Yeah I don't get why they would remove the only good part of the map lmao
It was most certainly a cool location, we agree. But it was not a good location in terms of gameplay, and that's why we removed it to ensure we could improve the overall flow on other areas of the map.
I'll miss u/BFBulletin at twitter doing a summary for these podcasts, was a great BF info source.
Don't worry, he is back! :D
No, that is not what we said. There is more nuance to it.
Our commitment was to rework all launch maps to improve their overall gameplay flow. That work is complete with the release of Hourglass.
What you are referring to is that as part of the reworks we also updated the visuals on these locations to give a war-torn feel due to the progress of conflict. We did this alongside the feedback where players told us that the initial map versions looked to pristine.
In short the updated assets were done as part of the rework, but not as the main reason. If you want a refresher on this work check out our Core Feedback blog which we posted last year - ...

Can you explain why. It was very common knowledge that that was the most appreciated part of the map
The disappointment from some of you is understandable, given the amount of expectation that was placed on Hourglass as it was the final map rework and the length of time it had taken to get there but also because of how recognisable the Stadium is. It is only natural.
However there comes a point during the rework process for each map that there needs to be a decision on what to focus on, and what they wish to achieve with the rework. It was felt that it's best to drive attention through high-traffic zones and that simply is the other side of the map, especially when it comes to flow of gameplay.
Unfortunately there are some comments that suggest it's a case of lifting up an entire stadium and then placing it elsewhere, but this simply is not the case. And it most definitely is not as simple as what you may have seen with the Rig on Breakaways Rework.
So what CAN you expect with Hourglass? There's a larger focus on urban combat with this rework, fightin...
Read moreFine as you asked nicely, within Update 5.2 there will be a Designation Assist bonus when using the likes of SOFLAM and Tracer Dart.
We didn't have time to include that within the Update Notes, so look forward to it once the update lands, next week.
Have a great weekend :)
honestly this is why i always love looking forward to the next patch notes to see what they would put in there
We sometimes get odd questions as to why we do it, but you know why, you know why. 🐧
Ok but will the squad leader be demoted if not giving orders when requested to? We have had the request order since the beta and it has been completely useless ever since
You can take over leadership from “inactive” squad leaders.
Still no Sundance rework... Crashland into concrete? No problem. Bulletholes in wingsuit? No problem
Sticking a dart in someone to bring them back to life? A dude grappling onto the ceiling ledge? All weapons often taking more than a single bullet to take someone out? Getting rocket ammo out of tiny resupply points?
I mean, not everything is the epitome of realism - and hey, that's totally OK. We're a game, just have fun :)
What about Hourglass stadium? will it be inside the playable area?
The Stadium is not a playable part of the Hourglass Rework, sorry.
Lmfao I was gonna say, I bet some people don’t even know how “long standing” this issue is! Bravo if they fixed it 😄
We hope we've caught it in its entirety, there is a caveat though - so if you spot it still existing please do let us know!! Longstanding indeed :D
Bad thing, can't get rockets back in a timely manner now.
We feel that less explosion spam is a good thing.
Hello there,
Update 5.2.0 is rolling out next week and includes a wide range of balance changes, fixes and other areas of improvement.
Here is an overview of what’s new:
With this release we have fulfilled our commitment that we made to you during last year’s lead up to the launch of Season 1...
Read more External link →Can’t they just disable it on breakthrough and leave it on in conquest? It’s not an issue there.
We have disabled the CAV-Brawler for the single mode, All-Out Superiority (Land Vehicle vs Air gameplay). We have taken the decision to remove Flak Cannons from both the LATV and LCAA because of feedback from the community regarding its efficiency towards infantry, and this extends to all modes rather than simply Breakthrough.
Everyone's saying helis are going to rule the skies. Bro, they haven't removed the wildcat or stinger missiles. What's with the doom and gloom?
First time?
Members of the Dark Market Council are often obfuscated by names such as The Dragon, The Sparrow, The Broker etc.
The Sparrow for example is responsible for the sale of intelligence, whereas the Dragon is responsible for armies and mercenaries.
Comet from the player community does an amazing job at collecting most of the lore from the game if that's of interest to you.
Hi @SithMetal71,
