Two map developers at Digital Illusions (the company that made Battlefield 2) were kind enough to take a few hours out of their busy schedules to play through and comment on each map included in the newly released <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/news/tbf2mappack2.php">TotalBF2 Map Pack 2</a>.<blockquote>David and myself - Niklas - (two of the level designers of BF2), sat down for a few hours and looked closer on the maps in the map pack. We wrote down a few comments on each map. I know my self how much developer feedback can boost a level designer and hopefully we'll see many levels in the future with the same amount of effort put in all areas from overall game play to the detail of where to place small objects.</blockquote>Read the comments and download the pack (if you haven't already) <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/news/tbf2mappack2.php">here</a>. You can also read a few map-making 'pro tips' the DICE employees included <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/news/maptips.php">right here</a>.

Re: DICE Reviews TotalBF2 Map Pack 2
It would be really nice if DICE and EA allowed some of the better custom maps to be used on ranked servers. -
Re: DICE Reviews TotalBF2 Map Pack 2
Yeah, but then they wouldn't have the total control they want. Oh well, at least the mapmakers here are finally getting the recognition they deserve.Originally posted by CS-EvolutionComment

Re: DICE Reviews TotalBF2 Map Pack 2
Noo! It's better that the mappacks can be only played in UNRANKED, becouse i just hate all the statwhores, who just think about their own score! I just love the teamplay, what i bearly never see in ranked servers.Originally posted by CS-Evolution
And i give a s##t about the ranks, ribbons or unlocked weapons, becouse when the big mods arrive, im going to stop playing bf2...totally.Comment

Re: DICE Reviews TotalBF2 Map Pack 2
Well I for one appreciate the stats. It's nice to know how your doing overall, as opposed to server-by-server stats like in CS.Originally posted by Hannez
Edit- and dude, what the hell are you hating on ranked servers for anyway? Your stats show you have 141 hours on ranked servers! Troll...Comment

Re: DICE Reviews TotalBF2 Map Pack 2
This is SOOOOO important. There is no point in building a great map, only to have it played by a few players. As it stands now...anyone with poor computer skills can't play custom maps...okay...maybe rightfully so.
A map maker would be rewarded if DICE gave their map official status. I think it would be GREAT marketing/business.
But that's just me.

Re: DICE Reviews TotalBF2 Map Pack 2
Well, i have been playing in ranked servers, becouse:Originally posted by CS-Evolution
1) I haven't found any good unranked servers.
2) All of my friends play in ranked servers and i usually like to play with them as a team.
3) In the beginning i played in ranked servers for weapons, etc, but now i almost got them all (M95 missing, but i suck with it, and jackhammer is locked too, but i got DAO-12) so, im kinda tired of earning all the stuff.
4) I hate all the noobtubeteamkillerdolphinepronebunnyhoppers, who just are beeing to annoying.
If you disagree with me, it's ok, you can fl@me me as you like, but all those things are my opinions.
Btw: Great job Totalbf2 mapteam, your mappacks are AWESOME!Comment

Re: DICE Reviews TotalBF2 Map Pack 2
Im really impressed that DICE looked at the custom maps and actually rated them, it's really nice
I would like to add that, the map with a sunken carrier and the other one with a carrier at the docks were both very original and good looking :)
also, I was really amazed by the size of the carrier...when u stand on the docksComment

Re: DICE Reviews TotalBF2 Map Pack 2
yeah, its nice to see some recognition (try and get DICE to review the Map Pack 1 perhaps
).
What on earth is a WASP? is it the Carrier?Comment

Re: DICE Reviews TotalBF2 Map Pack 2
if there is more of the article, i would like to read it. with as much money as they are making, you would think they could take a little more time and expound more on their likes and dislikes of the new maps. we are making these guys rich and they do a little tiny editorial on the maps.Comment

But then again, most of the forum kiddies loathe people with real jobs because they're "rich".Comment
