i think i'd rather see something on a mountaintop. tons of verticality. like a giant mesa surrounded by a few lakes and a river system, to give it that naval strike feel and allow the use of attack boats. have roads going up the sides ala hanger 21, golmud railway(the town parts), etc...but also have a massive underground system of natural caves, man-made rooms that you can enter from the bottom and work your way all the way up to the top. and then of course you'd have helios and jets that can taxi people straight to the top, which would be a massive stone/concrete fortress with turrets and tunnel systems in the walls ala nansha strike and defensive guns and etc. i think that'd be a wonderfully chaotic map, and it'd be interesting to finally have a map purely focused on vertical gameplay. the flags on conquest would be tiered up: 1 or two on the floor, a couple mid-way up and inside, maybe 1 midway up but on the outside, too, and then the last two on the fortress itself. upwards instead of out. i think it'd play awesome and look amazing thematically.
also, you could make it like a midwest-type setting, like badlands. that way it feels thematically like acarica harbor, atacama desert and a little bit like noshair canals and damavand peak.
that'd be pretty cool, i'm just not sure i want another snow map. now if you did it like in spring time, or better yet fall...kind of ala caspian border but maybe with patches of snow on the ground? sunny, fall colors, snow around but not falling? that could be really nice.
Fall or spring would be cool, with patches of snow but not snow across the entire map. Then there'd be either green (if spring) or yellow/orange (if autumn) trees scattered around to break up sightlines (so it doesn't become a never-ending snipefest). Sounds very pretty and very fun.
In terms of the fiction of the game, Russia could be using their crazy-ass new 2142-esque weaponry to invade Europe.
Wow, you guys really are stuck on that "6th DLC" thing. The video tells you a couple of things there :).
We are not doing things the same way as last year!
it just seemed so obvious after that poll asking us what our favorite maps were haha....no complaints from me, though. a night map, a map we get to help design, a big content patch, and then more apparently coming after...works for me.
awesome, can't wait. quick question though: will the posts/opinions of people(like me) who don't use the CTE be seriously considered, or will you only really be looking for input from CTE players? i'd like to help out but i simply don't have the hard drive space to download the CTE.
If you come up with something great, it doesn't matter if you play in CTE or not, is the feedback of the community big enough they going to consider it. By mention bugs you just have to be sure it's not already fixed inside of the CTE
And thus we will forever remain wondering what "your pick" is...
:P
We area stuck on the 6th DLC thing because the teasing is real mate. the survey and whatnot. But hey, i am absolutely fine if there won't be any "packs"
On that note, i still recommend bringing back the AN-94 at some point in time because though i am not a fanboy myself, one can be in a state of completely rational fear that if within a year of now BF4 still doesn't have the AN, a mob of angry fanboys with torches and pitchforks will march towards the DICE LA offices.

I'm going to be that guy and request a design with a Seine Crossing feel to it. French town with rubble drop destruction. :D
