I pre-purchased it a while ago myself and have no regerets. Infact I'm more excited for it now than I was before tbh

As I was just saying in IRC, I would be too tbh. Drop zone is still enjoyable but if they had only included that one map in the beta (or that was the only map I'd played like you) I would have been questioning my earlier choice of pre-purchasing it and wondering just how much of this game I'd likely end up playing come release. It's fun, but a small map with no vehicles and only 16 players wouldn't have convinced me to pre-purchase this if I hadn't already done so. Hoth on the other hand... Huge map, both ground & air stuff, 40 players, little indoor area with tunnels too, shit going on all around you.. THAT'S the stuff I like (and why I've always preferred Battlefield over CoD) and it was Hoth that really sold this game to me. Walker Assault plays like Rush mode too in that you progress/push your way through the map - just one end of the Hoth map is bigger than the entire drop zone one too.Whizbang wrote:I'm still on the fence about this one.
It's a bit smaller than some of the maps we're used to in Battlefield, yep, but I think they've found a happy medium myself. Whilst I do say "the bigger the better", sometimes the Battlefield maps have been a little too big. Most of em are great but when when they're so big that there's just masses of landscape with no action and you have to walk & walk before you find any - not so great. Hoth feels just nice to me. It's big enough to make it feel like you're on a battlefield with everything that's going on around you, perfectly suited for the amount of players it supports and you're never too far from the action.Whizbang wrote:So I played a bit of the Hoth map. While it is a bit larger and more things moving, it still seems.....small. It also seems that if you are on an Empire side that knows what they are doing they can easily win the map every single time. And that seem IMBA to me as every time you're just a winner or a meatshield for what's going on. I'm also trying to figure out how to make those powerup icons work for me but it seems that it's 50/50 as to whether I can get them to work or not. I'm still undecided on this one but I must admit that I am feeling like saving my $60 for another game(s) than spending it on something that might only occupy a short space in my rotation.
