It looks like they're putting a lotta effort into a single player campaign, if that city map is in multiplayer ima jizz over everything

Well the 64 player maps in BF2 are simply really large. They accommodate 64 players with room to spare. 32 player maps are the same original size but the boundaries are closer and there's only 32 players, and 16 player maps are the closest, and even with 16 players it's far more chaotic than a 64 player map. The players-to-space ratio remains relatively constant, but most folks like the 64 player maps more because you actually have room to maneuver your aircraft in (which will be a necessity now that they're bringing the jets back), and you also have more time to set up your defenses and get into good positions and actually work out a strategy.
As far as the maps, they've already confirmed that they'll have maps themed as New York City, Tehran, and Paris... and it only makes sense that these maps will be available in multiplayer as well. But only time will tell as more info is released. Either way, myself and a lot of other people are crossing our fingers that this will be more true to BF2, in which case the multiplayer will the primary focus. The Battlefield series has always relied on that and it's part of their history as game developers. The Bad Company series is a separate thing from BF2. If DICE is true to the Battlefield series and this is truly a continuation of BF2 (with all the cool sh*t they learned while developing BC 1&2) then we'll all be satisfied I'm sure.
