DICE Team@EA_Aticwe need more of this, every season should have an event like this. We missed out on one for S1. This is how I envisioned "Live Service" there would be events throughout the season to keep us coming back.
This looks great, so hats off to the team. I expect this to be a big hit and bring back more players.
I hope we get something like this for S3 and S4 and I hope this mode either becomes permanent or is part of the rotation going forward.
The best news ever would be if you were going to use 60Hz tick rates for these 8v8 and 16v16 matches, since the servers can handle it with so few players. Thanks in advance!
BTW, the map thumbnails don't enlarge, are the full size pics on EA.com? The answer is yes here:
OK, you win, I really like the map layouts at least on paper.
Arica - I like the location, linear but points on different sides of map area.
Breakaway - great use of new locations, I like the wide layout (can get to all 3 pts from spawn area) vs linear here.
Caspian - always a fun map, linear with 3 existing objectives and some flanking space in B sector. Might be a little big for 8v8 but we will see.
Discarded - 2 existing objectives, B sector on side. May have an issue with RU only having access to C sector from spawn while US has access to A and B.
Renewal - linear, but looks fun, I like the layout and area chosen as the wall point is the center point. Mackay is going to be your friend.
Stranded - linear, all on or near ship, which makes sense. Should be fun. This is what I was expecting from the map at S2 launch.
Thank you for not using Hourglass, though Exposure, Manifest, Kaleidoscope, and Orbital would have had some cool locations as well.
we just need 100 ribons to unlock everything? (i'm hoping this is the case) if so that sounds fun

It depends on what one means as everything.
There is the box of the free stuff that you get with ribbons and then there is the limited time premium skins that will cost BP.
I am no fan of anything that is "limited time" but whatever. Maybe that keeps them funding development

BP coins don't exist to me, i don't even spend the ones i get from doing the battle pass let alone giving EA more money to buy them. i've never really been a skin guy though unless you count switching camos to match the map/sector of map i'm currently playing
