As designers we strive constantly to create new maps for our favorite multiplayer FPS, there are some that remain forever in the hearts of all the players, immovable presence in the rotation of each worthy of the name servers. Take Dust of Counter-Strike , Vacant, or on the first Modern Warfare : maps are eternal, almost perfect, always fun and can give exciting and hard fought matches.

In addition to the map just mentioned, it includes Back to Kirkland other three, also taken from Battlefield 2: Gulf of Oman and Shari Peninsula and Wake Island. Obviously, the maps have been updated with all the Frostbite 2, then even the veterans of the game will be surprised by the destruction of that setting and will enjoy the look and feel renewed. What's more, the expansion will also offer many weapons and three vehicles taken directly from Battlefield 2, which give a feeling of deejay vu to the veterans and a taste of the past to all new players. The destructibility of the environments in particular, in many ways revolutionized the game mechanics and tactics used, all those structures that previously could only be used as defensive positions to control an area of ​​the map will not for very long under the blows of the rocket launcher engineers. Instead, what has not changed is the feeling of maps, unchanged after all these years, testimony to their quality.

Ten days ago we had a chance to do some of their game in Conquest mode on the PC version of Kirkland game, thanks to a powerful configuration, showed us the power of graphics Frostbite 2 in all its majesty. Although the Race mode is a pleasant and enjoyable new series introduced in Bad Company 2, which is Battlefield Conquest gives his best and in this third installment is no exception. Unlike Operation Metro map present in the beta version of the game, there are Kirkland tanks and armored vehicles that increase the depth of the fighting and create strategic gunplay and unpredictable situations. The role of engineers is key, given the presence of the tool in their equipment to repair vehicles and rocket launchers, but also the other three classes have played a significant role. For some reason our fights are mainly concentrated around the flags A and B: the first is on a building, slightly elevated from the road, and his position gives a false sense of security because you only have a moment of distraction to make a bad the end. B instead of the square is surrounded by buildings which can harbor all kinds of threats and where the trucks can make a difference in the outdoors. The ability to destroy everything around us makes a huge difference compared to the past and changes the cards on the table at the strategic level: monitoring captured a flag is no longer a simple matter of observing from a safe location, but you must always be careful not to get under the fire of the guns. Gaining C, with the flag placed in a market surrounded by lines of fire from all directions, is a gamble with death. This new incarnation of Kirkland does not betray the spirit of the original words of Battlefield 2 and seems to be able to update and deliver in 2011 one of the best maps of the history of competitive FPS. Now we have to see what the opinion of the players on the servers around the world.
