    Double Assault Lines?

    What's the deal with Highway Tampa being a Double Assault Lines map. What's the point of making a new mode for just 1 map? Why not make it conquest and titan?


    Apologies if this has been discussed.

    It's all marketing.

    There really is no such thing as Double Assault Lines. The ONLY thing it does it make it so that you can't capture the enemy main until the other points are cap'd. That really has an insignificant effect upon game play...

          I could care less about cap'ing out the enemy. I want to shoot them, blow them up and zap 'em with my defib! :salute:

              NS.

              Double assault is almost nothing its a huge map and if its very hard to cap out pac on NS image how it is with 5 walkers, 7 tanks, gunships and everything at the same time.

                  Same as normal Conq
                  But you cannot take thier back base right away. have to take everything else before you do.

                    Assault Lines in NS ment that EU would have to cap all the flags before the last one, to cap the last one.

                    I'm guessing Double Assault Lines works for both sides, and their last flag can only be capped once all the other flags have been capped.

                      Oh ok.

                      There's another reason to get NS.

                        Wait..if its as Micster says...then is it both sides start off from one uncappable? or what? Coz if its like other NS maps..damn lol, the PAC will simply fall on the EU from the start since in assault lines PAC gets all the CP first

                          In HT both sides start with no flags so both sides starting points are uncappable until one team gets all points which rarely happens.

                            Exactly, It's one of those maps where all the flags execpt the Command Posts aren't Capped yet. It's probably a Rarity for the last flag in Double Assault Lines to be captured, because by then you know that they've already lost it.

                              I disagree. I think double assault lines is the best innovation yet in the battlefield series. It avoids the need for maps like Suez where one side can lose any and all the flags at any time, it does away with the initial rush to the back to squeeze them from both sides, and most excitingly, it makes it impossible for noobs to whine about "baseraping their uncap" when we have schooled them and taken every other flag because now we are actually supposed to cap it. Bravo DICE, bravo.

                              Imagine a Camp G where you can't rush towards the back base and squeeze them from both sides. My god you would actually have to rely on (gasp) teamwork and superior tactics. My god, the horror.
