This game NEEDS smaller maps and/or modes

[Oniros]

Every encounter is at huge distances. Theres no close and personal combat, just shoot at far away enemies. I don't mean empty, theres always action but its always very very ranged action.

Shotguns are essentially useless outside of small modes in Portal. Everything is too open unless you latch into some places and hope enemies come. Its really killing my enjoyment of the game and its sad because I like everything else (TTK, gun handling, etc). My experience is getting ruined by gameplay being basically only long distance.

Go play COD if you want small map

I agree. Strategy and positioning are just thrown out the window. Instead you just need to prop yourself up next to cover and shoot across the map. This also makes vehicles so dominant. These maps are awful.

Agreed, snipers account for 80% of the players because its always at sniper ranges

Battlefield 4 had both small and big maps and its not COD. That was the magic of that game, it had everything in one game. Now its just large scale everything. Hell even using some cut-out parts of some maps would work fine, theres no need to spend workload in new assets.

Having only the option for huge open spaces ends being boring (no TDM, no small conquest in All out Warfare).

There will be on the 19th if I'm not mistaken. Just be patient. I can't wait to have smaller more infantry focused mode too!

Am curious where you got that info from as their official twitter did not mention anything about day 1 patch details yet.

For real? TDM /small modes actually coming? Don't get me wrong I know its Battlefield and I also like playing sometimes the large scale thing, but... othertimes you just want infantriy focused in-your-face action and battlefield 4 offered that too.

They haven't mentioned anything about day one patch yet and there will be one.
Someone i know working on the game hinted so. He better have told the truth ahaha. I want to play more infantry... Or i wouldn't mind if at least they fix the vehicles being broken to play on big maps!

Fyi you can make any size game you want in portal. Map size, player count, hardcore, different era soldiers on the new maps etc bunch of people making 100 player matches and tons of 64 from what I have seen. The website to setup the portal games has tons of options

I spend far more time running than anything else in the game. It's a problem.

No. Tons of people like 12v12, 16v16 and such. We can also like mid size maps. Doesn't mean we have to go play cod... I like it where there are a lot of people, but not 64v64. Not my thing and there should be mid range stuff.

100%... Most of these maps can be cut down and would work great.

Its not that it feels empty. I see action everywhere all the time. It doesn't suffer the "battle royale running simulator" problem. The problem is that every single engagement is almost at sniper distance making infantry play absolutely boring. And its sad. TTK is rewarding, gunplay is fine and punchy, but everything gets ruined because theres little to zero even mid range encounters. All battles are from far away and end before you can close the distance.

Past BFs were "all in one package" FPS games in which you could go one game flying with planes and another one playing close quarters. This BF game is only about long range battles.

And in all past BF games, small and/or infantry gamemodes were a CORE part of the game, not relegated to Portal where someone might or might not open up some server.
