crown]

I have literally never struggled to pull off a one shot against light. Requiring minimal aim should be baseline for any weapon, and it shouldn't justify one shots unless it's a pretty extreme requirement. It also doesn't hold up at high level play. When people are hitting with nearly 100% and decent headshot accuracy, having your opponent's body in your crosshairs isn't nearly as hard as you think it is.

[marble socket]

yeah those training bots in the practice range are pretty tough eh?

[bitter crown]

Db is my wt crutch
Nearly 100% win rate because no one gets to fight back.

[marble socket]

dawg youre just fighting bots or something, db is not that strong

[marble socket]

local man discovers the role of light in the finals

[bitter crown]

Whatever you say.
Easiest kills I've ever gotten, but I guess I'm just cracked or something.

[marble socket]

👍

[fallow widget]

Hammer only 1 shots a light with the over head. So not even hammer hits as hard as a double barrel.

Game mode like football (either)/rugby/quidditch/basketball. Use the cashbox holes in the practice range, back and forth getting points. Kit is: all light players with grapple, barricade, dome shield, thermal bore. First to 11 or 21.

Well, that’s cool I suppose. Kinda takes the fun out of having a museum map though.

[bitter crown]

Yep
It would be cool if we got a sys horizon reimagined map that was unhacked.

[wild sentinel]

Agreed

[noble pike]

I recall the devs saying its based on an art museum/institute in chicago

[steel leaf]

MAKE A SAN FRAN MAP

[wild sentinel]

OHHH yeah I see it now

How about an Indianapolis map with the soldiers and sailors monument at the center of the city.

I could see for it making a pretty cool map

I could easily see them sectioning off the four quadrants for sponsors

[harsh creek]

well embark prob won't listen to them because clearly after putting in banana akimbo and spoon sledge skins embark knows its not making a "serious strategy shooter" and something way different. plus the stupidity from these ppl can be seen from a mile away. You can still vote for this map, Embark will still never remove a map its added and we'll have fun.

That sounds great

[harsh creek]

Great I'll add you in if you like. Should I ping in the list or not?

[bitter crown]

Yep!

[harsh creek]

Message uptaded. Honestly had some real cool ideas for the map.

• You can actually go in the slides.
• Cruise shouldn't be in the middle of the sea, but could actually be on the sea near to a seaside park with a ferris wheel (but that might be just too much)
• That sloping swimming pool in the first picture can be used for an extra speedy slide.
• Lower floors are completely accessible. So lots of verticality. This can be applied only if the seaside amusement park idea isn't used, or vice versa. Because with both of them, map might get extra big.
• You can't go in the water. It'll result in an elimination. So think of it as the gaps between skyscrapers in seoul. In case of the seaside park idea, there would be jump pads to transport you here and there.

[bitter crown]

It would be really cool if it was like a more compact version of the mall in Seoul. An area like that would be really cool if the water slides functioned sort of like ziplines that could take you down into other floors as well.

I guess it would be sort of like a mashup of the Seoul mall and one of the hotels in Las Vegas. That would definitely still leave it pretty small for a whole map, so I can see why a beach could be necessary. Alternatively there could be a second boat that travels along with the first one, or they could circle each other in opposite directions through the ocean. I'm nor sure how bad performance issues would get if they had to simulate two 50x100m boats moving (including debris), but I really like the idea of being able to leave the boat as long as you don't touch the water.

[bitter crown]

The new reveal blog says Vaiiya and CNS are "tearing the arena in two, literally"
We might actually get a hacked half medieval half modern map!

Maybe it will be half modern half sci-fi instead based on the season 7 cover art.

[sly juniper]

In the trailer there is a moment where there is an alley with neon signs in SYS$HORIZON style.

[bitter crown]

it's probably going to be a half hacked map or something. I can still hope for half sci-fi though!

[torpid nova]

I strongly believe we're getting a city streets map (finally!) as seen in the patch notes title card. It will most likely be based on a real location, since each season the Devs switch between real locations and remixed maps.

S3 Kyoto - historical
S4 Fortune Stadium - remix
S5 Bernal - historical
S6 Vegas - remix
S7 ??? - historical

I've heard some saying it will be Tokyo. This lines up with The Finals AI choosing Kyoto originally, being the capital of Japan in 1568, and in the modern age the capital is Tokyo

[bronze stone]

Thoughts on a temporary game mode where you are a light with pad and zip and there is a tower to climb and as you go through checkpoints it switches the specs between dash and grapple to give a dynamic parkour experience

With like a race leaderboard

[forest sage]

Yo a futuristic or cyberpunk style season with CNS and Vaiiya, and a Tokyo map. This season is going to be so peak.

