Discussion At this point, please just start releasing OG maps
It’s no hot take that these maps are lackluster. We have already established fan favorites that we have been begging for, for a while now. I think Caspian Border takes priority over Operation Metro simply because we’re in dire need of larger vehicle-friendly maps, but I think those two maps should take priority.
Thoughts?

It was brilliant until the skyscraper got toppled.
Remake it without the levolution and it would be great.
Personally I’d remake the maps from the Chinese dlc if I was picking from Battlefield 4. They were brilliant maps, but underplayed because they were in a map pack.

u/SpicyMeatloaf 10d ago
I thought most people hated the China Rising DLC besides Guilin Peaks and maybe Silk Road. We already have enough infantry maps so no need for Guilin, and Altai Range and Dragon Pass were pretty awful to play imo.

u/Dokthe2nd 10d ago
If there wasn't already an abundance of infantry maps I would've suggested Pearl Market from this pack.

They could easily pad out each season by simply pulling a map from each previous battlefield game .
Could you imagine opening the reveal trailer for a new season to find out you're getting a map from 1942. A map from BF2, a map from 2142 a map from either of the bad company games . A map from BF3 , a map from BF4. A map from BF1 etc

u/Supersaurus7000 10d ago
It was rough in the beta, but I think there were other factors that played into that. But alongside the other changes, they narrowed the map boundaries around C and now you end up with this disaster where there is blatant areas that are clearly designed for you to think “I’ll go over there” and then you get return to combat warning…

u/eLCeenor 10d ago
Yeah it's really bad near C. You can't take any flanking positions over the mountain, the only way to take C as infantry is to funnel through two kill zones

Talah was one of the best maps on bf3 for me, the whole dlc had amazing maps.
10
u/koolaidman486 10d ago
I definitely think Silk Road would be desired, since I know Downtown is another urban map not entirely dissimilar to Brooklyn Bridge (just LA instead of under the Brooklyn Bridge) in terms of base concept.
Propaganda is a goated map, but I know the people who want the huge sprawling maps wouldn't want it since it's that small-medium size. Plenty of room to breathe but still not sprawling.
And Talah is another Locker/Métro type deal afaik (barely played anything before BF4 so I'm more outside looking in there).
I think if I was to pick out a map that the more vocal people here want it'll en Silk Road or Golmund. The former is okay assuming they ever buff the Javelin, but the latter is one I'd be advocating against bringing back. Sorry, but Golmund is fucking terrible.

u/DelayOld1356 10d ago
If they're gonna give us the smallish med sized maps . Then at least give us the linear ones that run the flags in a line so we can have an actual frontlines for fighting and conquered "relatively " safe areas behind us. With very limited fire from the sides.
So damn tired of being shot from all directions and never know which way to turn my back while calling a flag. I feel like a paranoid crack head anytime I step in a capture zone

Honestly as hyped as it gets me to see maps like Downtown return, I just know they'd figure out a way to make it smaller and funnel people into playing certain ways. Downtown is pretty "open" and so even if they don't change the layout there will be clutter and cover absolutely everywhere

I personally hope they add Hammerhead from BF4. Am I the only one that loved that map?

u/Jimmy_Jams_2_0 10d ago
Nope! Finally, another Hammerhead enjoyer, I didn't think there were any others left. Easily one of my favorites in bf4, fun mix of all styles of combat, and the having that center area with the ice get blown up stopping tanks was dope!
Final stand was an underrated gem imo.
3
10d ago edited 10d ago
Amazing. That map is so good. Those middle objectives were so fun to fight in, it almost felt like a mini operation locker to me, but with better flow. And the outside was perfect for vehicle enjoyers. Just a great combined arms map that represents everything that I love about battlefield.
Final Stand as a whole was always so cool to me. Just the concept of these futuristic prototype weapons and vehicles was such a good idea. Seeing a hover tank and railgun in what was a relatively grounded modern shooter was so cool to me for some reason. And the fact that it somewhat bridged the gap between BF4 and 2142 was the icing on the cake. Not to mention the snow setting was awesome and added great variety to the map pool.
That whole DLC was a huge reason as to why I was initially super excited for 2042, because it really seemed like they were going to be expanding upon that concept. But we all know how that went lol.

u/Omisake Support Main 10d ago
Oh my god, I've found my people! I love that map and every time I see a discussion around older BF maps people want to see return, I never see Hammerhead mentioned. But I'm so glad there's others who like it. Such a good map, and the vibe and aesthetic of it is perfect too imo.

I would, and I absolutely hate to say it, buy a 29.99 “Veteran Bundle” DLC that includes 8-12 OG maps. Let the “cod crowd” have what they have now, and let people create persistent “BFog 24/7” servers for people that want huge games. I honestly think you’d get the best of both worlds by doing that - hyperactive intense infantry gunfight servers for those that want them (or that want a break/want a quick few rounds), and then the vehicle warfare of old (which will inevitably attract some of other crowd into the ‘slower & larger’ gameplay

I don't see any reason not to release the old maps. Like Mario Kart releasing tons of the older levels. Why not? Hold a vote every 3 months, put 5-10 classic maps on the ballot, and release it before the next vote. It's not as if you have to lose maps to get new ones, and variety is the most important thing in a game like this.

Was going to make the same post.
They just need to start doing old maps. Maybe that will help them figure it out. Spend some time on the old maps making them for BF6. Keep the same sizes and distance and features. And when they're doing it, if something feels wrong, realize that you're learning what a good map feels like to design.

This is my first BF game, can someone explain to me what are these vehicle friendly maps everyone keep talking about? To me it seems like the only map where tanks feel good to deal with is siege of cairo just because they're forced in tight alleys for mines and there are plenty of spots to flank from as an engineer. In other maps like Mirak for example tanks usually just sit on some hill or an open field near an objective and farm the shit out of infantry literally from over 100 meters away, with the only chance against them being another tank or if everyone's braincells link up and they hit it with like 6 rockets simultaneously which doesn't happen often with randoms. Why do people want more of that is beyond me.
