DICE Senior Environment Artist, Andrew Hamilton was keen to share the details of the work he has put into Armoured Kill:

“With Armored Kill having a strong focus on the environment, we wanted to truly hand craft each and every square inch of their kilometres of natural landscape for players to explore, which was no easy feat. While we created convincing and believable environments on all four levels through thoughtful placement of natural elements – understanding how mountains are formed, where water flows down their surfaces carrying sediment and deposits at their base – we didn’t want it to all simply feel like window dressing. We want players to feel immersed in these environments. We set out to achieve this through a combined effort of art, audio and effects.”


That's not all he had to say:

“I for one have been eager to release some truly large maps, so being able to really push what we are capable of sprinkling across such large expanses has been a fun challenge, not only in terms of density and detail of the environment, but also its believability and uniqueness.”

He noted during the post some of the key things that were considered during the creation of the Armoured Kill maps:


  • Push the quality from up close macro details right out to far distant mountains.
  • Make the levels feel even more expansive and immerse players in a living world.
  • Tune the terrain creation process to further utilise its unique features.
