"Lead Designer Niklas Fegraeus on the design

The design idea for the expansion pack was to let players revisit these classic maps as if time had passed by since they last played them in Battlefield 2. This will be apparent on all maps, but one prime example is on Gulf of Oman. Close to the beach, this new version of the all-time classic map sees a group of luxury villas erected by someone who wants to turn this piece of land into a paradise for vacationers. Now that war is once again coming to the region, those plans are likely to be ground quickly to a halt. Another example is Wake Island. Next to the airport, a conference building has been constructed. But the only conferences held there this Winter will likely be of the highly destructive kind. We met with Back to Karkand Lead Designer Niklas Fegraeus for a chat on his vision for these reimagined maps:

"I want returning players to get the sense that these are cool new maps, and then suddenly realize they know them by heart. The feeling should be new, but the actual map layout the same as before. For newcomers, these are simply four brilliant maps", said Niklas.

Besides getting an artistic makeover, the Back to Karkand team is also making sure the new maps take full advantage of Frostbite 2, including the ability to turn most of the maps into rubble. Do you think you are safe hiding inside the buildings of these classic maps? Think again!"

The PR people in charge of putting together those videos are really terrible at their jobs, based on watching eight minutes of the Oman one. Just tons and tons of pointless wandering and mediocre play. The first two and a half minutes or so were good for getting a feel of the changes to the map, everything past that was just pointless. I don't blame the player- that's pretty much how I am in Battlefield. But that's not the footage you choose to show off a game and get people to buy a product...

i'm pretty sure it's just leaked video of playtests, not actual marketing material. also the game looks boring as fuck on the consoles, but who would buy it for consoles, honestly :S

It's weird, I don't really recognise any locations at all from BF2, and I played like 100+ hours on that game.

And that trailer is just an 'Ooooh look at our fancy destruction!' tech demo haha.

(Disclaimer - I love BF but havent really touched it since the opening weekend. However, it is still a good game. The 2 previous sentences is my troll defence system)

Guess you didn't play enough :P. I recognized all of those places! Can't wait.

Ohhh.. i hope DICE releases an editor so i can make the most awesome maps and get hired there!! That is my goal before i´m 35, so i got 7 years to get hired there. Remember where you read this first! :D

My brother actually applied for a job there, something web-related though.
