and the Core gameplay designer i don’t know that position is what work for the game but please if you are a Core gameplay designer stop commenting on memes and comment the gameplay issue posts.

remove mmg category and import them into lmg pls crap visibillity+camping MMGs reminds me of CoD MW2 multiplayer. Battlefield is fast paced game and that realism thing doesn’t match for this thing. just make MMGs like MG3 that before we had in Bad company 2

Lucky me. I guess as a Level Designer I can keep commenting on none serious posts. See what I did here? ;)

Jokes aside, if there is an issue where it makes sense to engage with, we do. Especially if there is an issue were we need more information on it, but normally if let's say a bug is found and posted we take it and forward it or fix it if it's our area. As an example, I took the issue where two pre-round spawns on Marita Frontlines were up in the air (players falling from the sky at the start of the round) and fixed it today. Yet, I normally don't comment on it. For one, there isn't really a point - actions matter more than words and second, it's difficult because even if I would say I fixed it as I just did, it takes weeks until it arrives in a patch (testing, console verification, patch dates, etc). Besides, we haven't be too good with sticking to our promised dates lately. 😅

So at the end of the day it really depends on the issue,but rest assured, we see most of the (upvoted) posts here.

Making maps (Fort De Vaux & Devastation) , modes (can't talk about this just yet), adapt modes to existing maps (Rush, Grind, Outpost, etc and improve existing content (Panzerstorm overhaul, bug fixes, etc). I do a lot of different small things, but normally MP Level Designers help creating new maps. That means taking care of the gameplay side of things in terms of map creation like flow, balance, gamemode setups, etc.

okay you are making infantry focused maps. atleast that two maps are better than metro. but you know this is battlefield i and alot of people want to play on big and well placed maps like we had in previous title caspian border,nansha strike,st.quentin scar things

for seriously you devs actually awearing BF V maps are not good as previous title? and if you guys do pls fix the placement and size of the maps just like Suez In bf1

That actually happened by chance, but yeah, I owe the community a proper big map. Heck, I owe it myself. One day maybe.

Our goal is to strike a good balance between all categories of map types (there are more than just small and big). Due to the delay of Al Sundan we are short on big maps and to be fair so far we have stayed on the smaller side of things and we are aware (hint hint).

About "how good the maps are", well, that's very much down to taste on an individual level and what you prefer. I know some folks who love the way we make maps these days and I know some that don't. We regularly do evaluations of different kinds. One of them being the map rating people can do in the monthly surveys and I can say that we are doing fairly good. We have 2-3 outliers which probably need some attention, but other than that they are rating really well. Especially the last two additions. If you would take those map ratings and compare them to IMDB (1-10), you would get some proper Top 250 movies out of it. :P

So you were one of the people that designed Devastation? If so that is brilliant. Devastation is my favorite map currently in BFV. Bravo to you Mr Level Designer.

Thank you! <3 It absolutely was a team effort. Glad you enjoy it. :) Due to it's historical position it's one of the more gritty ones. Hope that we can provide more of that feeling the further we head down the WW2 timeline. :)

Just wanted to chime in and say you have done some amazing work. There isnt a single map i outright hate in this game, each has their own unique feel & tactics that help differentiate them from being bland messes.

Have an upvote!

Thanks!!! <3

Hope keep continuing this trend. :)
