I heard there are other maps / battle fields. Whatever those mean

Its a new map with three battlegrounds and a new outpost and set of sockets, let me try to explain it better:

A map is just a terrain, its what you see when you zoom out all the way during a match. Notice that in every map we can play in different places, the places in the redline appear "empty", only the place in which the fight is happening have buildings. These "places" are the battlegrounds.

I believe we have some 2 maps, one with 3 and the other with 2 battlegrounds. We are receiving a new map, Craters is it's name/theme if I'm not mistaken, and it will have 3 battlegrounds, its a huge map and has a different "feeling" from the current ones.

Now, once the match determines in which battleground from which map we are playing the game will generate random structures to fill the empty space. The empty spaces comes in three sizes: small, medium and large, they are called "Sockets". So the game will load a random structure of adequate size in each socket. The large sockets can only receive the so called "outposts". We currently only have three or four outposts: Communication, Orbital Artillery and Biomass. With the update we will receive a new outpost for the large sockets, the Gallente Research Lab and a set of small/medium sockets that will accompany it randomly in any map/battleground it appears.

Hope this helps.

+1 Perfect!

One question.
That battleground which used to be dominated by lasers and tanks...the one with the rock crags sticking out of the ground. Does that BG only have small/medium sockets? Since I don't think there are any larger "outposts" there.

The Objective in the open is part of the terrain pretty much and never changes, the other two objectives are small or medium sockets, I'm not sure, but yes, that map does not have a large socket at all.

Maps/Environments * Implemented Surface Infrastructure Sets so now medium and small socket components are defined by the large socket component in the map * Introduction of the GÇ£Research Facility" Surface Infrastructure, comprising one large outpost with several integrated medium and small sockets * Three new battlegrounds in a brand new mission terrain: Impact Ridge, Fracture Road, Border Gulch * Added new night mood layer Derp, I found patch notes.

I'll see how my Scrambler Rifle works in it. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to take care with shotguns and explosives and corners in general, but once I figure the best angles to keep the reds in my optimal range I can toast them all no problem. i'm just not going in the first line, that's all.
