Now that is a map a commander can really wrap his head around.

No lattice links in PS2 remember. Warpgates will be less important.

Or perhaps they will be more important as the uncapturable footholds...

PS1 didn't have a lattice when it started out either; it was added for good reason...

because you could just hack anything. That's not the case anymore.

They've already talked about how they were trying to promote a front line while allowing behind the lines action by means of hacking/capture timers based on the number of adjacent friendly hexes.

I hope they use a map that is more like the original from PS but has the features from the map that was put in after the bending. I also hope they have it perfect with no lines going in random directions.

I always did like the original map, what with being one world instead of planetoids. That and the no lattice thing. I liked being a spec ops squad countering the behind the lines hacks.

Even though they hav removed the lattice on continents the wargates may still function like the old lattice and only link to certain continents and you may have to have the hexs around the warfare to use it yo broadcast.

I'd hate to see what he considers complex. >.>

Maybe not the best screenshot example.

I hope to have a normal map this time around for sure.

I think they (SOE) know that none of the community liked how it changed from a single planet to many. We lost the sense of global conquest, and I think they realised this.

yeah i would really like to go back to the continatal idea and not the planetary one. it was just kind of silly.

as for warp gates, i think they will become majorly importent. with no hart drop theres only one way onto a cont, and it can be contested. if you can seal the enemies uncap bases/warpgates then you can win a fight before it starts.

I liked the new sky boxes of the shattering... errr the sundering.... I mean warping... whatever. I liked the skyboxes but I didn't like the lack of feeling like you were fighting for a whole planet (rather than a tiny bit of one).

One True Map please.

(and then other planets in the future have one big map for that planet also)
