I can’t find any official comment on it, but it could be buried in a blog, tweet etc? I’m with you though, it’s part of battlefield and should continue to be. As much as I believe streamers/content creators (as a whole, not individually as some obviously cannot be painted with the same brush) are leading to a decline in quality, community focused games and overall are, while great for the gaming industry on a monetary basis, terrible for gaming community as a whole with too much influence over game features/changes. I’m glad they put the information out there (looking at JackFrags) on this. Battlefield is a sandbox FPS, if you can jump around, use game mechanics to your andvantage and get somewhere, you shouldn’t be stopped from doing so and by videos being made on it, it levelled the playing field. Cairo had no air vehicles, sure so you had to get creative, but how are all these people saying it should go going to feel when helicopters and jets are used to get to even higher spots…?
People asked for BF3 / BF4 then entirely forgot what kind of games they were, what maps they had, how they played and what content was in them… I think Cairo, with the roof top players, was back to the good Battlefiled we once knew, minus technical bugs changes, it was close to perfect… people will always be in unexpected places in a BF game, you have to adapt, don’t keep blindly running back to E when you got killed from a rooftop, hoping for a different result… change tactic, fight back, then go back for your flag.
