Very long map loading times in Battlefield 4!

in Battlefield 3 & DLCs, a new map usually loaded in 10-20 seconds. extremely quickly

but in Battlefield 4, i have excruciatingly long loading times! maps take like 2-3 minutes to load. very annoying

nothing changed on my gaming setup. what could be causing this for me? please help!

my system:

intel i5-760 @3.8ghz

ripjaws 8gb ddr3 ram dualchannel

nv gtx470 1.2gb vram

1tb hdd, serial-ata 2, 7200rpm (for games & programs)

intel 40gb ssd (for windows 7 home 64bit)

  • The load times are ridiculous for almost everyone that isn't on a SSD.  But as you said, you're right.  Watching the performance graph, the load screen persists for a good 20 seconds even though the game is no longer loading for some of us, myself included

  • but there has to be a solution. i cant move the game to my ssd due to its small size

    upon further investigation, i stumbled upon a thread on another forum that said the reason the maps take so long to load is because Dice compressed them in these .cas archives just to save a bit disk space. if we could unpack the map files from these archives they should certainly load faster. i dont care if i had to use 100gb more disc space for these maps, i want them to load up faster!
