A Few Map Idea's

[Lt. Orth]

Well, I just made a post about an idea, but I had another, completely unrelated, this is a map idea. With the POSSIBLE new maps that will come out in the next expansion pack, I was wondering, America was known for it's Naval Fleet, so, with the states that have water near it, this could introduce a new kindof pod system, these pods couild be underwater, like some massive ship out in the sea, carrying gunships, dropships, etc. These pods could be accessed at the side of the ship, which is underwater, these pods could launch out of the water and fly to the battlefield, but maybe instead of the typical round pods, you could have these huge boxes that shoot accross the water and skim it, gliding to the beaches. and once they glide onto them, these huge latches could open, reavealing possible whole squads. This may introduce new vehicles, like boats, etc. Heck, this may introduce a whole new mode with ships, each side could have huge carriers on each side of the map, and the commander could move these anywhere in the water, but not on land, and you have to destroy the ships engine system, sinking it. Just a couple idea's.
Here is what the ship could look like.

And finally, the new pod vehicle.

I thought that the premise of the story was that the world's oceans had frozen over or something.

Nice ideas since BF series are becoming less vehicular.

BF1942 has naval, air and ground.

BF2 eliminated naval power.

BF2142 no naval, no variety for stationary defenses and nearly no air.

BF3 will probably will end like another GRAW at this rate.

I love this idea! You could have islands between the two ships that have torpedo launchers instead of missile silos on them. It could be like a naval titan match! You could have boats that launch the pods you were talking about, like a boat version of the APC we have now. I would play those maps almost exclusively if they were done right.

I know, but the premise of America coming back is that alot of the ice has melted in these area's.

Interesting idea but I'd hate to be riding around in that pod.

There don't look like there are any seatbelts in there! Imagine how much you'd bounce around while launching through the water!
To tell the truth I always wince when the pods in the current game hit the ground too. Those things are pullin' serious G's! I love the way troops bounce outta them ready to go like they're stepping off the bus!

I know, but the premise of America coming back is that alot of the ice has melted in these area's.The world's oceans haven't frozen over in the first place... look at Camp G. and Cerbere, how did the PAC get there? Ships like the one pictured, by going on water. Maybe have icebergs with flags/torpedo silos to kill the enemy 'hydra' (titan, mythical, hydra, you get it?)...

Well, you imagine those pods are air tight, and probably have some sort of sprint system under the feet plate so as to provide a shock absorbed landing.

How about a map called the plains of Africa.

Its a completely flat square plain with knee high grass. Knifers can crawl around, and snipes can snipe from a massive pole in the middle that you can climb :)

[Ghost 1800]

How about a largish map where it gradually changes from rural setting to urban from east to west (or something), has a monorail that goes from the city out to the rural areas. CPs located mostly in the mixed area, including the monorail station. There would be a CP in the heavily urban areas that would spawn a mech, and a CP in the rural areas that would spawn a couple tanks... something like that. But it would have to be snowy... absolutely necessary for the levels success... more important then anything else...

[Grayzag]

How about a version of Berlin where you can ride the monorail around (and get roadkills).

That would own.

[Ghost 1800]

wouldn't that just be terminal from halo 2? except you could ride the monorail, but still...

Subtransit anyone?