[warm plover]

and new gadgets, new ways to earn stuff, and “top secret suprises”. absolute peak

super hyped for the map, the “divide” could be interesting

[grizzled salmon]

very interesting

[lean garden]

Only one map? Damn I enjoy the concept but if that’s the case I’m really hoping for a pregame map vote. Listen, people are tired of getting some maps back to back. Lobby based voting would change this game. (Also world tour/ranked cashout should appear with only one vault from time to time to force a game into each out😋)

[slim violet]

Chat gpt said this about the key art

The image appears to show a stylized or digitally altered city skyline, with a strong purple and neon aesthetic reminiscent of cyberpunk themes. Due to the artistic editing and partial view, it’s difficult to confirm the exact city, but the skyline suggests it could be inspired by or based on a major East Asian city—possibly Tokyo, Seoul, or Hong Kong—as those cities are commonly used in cyberpunk visuals and share similar high-rise cityscapes.

There is also a visible kanji character (見), which is Japanese and supports the possibility of Tokyo as the inspiration.

[sonic drift]

No thanks!

[bitter crown]

I hope it's a blend of sys horizon and an actual city map. All the verticality that comes with skyscrapers, All the aesthetic of a hacked map, and the close quartered layout we see in other cluttered maps. Something about a map that's mostly photorealistic but partially blocky and digital sounds so interesting compared to the maps we already have.

It would also be pretty cool if the map was literally just split in two, with one half unhacked and one fully hacked, but I would rather just have some hacked areas sprinkled into a city map.

[weak light]

yee

[twin totem]

this is very likely gonna be tokyo, considering how the japanese character 見 is there (that character is in chinese too iirc but the blurred text looks to be japanese - I can't really tell though)

[tepid pelican]

It's in Japanese's writing style as a Chinese I can tell

Basically the new map can be confirmed to be in Japan

[twin totem]

also just saw the full promo image on the channel and it uses the japanese hiragana "の"
this update is gonna be peak

[runic forge]

I think it's gonna be Kyoto again.

We were supposed to get a Sci-Fi Kyoto in S3 but the AI restart caused it to be a 1568 map.

[finite tiger]

I'm not sure

[warm plover]

it is japanese, there is the hiragana character の in the shot with the whales

that char only appears in jp not chinese or mandarin

[torpid nova]

I didn't even see that, this is gonna be awesome!

[torpid nova]

My best guess is either Kitami, Japan, a small town which shares the 見 (mi) character, or Hanami meaning "flower viewing" of the famous cherry trees blooming each spring. Although sakura trees appear all over Japan, and not one singular location. It's hard to know without more details 🤔

[warm plover]

im hoping for either a steampunk map or a map with different gravity systems, like where if you look up then you can shoot at a team on the floor

[warm plover]

space station mayhaps?

that would be fire, maybe there'd be an airlock hazard where periodically it would close you off and instakill

[drifting folio]

I go heavy and destroy the building on sy$ horizon every time because I dislike how teams stay up there the whole game

[hazy brook]

Naah bro Athens !!! let me bomb out parthenon lmao

[astral maple]

I would love Athens too lol, but just thinking about the finals it would be so easy to just plaster the finals logos all over the white buildings in Santorini it would be sick

[hazy brook]

i got you haha architecture and color are well fitting the universe

[exotic plinth]

So on skyway stadium, powershift mode specifically, the team that spawns in the penthouse has a route that takes them all the way to the midrise on the other side of the map in 10-ish seconds. Plus the jump pad lands them on top of the building at the end of the road which can launch them all the way to the middle and onto the platform with a single jump pad.
But the other team, with the spawn in the construction yard, has no good options for a quick rollout. The walkway onto the big pad jsut sends them up onto the buildings to just walk all the way over with the sight lines for ziplines blocked and no angles to set up a horisontal jump pad. And the jump pad leading to the midrise either bonks you into the building where you have to zip up (which is very easily destroyed by the other team) or you have to walk towards the pool jump pad.
So the spawns feel very imbalanced between the teams at the start of the match and then later on when either penthouse team has a direct jump pad onto the platform or the construction team has to make up a way to get into the platform on their side of the map and an ever worse time if it's on the other team's side.
Am i missing something or is this an actual issue with the map?

