The current skirmish maps are still small. At release there should be some 5KM maps.
It's not clear yet what mission types districts will have but it'll probably be more like skirmish than ambush.

That makes sense. I love this game.

Similair to the trailers we have all seen where the dust mercs are coming down from a completely different side of the map as reinforcements. Take over one district, move to the next (still needs defending).

Interesting fact:

At 7.6 m/s sprint speed it would take you 11 minutes, without slowing down, to cross from one side of the (5KM) map to the other.

Something tells me you LAV/Dropship guys are going to be getting a lot of favors from us infantrymen.

5km we need to have 100 vs 100 to get some kills?

If you remember the first skirmish version, it had events that triggered a second phase of combat where the factory facilities became accessible.

Considering the huge map, the ability to dynamically change objectives and red zones, it seems likely that they'll be aiming at having battles that move across the map as objectives are captured or lost.

Thus you could have multiple 16vs16 battles on the same 5x5 km map, all dependent on each other. While the most interesting scenario would be for the last big battle to merge lots of teams, PS3 hardware limitations probably make that not feasible.

These r good points. But the original skirmish was still a small map compared to the available size. But if u take ur theory and look at the rush mode on bf3, then it is possible. Some of them r very long maps.

And the poor ps3. To get this "big map" to work, it will look like we r playing doom2.

5km map = 25sq km
Thats a lot of map ! About the same size my home town of fifty thousand

Have you ever played MAG very big maps and 256 players all at the same time and that game getting on for 3 years old hope things have moved on since then .

All im saying is they need to extend the game time of skirmish if thats how they will determine to winner or loser if the MCC gets destroyed or not. Im sure they probably will make it harder to destroy the MCC. I was watching an older video and they were sayin somethin about these turrets that you get after 20 or 30 mins into a match. Now that sounds like a long battle to me. I would love to get off work, take a shower, then play till bedtime in one battle the whole time. Maybe thats why you can restock up to 100.
