By the time we get the re-worked stadium it will be almost half a year. Keep in mind that most of that reworked map is already created and all the assets a re-used. How can it possibly take this long to re-work a single portion of a map?
It doesn't, it's part of the scheduled dripfeed of content to release half-way through a season to get people to come back. Jeff Gerstmann was talking about it on his podcast a week or two ago similarly for CoD, the only difference is that CoD's is more than a single map and gun halfway through (I wouldn't know as I don't play CoD/follow it)
I know we’re being dripfed content - that many of the assets are just reuse of existing stuff - and that the amount of content in BF2042 is small compared to at a similar point in time for earlier Battlefield games - but…
I’m just having so much fun playing Redacted and the occassional TDM or “normal” CQ game. And I’m optimistic about Haven being a really good and enjoyable map so I’m looking so much forward to the update tomorrow!
If nothing else, the weapon changes will be interesting to check out - headshot multiplier change, buff to torso Body Armor vs. buckshot and that other type of shotgun ammo (fletcher or whatever it’s called) etc.
@VOLBANKER_PC I’m curious as to what’s in the bag for S8 (folder structure below had been datamined a while ago):
