Absolutely true,
Large maps are what I always gravitate towards, and I dislike the smaller versions. I dislike the shrinking of the play areas in Orbital especially since i play it the most. I miss the stadium in Hourglass.
One of the biggest mods I did in BF2 was to eliminate the out of bounds penalties in maps. Unfortunately, I don't see Dice changing anything back.
The maps were never too large, they just needed more character, cover, and destructibility. I don't know of much of anything in Kaleidoscope that is destructible like the Arica harbor map.
Other than map size I think the game is very good now. The sounds are much better with echo. I can hear the improvements. Also, some of the guns seem to have more recoil which is an added plus for realistic gunplay. I love it.
Thank you.
