Please put all 4 maps on half hour rotation for pubs.

Tonight I tried to play for 10 minutes on the TDM map and couldn't stand it so I shut off because it was the map for an hour. Can we please just get all 4 maps on half hour rotation? This way if you...

@hayhor If it isn't tricky, why don't we have it? Why wouldn't they just push a few buttons and cash in more $$? Everything's there, all that's needed is a config change, right?

There's always a lot more stuff going on behind the scenes. For example, I haven't seen any talk about how servers handle the switching of the maps. Do maps need to get uploaded to servers each match? Do all maps get uploaded at once and stay in memory of a server during the whole period it's borrowed from the cloud?

@DoYaSeeMe Somehow other games with giant maps are able to do it. BF2042 which has gigantic maps and 128 players in a match will have 7 maps when it launches tonight. As I mentioned SW BF2 rotates you through maps almost every time you press play into a match. I'm not buying it is too hard to do. I just think they are featuring the last map with a major change and the new one for some reason. Heck last season we had all 3 in rotation.

@hayhor Hybrid cloud vs fully dedicated servers. Win some lose some, you can't have it all, everything is a compromise. Let's see how able is BF to scale and at what costs.

  Just adding Worlds Edge on rotation with Storm Point is just going to have me playing Apex a lot less this season & to add insult whenever I've loaded Apex to play over the past few days it seems WE has been on a 2 hour rotation.Has Respawn lost faith in Storm Point already or are they just playing fiddle to keep pred teams happy by just adding WE.
  But in all seriousness can Apex & their volatile servers handle a 4 map rotation because as I've been playing the game currently the servers have caused the game to play like garbage with missed hit-box damage so much rubber-banding going on they may just as well add bungee jump mode.

    @Redmattgame I thought Storm Point and WE are the only two maps currently in rotation? They had it on only Storm Point for the first week or two, in order to showcase the new map. I'm just glad Olympus is gone for now. I hate that map, Lmao
