- @RNM4010028 Any of the meatgrinder maps and/or a new one in the same spirit in both All out warfare and Portal.
Oh @RNM4010028,
I thought that a dedicated ground vehicle prostitute like yourself only needed 1 IFV for the entire game? 😎
Or are the other IFV's just in as backup for yourself personally, so you can quickly spawn back in again if those annoying infantry enemies did somehow manage to blow you out of your vehicle and you don't want to wait for your old vehicle to respawn for you to spawn back in again for you to continue your meat grinding session?
I think pearl market is too small a map for 128 players.

Rest assured @SirBobdk ,
The Pearl Market (actually it's jades..) in central Hong Kong has developed a lot since we were there last making trouble in May 2014. 😎
More floors on buildings and more streets expanding down towards the waterfront! 👍
You have the modern day map here:
Nathan Road is where the old map was blocked off inland. But the map designers had taking the liberty to put the waterfront just after the West Kowloon Corridor while in real life it was still like 1km further out to the west. But here in 2042, think its a fine place for us to have some fun again with more of our friends and enemies coming along. 😀
- @CyberDyme Cool! It does not look much like in the game in the satellite photos, but i guess that goes for all maps based on real places.
Only BF map i have walked in real life is Lumpini garden, based off Lumpini park in Bangkok, Thailand. The game version is quite different, but the overall atmosphere is pretty spot on, and key components in the area are covered.

With my work I use to travel quite extensively, so had the opportunity to see most.
Btw just next to Jade Market in Hong Kong you have (had) a densely populated zone called Kowloon Walled City. It is just next to the Jade Market on the map I shared with you, and honestly think that is what the EA map designers had in mind when they made our Pearl Market map. But that name sound probably less exotic versus "Pearl Market". 😀
Over the years, the folks living there built more stories on top of each other, so in the end it looked like a totally wild place (and it was....)
You can probably find some documentaries about it on YouTube, as it used to be the most densely populated area in the world until the state started demolition in the early 1990ties.
It was a wild notorious zone literally without any police or law enforcement besides the warring triads, extreme levels of prostitution, gambling, and drug abuse.
-50,000 people living in less than 0.03 square kilometers...
Photo here just a few years before the forced removal and demolition started.
- @CyberDyme Ah yes, I know it well, and have wanted to experience it since i saw pictures from there in my youth. Unfortunately it is too late for that now though.
Never been to HK, but I was very very close as I was in SE Asia for other reasons during the handover back in 1997, and I felt it was a once in a lifetime even, but it was not possible nor practical in the end. Special city and place indeed. 👍
My brother lived and worked in HK for more than 15 years, so been in and out there many times, as also my own company with office there. Will be interesting to see what will happen to "Fragrant Harbor" now after the Chinese State apparatus appear to put their iron hand on it...
Lot's of other crazy weird places still though to visit and experience in this world, so plenty more fun maps also to make for the EA design team. 😀