[tall mist]

Might sound kinda stupid but I think skyway stadium is on the moon
It's in a dome and you have a direct view of mars

[exotic plinth]

@tall mist you can see the moon from it though? (also you wouldn't be able to see mars from it either way)

to illustrate my point on the map routes, all of the right team's routes are way slower. And, tbh, just feel worse to walk.

What about Amsterdam

[atomic umbra]

That sounds fun

[storm adder]

Yeah like the canals

[dusky carbon]

Something I like to do with the beginning of any game or even towards the end is fire off the cannons that are scattered throughout the map. They’re often pointed at structures. I always felt like you guys were going to expand on that by creating a map dedicated to canons something in the Caribbean so it’s nice and tropical. I also thought maybe you guys would also create like tiny hand cannons basically shrinking the cannon model down into a pistol.

[atomic umbra]

One time use weapons u can pick up like objects?

[rare wing]

would be nice if the canons were also more impactful
often they just face a direction that nobody is gonna be in
if they werre facing the cashout tho...

being able to turn them would also be nice

[rough tangle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioYCTDoYEnw&ab_channel=THEFINALS

Alright so we're getting a SYSHorizon 2.0 .... FFS

[rare wing]

seems like the new map has slides

[fluid portal]

So the new map is just a reworked sys horizon ?

[heady thistle]

I'm loving the B&W Vaiiya coloring in the new map. All of the neon rainbows are going to add so much contrast!

[heady thistle]

😁

[stiff skiff]

New map the hacked version of sys horizon

[bitter crown]

It's a completely new map, not a sys variant.

[pine folio]

Can we get like a Palm Springs style stage? Or something like an under ground bunker?

[proud zephyr]

Make this a map PLEASSSEEEEEE 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏. On Albanian SpongeBob I would play finals every day if this was included in a map

[meager hemlock]

is this a new CNS SYSS map?

("Come and Play" teaser; 00:40-00:42)

[bitter crown]

I know it's a different map, but it would be cool if they still put "SYS" in the name.
CNS already gave us "SYS$HORIZON", imagine if the new map is called "SYS$RUPTURE" or something.

[meager hemlock]

"SYSS" likely just referring to "system", the virtuality, I think this is likely.

[bitter crown]

Yeah it's also used in irl hidden programs. That's why I figured it would be cool if it just became part of CNS's map naming process.

[meager hemlock]

interesting. I ever since thought "SYSS" should name the CNS maps, of which I just wish there will be countless.

[serene whale]

I would love for the next one some kind of tropical resort in Thailand or Dubai, with swimming pools, palm trees, hotels with large atriums...

[granite steppe]

me too

great

there shoud be a jungle themed map

nooo, kyoto is bad enough

just imagine it, no sightlines, absolutely perfect for filthy sword lights

like the predator

[atomic umbra]

Thermal vision w/ lh1 on jungle map with fog 😭 😭 😭

[pseudo minnow]

I am advocating for an Egypt, Cairo Map. Something similar to Bernal

[void fossil]

i prefer a water/ocean map… im tired of seeing cities and buildings😪

like a big island

[sturdy mirage]

That would never work in the finals tho. It’s selling point is fully destructible environments and what is there to break on an island besides trees

[bitter crown]

An underwater city though...
When are we getting Atlantis as a map?

Flamethrower mains would be seething lol

[sturdy mirage]

😭

[void fossil]

im talking about like a big island and the buildings will be like a sand castle or whatever and there would be small puddles of water all over the map.. im not talking about deep waters etc

[green thistle]

More real world map locations.
Like Monaco, I watched a video on that place and you guys did such a wonderful job. It's so close to the actual place.
Kyoto and bernal are also major favorites of mine.
I really hope to see more maps like these in the future.
I'm sure the new cns style map for s7 will be great but nothing matches the beauty of the real world locations imo

Embark: We got more buildings

[visual swan]

They cooked so hard on the new map, it looks so good!

[jagged karma]

Think that’s just you bro bro, this new map is heat

[chrome sparrow]

Nah I agree it looks great and I’m excited. I just think there’s a lot more they could do when it comes to maps. Kyoto is the most unique one there is.

I do like how this feels very cyberpunk though

[jagged karma]

Kyoto SUCCCCCCKKKS, needs to be removed

[pastel quest]

Real

[errant moth]

its only because of the lakes tbh

[jagged karma]

Even without the lakes, building goes down and the basement is so over played, not just the lakes, the high ground that there is with few pads, nah map sucks overall

[zealous patrol]

"we can't wait to see you be creative in the arena"

MAP CREATOR CONFIRMED POG

[strange egret]

The new map looks awesome, can't wait

[peak plaza]

A map of the city of Montreal with the contrast of the old European architecture and American skylines would be cool

[chrome sparrow]

Removing content is just a stupid idea. Also I wasn’t talking about the map layout. I miss when people would think before they spoke.

