Not just maps
A new scoring system! Hopefully this will reduce lopsided matches. It sounds like it will also serve to focus players on a few core control points, thus leading to more fierce matchups at other spots (rather than spreading players around the board equally).
I'd still wish to see changes to the respawn counter, removal of paid revives in lockdown, and other changes to minimize spawn camping when one team is horrendously overmatched (getting killed by a shivermist/ hammer combo right out of your locker room sucks). And of course, it would be great if lockdown's summary statistics did more to emphasize captures instead of just kills.
But overall lockdown is a very good pvp option, and it's nice to know that the devs are continuing to make tweaks.

Nice, not for me though it is ok
I may not have new pve content, but more pvp content is always good. I still can wait, and of course, there is other games!
Also, good work people on not telling what it is here xD

"actually asuka, they said

actually dancinjen they said "feedback will help us decide which ones to release" so they WONT RELEASE ALL maps, only the chosen ones.
New scoring system dont looks like big change, still the amount of points decides about your score, the fact, that they will reduce points will just result in lower point scores.
If they would implement a feature that the closer the point is to enemy spawn, is more accessible to enemy spawn point and its more dangerous to keep that point gives most of points, and the point that is easiest to keep will give less points, that would make people focus on a few core control points.

Hey, Asukalan.
That doesn't mean they would ONLY release one new map. You need to drop the constant assumptions; they're CHUMPISH.
Look at the emphasis these CAPITALIZED WORDS bring! Oh the emphasis.

If you really want to be pedantic, Asuka, they said "decide which ones to release". Plural.
And yeah, stop complaining so much.

Wish I could test, too bad Diablo III already took my money.
Looks cool, sadly I won't be testing it out like always I like to see your updates first-hand while I play the game unless its my job to test lol =). Think the new point system is a good idea makes LD a bit more close in terms of matches.
