Conquest

Re: Conquest

All the conquest maps are just remakes as far as I know. There's no new maps.

I wouldn't consider yourself lucky that conquest has been added. After all, conquest is Battlefield and I think DICE/EA realised that and added it in knowing they'd have a lot of unhappy customers if they didn't.

Anyway according to IGN conquest has the following maps:
Harvest Day, Oasis, Ascension and End of the Line

Re: Conquest

No transport helos? thats a real shame, that would have made conquest so much better. Oh well, i'll consider myself luckily that we even get conquest mode, and for free as well.

Are all the conquest maps new areas? Not remakes of the current maps? I read somewhere that one of the maps is Ascension, i really hope that was a lie because i HATE Ascension lol.

From the videos you can see that there is some old areas, but there is also some new areas(meaning, never seen before kinda thingy).

And yes, one of the maps is Ascension, but they made it a day map. So they basically removed the fog and the night time setting... So, i don't know, it might be good...

*edit*

BrokenMachine was faster..

Re: Conquest

Oh there not new maps? didn't know that, I'm not sure why i had it in my head that they were new.

Im only considering myself lucky because they actually acknowledged their, mistake in not adding it, thats quite an achievement considering its EA/DICE were talking about lol.

@Stonecold - Hopefully making Ascension daytime will improve the map, i don't know, theres just something i really don't like about that map, not sure what tho

I don't like that map either that much. Maybe it's because of the fog.. But from the video, it looks pretty good, and im more than happy to try it out...

Re: Conquest

I am really just waiting for Wake Island as it would be perfect for both modes. Its been in every BF game except the console version.

Of course I think all 4 maps will be good for conquest although I wonder what Harvest Day will be like because they said it now has choppers. Anyways more chance to a chopper is always better, but hopefully they add some armor to it against infantry weapons.

Re: Conquest

Is it an actual patch addressing game issues as well as conquest mode? or is it literally just the game mode? Not that im complaining if it is.

I hope your waiting a long time as Wake was a really poor map in BF2 and put me off playing it ever again. I really don't understand why people think its so great. There were much better maps in BF2 and 2142 that could be remade if they were going to go down this path but I would much prefer to see new maps if they ever decide to add any.

@Flamesfan

I think this will just add conquest mode and not address any of the current probs as I reckon they've probably had to put in a lot of time to get conquest mode up and running. So it'll probably be a month or maybe more after conquest comes out before we see any patches that fix any probs in the game.

I think Wake in BF2/142 was ok. But i wouldn't want to see a remake from that in this game. I mean, enough is enough. They don't have to put it to every Battlefield game out there. It wasn't that good...

But if there's gonna be a remake from some map, Liberation of Leipzig from Northern Strike would be awesome...

[Flamesfan_21]

Re: Conquest

Hell yea, Leipzig was awesome, easily the best NS map, would make a great BC map.

And yea i agree about Wake, i was never taken with it at all. I know there are no jets in BC but like Stonecold says, enough is enough. BF2 had alot of great maps that were just never played, it was a real shame IMO.

Ahh ok, I can live with that, Conquest will probably have a few things that will need fixing anyway, so they can do them all at the same time, Thanks.

Re: Conquest

Did you guys play Wake though in 1942. It was amazing especially as a ctf map. The BF2 map as not as good only due to imbalance of the jets and helicopters. The BF2142 was only a pseudo-remake and in my opinion was that good. I think Wake island would be a perfect map for BF:BC as the helicopters are not imbalanced and thus the gameplay of wake would stay intact. It really is a great map even in BF2 if the air power was not as strong.

Re: Conquest

It's a blast when you sneak to enemy base, plant C4 to the tanks/APC's, wait until they disappear from the minimap then just click the button..

Oh lol I did the same thing the whole time in 2142 :p

It wouldn't be a BF game without stuff like that!

Yah 1942's Wake was the best (although I miss some bushes and stuff to hide behind)

I didn't play Wake in 1942..

But anyways, with the Frostbite powering up the new Battlefield, i think now it's the perfect time to leave Wake behind.

It's been already in almost every battlefield game ever made. So it's getting really old.

Get my point?

Re: Conquest

Wake is only a good map for some air combat... but thats about it. I never really played it.

It would also be a waste of the Frostbite engine... I think we're better off leaving it in the past.

Re: Conquest
