User blog comment:Austin Power Man/Why DICE is a rip-off./@comment-1840523-20100822183408

Alright, the undeniable reason why DICE couldn't make new maps for Bad Company 2 was workload. Think of it this way. DICE have to make MoH's multiplayer, they have to make Battlefield 3 and the new maps, weapons, vehicles and characters for the BC2:V expansion pack coming this autumn. The way that Acti has organized CoD is that one company does one game every 2 years, which is why they alternate between treyarch and IW. DICE has to make one game every year and update the games they already have to patch bugs, glitches and release new modes. Now, where do they have the time to make new maps on the scale of the original maps? th reason why IW and Treyarch can release new maps is because the CoD maps are about half the size of the smallest BC2 map with half of the detail. CoD can get away with creating a dome around a map to symbolise the outside environment, DICE has to make the entire map AND surroundings because most of the time the surroundings are animated, unlike CoD when they just have a static background. I could go on for a lot longer about why DICE doesn't make new maps, but unlike you, i have a life. And anyway, why take up a rant on this malarkey on the wiki about DICE's biggest series
