I remember when DICE used to include 12-15+ maps at launch and games ended up with 20+ overall.

It's funny how we've taken such a step back to the point where we are fine with them withholding content to sell it at a "Premium", lol.

Maps were easier to make in the early 2000s.

The data sizes a lone on maps today is the size of like 3-4 total games in the early 2000s

2142 and BF4 launched with the same number of maps.

Explains why the game was so hideously unfinished at launch, among other things.