[jagged karma]

It’s not a stupid idea if it’s overall hated by damn near everyone I play the game with

[chrome sparrow]

Everyone YOU play the game with. This game wasn’t made specifically for you.

[jagged karma]

And I don’t mean my personal friends I mean, I’m a solo player and I make it known every time I get in the Kyoto lobby that the map sucks 98% of the time everyone’s agreeing

[chrome sparrow]

Good thing they are making more maps I guess

[jagged karma]

I just wish maybe you could at least make a preference that you would like to not play a certain map

Not necessarily the same thing, but kind of like how and CSO there’s like the options to pick which maps you’re playing of course not the same. The game’s not that popular. But maybe select one that you really dislike.

[chrome sparrow]

I like this idea more than map voting because with map voting you end up playing the same few maps.

[jagged karma]

I just don’t see map voting doing very well because the population is lower. Maybe if It got more popular.

[chrome sparrow]

When I really think about it I only like Kyoto for tournaments, power shift and terminal attack but not quick cash. And then I don’t like team death match on any map.

[jagged karma]

I personally play world tour and ranked mostly for teamdeath match I think it’s perfectly fine it just doesn’t matter where you are on the map someone’s gonna be playing a head glitch on the roof and with all of the roofs being slanted it happens on everyone, and it’s harder for heavy to move with the team because there’s not as much movement on it

[meager hemlock]

NOZOMI I CITADEL looks nice and deserving of an fps. needlessly cluttered maps just will not do.

[chrome sparrow]

I thought this map did look kinda cluttered though? Not in a bad way.

[jagged karma]

Feel like we need to see more, the trailer will ofc show off the looks but we have not seen the layout completely

[cyan nova]

right

[wintry goblet]

Skill issue

[boreal merlin]

So i get like half points for the idea right?

[harsh creek]

This map is fire idk what u on abt. Brutalist design meets floral architecture is way better than a map with every single of our wishes into one.

[sonic drift]

We need a Takeshi's Castle type map

Or "Fall Guys" for the younger generation. Just a wacky funhouse with rolling boulders, platforming and whatever nonsense you can add in.

[ember river]

Embark does use drone footage and photogrammetry techniques to turn real life photos into the game maps. They look like they really go all out when it comes to this part of map production

[cyan nova]

no shit

[warm smelt]

New map is very detailed, this my favorite now

[sonic drift]

It's beautiful no cap

[shrewd willow]

best map so far imo , love the design

[green thistle]

After seeing the new trailer for the new map.. very pleased with it, especially the Tokyo side with foliage and cluttered alleyways.
Love the look of it far more than I expected to.

[jovial gull]

Santorini, Greece.

[bitter crown]

I hope the new practice range door lets us explore maps solo, I'll be spending all my time in Nozomi.

[shrewd willow]

nozomi's style is very aesthetic , it's gonna be the best season after season 2 xd

[bitter crown]

I wonder if we'll be able to stand on the blocks sticking out from the death pit walls. That could make for some interesting plays.

[void fossil]

They cooked with the new map.

[bronze stone]

There is a massive issue with the Kyoto map in The Finals

[sonic drift]

Such as?

[rough tangle]

Nah come on, now is not the time to complain.. Did you SEE THE MAP?? They COOKED

[chrome sparrow]

Can you try reading my other messages 🥀

[low pier]

YOOO THEY TOOK MY SUGGESTION AND IMPLEMENTED IT SLIGHTLY IN THE BEW CITADEL MAP

[sonic drift]

Maybe a hot take but the Vaiya side is cooler

[novel dust]

it is for me as well, so clean

[vague patio]

doesnt it just look like some existing maps we already have?

[novel dust]

kind of, as well as Fortune Stadium, but idk it just seems visually pleasing imo

[shadow drum]

Back when this game first came out one of the things i was really impressed by was the idea of all the maps being interesting historical locations all across the globe. This was a really fun and original idea to play with but it seems like they just want to make more generic neo-futuristic corpo shooter hallways

[tired ingot]

@

[worldly girder]

I think it would be really cool if the new map variant would be half of both themes and two of both different themes

[quiet hawk]

Could LV Stadium just become anither varient of LV? I personally don't belive there's enough changes for it to be its own map on the map screen

As a varient, it'd be cool to see sys horizon have a more fortune stadium esc or glitched reality esc varient, so that it has more replayability

day 220 of asking for a medieval map with @sturdy mirage @clear gull @earnest hornet and 187 others

gonna have to do this for another season

[pseudo minnow]

I alone, am asking for an Egypt, Cairo map. Something similar to Bernal but with all of the marketplace shoppes and bazars and etc

[eternal dome]

Cs2's anubis or smty like this?

