DICE Team@Zhukov211Ironically, the Portal maps have double the vehicles than 128 player maps do. And the Portal maps have way better cover.
The only reason you're being dominated by transport aircraft is because there's no other aircraft to kill them.
@S3SSioN_SoLPortal maps are smaller than 128
player maps. Some are around 50% to 33% the size of the core 128 player, 2042 maps.
Please stop insulting our intelligence with the “vehicles numbers are a problem on portal maps because there aren’t enough vehicles” logic. Previous Battlefield games destroy this premise. Flood Zone for instance has 1 little bird, 1 Huey per team and ZERO jets. The map amazing!
If the 2042 team redid Flood Zone we’d see 2 Hind, 2 Condor, 2 attack helicopters, 4 tanks, numerous Hovercraft and Recon vehicles all spamming 30mm. Let that sink in a moment. It’s absolutely insane to even contemplate how miserable that would be for infantry.
64 player game modes in 2042:
- Half the number of total infantry(so less players with AA, less Rao hacks, less players running Lis)
- maps half the size so it’s easier for aircraft to cover all objectives
- same number of vehicles from 128 player maps = obvious game design imbalance if you deal in the realm of logic and reason.
@Zhukov211Insulting your intelligence? Lmao I did no such thing. It's literally a fact that the BF3, BFBC 2 and 1942 Portal Maps allows more vehicles than the 2042 maps despite being exclusively for Conquest 64.
What you're saying further cements the fact that maps need vehicle specific counts. Are you trying to imply that Flood Zone wouldn't benefit from the other vehicles? Why would it not? That map's skybox would be crazy fun to dogfight in.
Also, in Portal, you can still play Conquest 64 but dial up the player counts to 128 players, so your argument that all AA potential is halved is flawed.
