Siege of Shanghai

Let's put it on 2 weeks hiatus, shall we?

Great map, especially for Obliteration, but I think most people who played the beta may enjoy a break from it.

Already taken into consideration, and decided agreed.

Already omitted it from our launch map list. We'll re-add it after a week or two.

I'd highly recommend against that, launch with it so people have a slight tinge of familiarity, place it at the end of the rotation? Besides the map will be slightly different since the beta had some things disabled from what I hear. I for one look forward to playing the whole game and not missing maps straight off the cuff.

Wait... Since when do we omit maps because people played it before?

Goes against our beliefs if you ask me..

I have to agree. Great they played the beta but everyone else has not played that map. They should be taking the ups with the downs not the people that did not have a choice.

That 'tinge' of familiarity would be a 'tinge' of unfairness for those who didn't participate in the beta. Makes it fair for everyone, and for those who invested significant time in the map during the beta... they get to experience everything new. It's only temporary.

Like I said. It's temporary. When we add it back in... everyone will get a little bonus of something 'new' to the rotation. There will be plenty of content to satisfy everyone for the first week or two if we omit one map.

Honestly not seeing the logic of removing a map straight off the get go - what about all those random connects looking to play the entire games maps - I fear it'll do nothing but hurt our numbers as people will notice "Oh look, not all maps enabled" and move on. I get you feel others will have an unfair advantage but honestly I don't foresee there being enough disadvantage of newer players to warrant holding back part of the game.

For fuck's sake Max. It's for a week, maybe 2 tops. It won't hurt our numbers... there will be PLENTY of people wanting to play the game in the first 2 weeks. If there's problems with people connecting it will be due to our settings, not our map rotation. Look at the 'top' servers for all previous Battlefield servers. 24/7 Metro... 24/7 Karkand... removing 1 map temporarily won't make or break the server.
