Suggestion: Strategic Battle Map Before Matchmaking
Right now, when you press Play, you get thrown into whatever battle the game picks. I’d like to suggest a different flow: instead of an instant loading screen, you see a strategic map of the campaign and choose where you want to fight.
How it could work:
- After pressing Play, a strategic map shows the available battle locations.
- You select the location you want to play on.
- Before the match starts, you see key info about that battle: the date, the factions involved, the type of terrain and the objectives.
Why it’s worth it:
- Loadout built for the battlefield: you enter with equipment suited to that specific map (for example, close-range weapons for city fighting, long-range ones for open fields).
- Battle-specific weapons: some historical weapons and gear would only appear in the battles where they were really used, which makes each battle feel unique.
- Knowledge before the fight: you know what to expect, so you can plan your squad and tactics instead of guessing.
- A more relaxed experience: you play the kind of battle you are in the mood for, instead of getting a map you dislike again and again.
- Stronger historical feel: it makes the campaign feel like a real war you are choosing to fight in, not a random queue.
I know queue times and balance are a concern. This could work as an optional mode, or players could pick a preferred region and the game fills the match when enough players are available.
What do you think? Vote below and tell us why in the comments.
- Yes, great idea
- Yes, but as an optional mode
- No, I prefer the current system
