We keep all current maps, gain 2 more.
We get a variety of SIs which change the layout of each map.
Day/night cycle.
There are currently 4 maps active, and 3 "deactivated" variant maps. Even looking at the baseline, that means we'll have 6 maps, each with 3 possible SIs that could appear on them. That gives us 6 x 3 = 18 maps. Add the differences in lighting - which as we've seen in the past, make a difference to the feel of maps even without changes in layout. If we assume they have 3 different types of lighting - One for daytime with the system's star overhead, one for night with maybe a moon visible in the sky and a star-skybox, and one with the local star on the horizon (or just below it) with twilight/sunrise/sunset ambience.
Yea if I paint my car pink and put some new spotlight on it, its still the same old car, that is not good enough at all, who would like to run another 6 months on the same bad map as we are doing now.
The map have to be brand new and get rid of the beta testing map,,, I am so sick of them..... |

The map have to be brand new and get rid of the beta testing map,,, I am so sick of them..... PART of the map is terrain layout. That won't be changing for existing maps - at least not significantly, but 2 new maps will be added. Part of the changes are purely cosmetic (updated graphics) or cleaning up terrain glitches - which fit your example. But part of the layout of a map is the positioning and the types of buildings you can find. THE BUILDINGS WILL BE CHANGING FROM ONE BATTLE TO THE NEXT. New building/layouts = new maps. There are 18 variants, NOT including the lighting changes, and I'm hoping that the changes in lighting can actually - as environmental effects on maps in previous builds have done - change things more than just altering the colours a little. If you want to use cars, it's like saying we have 4 cars now, but in a couple of weeks, they'll not only repaint the old cars and add a couple of extras, but also give us several other versions of the same type of car, with different paintjobs and different extra features, and a selection of versions of 2 new cars while they're at it.
So will the roof for DS be liftet, will the map be much bigger, will we be able to really use strategi. or will it just be some movement of buildings, then we will have 6 more months of deathmatch in all modes and ,,,, jipppii not.
Dont get me wrong but I would love this to go well, but the activity in our corp has been dropping much, and the only reason not many have uninstalled is that I have told them, 6 th may, it will all change, and they will show us some of the game called Dust514, where we have been promised depth , it will be hard , like now its a walk in the park, and its not even good on it.
I am going to fanfest, I will apploude if it great what we get presented, I will shout out and ask questions if its just bad what is presented, I will tell them, I was just right here last year when you presented the game, I have played it a year, and this is it...
Lets hope they will show us the real game Dust514  |
