Then they [DICE] should add another game to work into their series offerings. a proper BF game, even if it only sold 5-6 million ...

DICE could have easily kept the conquest game mode for Battlefield and dedicated the rest of the game modes to the Casual Call of duty Console Crowd (4-Cs).

Campaign Singleplayer, Co-Op, Rush, Squad Death Match, Squad Rush, and Team Death Match game modes for the 4-Cs.

Conquest game mode for Battlefield.


Maps: 5 to COD; 3 to Almost COD; 4 to Almost Battlefield

COD: Operation Metro, Grand Bazaar, Seine Crossing, Tehran Highway, Damavand Peak

Almost COD: Noshahr Canals, Strike at Karkand, Sharqi Peninsula

Almost Battlefield: Operation Firestorm, Kharag Island, Caspian Border, Gulf of Oman

My favorite maps are the open air ones, like Firestorm, Kharg, Caspian and Oman, but I do enjoy Noshahr, and of course Karkand and Sharqi.

I like the big maps because I love flying, and I love the vehicle side of Battlefield; there's more strategy involved when a tank is headed your way. Plus, it's really fun to be air support for your team, especially if you have a good wing man. I'm talking to you Tiberains and Repcommando! Great pilots are hard to come by, mainly due to the differing turning speed between jets. I do miss bombs though. Rocket pods just aren't the same as dropping a couple of bombs on top of a tank.

COD: Operation Metro, Grand Bazaar, Seine Crossing, Tehran Highway, Damavand Peak:
I like all these maps (some more than others) for a bit of urban I/O
In order of preferance:
Bazaar, Seine,Tehran, Damavand, Metro (the odd round)

Almost COD: Noshahr Canals, Strike at Karkand, Sharqi Peninsula
In order of preferance:
Karkand, Sharqi, Nosehair, Wake
Strange to class Karkand and Sharqi as 'almost COD' when they are (almost) identical layout to BF2......Oh well

Almost Battlefield: Operation Firestorm, Kharag Island, Caspian Border, Gulf of Oman
In order of preferance:
Caspian, Kharg, Firestorm, Oman

I disagree with the BF2 remade maps being put in the 'almost CoD' bracket, they should at least be in the 'almost battlefield'.
The urban half of Karkand appears to be faithful to the original, although the industrial side has been reduced to 2 flags. Strangely you can access a reasonable amount of the area behind these flags so it's a shame Dice chose not to recreate the original Cement Factory flag instead of the 'new' Warehouse flag.
Wake seem identical to the original, but Gulf of Oman and Shaqui have been altered.
I like most of the maps, Tehran highway being my least favourite. I enjoy all the IO suited maps as these compliment my style of play. But do enjoy Capsian, Firestorm and Kharg, usually at detriment to my K/D

Anyone notice the similarities between OP Firestorm and the Hostage crisis in Algeria?

[pershainovitsh]

I don't.

I thought the layout of the refinery and terrain.
Seemed similar to me, amazing it did not blow up during the assault.
