Following the rework of Renewal in September’s update, Battlefield developer EA Dice has “improved gameplay flow” by making adjustments to the Orbital map. The update released earlier today (October 20) and adds “more cover and assets” as well as “terrain improvements”.
Orbital is now “more action-packed with an improved atmosphere”. In conquest mode, two flags have been changed into HQs which are placed in such a way that there are “multiple viable flags in proximity” which Dice says will lead to a “better combat flow” as well as “reduced traversal time”.
A new flag has also been added between the launch site and cryogenic plant which counters the removal of the other two flags, and “helps maintain a smooth gameplay flow”, whilst also contributing by connecting to the underneath vehicle tunnel.
