that map has controlled choke points on the roads between the bases

[Raymac]

COOL

Upper right looks like a warpgate, except there seems to be more structure there, possibly like the concept art we've seen.

Yea first thing I noticed, structures within a warp gate.

And all sorts of structures along roads

"Uncapturable footholds" for sure, conveniently placed within the safety of a warp gate force field.

AWESOME

Looks like the worlds really will be more detailed than the first!

That bunker/tower in the lower right looks like it's in some sort of Hole-in-the-Wall structure, heh.

Sounds cool but if its true the Galaxy is a flying AMS this time I don't see how ground terrain would matter a whole lot. Unless you really need to capture the bunkers along the way to speed up the base hack time.

Perhaps automated logistics will figure into the picture somehow? Practically speaking the roads wheren't all that valuable in the original game. Although if terrain has greater effects on vehicle handling that may be different.

Did anyone notice the sticky notes that say 'Dont Forget the Important'. Important what?

Eh, I'm not a fan of the one-tone color scheme. It's too BF3-esque.

I liked PS1's ingame maps, they were colorful and easily shows terrain detail, etc. It would take me longer to decipher this type of map and figure out where to go, as opposed to a colored, detailed map like in PS1.

I also see no text or labels of any sort. Each base should have its own name like in PS1.

[Khellendros]

duck, I'm pretty sure that is nowhere near the finished version.

[Hamma]

Well it's work in progress, I doubt we are seeing the final map.

Its exactly what BF3 players and myself hated. Color that shit in!

What are those speckles around the two bases on the left? I'm going to guess boulders. I dont think they are trees. if they are then what is with the green smudges at the bottom?
