Yeah everyone has maps they hate. That is why it is so nice to have the Pacific rotation no problem queuing or grinding out maps you don’t want to play.
I expect to see lots of servers with 8-10+ queues with players trying to play one of the maps before the Pacific maps. Depending on what map you join, by the time you finally join, the match for the map you want to play on will be over or almost over.
Thanks, DICE for giving us what we truly want. 5 v 5 Squad Conquest! Get rid of those nasty Conquest rotations with big maps and lots of vehicles and 64 players. They don’t represent what Battlefield is anymore.
Seriously though, it’s going to be hard going back to the old maps. There’s only a few that I can still enjoy unfortunately.
This gives a bit more detail about their plans for playlists going forward etc and is worth a read.
I particularly liked the line -
When 5.2 launches, we’ll talk about how the playlists change, but to be absolutely clear, we can see how much you’re loving playing on the Pacific and we’ll do what we can to keep you where you want to be!
Sounds promising.
I think DICE has listened to the message we sent as players.
On a different note, I feel these sort of updates should be posted here on the official; forums. There is a lot of interaction going
on that we never see unless we follow Reddit, Twitter etc.
Thanks for sharing the info. Agreed that they should be posting this on the official forums here. Maybe they don’t since sites like Reddit and Twitter get a lot more attention. The forums here are pretty much forgotten about unfortunately.
Yes they do get more attention. I just feel information like the above should be posted on here at the same time, especially as there was a thread
asking for the playlist to be kept.
It just always feels a bit like second hand news by the time it appears on here and it’s usually been linked from other sites.
