User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Cold Areas/@comment-5043481-20121027164430

I have to say, the tundra has got to be one of the best areas. It just seems well done. I don't like the caves though, and think the snowy mountains excells in this area. Tundras caves are just bland and grey, but the snowy mountains have the grey rock and blue ice that makes it look wonderful. One annoying thing is the whole zone is cold, many times I have left base forggeting this. Favorite monster here is Barioth. The theme fits him so well.

Snowy mountains is also good in my opinion, but dosn't have the same feel as the tundra. The layout of the map and the different kinds of areas are really nice. It has lots of large cliffs as well, which really make you feel as though you are climbing a mountain. favorite monster here is blangonga. He just fits perfectly.

The snowy mountains (and the forest and hills for that matter) both had HUGE cliffs in an area, good for playing 'king of the hill'. You try to stay at the top of the cliff, and whack your mates off with your weapons. It's a shame they removed such huge cliffs in the 3rd gen.
