New map?

I was wondering that as well; my son wanted to jump onto the new map to mess around in Solo play and it's not yet listed on the rotation.

Not quite certain if it will just show up in whatever play mode it's associated with in online multiplayer or not.

It sounds like (surprise, surprise!) it was live for a short while, then went away.  A few people reported playing on the new map earlier.  Ditto the new mystery portal event.

Yeah, I noticed that Town Hall was Open but the Portal inside was deactivated so obviously we're having technical issues like we did last week.

I was looking forward to experiencing the new map today but I suppose I can wait- at least for now we can work on unlocking the new variants.

The new map is available in the non-Turf areas such as Vanquish Confirmed, Gnome Bomb, Suburbination, etc. You can select the new map if you create your own private game. If you play on PC this will be the ONLY way to ever see this new map since no one on PC plays anything except Turf....sadly ☹️

The new map is basically a re-skin of Zomburbia.  I've only played it once, but it was really nice to feel a little bit lost on an ops map again.

Play a bit onlinel. Once you join a match with this map, it will be unlocked to play in Ops mode and single player mode.

I really like the new map. It does look a lot like the entry area of the Zomburbia TT map but has significantly different terrain and I love the stuff going on with the huge laundry pile and the Zombie machine that is placing houses in the background. The pace and layout remind me of some of the old GW1 maps.

It took a lttle while yesterday for the map to show up in the rotation but once it did it seems to be available in all game modes except for Turf Takeover.

Playing through it definitely game a bit of a GW1 feel to the game and it is nice to have that feeling of having to explore a new area again and find all of the best spots for offensive or defensive activities along with the other shenanigans which go on during a match. 

So basically the new map is only working for other modes except turf takeover?

Sad, I was expecting a new map of turf takeover because there are only two maps for plants to defend now.

While some of the Vanquish/Suburbination/etc are mirrored by Turf Takeover maps taking place in the same location, like Time Park has Seeds of Time and Lunar Landing has Moon Base Z the maps aren't identical and the Turf Takeover map doesn't actually feature the location used in it's smaller cousin.

I know some FPS games, like Battlefield, usually create the big version and then just limit you to a smaller portion for fast paced games like Team Vanquish which take place in the same location it's pretty obvious that GW2 creates two completely separate maps when they choose to use the same setting.

I agree that the Frontline Flats environment seems perfect for a stretched out Turf Takeover game running along the length of that giant wall if such a map was developed we'll need to wait for a future content release to see it.
