Original Post — Direct link

If you guys just focused on multiplayer only then I think you could get some sh*t done.

This game needs more maps, guns and factions. All under Conquest, Rush, Operations as breakthrough, squad conquest, and domination. Stop with the single player and co-op BS, no one cares. Stop making pointless game modes permanent and popular game modes temporary.

Edit: I’m not denying that there are a lot of players playing and enjoying CA. You do you. But I think I speak for the majority when I say that I dropped $60+ on this game solely for the multiplayer. And seeing resources on a game with zero micro transactions or paid dlc, get put into aspects of the game I know most people don’t care about. If CA is such a small cog in a big machine, why does it take up an entire section of the roadmap?

Hello people, since I wrote that on Twitter because I saw a ton of comments about this specific subject... Just to clarify about the Combined Arms section of the roadmap (and only this one point) and it's impact on the production. To add more Combined Arms missions (since they were "promised") it literally took ONE single designer. This had not a single impact on the production of any more MP maps.

I, as a person, a dev and a gamer absolutely understand your concern but I'm just a small little cog in a big machine. I just wanted to clarify that little detail.

Thanks guys.

From what I see it's just a bit bellow. Maybe I'm hallucinating? sh*t! Halp!

I imagine DICE is more inclined to use the actual CA player count, rather than a reddit post. It's not like it's popularity or lack thereof is a mystery, they know who's playing it and when (unless they're offline).

So if plenty of people are playing it, they're going to support it, no matter how many people on reddit claim they're not.

I also imagine the team working on CA is probably small, would not otherwise be designing new maps. It's not like the entirety of DICE is putting time into this; they delegate. Since CA is just placing NPCs and structures on already existing maps, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just two devs and a tester working on this.

The most accurate comment, yes.
There are way more people playing that mode than the community might think and like stated on my other comment, the new CA missions did not affect any more map creation by any shape or form.
