Please, does anyone have an explanation as to why some players are complaining about this update?
I’m excited to now be able to play ALL THE MAPS the game offers!
because before I didn’t understand the reason, of going up from BR and ending up not seeing some maps from the beginning, and ending up getting stuck on just 3 VERY SPECIFIC ones.
Now everyone can use their new JETS and weapons on all existing maps, as well as their tactics and strategies.
I speak for myself, I play a lot with Russia, and I end up getting bored of it very quickly, only playing in BERLIN, REZEV and STALINGRAD. Maps that get boring, and that you already know like your hand!
I saw some players complaining in the official announcement about positions that could be used by CAMPERS, but this happens in every game and map. They should be relieved because now, they will have almost an infinity of maps to have fun during the day!
Because there are no new things emerging, the maps remain the same as before. Such a test holds little research significance. Some players believe that historical accuracy has been compromised again. There is not much to get excited about.
Because the maps are a reflection of historical campaigns, and it is a massive break in immersion to be playing 1940 equipment in Berlin, or 1945 equipment in Moscow or Tunisia
As a few players commented on the official post, this is a game, so like everyone else, there’s no point in wanting to follow the historical script without LYING a little!
If at the beginning of the game they wanted to follow the story, now they realize that unfortunately the limit of the story has reached and they will have to start using the FICTION strategy!
I understand the historical context, and everyone who is upset about it, but as they said, it’s just a test!
and I speak for myself, I don’t care about the story told, I want more and to play!
Thank GOD many players here are like me, and just want to exchange shots using some STG, AS 44, THOMPSON and so many other famous WW2 weapons!
Finally, I respect everyone who wants to follow the historical context, but I’m sorry when it comes to ONLINE GAMES, there’s no way to do this for a long time!
This game is not like BF or COD, where a new one comes out every year, and the stories can even be respected.
Here the game has been the same for years, and needs new weapons, vehicles and maps every semester or even quarter.
So, launching all this, you can’t unite everything and leave it in just a few maps due to the historical context, and as the DE said, they only did this following THE IDEAS AND COMMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY ITSELF!
Because they know nothing about history of WW2 and also can’t remember that map selection is coming this year (probably very soon). Game was never truly Historically Accurate from the start as you could use ahistorical weapons, vehicles and also squad organization with them not consisting mostly bolt rifles.
I’m on the same line of thought in that regard, as I’ve been having a blast playing high BR Soviets and Germany in Moscow maps. I also think it brought new life to an otherwise stale map rotation of just Berlin and Stalingrad and now we can play everywhere. I’ve played all factions today and noticed some strengths and weaknesses in certain maps that could be polished. For me Tunisia today was a bit of a mixed bag, as I had a win but also lost terribly on a previous one. But on the other hand I think Moscow plays great (maybe except for Quarry map). In my mind I’m pretending we’re fighting somewhere random in the snowy eastern front, and for this reason I don’t see the reason to call it ‘Battle of Moscow’ anymore and we could call it something else instead. But aesthetically, I feel Moscow maps in high br look the part and play great.
I understand where the complains are coming from and why this affects players to what they’re used to, but let’s remember this is just a test.
If, and that is a bit “IF” when it comes to DF, but if they do as they said they were going to do and let us choose our own maps, then they should be able to add all the maps they want, and if we choose, shouldn’t ever have to play Tunisia again. However, I get skeptical when this feature was kind of in the game to begin with, so it shouldn’t take to much work to reinstall that feature, yet, how long has it been since they said they were going to do it?
1 ) Preservation of the remains of the historical component (those crumbs that they have not yet managed to cynically executed and trample into the dirt)
2 ) Pseudo-opportunity to choose maps. The player can choose the BR that corresponds to his most preferred set of maps. Some people just hate Berlin and Seelow. And some even Stalingrad. And someone wants to play in Tunisia and only in Tunisia.
3 ) Very open early BR maps with excellent line of fire from one end to the other, which will turn into a concentrated essence of HUMAN SUFFERING if there are high BR tanks on them.
