It has 5 maps the developers very generously call "worlds" as a PR decision to make it sound massive and cool.

There are about 5 map configurations for each map. Therefore there are still only 5 maps, they just have different configurations to make them smaller by restricting certain areas. you can still travel to them but you can't pick up icons or land a warhawk in them. It doesn't change the looks or anything.

Map configurations are nothing new in multiplayer games, therefore it does not have 25 maps. It has 25 map configurations for 5 maps. Get it right.

As for these "worlds"....they aren't diverse or large or interesting enough to be considered worlds. They are 5 maps with multiple smaller configuration options. end the debate.

am i the only one not caring about the headset? sure you get a headset, but still a hard copy of the game is worth it all. the smell of the manual when you open the box for the first time :lol:

Anyways, YUP! 5 maps, each map cut into piece for the times where you only wanna play with 5 vs 5 etc. etc. etc.

It's still gonna be fun even if there was only 1 map. Most games only have a few maps people play the most. Maybe they only put in good maps.

Let me take a wild shot at some random thing. BUT, (and everyone can quote me on this) . deep down inside, we know they are going to bring more maps that we can download through the PS store

Well we all knew there were only gonna be a few maps in the first place and think about it, your not paying a fat lot for it anyway (unless your buying the blu-ray version :P) If they think that people want more maps, then there is a chance that they will make more or release more if they already have.

yea, there are 5 maps but each map is different in a way and in some maps configurations of the map change the way you play.

I don't think its anyone trying to trick anyone into anything. Even if its just a part of a different "world" that still makes it is own, it'll still play differently and some of the variations are HUGE differences from each other.

lol. Perfect Dark Zero is a bit like that (yes I know it's only for xbox 360) seeing as it has the small range of maps, and then configuration that cuts off certain parts.

LOL - some multiplayer level designers must be so lazy(seeing as others make massive, detailed levels)

Erm..... counter-strike was an amazing game back in the day? one of the most widely played online games ever? and as for the custom maps, a good amount of them became officially used in many leagues?

And yes, Counter-strike is a good example. And kudos to the guy who said maps will inevitably become downloadable through microtransactions or updates, you'e earnt yourself a cookie :P

PrimordialMeme

So they aren't diverse.

Here is the "world" with only buildings. Where you have to take the warhawk to reach the spawn points and the fights are inside the buildings.

This "world" is the most basic one, where you fight on a huge island and can use vehicles and aircraft for domination.

But i guess these two maps look equal in your eyes. Even when you have to use different tactics.

Not only are there different worlds, there are also different type of gameplay.

edit: these are gamespot pictures (old ones aswell)

no crap.

I dont mind, battlefield 2 didnt have many maps it had about 5 maps that most servers used. Hell the maps with china in it were barly played. If the 5 maps are good and all equally awsome than it will be great.

Well said.

I used to play CS ad nauseum and I would always be on a dust map. The fun thing with these multiplayer games is the chance to take on 16 other people along with 15 teammates. I could care less how many worlds there are. (Although charging for them in the future looks like a probable and wise business plan)

If you're looking for deep, immersive maps and worlds, you're looking at the wrong game.

Resistance had8original maps. nottingham, somerset, busyard, thames, subway, hangar, uss lexington, and manchester. i only play on somerset, nottingham, busyard for 1 hit shotguns, and hangar for 1 hit snipers. 2 new maps were added in the store and new maps will also be added for warhawk.5 incredible maps instead of 10 decent mapsshouldnt be the reason people decide not to buy this game. i was in the beta and i loved the maps.

Sorry, but you are quite wrong. Yes, the "5 maps per world" are various configurations of each of the five worlds but they are incredibly different from each other, have very different layouts and features, and have a completely distinct playstyle. They are, in essence, different maps. Also, you cannot travel outside the map boundaries unless you are in a warhawk. Leaving the map zones on foot or in vehicles will kill you.

So let me set it straight. 5 world, 5 configurations each, all of which are very different and play differently, equals a total of 25 different maps.

Somerset is the #1 map for the capture the flag in R:FOM. if I try to go to another map and look for capture the flag game, there will no one on.If I want toplay death match or team deathmatch, I find Rooftopor busyard most useful. Everyone in R:FOM plays Somerset for capturing the flag, therefore it doesn't matter if the game have only 1 multiplayer map or 50 multiplayers maps as long as everyone enjoy that one map.So it won't really make a difference in this game as well.

Not once when Sony mentioned "worlds" did I think that they were actually talking about a WHOLE GLOBE! Get real. I always thought of "words" the same as I do with "maps." Just like in RFOM. I think the reason you are here is because you don't want people to get this game and that you are actually an xbot in disguise! Anyways. Here's where's PrimordlaMeme's orginal argument came from - THREAD ...where he's complaining about price! And trying to bring up polls. Guys. PrimmrdiaMeme is a troll. He does NOT want you to buy Warhawk. And he'll do anything to convince you otherwise.

Damn! that pizza looks good, hope it's in 1080p. I'm sure there is going to be lots of downloadable maps in the future. Five seems fine as a start for it.

Hmmmmm? For those that are complaining and whining about the maps......why not just pass on this game? Don't buy it. While the rest of us are enjoy our 5 or 15 or 100 maps you can sit on the sidelines and cry while you "Fight the Good Fight."

Just say no to Warhawk!!! I'll see the rest of you on-line on Warhawk comeTuesday.

to me "worlds" can be translated to "different looking maps". If you're on a different world, that means the setting, st y le, and art are going to be different.

I am hoping they will implement a heavily forested map, with lots of tree's. Kinda like viet nam. That way ground troops can use the trees as cover from the warhawks.

Yeah, I always though of "worlds" as a double-edged sword. I mean, I remember playing GTA:SA and thinking..."Man! This driving is taking too long to get from one part of the city to the far country areas." At some point. You can have a too big game ares. Even if I was flying a Warhawk. I think that it taking 30 minutes to fly from one part of the "world(map)" to another part of the "world (map)" would be BORING and NOT fun! Even flying at 600Mph (or how ever fast the Warhawk flies). I do believe that slow paced RPG/Adventurers games like Oblivion work better with larger "worlds (maps)" but not so much with action games where battles are concentrated. I also think that depending on the amount of freedom Warhawk has is just an added bonus. But since I have not played WH yet, I'm not sure how far outside of the battle field one can fly. But to me that not necessary to the game, but rather just add to it as a cool feature.

Incognito time after time has repeatedly said that they will bring out loads of dlc and FOR FREE... if you don't believe me go check the interviews
