I agree.
SWBF has shown that 44 players is the optimal number when it comes to maximizing gamers and minimizing the resulting lag (at least for the consoles).
Its noticeable how much a map plays differently when reduced to 44 players. Flanking and tactics are much more rewarding. Ofcourse some maps are too big for 44 players. I wish Dice actually pays attention to these things.
Also agreed.
More developers need to focus on map size. Make the map areas large enough where flanking can be done but not so large where you hardly see the enemy.
as an infantry player i hate lockers. metro is good because it was designed as a rush map and rush is amazing on it. We need more maps like the Dragon’s Teeth maps and Grand Bazaar/Seine Crossing
I tend to switch off at metro or locker. For what it’s worth its just that run to centre flag, usually C, then it’s just a nade fest. They really need to create other routes around to stop the madness. I know locker sort of has, but still chaos.
I’d love if the (conquest) spread to the outside…Ie. where you start on rush, but presume it would take a major rework and other exit to have this.
Guess some folk love it and why we have veriety. Maybe I should try out a 44 player one.
I don’t really like locker all that much. I just play it because most other infantry options are unappealing. DT chainlink is ok, and I’ll play that every now and again. Guilin Peaks is also Ok, but rare to find a server in East US (I’m not sitting through a whole CR rotation to get to it…ewww).
Honestly I was hoping the grand bazaar remake for hardline would be what I was looking for, but there are no populated servers in the east us, lol.
Propaganda, Pearl Market, and Sunken Dragon are good infantry maps. But I agree with you, if you see most maps as unappealing for infantry (This is what I see as well) makes me hopeful that Dice realizes this and will design better infantry maps in BF1.
Chain link is a great game mode. I can’t understand why it isn’t more popular in BF4.
This mode is called Supremacy in SWBF and it’s doing pretty well.
We tried infantry only on my servers once and it was great imo. I really loved it.
CQL infantry only, that´s the game mode I´m very surprised that´s not used more.
I like the all out warfare in CQL, but I play more infy, and when you go infy only and are constantly being killed by vehicles, well, you know what I mean
