Include new DLC Phoenix maps to challenge mode!

[Derrame]

Hello

i hope the devs read this, it would be great if the new dlc maps are added to challenge mode , so we have new cool maps for those misions which most player play

[Fenris]

Like the others contents they added before to the game, the new phoenix content will probably be added in challenge mode in the next patch.

Are the new DLC maps not in rotation in challenge mode due to a bug/mistake?
Asking because right after the update was applied this morning, immediately one of them was the second map of the Arizona campaign.
Even found a document in it.

Not sure, but they need to add more maps from DLCs to challenge mode anyway.
Most maps in challenge maps are for original WWZ base game, chapters 1-4.
If you want to collect up documents on specific maps it is really difficult.

They already are. I saw the first new map in it 3 hours ago.

Yeah, I'm not gonna check every hour if map is there. I collected all other docs. they need better system for this.

yup they could just let you choose any of the maps available for challenge mode and random gen the mutators for the chosen one.

Choose Mode
Choose Map
Random Gen Mutators

Choose Mode
Choose Map
Random Gen Mutators

nah, that would split playerbase, and be boring
is better to have random map and random modifiers
random is fun and easier to find players

no it wouldnt. quickplay will put you into open public match. wether its boring or not is irrelevant.

Not sure how it would split player base. In normal game queue hosts also chose map to play and you can join via quickplay.

In fact the daily challenge would be more interesting, since by searching a game using quickplay you could get any map instead of fixed 3 maps, which often tend to be the same. Currently you can have the same map in next map roster, just with different mutators.


In Gears 5 they added a mechanism that if map appeared in daily challenge it cannot reappear till all other maps are played.

I think currently we have 26 maps in WWZ with all DLCs active.
So if you use a random generator to chose a map it could go any number from 1 to 26 to pick up a map.

Said random generator could go as well like this: 1 16 7 7 9 2 26 7 7 3 7

As you can see map with ID 7 is chosen too often.
In the case when map with ID 7 is chosen to be played again, it should be simply disabled till other maps are played.

So in above case after choosing 7 for second time 1 16 7 7 the map with ID 7 should be rerolled to some different map.

And preferably there should be an additional option to chose a random map that player does not collect a document yet and host a game.

The problem is that first 4 locations have much higher chance of appearing than last 4. This is serious oversight....

1-4 was added later as END game content. At first release it was even difficult for a lot of vets, probably because we were playing it on Extreme without knowing what to do though lol.
It is not considered "part of the game" that you have to complete on insane/extreme for the sniper skin either.

[Derrame]

yes, I've seen the first 4 chapters more often than the others in challenge mode
