For the love of god EA please change any map on breakthrough that has a capture point on top of a skyscraper… First of all, these capture points only have one or two ways up which is an elevator or zipline that are always heavily guarded and easily defended.Second, the defenders are not penalized in the slightest for a death and just get to respawn right back on top of the point.Third, the defenders get to spawn vehicles and TANKS to hold the point… The attacking team can completely dominate the game up until these capture points and then it’s over. I’ve consistently been leaving games at that point because I already known the outcome. Please please please do something to fix this. It feels like battlefield has taken so many steps back in so many ways and I just want to love this battlefield game like i do the rest of them…

@TheGreasyBiscuitDICE said they are looking into putting the objectives to the ground floors.So yeah even they cannot ignore the almost perfect win ratio of the defenders

@TheGreasyBiscuitIt seems like they just made the levels and never actually playtested them.It would have been pretty straight forward to fix a map like Kaleidoscope. Just put the C1 objective in the plaza between the 2 skyscrapers instead of on top of one of them.I don't see how they could do anything else to make it work. No matter how you change it there will be 64 players sitting at C1 on breakthrough just waiting for the enemy team.

For me the best solution to this is a compromise with some capture points remaining on building rooftops BUT not the tallest buildings in an area like they are now. If attackers could get to the top of 3-4 nearby buildings that were taller than those with the capture point things get a lot more interesting. Snipers and anti armor can be shooting down, people can be using wing suits or parachutes to drop down onto it. Heli's can be weaving in and out of cover behind the taller buildings. The defense has to choose between camping the point or spreading out to defend access to some of the nearby buildings.

Dice has learned nothing from the past. Zavod rush and last mcom being in top floor of a tower.

@b0gart-555 People would just spawn in on squadmates, or on the tanks people always call in on the roof instead.

Skyscraper capture points… wtf?

Seems a little drastic but i hope something changes. It’s unplayable at the moment for sure. Maybe they could have them parachute in or something, idk…

I agree even tho trying to capture those points make for some good pure gaming comedy. Boys go up the elevator and down go a few dead bodies. lol. But yeah, its impossible to capture.

My thoughts on this -- flag stays on top, but spawn point is somewhere else ; bottom floor maybe?

@TheGreasyBiscuit They either have to bring the objectives down or give cruise missile strikes to the attackers to thin the crowds up there

@TheGreasyBiscuit Disabling the ability to call in vehicles on top of buildings would be a good way to go. All in all it feels ridiculous to have tanks and APCs on top of skyscrapers.

If the quad was actually in the game, like in the trailer, that could be alright, but the heavily armed vehicles should be disabled imo.

Just remove the ability to spawn in anything.
Because everyone being able to spawn in anything is stupid to begin with.
As for rooftop objectives, it's one of the very, very few things I like...