[bronze stone]

There were no jump pads in 1568

[opal rover]

I don’t think there were crazy light players in 1568

[devout bane]

WW

[frank shuttle]

Nice

[woeful drift]

Any one seen the new map it's soooooooo coooool and there is a slide I can't wait for s7

[pseudo minnow]

Yeeaahh something like that but a little more open like Bernal with good mix of towering buildings and etc

[eternal dome]

A cool idea tbh

[bitter crown]

I'm still wondering what the door in the practice range is for, especially when embark said the 5 roses easter egg will be unsolvable when season 7 drops
We might get an entire practice range overhall via CNS accessing the new "backdoor" and hacking the range, or we might see the ability to travel to other maps from the practice range, allowing us to explore them solo.

[pliant tree]

i just hope citadel has map variants

it really grinds me when maps like horizon or fortune stadium dont have meaningful variants to them

suspended structures is the GOAT of variants

[ember river]

S7 practice range update 🤔

[bitter crown]

Initially I was really hoping we would be able to go to other maps on our own, but a CNS themed practice range sounds too good to pass up.

[bitter crown]

It's a big ask, but it would be cool if we got two major variants.
One where CNS takes over and it's all Nozomi, and one where Vaiiya takes over and it's just Citadel.
I was thinking they could decide to keep only one of them depending on who wins in S7, but at that point they would just be removing a perfectly good map variant.
Maybe they'll change the whole map at the end of the season to only have the side from the winner. It would be kind of weird to have a permanent clash between CNS and Vaiiya in this map even after their conflict is over.

[pliant tree]

i dont think theyll do that, and just keep the map as is like they did with horizon

multico controls CNS, spread da word

[bitter crown]

It would certainly be unprecedented
It's worth noting that CNS has no conflict in SYS horizon, but there's a very clear one in Nozomi/Citadel.
It does make me wonder though, is LA stadium going to keep the sponsors from season 6 there? If so I can totally see them keeping Nozomi/Citadel the way it is.
Having the two map variants would still be awesome, even though that would take an insane amount of work for a small studio like Embark.

[pliant tree]

LA stadium?

[bitter crown]

The one with the Ospuze, Engimo, and Alfa Acta theme

[pliant tree]

oh Las Vegas

[clear gull]

[sturdy mirage]

Rn?

[void fossil]

bro wait 🙏

[fringe knot]

Kyoto still sucks!

[dense granite]

please add slow back to kyoto. its not challenging at all to bypass the water. map knowledge is an essential and crucial part of every pvp video game that has ever existed. this change caters to people who cant be bothered to use their brain and the many tools available in this game to get past an obstacle

[idle ridge]

You don't need to post this in multiple channels

[dense granite]

i do. both channels are relevant to the topic. cry abt it

[eternal flax]

@dense granite I agree with you it was something cool to know when you play the map ,more challenge

[bitter crown]

I don't think the problem on kyoto was ever the water, it was how open everything is and the water highlighted that. At least it was a cool detail.

[marble socket]

if someone can explain for me- does this mean the map pattern no longer applies? like every season has been fictional - real - fictional - real

s6 and s7 are fictional - fictional

helrp, is the map cycle not truu

[marble socket]

i would care less if it wasnt literally HALF of the map that was water, randomly being knocked into water and being unable to do anything about it isnt fun and js invalidates melee/cqc entirely, water is not fun to play around because the way it punishes you is stupid and the locations in which water is in is stupid. having a movement nerf just for being in the half of the map that the other player isnt in is not good game design, if water had more interesting mechanics and could be utilized then i would say its good, but falling into water when your initial positioning was fine isnt a good thing.

if they implemented water depth and certain areas of water were deeper and those slowed you more then maybe thats understandable because it doesnt invalidate 50% of the playable space

maps like seoul and stadium have a lot of unused nonplayable space but its also visually clear and shown that that area is unplayable and punishes you, water has no clear indication of punishing players and the punishment it provides is so weird that most people will not think its something you can utilize because you cant

i think the bigger problem with kyoto is every cqc fight ending up in the basement, thats a little annoying

[alpine coral]

Kyoto is a gorgeous looking map with lots of realistic details based on the actual location and... that's the only positive. It's always been terrible to play on.

