What is the lore behind the shipping containers? We keep seeing them more and more now on each map so there must be some lore as to why they are there. I mean surely they wouldn't just re-use assets in a cheap manner?!?
And I get why they are strewn about on Exposure, because of the land slide, but WHY are they all over the place on Stranded around the outside of the ship??
Supply chain issues
hopefully we can get some different skins for the shipping containers for battlepass points!!!
I think its less about lazy developers and more about greedy executives, board members, and shareholders. They don't see a clear path to exploitive monetization tactics with this franchise without massive backlash, so they barebones the budgeting. Instead of spending the money to hire and retain adequate number of top talent, and do all the required creative to design new art work and assets we get stripped out structures with no finishing pass and tons of re-used assets. All of the work they've done to "fix" the base maps has been with BF4 assets (obviously modified for the new engine, etc.)

@NazT55The lore is lazy developers? Cut and paste until the maximum object count is reached. Lazy & uninspired. This is what happens when the leadership of a design team is absent, then they run out of time and release a game 9 months too early and pretend it was all part of the plan. God forbid you have a bus with blown out windows you can climb through, or a guard hut. Why are containers all over Renewal? Tipped over train cars and a railway track would be cool. Jesus really they have so many games in the past that were immersive, and cool, and fun… and 2042 has invincible containers. Remnants of a tank battle with 20 hulks on both sides randomly placed between two points. Crashed airliner. So many choices. Dang.
I totally agree there is a lack of imagination, and as a result the maps lack immersion / atmosphere in comparison to older BF maps.
I sense that the containers are an insert joke about the shortage of shipping containers that happened IRL at some points in the past 3 years.
