Hazard Maps with bonus XP for completion.
Seriously I thought hazard maps was one of the most awesome features in ME3: MP. Even to date I haven't seen another game with maps like that where there is a regular and hazard variant. (I'm sure they exist, but still).
Except it has to be real hazards, not a stupid bar on the bottom corner of the screen. I have ideas I'd like to share, don't want to hijack your thread, but I want to see this in our MP future ;p
1. The Kett can have stasis fields/traps on the Derelict map - or since it's right in the map's description, they can have the Scourge there much akin to the scourge spires throughout the single player, but obviously for a hazard variant they would have to be Strewn through doorways and such to make it difficult to navigate.
2. Firebase Magma could have an active volcanic map, where the entire map shakes periodically, and stone/magma rains from the sky as explosive projectiles. Forcing us under covered areas.
3. Firebase Zero is totally a ripoff of Firebase White from ME3, you can tell they used it as a reference 😉 So I would say the hazard should be the same as in that game - viscious blizzard winds that limit visibility severely.
4. Firebase Sanstorm - they could once again copy an ME3 map and go with a Sandstorm, I mean come on - it's right in the name. But I think something like semi-powerful dust devils being whipped up and throwing enemies around, and occasionally stunning or even throwing us as well, would be cool.
5. Firebase Icebreaker - I'm sure if you read Firebase Zero you were like "why didn't he say that for Icebreaker" - well I think Icebreaker deserves a something bit more. They could take the Kett heat lamps form Single Player - or the Angaran ones, and do like they did for Voeld in the single player. Extreme cold hazard and we have to warm up throughout.
These are just hazard ideas for the current maps, but whether any of this could ever happen is up in the air, these are just my wishes.
