Battlefield 4: 10 Ways It Can Topple Call Of Duty

7. Vehicle-Based Maps

005 Though I love flying about in a plane or riding around in a tank in Battlefield 3, it's too often a fleeting thing; I get to drop one bomb before I'm killed, then some git hogs the plane for the rest of the map, and being skilled enough not to die, prevents anymore from spawning. This is one of the major leads the Battlefield series has over Call of Duty; its implementation of vehicles feels like part of the fabric of the gameplay, whereas CoD's efforts (World at War) proved gimmicky and more than a little awkward. Though they're finally getting there through DLC, for Battlefield 4 I want plane-specific map types right out of the box. I want dogfights, I want tank battles; I don't want to have to wait 10 minutes for a new vehicle because some jackass is hogging one! Throw in a tutorial this time - given how difficult it can be to learn to fly in this game - and I think some vehicle-only maps could be very popular indeed.
