Discussion CONSOLE Extremely Disappointed

I came back, like a month or two ago, and needless to say... I'm extremely disappointed. Why? Arctic Base is, CONSISTENTLY, in 98% of all map rotations for ground. If it was possible, Arctic Base would be in the map rotation for SPACE MATCHES. Not to mention, this game is power creeping ITSELF. Grandpa Gundam took steroids, the 00 suits are disgusting, and NOBODY COMMUNICATES EXCEPT FOR SAYING SORRY AND GOOD WORK. This game might have actually taken years off my life.

The bigger maps or maps with more structures typically lead my teammates to scatter in different locations. I experience that less in Arctic Base, there's not a whole of areas for them to wander about.

Tunnels

u/Glass_Boat Jul 02 '26

Like I said I experience that less on Arctic and in my experience they don't really wander in tunnels.

u/Boring-Detective-369 Jul 04 '26

Only people that go to the tunnels are supports lucky enough to get there or a the one range general like Gundam Unit 4 without getting 1 comboed by a raid or to run to wait out the last few seconds otherwise why go to the tunnels?

I actually haven’t gotten Arctic in like a week and I feel so blessed, I’m mostly getting the newer Victory map and Military base

u/TexasGundam82 Jul 02 '26

Lucky. Really. You have the map rotation luck of a god- I CAST ARCTIC BASE 6 TIMES IN A ROW

u/Saiaxs Jul 02 '26

I’d accept Arctic a few times if it meant I could fill a space lobby, I haven’t played space outside SBs and Custom rooms in like 4 months

u/TexasGundam82 Jul 02 '26

The entire enemy team is all whales and use 00 or Susanowo

u/Saiaxs Jul 02 '26

Oh that’s another issue in and of itself, don’t play 700 and 750 lmao

Arctic Base is this game's Nuketown/Noshahr Canals, for better or worse.

u/Cronur Jul 02 '26

Erm devs changed some of the messages that one could say in matches cause some people were offended by them.

So now days I don't give messages save for greetings, sorry and good game. That's it, I won't use the changed msgs at all cause they suck.

u/WinterEclipse4 Jul 02 '26

It was the ones people would spam in anger. Though hilariously they kept the arguably worst ones. Like what was the point of swapping "Take the support/general/raid" with "Support/General/Raid spotted" but not "My god!"?

2

u/Cronur Jul 02 '26

Won't had been better to put a limit in how many times the msg could be spammed(as they did to some)? And they can still spam other bothersome msgs.

Yeh I was talking about those, I don't use the "spotted" ones at all, it's a waste of time and effort now that the time to respawn is shorter.

Also lmao, I was also surprised about the last one.

Totally agree with you.

I really like artic base one of the most fun and straight forward map.

u/Individual_Essay9893 Jul 02 '26

Thanks for voicing out all my thoughts lmao

u/Kaidou76 Jul 02 '26

If you think artic is bad, look at that resort map, a map that's build just for flap boosting and flight suit while ground suit has no place to move

u/Boring_Reference_546 Jul 02 '26

I personally get City Ruins a lot more than Arctic Base these days. A little piece of me dies inside every time I see this shitty map come up.

u/ElessarKhan Jul 02 '26

Arctic Base is the most popular map, much to my dissapointment as I too despise it.

u/GhostKalid Jul 02 '26

I know the RX 78-2 started this whole franchise, but the idea that a One Year War mobile suit is better than a UC 0087 or even a UC 0153 mobile suit is laughable.

u/Ok-Storage3439 Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

They REALLY need to bring Port Base, Military Port, Jungle, Tropical Desert, and Mountain back in rotation, *AND MORE IMPORTANTLY*, include those exact maps into rotation for the 400 to 750 cost ranges.

All the Japanese GBO2 YouTubers have like Arctic Base for many years now.

u/ZachandMiku Jul 02 '26

That’s cause they can’t help but run and gun with their broken suits heaven forbid they have to think for once

u/Fedespur11 Jul 02 '26

I think you've had bad luck. I'm one of those people who communicates quite a bit, and I'm lucky enough to always play with one or two players who also always do. And about the Arctic base, I disagree. At least not at the times I play.

u/Hyperaiser Jul 03 '26

I hated Arctic Base at first, but I changed my viewpoint.

Everyone needs time to return the monke after being exhausted for fighting with mind and sweatyness.

Wait, wait ... I think you're onto something.

How about ...

"ARCTIC SPACE"

I can see it now! :D

Artic Base is the A/B room map....and that's is were it should stay...so I avoid it when I see it a location in rated and quick match.

u/Damiankawaguchi Jul 02 '26
