I think all the Strike maps could work for cargo... especially the large ones. They just need to put 2 cargos on opposite ends. Porting old maps would be amazing also
Haha sweet

Yep, days gone by my friend.
I really, really, really, really, hope someone makes Christopher Lee's Dracula a Count Dooku mod
This is a fabulous description of why cargo the original would be included in battlefront 2! Couldn't have wrote it better than @JMaster
He knew.
I agree to adding both.
Never forget
Yes yes another supporter!
Give us original cargo Dice, the people have spoken!
Yes please, and let's reach a thousand replies on this thread, just because.
Man I'd like some original cargo now, after that conversation, too bad my cousin doesn't play anymore.
Original cargo for BF2!
I miss the dopamine rush of beating the cargo carrier back to their base, waiting in ambush with my scatter gun, and blasting them through their bubble for a last second hold for the win.
Me too, sometimes I play assault in strike or whatever and use the vanguard like the scatter gun but it's a little harder cuz of the active time of vanguard. And sometimes I wish vanguard would go right through bubble boys, but it does sometimes I guess.
Bring original cargo to BF2!
Typos edited.
Pretty convinced it would bring a lot of players back to Battlefront!
I select Cargo and get put on the Rebel side for Sullust - Imperial Hangar. I like that map, so all is well. I load in to the loadout, character, and weapon selection screen. My first clue that all was not well was the fact that several shadow troopers and stormtroopers could be seen constantly Jump Packing around the hangar. No rebels, just stormtroopers. Then I notice the score at the top: 1-9. Oh boy. I load in with Wodi and his A280C anyway. I fire several shots at stormtroopers and try to venture into the enemy base. I'm dead. Over and over again. My only kill was a shadow trooper who was distracted by my comrade. That's not the point, though.
The point is that every single enemy, all of them, were using variations of the exact same loadout and weapons. The loadout: Jump Pack, Personal Shield (or Adrenaline Stim), and Bacta Bomb. The weapons: EE-3 and EE-4. The trait: Bodyguard. Translation: these guys were nearly unkillable. Oh, and they all spam rolled like crazy. Needless to say, our team lost horribly. After the first few seconds of the same thing on Endor, the next map, I quit, disgusted and extremely annoyed.
This loadout is what ruins Battlefront 2015 for me, especially the small game modes. It makes unkillable super soldiers, and ruins the fun and immersion of the game. It is the most annoying and OP combo, and so, so many people use it as their only loadout. It's so incredibly frustrating. OK, rant done.
Probably just a group of overachievers trolling, usually is, if they were any good they would have been running no traits and no triangles.
I just can't stand that loadout. It just ruins the game for me. And the fact is that everyone knows it is overpowered, and that nothing can counter it.
Fact is bf15 has a wider skill gap than bf2 imo, many aspects of bf2 can be learned to allow the average player to be good, bf15 is a lot less forgiving.
They can be annoying but they can taken out, I do it all the time. In pubs scatter gun is a good option and pick ups can make or break, if you pick up a rocket don’t waste it on a random, take out the lvl3 bg user. Also many of these guys are in a party so that in itself is a huge deal vs a group of randoms. If possible get with a few friends and play. Good luck man.

I still think BF2015 is an absolute masterpiece of a game, but yeah that load out broke the games meta. The EE-3 is a total god gun which sucks in terms of the games variety, but if you want to compete then your going to have to roll with it.
I always preferred the Escape Artist trait and the SE-14C but when you run into a crew like that you've gotta go EE-3 with Berserker (no need to lower yourself to bodyguard) once your level 3 you can shred anyone even with Bodyguard. The EE-3 can handle all ranges but also maybe something nasty like the Scatter for CQC stopping power.
It's a fairly OP load out but against a whole crew like that it's only fair.
As a shooter BF2015 is in a completely different league than BF2 no doubt about it.
But I do like how the different classes stop one particular load out taking over a games meta. They had the right idea but with the focus and resources mainly spent on developing Heroes it left the infantry play very basic and uninspiring. If they'd invested equally in Trooper weapons, load outs and game modes I actually think BF2 could have surpassed BF2015.
And this is why I know the speedburst from Vanguard is just fine for Cargo. It is nothing compared to EA.
100%. I see people talking about “(insert hero) will save this game”. Well when one player can be that specific hero at a specific moment in a game, I don’t believe it. They need to focus on the bones of the game and make main course options before worrying about the side dishes of a gaming meal.
Agreed, and start with bringing original cargo to battlefront 2!
Again, this is a different pb though, they tend to be more about skins and the next hero and not so much about a competitive shooter: By bringing up something as simple as kd this place tends to have meltdowns, that’s my take anyway, different strokes though so it’s all good, I look at bf2 as a large heroes and villains mode and play as such.
That said dropzone and cargo are the best small modes I’ve ever played and some of the most competitive, especially dropzone. Try it without triangles and traits, it has perfect balance and skill comes into play big time.
I am a big fan of BF1 DLC. Really liked that kind of rotation of smaller and bigger modes. I like Strike but it is not versatile enaugh. We really need more smaller modes but I think it would be better to include them in playlist of smaller modes. Spliting a player base was a real problem of BF1.
In the right hands the E-11 was a beast of a gun, as was the se14c. In pubs there’s more counters to the ee3 and ee4, especially with explosive shot, the tl50 melts with es, as does the dlt19.
Your weapon choice shows that clearly your a man of taste, but I wasn't aware of any problem with BF1's player base?
My main games were DropZone, Extraction, Blast and Cargo in that order. On PS4 at least I always thought they retained a strong player base throughout.
Of the 50 or so of my friends on PS4 that played BF2015 almost exclusively during it's run, none of them have made the jump to BF2.
It's no secret that BF2 underperformed in terms of sales compared to BF2015, but I think the whole 'Lootbox' controversy takes too much credit for driving gamers away. I had absolutely no problem with the Grind and I don't think any of my old crowd would have an issue either. They avoid BF2 because of how lacking the gunplay and infantry game modes are.
Cargo, Dropzone etc could be a massive draw to bringing some of the old crowd back.
I had problems on PS4, so I ended up playing and loving bigger game mods. But I want more smaller game mods. I ment spilt because of DLC.
My thoughts exactly man.
Yup. Bring back regular cargo and DZ!!
So much replay value with simple/small modes. Real question is: does DICE/EA really care about retaining/adding players anymore ? (Hint:no, at least not really)
My favorite mode in BF1
Yeah, I agree.
