@DYSPROssium So basically the WE version of blowing up Skull Town/Thunderdome? Give me a break. Stop blowing up fan favorite drops. You don't see DICE removing Locker and Golmud Railway from Battlefield 4 or Caspian Border from Battlefield 3. You don't see COD removing fan favorite maps from their games.

If they want people to drop north of Fragment, don't replace Refinery. Add new POIs between Refinery and Overlook. People don't drop there because there's literally nothing to rotate to. This changes nothing.

@ArchAngeL-PCX What? You couldn’t be more wrong. Skulltown/Thunderdome equivalent would be Fragment & either sorting or train yard gone...

@Cro_Pittt cause I dislike that POI with a passion. As I see from the pics, new fan favorites will be here!

@Koochi-Q exactly. Refinery is a safe drop for ranked, unlike the real fan favorite 'Fragment' which is just a haven for hardstuck Plat IVs. They just changed the less popular ones, instead of the giant looming problem.

It's the equivalent of changing Slum lakes to spotted lakes, and doing nothing to skulltown.

@Koochi-Q Well...How about Sorting AND Train Yard gone? That's what just happened lol.

And about these sky cars? When they say they want something like the train back, why not just...you know...bring the train back. lol!!

  @ArchAngeL-PCX he meant remove Fragment with Sorting/Trainyard I think

    @ILostT0Loba No I think he was being sarcastic since Train Yard got basically nuked in this update too lol. So two of the 3 did happen.

  @ArchAngeL-PCXWell... sorting & train only got heavy foot traffic when the trajectory came from Thermal station... Any other trajectory and it was basically maybe 1/4th of the lobby going to those 2 POIs combined (at least for my lobbies xD) and half the lobby to Fragment. Other trajectories was basically half-3/4th of lobby to fragment or relatively near.
  
  So with these 2 gone now, that 1/4th won’t make much difference I think since they’ll likely go to new POIs for now and might still occupy the same space as before, just now in those new POIs. But we shall see.
  
  The train I’m with you. After Epi, my most likable spot to drop was train. If they’ll bring that back on a new route somehow I’ll wet my self! Okay I won’t, but I will be happy... okay I won’t since WE will likely still suck, but I’ll be glad that’s back. But lets give gondolas a chance... who knows...
  
  I might wet myself yet XDDD
  [EDIT] What I meant before is for your comparison to be really accurate for WE Fragment def needed to go but I couldn’t decide which of the 2 I mentioned best acts as a comparison to Thunderdome, Train yard or Sorting Factory.
  But screw Train yard, that one goes, so I’ll count it XD

    @Koochi-Q True, since Thunderdome and Skull Town fed right into each other. I guess I was just looking at it from a raw numeric perspective rather than map orientation.
    
    But yeah, screw Train Yard. I never liked dropping there. If we got to lose one I'm fine with that lol. But I get it. It's popular. Just like I can't stand Operation Metro in Battlefield, but it's popular and I don't want it removed from the game. I don't see the point in pissing off people that like to drop there.
    
    But the train...that was so fun dropping there again when we got the original WE map back in the event. It's a hot drop like no other!
