Cory recently asked what our favorite level is, and it got me thinking. One thing I love about the ground based maps is that, due to the nature of most of those missions, our team is crawling through trenches, blasting their way through battle grounds, and just generally trying to get through inhospitable territory.
If you guys are planning on popping out more maps (or expansion packs of campaigns, hint hint), would it be possible for you to include more of those maps? Maps where the player is seeing the aftermath of a battle just fought, maps where the player has to hold in order to allow civilians to evac, and maps where the player has to retake ground lost are just a few of the options. Or even fighting their way through a ship that has already seen boarding combat, maybe where the player is a second (or third) wave of boarders, or has to act as a quick reaction force to plug a hole in the defensive line?

We are working on campaign expansions. The next one is almost done, but we have plans to make more after that.
The "favorite level" thread is specifically fishing for inspiration for that next set of campaign maps.
We won't be able to violently expand the scope of BF (adding Xenos fight Narvidians is not possible, for example) but we are definitely doing our best to take player feedback into consideration.
The next campaign expansion we're releasing is set in an ST2-style orbital structure, but the one after that sounds like it will be using the desert map style.
We've heard people like to have humans on their team, and that they like detailed maps with lots of complexity and meaningful terrain that tells part of the story.

Awesome! I know that you probably haven't settled on all the details yet, but would you mind giving some details on the campaign expansions? Are they planned as IAP expansion packs, or are they just going to be rolled into the game?

I gotta say, I love missions involving holding your position while the enemy swarms from all directions. Frantic holding actions are my thing.

Fallen - cool, I seem to remember you guys mentioning that from the get-go. I hope it works out well for you guys.
I'm with brutus, holding actions are definitely a ton of fun!

Happy to have it be so simple for us.
We can add tons of new armor, levels, maps and stuff all without worrying about IAP, publishing, pricing, fighting with people who hate IAP, fighting with people who hate spending money, fighting with people who just hate us.

I don't know why people hate you. You guys are such great devs and are very personable. |

People who played deep into the alpha may recognize one of my favorite maps that's also about to make a reappearance after new features and updates.
