Hey I like this, random is good. Keeps things fresh. I'm interested to see all the little details of the map again, enjoyed it during the play test. Hoping with all the tweaks it's even better! Interested to see how the moved flag position (I think it was b, the one inside the big tower) affects that areas gameplay.

Yeah that's the idea! And hopefully with some things random and some things player-impacted you get a lot of variation which was the main goal. And yeah in Conquest it played better with the flag on top of the building, but the inside with the half-assembled rocket might be a flag in other modes ;)

Hmmm, very interesting indeed!

It played way better in Conquest. The inside with the half-assembled rocket is still a flag in other modes :)

Quick question by minimum system requirements do yall mean GTX 1050 Ti will be able to play the game fine, or just 1080p 30 fps?

I'm actually not 100% sure, will have more answers as we get closer!

Did you take any inspiration from just cause 3 because that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this map

Haha I can see that, but for me the main reference was caspian border from bf3. Not the layout itself but how we use vegetation and a sort of circular flow for the map

Can you be on the rocket when it launches and ride it up into the sky? :)

I'll leave some things to be discovered!

Sorry, one last question. I noticed you said the flag on the assembly building is on the roof now, is that the B flag?

Correct! It used to be inside the building but is now the rooftop with the helipad

So I assume both the tornado and rocket launches (or not launches) don't happen every single match so to keep it varied?

Correct! At least the weather and storm, the automated launch is part of the map but the outcome can vary. For example if it launches successfully it doesn't alter the map too much, other than making the launch platform more air friendly. If it explodes however, it's mayhem in the best possible way :D

This looks phenomenal. The effects, the aesthetic, everything looks great! Great work! One question, how do next-gen consoles hold up in terms of effects and graphics?

We (well I say we but actually way smarter and more skilled people than me really) are working on that to make sure it looks good wherever you play :)

We'll get into those details as we get closer!

Is the commo rose (the voice line menu for stuff like “I need ammo!” or “I meed a ride!”) returning?

Yup there is a commo rose!

Will you or some other colleague be online from time to time during the Early Beta for some live chat feedback? 😄

I'll most likely be playing with you all! But i'll be extra active on twitter and reddit during it :)

It looks amazing! If you don't mind me asking about the rocket launch succeeding/failing, do you anticipate it'll be a 50/50 split? Or is it like Siege of Shanghai where, once everybody figured out how to take down the tower, it got destroyed in every game?

I don't wanna give too much away yet, but I can tell you I actively wanted to avoid the Siege of Shanghai scenario where you could trigger it right away. The rocket and its launch is automated, but maybe players and/or a storm can impact the outcome ;)

As the Orbital level designer I can mainly answer questions and discuss feedback regarding the map itself, though I will still pass on other feedback too ofc :)
