I´m worried about the map reworks.
Look at Renewal, it´s now a total disaster where two teams run in a straight line towards eachother.. wtf?
While i like the addition of more cover the removal of several flags and something like 30% of the actual gaming area was a complete disaster. Now there is just an ugly empty space where the warehouse used to be.. really? Who´s dumb idea was that? That is just lazy and incredibly poor map-design.
Devs.. please try to remember that this is BattleFIELD not Battlecloset. The maps are supposed to be large and make you think about what flag you should attack or defend next. Having to engage your brain is what used to set Battlefield apart from other fps-games. (sidenote: please bring back destroyable commander assets).
If you want to "streamline" maps for Rush-mode then do that, in Rush-mode. Please don´t destroy Conquest-mode by making the actual play-area small and stupid like what happened to Renewal.
p.s. still no real fix for Hourglass? You know, the map that makes people quit when it loads because it´s so boring to play? Maybe actually include the amusement-park etc from the concept art for that map?
