Re: Why is the tornado in every map?

Despite the massive hype and marketing around extreme weather, it seems to be the only one they have in the game. Honestly makes me wonder if it wasn't just some fun side project one of the designers were working on that went too far once marketing got wind of it.

Pun not intended.

    According to DICE General Manager Oskar Gabrielson, an entire team worked for a year building the tornado into BF2042.

    It shows.

    Everything else is unfinished.

  • @OskooI_007 Could of saved a bit of time and have a few destroyable buildings (on a large scale), like Shanghai in Battlefield 4. Changing the capture point position entirely. Would have made rooftop capture points actually viable (along with getting the assault vehicle drop ins into certain areas only).

    @OskooI_007 He basically says it was an fun idea they had which they pushed through...what about the other "levolution stuff"...seems like this random event was developed on expense of other dynamic world events..?
  • It's bloody annoying when it cuts across the extract zone in HZ exactly when bird lands, can suck you right out back of extract bird

    You have no idea how sad this sounds.

    @OskooI_007 Supposedly there were a bunch of weather related things in development, but they ran out of time and focused on the tornado. Who knows though.
