yeah but by having no cover it forces you to fire from a distance and plan accordingly, I remember playingGrand Baazar on Battlefield 3, every time we clashed with the enemy it was always down that long street, because there was hardly any destruction to be had in BF3 the street would hardly get damaged and as a result people simply camped in the market places and placed claymores, fired grenade after grenade and just spammed USAS shotgun shells to anyone that whizzed around the corner, that made the gameplay and strats on that smallish map very predictable and very boring with some frustration, no matter how you planned the results were more or less the same and that's due to map size and lack of decent destruction.
I expect some level of destruction from this to make it viable to take away an enemy team's place of cover meaning that they have to move away and plan or get kiled off rather than have a few tiny pebbles blown off and keep behind cover while resorting to grenades/mortars.
OT: I'm pretty sure most games are supposed to be a solid 60 by now, if not then there's a clear and present problem that should be resolved before launch, I'm not at all surprised by the varying map sizes because I just think back to BF3/BF4 when I think of "varying" and destruction where appropriate just makes me think that it's going to be BF3 level od destruction all over again which is the say incrediably minimal and not game changing.
The lack of space battles is another disappointment, having battles in the sky can be fun and all but there is this thing called a skybox and a limit which ruins the immersion and overall feel for the space of the map size, I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually decide to add in space battles but as map pack DLC.
Jim recently made a video on Battlefront with him explaining his cynicism and how he got to that point where he was expecting bad things from the game from what was not show/shown instead of just drooling over the game.

Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
