Looks like they took Agent Orange too the old console map!.
Though for PC players sake, I hope they put the tier cap on it like the console devs eventually did. Trying to traverse that thing in a Maus isn’t terribly fun.
It’s a pretty bad map, trust me. No matter what tank I play, I just cannot find the best location. Far too small for lights, not enough sight lines for TD, arty can strike whenever, and heavies have to deal with it. Mediums get pinned by heavies and TDs in the few areas where they can shoot.
Having played it a few hundred times (especially when it first came out :P) its a hoot at lower and mid tiers.
Yeah, I do love playing it with the low tier lights, but beyond tier 5 or 6 it becomes a right pain for me
Gotta love how people complain about map being either “corridor” or lacking cover, and cannot understand that a map cannot have a ideal position for every tank to make people think rather than go to obvious position
Its maybe not a bad map overall, but its far too small for my liking, especially for TD and LT
It has a nice atmosphere to it in the screenshots. Though all that sea, a TOG would feel right at home.
About it’s size. Is it 1000×1000 or 800×800? The effective real estate seems underused as a lot is taken up by useless sea areas. Enlarging the landmass by a few percent would give the island more usable land areas.
Note I said Xbox, Great Wall is on PS4 too, while Scorpion Pass is Ps4 only.
Oh really? I didn’t know that! 😀 Interesting to find out new things about the Xbox and PS versions of WoT
to me it’s a good addition, I was sort of getting tired of only having new maps based on the eastern front wich in itself is “funny” since some of those were eventually removed
we know it was to please the russian playerbase but it was too much, the war was also fought in other places and it was time we saw a new map wich somehow relfected those theaters
a map based on the pacific islands was a basic addition, now I’m waiting for a proper “japanese” map (because the “Hidden Village” was bad, although I understand their idea when creating it), a proper China based map (I liked Dragons Ridge more than I like the current one with the castle in the middle) and maybe even a map based in Australia
It’s beautiful. Whether or not it will be a good map to fight on is a different matter altogether. I remember the island map in Armored Warfare… I always thought it was pretty weak.
It’s generally a snipe fight with large areas of no-man’s land in the middle. Heavies generally attempt to push flanks. Biggest mistake is turtling. The team on the hill generally commits this sin and pays for it.
Stay tuned for the inevitable PC port of Great Wall and Scorpion Pass
This looks a lot like Pacific Island on Xbox. And by a lot I mean I recognized it immediately. It’s a very good map IMO though I wouldn’t wanna play any paper TD’s on it. I love seeing it come up if I’m in a medium.
First, i like it…mostly. I do think WoT is long overdue for a more Pacific Theater map.
That being said, i do think land mass vs open water could be increased without loosing the idea that you are on an island. Maybe a 2nd Island…or two islands as spawn/flag spots with a bigger 3rd island between?
So far as comments regarding driving a Maus….well, rather than Tier limits, why not limit the map to Japanese, American, British and….ok Chinese tanks? Just a thought.
Huh. It looks remarkably like the Pacific Island map from WoT Console. Don’t tell me the console scrubs have come up with a good idea that is being adopted by the PC gaming master race!
OTOH, the console scrubs are being inflicted with maps that were removed from PC because they are too horrible, e.g., Dragon Ridge and Port. The console scrubs finally got the good PC versions of Sand River, West Field, and Prokhorovka. (Console got the good version of El Halluf a few updates ago.)
Jagdpanzer E 100 will fix that honey ;d

Yep. It is a copy of Pacific island
Is it time to cancel the apocalypse?
great now clickers like me can drown any time 😀
That’s why it’s called “Pacific Rim” not “Rita’s Rim”
So… many… nasty options to comment on…

In most maps that really doesn’t matter. Most players tend to stick to the usual lemming train lanes regardless…
If they didn’t you’d complain that you had no backup
Well of course. The entire team should be my backup :P.
isnt that a map from XBOX360 version ? I’m sure I already saw it somewhere
Yup. Been on the Xbox version for awhile.
It is the Console’s Pacific Island
Dont Care what Anyone says this map looks super fun like the other new maps they seem to be working on
Wow 😮 Finally a good map 😮 It seems WG is learning, +1 🙂
That map is just pacific island from the consoles brought to pc
So much beach…… where’s the Hobart’s Funnies tech tree? 🙂
The southern cap looks much more exposed, especially for arty fire. Nice change though.
Good map for suicide tanks. Make the water shallow please.
Yay! Lots of water to drown. I am excited!
Not that new really, been on Xbox for ages. Though this now mean that the single Xbox exclusive map now, well isn’t lol.
Great Wall is pretty exclusive…
Scorpion’s Canyon is exclusive, although it really is just a rip-off of El Halluf on steroids.

Scared valley (castle in the middle) is based on Korea.
and the castle/monastery is still reacable
“Chaos”
Yey, more water for arty to suicide 😀
5th picture looks like a warthunder map
ps. pacific rim- OH I WISH…. but i cant see ChernoAlpha anywhere
Like the look of the map, especially the topography. I’ve always enjoyed maps where the knowledge of how to use hills and defilades is crucial.
It’s beautiful. Whether or not it will be a good map to fight on is a different matter altogether. I remember the island map in Armored Warfare… I always thought it was pretty weak.
Oooooo PvE tanks vs Kaiju

PC has Great Wall. Its just Chinese server only IIRC
gj copying one of the worse AW-maps … classic WG-move.
You do realize this map started development on the xbox before AW became public beta right?
‘classic’ implies they have done it before. Please elaborate what other maps they copied?

If this is a 1k*1k map, how does this not have the same problem as Kareilia and Hidden Village had with to much of the map not being accessable?
Rotate Hidden Village 180 degrees, overlay inaccessible areas for both (guessing some parts of the new map) and…

…hmm…
Not sure what happened to my link there, trying again: i.imgur.com/zRaWkn2.jpg
You don’t see much daylight, do you?
off topic: have you seen ESCAPE FROM TARKOV Rita? Don’t know how into MMOFPS you are. It’s supposed to be a spiritual successor to the STALKER series.
Oh, but that looks very interesting. I especially like the part about being able to play as a bad guy and go after players :P.
I just hope they get the MMO part right and the game doesn’t end up like The Division does, but I’m keeping my eye on that one.
oh, that map looks great, le me guess? that is a non PC-version map?

Oh…i would have liked some Jaegers tooo 😉
Do it in a T95 then, or an Anime tank…doubt that’s a much different experience.
But but but, where is the runway for those planes ? :O
Pacific rimjob.
I see fast mediums turning this map into a turkey shoot. I’m curious how it’ll play out.
An island map? Artillery scumbags will be scumbags
The map from the xbox…wow…how lazy can you get wargaming PC?
Yummie I love to play in tropical enviroments, sad day they removed dragons ridge …
I can’t imagine how a tank fight would take place there in real life.
Excuse my lack of imagination 🙂
Somebody already compared it to the Armored Warfare map? Looks all to familiar 😉
A scouts wet dream
If there is a KV-2 on the map, you have your ChernoAlpha Jaeger 😀

Im just gonna leave this out here…. How many noobs will rush the water and die within the first min and how many arties will just go drown themselves.
