EA Drops Battlefield Multiplayer Map Details

Posted Oct 13, 2011 at 3:08PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: battlefield 3, DICE, EA, multiplayer maps

Haven’t had enough Battlefield 3 news yet? Then check out this update on multiplayer maps! Paris never looked so good.

As I said earlier in the week, it’s inevitable that we’re going to see a massive push of Battlefield 3 information in the final weeks before its release. With the beta over, EA needs a steady stream of information to keep people talking about the title. So, today over on the official Battlefield blog, they’ve gone ahead and released some information on the nine multiplayer maps that will be included at launch.

Here’s the breakdown on a few of the maps, but you should check out the BF3 blog for the screenshot gallery and further details:

OPERATION FIRESTORM

One of our largest and most vehicle-friendly map, Operation Firestorm is the classic Battlefield gameplay taken to the extremes. Size-wise, and with some puzzle skills, you could actually place three Atacama Deserts -- one of the largest maps from Battlefield: Bad Company 2 -- within the playable area of Operation Firestorm. This is a wide-open desert map where the burning oil fields in one direction are contrasted by clear blue sky in the other direction. Construction sites dotting the area bring interesting possibilities for infantry to hide in elevated positions, spot vehicles, and take them down by mortar or RPG.

OPERATION MÉTRO

Operation Métro is the map from E3 and the Open Beta, so some of you are familiar with it already. It is a map that perfectly illustrates that we want to take our players on a journey. Especially in Rush, you can see how Operation Métro is almost three maps within one: You start out in a lush park, then move into a bombed-out section of the subway tunnels, to finally emerge in a dense urban environment outside the Paris stock exchange. It’s a map that asks you to constantly adapt your class and load out for the diverse situations you will find yourself in.

TEHRAN HIGHWAY

One of the inspirations for this map was a photo of a night time skyline of Tehran which now is basically the same vista that is available in the game. You start up on the hills above the city outskirts and eventually work your way into town. This atmospheric night-time map, where you can see rockets lighting up the sky, has a balanced mix between vehicle and infantry focus. It plays length-wise and starts semi-open with plenty of room for vehicles, but ends on a much more urban and tight note with less focus on vehicles and more on infantry.

DAMAVAND PEAK

Damavand Peak, internally known as Base Jump, is built on the idea that we want players to be able to base jump, and features our most extreme height differences ever in a Battlefield map. Attackers in Rush and Squad Rush will start high up on a mountain ridge above a mining facility. The only way down into the valley is to somehow make the 500 meter descent. The further the attackers progress in the map, the more vehicle warfare will be present. There is also a large tunnel section dug into the mountain side at the bottom of the map, and the view when you look up at the starting location is spectacular.

I certainly appreciate the information, but I’m not sure it’s possible for me to be more excited about the game. What about you?

iPad 2 News: Wife Says No to iPad 2, but Apple Says Yes

Posted Mar 21, 2011 at 9:31PM EST by QJ Staff Listed in: Tags: apple, ios

This little tale may turn out to be an Urban Legend, but it's such a cheery contrast to all the stories about people standing for hours in the cold trying to get an iPad 2, I'm going to post it anyway. Since the iPad 2 has been out less than two weeks, Apple is paying careful attention to items being returned. If the same problems are being reported frequently, then they know those need special attention. Already bleeding backlights and yellow screen blotches are being reported by some buyers. According to sources close to Apple, all returns are being carefully scrutinized for major defects in production. That's why one particular return caught the attention of the folks at Apple. A man sent back his brand new iPad 2 bearing a sticky note that said: `Wife said no.` This sounds like grounds for divorce to me, but maybe the wife doesn't love gadgets like I do. According to the source at Apple, a couple of executives heard the guy's tale of woe and sent him a new replacement iPad 2 with another sticky on it-this one saying `Apple said yes.` We'd love to find out this husband's name and his whole story-and whether wifey's going to let him keep this one.

Homefront lead designer on familiarity, massacre fatigue, and risk taking

Posted Feb 26, 2011 at 4:04PM EST by Karl B. Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: homefront, Kaos Studios, THQ

The first-person shooter market that Homefront will be wading into next month is pretty competitive. That's something that comes hand in hand with being such a big slice of the video game industry. What makes thing all the more interesting is that Homefront will be pitting itself up directly against new installments in a few of the most reconized names in the FPS market. Developer Kaos Studios, however, think that their new IP has what it takes to stand up against the big boys.
