So I was reading the article over here.
“The game will ship with 8 maps and 2 bonus, “what if” maps (1 for each faction,) for a total of 10. The Reactor map shown at E3 2010, was a “what if” map. Wedgwood explained it was unlocked after you complete the Resistance campaign.”
So maybe there are 10 maps?? Guess we won’t know until the devs confirm though.
BTW that quote is about halfway down the article.
Devs HAVE confirmed :
“Brink will have sixteen missions, spread across the two campaigns, but out of those sixteen, four are what we like to call the “what if?” missions. They’re not actually part of the official storyline.”
- Richard Ham
Which was probably the cause for most of the complaining until Heavy Metal, Oasis, Cold War & Harvest Day were released.
Exactly. Thank you.
I thought it was a bit silly to complain about maps being released for an alternate mode being the same as an existing map. It wasn’t like EA-DICE was charging $15 for them…
Oh really? Two out of the four maps were rehashed.
Hence why people get narky… At least they didn’t charge for it unlike COD where they rehash maps AND charge $15 for it…
Yes, but they were new to BFBC2 multiplayer. You couldn’t play them before, which is why the complaining baffles me.
The complaining before those four were released was thus: White Pass was originally a Conquest only map. Then they released White Pass for Rush. Typical idiotic response on the Dev’s blog post announcing new map to play conquest on: “We want NEW MAPS!! Don’t give us the same map for a different mode.”
Yes, it is the same map, and players are familiar with the basic terrain/layout. Never mind that the different modes play extremely differently. But for those playing Rush, the map choices available went from x to x+1. Over-entitled gamers…
