Development Update 15AUG

I'm glad there's at least 1 more map coming.

Sadly, I literally couldn't care less about the lie services' promotion for "limited time modes".

These limited time modes just show how out of touch the "creative" team is. It makes little sense to create entirely different experiences from Conquest and Breakthrough, the bread and butter of Battlefield. Rush is for when you want toasted bread, and is undeniably a staple to the diet.

I hope they cease with these ideas going into the next Battlefield, and introduce a more dynamic "limited time event" that takes place within the already established Conquest, Breakthrough and Rush modes. Such as a little "Secondary Objective" in each sector such as needing to download data from a terminal which broadcasts your location to the enemy, all within Conquest, Breakthrough and Rush modes whilst the "Primary Objective" of those modes remain on the table.

I honestly thought, the Leviathan event was going to be the kind of mode that starts out as PvP but then in the end becomes PvE as both teams unite to destroy a rogue machine of some kind. Who ever is the creative director really needs to step up their game. I'm honestly not surprised given the lack of narrative in 2042. Unknown soldiers bring way more to the table because then players create the narrative, I still to this day, don't understand Falck's reasoning for entering the war as a No-Pat? To do what exactly, find her son? Because entering the war would help her achieve that goal... I stop caring when logic goes out the window.  Irish remains my favorite character because I'm invested with him from Battlefield 4, even if people don't quite enjoy Battlefield's more realistic take on campaigns i.e BF 3, 4 and 1, I would much rather be playing as Blackburn, his son or daughter if he had any children, or as Jonathan Miller's son instead of any of the specialists in 2042. Campaigns are how you make characters interesting and relatable... not through some cringe one liners such as "Don’t be sad, this is just how it works out sometimes".

I'm glad they hyped this up so much. It's fine to get a month of returning events while the next season is delayed, but DICE really don't know how to frame these things and they dramatically oversold what was essentially a blog post with a few screenshots.

Getting big, "We've delivered on our vision and we're ready to move onto the next exciting chapter in Battlefield." vibes already rofl.

So I only expected one new map and I like the looks of it so i'm not sour on it. 

My hope is we get a few new weapons and a few more portal weapons added in S6. 

Ill cross my fingers for two more seasons after 6 and a couple more maps. 

I know I should be mad about the lack of content but honestly all we have ever gotten is a new map and a few new weapons soooo that's all I really look forward to. 

Is it known when redux will start? I'm actually looking foreward to it.

Yup, that's shown at the end of the video.

Reusing graphics is not a problem for me in small amounts.

But with this upcoming map I once again get the clear impression that everything with BF2042 is sbout EA spending as little money as possible on the game.

There was so much recognizable graphics content in the new map - graphics structures from existing maps simply copied and reused.

It’s disappointing IMO, even though I should have expected nothing else.
