It's not really fair to say that there should be more of these fuck off huge maps in each season and say that it should be possible because it doesn't take a lot of time to create an open landscape when you've just complained that they are 90% open space.
slender isle
Takes more time than it has ever done for previous games
arctic grove
Although they have open space, you still need to understand those maps take time to make. 3-4 maps on the scale of 2042 maps per season is a dream someone that doesn’t understand map design would advocate for
lean bridge
Takes more time than it has ever done for previous games
Tomorrow new season pass starts
slender isle
If you think the average size of the maps are like Sinai desert (but with more stuff on them) they’ll take a while
dusky blade
If they’re insistent on making the maps large then they can do that, it won’t bother me, or they can downsize the maps instead
Either way they could make more
lean bridge
Hello
arctic grove
Yeah personally I’d like two a season. I think two is fair
slender isle
You think it’s easy to do it, maybe you should. The max we’ll see is 2 a season because the maps are twice the size of the older maps with more props etc on them
dusky blade
We used to get DLC’s with upwards of 6-7-8 maps, plus half a dozen new modes
arctic grove
Not to excuse 1 map every 3 months. But your expectations should be regulated by reality
dusky blade
You think it’s easy to do it, maybe you should. The max we’ll see is 2 a season ...
I could, I’ve worked with games before, but I’m not the one being paid for it lol
cosmic sequoia
god i wish they would nerf the fuck out of the super hind
arctic grove
Half a dozen new modes, most of which were probably played within a couple months duration of the DLC releasing before to this day it’d be a miracle if you saw a server running them. 6-8 significantly smaller maps (and probably bad ones too for that much quantity)
cosmic sequoia
why does it still take 6 aa issiles to take it out
slender isle
So you’ve worked with games before but don’t understand the difference between the old and new games? Or the old and new devs? Or the state of the industry due to many many things?
dusky blade
There’s no difference. Games like bf1, had maps which were significantly more dense, and we had more, in fact the modernised engine should make it even easier for them
slender isle
Half a dozen new modes, most of which were probably played within a couple month...
Russian DLC sucked ass. As did the naval dlc for bf4 and then one entire dlc for bf4 was just bf3 maps
cosmic sequoia
they used to care about the game and have time to develop the maps
now their managers make them work on battlepasses
dusky blade
Why would you argue to settle for less?
arctic grove
I would say we are arguing to settle for what’s realistic to expect
slender isle
I’m trying to say you’re really not thinking it through on the differences between let’s say bf4 and 2042
dusky blade
I’m speaking games like bf1
eager spire
Games like BF1 also had less players in a single match, and also didn't have to account for things like grapple hooks and wingsuits.
arctic grove
This game isn’t 4 on both what the maps are designed for, and how content is implemented into it
eager spire
BF1 and BF2042 are not comparable.
dusky blade
How does players per match equate to the releasing of maps?
cosmic sequoia
V.V
slender isle
Because you have to design it around 128p?
eager spire
the maps have to be made to accommodate the maximum amount of players that are gonna be on it.
dusky blade
It’s already been made clear their current map design around 128p is easy to make
cosmic sequoia
they shouldn't have made any 64 player modes or supported any consoles that could only do 64 players..
eager spire
i'd say the opposite is true by the relative lack of map releases.
slender isle
Are we forgetting that bf4 on Xbox 360 was like… horrific?
eager spire
If this shit was so easy to make then why are they having to remake all of the base game maps cause they were so terrible?
cosmic sequoia
"easy to make" doesn't mean good
slender isle
Mind you, the OG maps were made under really shoddy leadership
cosmic sequoia
the maps play like BR maps. not like a battlefield
dusky blade
Well the maps we are getting are still, very open, just have more terrain elevation variation, it’s not a massive amount different
dusky blade
So, you really can’t excuse it
slender isle
Or stranded?
dusky blade
Exposure is 90% open land man
slender isle
It’s literally a cliff
arctic grove
Time to travel has been reduced on reworked versions of the maps, additional cover assets to provide cover for moving around the map alongside terrain elevation. Basically did everything people wanted
slender isle
With 3 different heights of play
dusky blade
My point is the new maps DO have this elevation, it’s an improvement, but would not require significantly more dev time to make
Yet we are still getting very very very little content
arctic grove
Exposure as a map apparently was designed to test verticality
slender isle
Reworks are basically entire map redesigns, and we are getting entire gameplay changes soon too
So it’s not just content we’re getting, it’s also entire changes to the fundamentals of the game
dusky blade
Yeah…they’re adding passive abilities to particular specialists and locking certain gadgets behind others
That as well, would not take a massive amount of work
I mean unless the code is super messed up and messy which it probably is tbh
ebon pilot
It's also balancing
arctic grove
You’re always regurgitating this point, but it’s a worst sign if they don’t listen to people telling them to change the absolutely abysmal map designs
Lesser of two evils for you I suppose
tepid agate
I'll delete my message I don't care.
slender isle
Balancing, play testing, UI changes, plus changes to how portal functions with 2042 classes
dusky blade
What do they have to balance regarding the changes?
slender isle
Wdym what? Lmao
arctic grove
It’s a good thing you did. It’s a bit annoying seeing you constantly mention how they’re reworking the maps a year later. Like what are they supposed to do? And those things take time
dusky blade
Wdym what? Lmao
The changes you mentioned are regarding the specialist
tepid agate
Have fun with the game
slender isle
That is, beyond known
It’s like you don’t actually want them to do anything to the game except put out new maps
dusky blade
The only changes are passives added and restricting of gadgets
arctic grove
Have fun with the game
I have plenty with it
dusky blade
What part of that has to be balanced and tested?
tepid agate
🍻
slender isle
What part of that has to be balanced and tested?
Like the entire thing? Lmao
ebon pilot
The only changes are passives added and restricting of gadgets
they definitely didn't switch the classes and design new traits of two specialists or anything
arctic grove
People demand they change something, then say “too little too late, it’s been a year and they’re doing this” when they, suprise suprise, aren’t working on one thing, and changing gameplay decisions/entire map design takes time 
slender isle
It changes up how every single element of the game has been up to this point including gadgets, vehicles, weapons, and specialists
dusky blade
If they’re switched, and not changed, it’ll play the exact same role as it did before
And design traits are minor adjustments, not comparable to anything like abilities
They won’t break a damn thing
slender isle
You know literally nothing 😀
tepid agate
You should drop it I already have and deleted my messages. Enjoy it
arctic grove
Are you sure it’s addressed specifically to you?
slender isle
They won’t break a damn thing
Rao’s entire role is basically being redefined now.
As is Irish and Crawford
tepid agate
Only you know that
slender isle
Vehicles have to be rebalanced as now not as many people carry AT
