Before you worry about new maps, at least fix the terrain on the remaining ones.

Map assets already?

I'm still falling through the map...

I'm still glitching when walking next to a wall...

There's still invisible walls..

etc. etc.

From what I understand, Dynamic map elements were something that were supposed to be originally added into the game in the first place. At the very least, player deployed installations are something that will eventually be added, and doing so would change a lot of gameplay tactics as it would let people more or less reshape the map. Personally I think things like destroyable/hackable walls, gates, roadblocks, bridges etc etc would be great in this game. Not just as an AV addition, but as an overall gameplay element as well. It would give more hotspots for players to fight over and increase the need for tactical thinking and teamplay. It would also add to the immersion of the game because why in the hell would all these buildings, forts and facilities NOT have doors, gates and obstacles to get through.

This. Just simple gates that have to be hacked / breached with explosives would be an excellent start.

I know you could say "Why have gates when the enemy can drop in from the sky...." but we will go with the theory that main bases have jammers / sky shields. The enemy has to drop in from a location outside the main base.

More food for thought.... the 'gates' could actually be forcefields or shields that block main entrances to outposts that would need to be hacked.

Other than the few pilots who actually work with infantry and vice versa (the rest is just scrubs trying to stat pad sadly), vehicles and infantry don't really work together, which is sad. And honestly, there's no real way to do it without being real creative, which makes me sad.

So, I was just playing BF4 with my bro, and we were riding around in a HAV (oh wait, sorry, tank), and genera;;y having a decent time. I started rolling through a squad of dumbasses, killed them all, and crossed a bridge. I got blocked by a road block. He hopped out my tank, and pressed a button, and it lowered, allowing me to continue to rip **** up.

Then it occurred to me

Dynamic map elements like that creates a situation where infantry could work with infantry and vice versa by having obstacles that they would need to fight through (caused by the enemy) to continue their path of destruction

But this is Dust, and a simple roadblock won't cut it, will it?

I've thought of a couple for both sides, and I want you guys to think of some more:

for vehicles:

[list]

draw bridges

hard to kill retractable walls that can be hacked

proxy mines have their sound taken away, but can be hacked

AAA installations that can be deactivated/destroyed by either hacking them or blowing them up with REE's (are resistant to vehicle turrets, but not to RE's).

for infantry:

easier to kill walls that can't be hacked

terrain impassible by infantry, but passable by vehicles (probably by air, open areas can be considered by land vehicles).

installations that fires at things such as the MCC that needs to be blown up, not hacked like a mobile NULL cannon that's weaker than the regular ones).

You don't even need to go that complex. As is, MCCs only get so close to the action and the only other way to fly into something is a dropship, which aren't always the best option especially if there are installation turrets or AV in the area. There's also plenty of maps where the buildings have ceilings or large covered areas dropships can't really get to. And on top of that, Gates would still serve to slow down other ground vehicles from just cutting right through a facility and buildings can still have just simple doors to bust through.

Personally, I also feel that the game types in general need a massive overhaul and should always be set up in an attack/defend style meaning that the only MCC in the sky would be the attacker's and the defense would just spawn in the base proper. In game modes like that, fighting over these doors, gates, roadblocks or other destructible assets would be that much more important, even if the defenders had to worry about people deploying from the sky to get around them.

Whenever the tooltip pops up about there being a "command node", I always look at it as a hieroglyphic because CCP never put it in the game.
