Thoughts?The Good:I do like the flow better, the objectives are now more linear.The added cover and objective updates are nice.I like the darker lighting in E sector (indoors). The Bad:At the start, RU has a distinct advantage in Conquest as they can get to 5 objectives. So it usually starts 5 to 3. Sectors have an uneven number of objectives. B sector has 1 pt, D has 2 pts. My simple recommendation: Make D1 into C2. So C sector has 2 central points, and B and D only have 1. This would make the a lot more even for pts to sectors.

I don´t like the reworked map, idon´t like it at all. I like the added cover, that´s nice, but taking away 35% or so of the active gamingarea of the map makes it worse.There is no "flow".. wtf are people talking about? It´s just two teams running in a line towards eachother. That is not "flow", that´s stupid. This is supposed to be a battlefield game. If you want tight fighting on flags close to eachother make a new tight citymap.Even just looking at Renewal now.. it´s just empty space all around. It´s nice in the small "fixed" gaming area but it´s way worse overall.Some of the best fights were over control of the warehouse that is now just flat ground. That´s not an improvement, that´s being lazy as a mapmaker.Dice.. If you wanted to make a linear no-brain rush-map then do that, in rush. Keep it out of conquest-mode and maps MADE for mobility and vehicles.. please.

@AsahaTx probably a textures thing. Once you have all the textures loaded it should be better.

@Adamonic Not crazy about the “Flow” on this one or Kaleidoscope. I wont play them. I’ve never been shot in the back more than on these new maps. Every time it’s like getting shot by a box or a shipping container.

New Renewal makes my FPS lower about 35~40.
When will the CPU be improved?

Did they move the flags around? Can someone post a picture of the 64 player version map? I’m going to play tonight and test it but I’m eager to see it. I hope they did not delete flags, it was my all time favourite BF map. I don’t care much about cover, it was the distance between the flags and the amount of them that was appealing to me. Thanks.

After my first few rounds I have to say this map rework is even better than the Kaleidosscope one. The map is more readable and flows very good for 128 players. For the first time I didn't relly felt like that it was one huge clusterf#ck at the points. You still were be able to clutch a group of players by flanking them without getting shot from the side from another enemy player.
So far very good job I hope the next reworks have the same amount of quality. I recorded some gameplay, in case you're only be able to read the forums atm.