dusky blade
You know literally nothing 😀
I’ve got constant insight into how games are made, have made work on some myself, known many people in particular from studies such as sledgehammer games
I reckon I know a bit more
slender isle
Damn that’s crazy
arctic grove
Well it expands to be a general statement. Just more so at you since you’re the one that is usually here making that point
eager spire
Vehicles have to be rebalanced as now not as many people carry AT
vehicles were already not properly balanced for the amount of AT that was in the game.
slender isle
vehicles were already not properly balanced for the amount of AT that was in the...
Exactly so a rebalance
tepid agate
I dropped it. Move on
arctic grove
lunar finch
slender isle
But this guy seems to be “I know about the game industry” but still has no clue about battlefield or what’s happening within this game
arctic grove
You wanted to know who it was addressed at ¯_(ツ)_/¯
dusky blade
Yet you’re the one claiming restricting gadgets will require significant balancing, testing, etc
Nah bruv
tepid agate
Silence is a good medicine. I'll be silent now.
eager spire
I highly doubt he knows anything about map creation and how Frostbite works.
arctic grove
Toniq has always had rather questionable takes
eager spire
he knows about as much as any of us.
dusky blade
I know a good amount of map creation, not much about frostbite
Is impossible to really
Is Le secret
eager spire
so why would you think you'd have any valuable input?
slender isle
Okay toniq, mind telling how having completely different gameplay would not need to be tested and balanced?
dusky blade
I don’t, I’m debating the issue with this guy that things like, minor changes, don’t require significant work
eager spire
Because it's likely nowhere near as easy to do things as you seem to think it is, in terms of map design.
dusky blade
It’s not, map design is hard
ebon pilot
I don’t, I’m debating the issue with this guy that things like, minor changes, d...
Ah, I remember when I said "doesn't require significant work" to a feature I'm working on.
I said it back in May.
Designing and programming hard.
dusky blade
But it is undeniable the map design of 2042, in a map like old kalaedescope, would be more simple to lay out and design than one like any from apocalypse from bf1
Is so, let’s why I quit doing it hah
But there are definitive truths despite that
eager spire
BF1 never had to account for grappling hooks or wingsuits while making it's maps, though.
dusky blade
It’s not like the existing maps accounted for grappling hooks or wing suits to begin with
eager spire
yes they did that's why they're so massive
dusky blade
The grappling hook in particular ruined objective points
slender isle
Bf1 didn’t really have to account for classes much, they were mainly designed around everyone just having a gun and then a vehicle/cavalry being there too
eager spire
i didn't say they were accounted for well.
slender isle
Make everyone be close to each other is basically the bf1 design
dusky blade
They made a general attempt to account for the player count and gadgets by making it very wide and very elevated, carpet fixes never work and are quite useless
No particular element was ever accounted for
Maybe besides the player size, but point here is the gadgets and specialists
slender isle
Wait, which objectives have been fucked by the grapple hook?
dusky blade
Quite literally all of the ones that had typically un flankable routes become flankable
Think on the orbital tower, from the lower stairs area on the big tower, to the top level
slender isle
Give me one because all the objectives I can think of you can just run around
dusky blade
You could zip up and no one would see it coming
The whole ship on discarded
As well
eager spire
to be fair, you did say "why aren't there more maps per season, they're mostly just wide open areas" right after saying that you didn't like the wide open areas, which is the entire reason every single base game map is having to be reworked and using up time that would likely be spent on making new maps.
slender isle
The ship literally has zip lines
slender isle
This sounds like a skill issue because you aren’t ready for someone to come from an area you know they can come from
Like I don’t see Mackay as a problem
dusky blade
You can’t predict something when it is unpredictable
It’s never an issue of mine
But it is an issue
arctic grove
It’s pretty easy to hear the zip line actually
slender isle
Really the only map I can think of that has this problem is the exposure C flag cause you can jump off the roof and grapple into the windows
arctic grove
First cue you hear is it latching onto something. Then you literally hear the Mackay coming up the zip line
slender isle
But that’s a cool feeling
dusky blade
to be fair, you did say "why aren't there more maps per season, they're mostly j...
It’s why it’s best at this point to scale maps down significantly, focus on smaller maps as a whole with more focus on minor and some great terrain elevation with medium levels of denseness in its object placement
They’re somewhat abiding by that with the new maps
eager spire
eh, Mackay can be a problem in very specific situations. I remember when discarded came out and one of the first clips i saw on the map was someone dying to a Mackay that had grappled on top of one of the lights attached near the top of the inside of the ship. That's annoying.
dusky blade
Too much time wasted on empty space still however
slender isle
Too much time wasted on empty space still however
Which maps reworked have empty space?
Liek with no cover/open areas
eager spire
It’s why it’s best at this point to scale maps down significantly, focus on smal...
yeah but I don't think scaling down the maps significantly is an option while still having 128 players. They cannot just reduce the playercount of the game, not this far in.
slender isle
Which new maps man? You’re clearly choosing to run over an open field than use the cover provided
eager spire
Maybe the new game won't have 128 players.
dusky blade
yeah but I don't think scaling down the maps significantly is an option while st...
Come on, the original maps were far far far too big
slender isle
Come on, the original maps were far far far too big
And they’re being scaled down for 128p still
eager spire
yes and that's a complaint they've clearly heard and that's why the map reworks are happening.
dusky blade
I do think map sizes like stranded are better
eager spire
Doesn't mean they're gonna go back on having 128 players in the game after running with that for over a year at this point.
slender isle
Stranded is so small. Orbital is probably the perfect size in terms of map
slender isle
Except the wasted space space that takes up 1/3’rd of the map
Where is the wasted space?
slender isle
Yeah… so you can spawn on either side of the ship
spare elk
bf2042 working better than warzone 2 rn
next onyx
There isn't so much wasted space anymore now.
hexed mango
oooh escalation neat
next onyx
At launch it was bad.
slender isle
Right… There’s a couple assets there so@you can spawn and not die to Helis
hexed mango
and i was correct about blue color pog
dusky blade
It’s 1/3’rd of the map man
hexed mango
boutta change my background rq
slender isle
It’s 1/3’rd of the map man
Thought you liked small maps
dusky blade
I never said that
hexed mango
slender isle
Wouldn’t it be “too big” if you extended it
dusky blade
The map extended would still be far smaller than any map from launch
slender isle
You’d probably complain that the spawn zones are still wasted space
Stranded’s main area is the boat
That’s where everyone is
You seem to be the only person complaining about big spawn zones
Maybe you die too often and spawn there a lot
dusky blade
Because most people don’t look into maps anymore than “too big too small”
They don’t bother to think why this particular thing isn’t good

