Procedurally generated Operation maps

Agreed, would love if this could move into the officially "Nice to have" and would be an excellent addition for multiplayer to help prevent it from becoming stale.

Honestly, I do think that randomly generated would be better and drastically increase replay-ability. That said, I think that it can be done with the same maps, with more maps added eventually. I understand if the maps, and perhaps even the pathing through the map can't change (or at least change with a simply patch update), however you could swap around enemies encountered, increase/vary the appearance of 'mini-bosses' (randomly appearing single carnifex or hellbrute, with an accompanying reward would be mandatory), randomly spawn little mini events or some other small changes to the game play. So while the map and some of the hard points may not change, each play through feels different. The addition of new maps will help alleviate this problem, but ONLY if it's a frequent addition. Otherwise why play the game if you've already played it through once or twice? Play something else for a few months till the new map comes out, play the game for the new map a few times, maybe unlock a new piece of gear if you're close to unlocking, then play something else till the next update comes through.

Love the settings you described for new map ideas, especially the derelict ship. However "procedurally generated" maps just feel empty. This game has so much life because of all the small details everywhere. 

I like way more hand-made maps than procedurally generated empty space. 

​The repetitive nature of the missions makes the gameplay feel too monotonous. More randomness is definitely needed to keep it engaging over time.

Defo, I think in time more maps will be added, environmental ideas always help.. longevity and conglomeration is key!

Our concern is games that we want to play often lack the capability to maintain its audience and although you may have a road map of where you intend to go the modern day gamer will more often then not complete a game in mere days. When we come across a title we fully support and wish to remain engrossed in we feel a deep sense to get in contact with the creator. When the game warframe came out the community got together to help digital extremes create content by giving them ideas to keep the product alive 11years . it's still going. With so many bad games coming out these days that no one wants to play or even pay for there's not a lot to look forward to. So when you come along with this massive title we need to know there going to be content. And we need you to know we are fully behind you. You have done a great job on this game so for us this is a journey we don't want and are not ready for us to see end. Maybe what we are asking is a tall order but then again (take my money) coz we will pay for it. But it's up to you where you go from here , your fate is in your hands and we are waiting with out money in hand. 

That's too bad about this one.  I hope they are right and can keep it going without procedural maps.

I would love to see this.

I think the way Remnant 2 handles this would be a good model to consider: where you a pool of building blocks which are assembled in a psuedo-random way each time you start a new adventure, and then within specific areas you have further random "injectables" which change the content in various ways, like maybe you find a crashed spacecraft in one playthrough, or maybe there's a secret passage that opens to a new special area in another, or maybe in another playthrough you find a unique item that changes a boss encounter, etc.

Space Marine 2 also has the AI Director in operations.

When I think procedural generation I think things like Darktide's AI director, that one focusing on enemy and resource placement, and Warframe's map generation utilizing tilesets they craft and fit together like puzzle pieces. It'll be interesting to see SM2's take on it. 

This doesn't get the love that it deserves.  

While the beautifully crafted maps are absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous - it will be hard to keep many people from getting bored.  That doesn't mean abandon the custom crafted maps - but also have some procedural ones that help with longetivity and player retention.

Amazing

@Tatoskok - Please look at Penguin's comment.  Can we get this added to "Nice to have"?  

This is something I'd be interested in to, great idea.