Water slowing down movement was just the cherry on a huge cake of crap.

It either has wide open areas with little to no cover, surrounded by elevated positions/rooftops, or areas cluttered with trees/bamboos/hills/walls where shooting at anything past close range or using movement can be difficult. The bamboo forest in particular can be a nightmare.

Destruction has gotten better, but used to be overtuned for a while, causing too much chaos on top of server instabilities.

IMHO due to its layout, terrain and buildings, the map is favorable for M/L and unfavorable for H. It's the only one in the game that makes me feel like playing a specific class put me at a disadvantage.

i mean it is based on japan, but im not too sure

[lucid gyro]

Been waiting for that forever.

[dusky helm]

It’s probably inspired by some specific real world location

[covert bluff]

S8 I can feel it

[solar pumice]

imagine fighting in a castle/medieval village/forest

[tranquil trail]

this new map really reminding me... we really got Las Vegas, Again for season 6 huh

[spark sage]

🙏

[paper tangle]

i think map based off of santorini greece would be cool,

[cinder stag]

I mean s6 was a redesign of Las Vegas 2032 so would that still not count as real?

[cinder stag]

Also I’m pretty sure sys is based off a real place, just… CNSified

[nocturne apex]

Yeah it’s the national mall/the Smithsonian complex

[rough tangle]

because i guess people complained of Vegas 🙂 and instead of getting a proper new map we just got a reworked Vegas (more a recolor than anything)

so please folks, stop complaining.. or next season we will get a rework of Kyoto and nothing else

[storm skiff]

Honestly fuck kyoto

[cinder stag]

as a free game, they kinda have to

[bitter crown]

We need a Kyoto reimagined map.
Kyoto 2068, it's just a city.

[storm skiff]

Fuck the idea of kyoto, fuck season 3

[bitter crown]

Did you have a bad round?

[harsh creek]

imagine if sys horizon got a complete horizon variant where it actually looks like its irl so like the textures and some other stuff are completely changed.

cuz syshorizon was act cns trying to download the map of a real world location into the finals but bcz of a glitch only half of the map was fully downloaded. so itd be sick to see its actual form

[bitter crown]

Chinatown, U.S.A

In New York City

[feral crown]

I'd like to see a New York new York from subways up to the skyscrapers. More of a vertical map

[floral horizon]

Can we get sponsor reskins on the map interactables?

• Ziplines
• Jump pads
• Ladders
• Buttons
• Indestructibles (barricades, Elevators, outdoor lifts)

With all the cool designs going on, its getting a bit boring to keep seeing the default map assets in between it all.

[sturdy mirage]

Day 222 of asking for a medieval map with @clear gull @spark sage @earnest hornet and 188 other people. @ me and I’ll add you to the roster.

[novel kiln]

would be cool to see a dutch location fr

[narrow linden]

Need a Australia map

The event can be kangaroo attack

[drifting citrus]

Thats interesting

@sturdy mirage

[whole thorn]

interesting

[marble socket]

isnt there only one map in asia dude-

[rare wing]

wonder how long its gonna be until i get the new map

would be nice to be able to choose the map we play on, even if its like the choice between 2 per game mode, on a 20m timer

or making the 1st week of wt the new map only

[runic forge]

Seoul, Kyoto and now Nozomi kinda

[marble socket]

so two 😭

[glad lynx]

vaiiya side be like michael jackson billie jean

[shrewd bison]

Bro with all the maps being in rotation for wt its gonna be impossible to get the new one 🥀

[alpine coral]

Rage much ? Wtf does this have to do with anything ?

[warm plover]

have you ever used unreal engine 5 and made environments

[alpine coral]

Imagine calling The Finals a shitty failing game lol.

Bla bla bla

[warm plover]

also crashing out and calling the game lazy and a woke piece of shit is crazy just dont play the game then 😭 we dont need your negativity bro

[alpine coral]

Retourne sur Call of...

[alpine coral]

Nothing woke about the whole game, stating that you are willing to recruit just about anyone regardless of sex/gender/ethnicity is nothing special in 2025, but oh well

[warm plover]

exactly idk why this guy getting mad if u got a problem just dont play :/

[alpine coral]

En même temps les skins sont la seule source de revenus d'un jeu F2P, donc bon c'est un peu logique d'y consacrer du temps de dev.

Si Embark sont des feignants, que dire des studios triple A 🤣