There might be an adjustment but I doubt as much.
solar obsidian
cant wait for them to buff liz missile at some point and the meta for a few days becomes tv missile chaos
jaunty fjord
I'm hoping to reduce McKay's mobility
lis tv missiles should only be installed on vehicles
next onyx
Yeah lis doesn't need a buff.
hexed mango
positive comments on a battlefield video for once 
lis needs a slight buff, she literally is only useful against citizen/field vehicles
she does like < 30 hp of damage to tanks for a minute long reload/regen of ammo
while, tanks can just repair
solar obsidian
lis is fine, im just joking because anything more damage to her missile would mean a single squad can completely lock down tanks
hexed mango
i think damage is fine, she just takes ten and a half years to reload and get more ammo
and not many people play her consistently for her to be effective
hexed mango
mastery is so effing annoying with her
ok anyways i need to go back to studying for finals
hexed mango
Considering the fact it's remote controlled its enough of a caviate.

Well breakpoint had low sensitivity with no deadzones for controller it also has less than 60fps so when you play that then play 2042 the game Is more fast paced and your used to slower aim and fine aiming control you you destroy people in 2042

The XM8 was the military designation for a lightweight assault rifle system from the late 1990s to early 2000s. The rifle was designed by German small arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch, and shares design and engineering with their G36 rifle.Wikipedia

Something about it is strange considering ea’s history

I feel like the dev team is basically more comfortable now with the server so we'll start to see content spikes in the future I imagine eoscailly after all the reworks are done
It's gonna give devs more time to focus on other things
