The switch to the new Core engine led to a complete graphic overhaul with every object being recreated from the ground up using new technology. The majority of HD maps didn’t call for level design changes and offer pretty much the same experience, but with greater visual fidelity. On the other hand, Erlenberg, Kharkov, Steppes, Ruinberg, and Fisherman’s Bay were considered problematic because of visible imbalances. They underwent prominent redesigns to end camp fests, ensure both teams have equal chances for control of the territory, and deliver an enjoyable experience for each vehicle class.
In the next few weeks, we’ll walk you through changes to them, explaining how these changes should address imbalances. Along with that, we’ll be offering you a closer look at Province that is getting major overhaul, a peek into new maps being tested, and a status update on maps getting recreated in HD in future updates.
