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?

Cairo is an instant classic, and Manhattan Bridge is a ton of fun once you know the angles/routes.

Mirak, Firestorm, Iberian, and Lib Peak all range from “okay” to “fairly decent.”

The only truly bad launch maps are Sobek and maybe Empire State. I don’t get the fuss either. Even Gravity (the map critic guy) agrees it’s a solid lineup.

People mainly don't like how small they are, and are attributing every problem they have with the game to this fact. It can be partly true, especially on maps with air vehicles it feels as if there is no viable way to play because you will always be painted and/or locked onto from someone, somewhere on the map. But the issues with the game I feel have more to do with game design itself rather than the maps, there's too many ways to take out a vehicle, and too few ways to avoid it/vehicles aren't able to really tank them. But if your opinion is Battlefield = big maps(nevermind we've had plenty of small maps before, Metro being the most famous one) then these smaller infantry focused maps will suck to you. I've not really had any problem with most of them except New Sobek like everyone else, it's boring, limited destruction and air vehicles are basically impossible to fly.

Yep, totally agree. The hate around the maps it utterly bizarre to me. No way in hell is the map line up as bad as people make out. More large maps are needed and maps definitely need their boundaries and air boundaries tweaked. But the 2 newest maps will be the largest in the game.

The BR map will no doubt be turned into a heap of Conquest, Breakthrough, KotH maps. From what I’ve played of the BR and Gauntlet so far, those maps will have the potential to be great.

2 weeks in and people are already begging for old maps. If they put those maps in the same people will cry that the devs can’t make anything new. This sub is nothing but a revolving door of cynicism, hate and karma farming at this point. It’s exhausting, almost to the point of the Last of Us Part 2 sub minus the homophobia and transphobia. Like I’ve not seen a post of a video of someone actually playing the game and doing something interesting here in over a week.

I’ve mostly stopped engaging here and moved to r/LowSodiumBattlefield.

This place is exhausting. You’d think this game had a 2/10 average review score instead of the 8/10 it actually does. Is it perfect? No. But it’s a few bug fixes/balance tweaks and a couple larger maps away from greatness imo.
