Summarize your bug When selecting Arica Harbor: Town via custom conquest mode through the battlefield portal website you're actually playing in the dock area of the map, not the town area that was used in the original game for smaller modes like 16 vs 16 conquest.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You can repeat this issue by creating your own custom conquest mode and selecting 'Arica Harbor: Town' as your map.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game launches you into Arica Harbor dock area instead of the town
What should be happening instead? You should be able to play in the main residental town area of the map, or the map should be renamed to 'Arica Harbor: Docks'?
When creating a custom conquest mode via the battlefield portal website, the map rotation screen offers different versions of the same map based on size
Arica Harbor has two options, the default Arica Harbor, and Arica Harbor: Town which is meant to be a smaller version of the original map.
Assuming the smaller map is meant to accodomate smaller game modes like the original conquest 16 vs 16 in Bad Company 2 you would think that it would be based in the main residental area of the map as the name suggests (Town) - this is also the area that the original game based its 16 vs 16 conquest mode in.
The problem is that in battlefield portal, Arica Harbor: Town is in fact the dock area near the end of the map. Is this a bug? is it poor naming choice? The dock area plays fine, its just not accruate to the original game nore is it representative of the map name.
