      ​​​@@peabrain6872 you imply prise de tahure isn't fun. Shame.
      Also, that's a bit of a nothingburger statement "atmosphere shouldn't come before fun". There are absolutely cases where atmosphere should come first. Firstly, what if the fun is derived from the atmosphere? I personally REALLY enjoy the WW1 codex in battlefield 1 and think every other battlefield game is a little lesser because there isn't nearly as much background information presented as bf1s codex.
      Secondly, if you adhere to "fun over atmosphere" you get rid of a lot of things that make sense,: you don't NEED gunshot noises to accompany your pistol but most games put them in anyways. Even worse, devs could render every vehicle and character in the game as a box. EVEN WORSE if your character model was bright pink against a dark background meanwhile other players could see and shoot your glowing pink character through walls
      In such a case, the atmosphere definitely should come before fun. No wall hacks, no sticking out like a sore thumb, no silent gunshots, no ignorance of fall damage.
      Finally, understand that inaccurately representing a specific gun's ammunition count is basically like sacrilege to this community... and may get developers sued in REAL LIFE by ACTUAL companies they had agreements with.
      These are all great times to put atmosphere before "fun", but I do understand your point.

    Hourglass is one of the coolest-looking maps in 2042 (specifically the lit-up city during the sandstorm) and has a bunch of really great areas, like the stadium. It just came together so poorly with the giant open spaces and misleadingly-tiny city portion (the part people actually like). If they bring everything closer together and make the map feel more Shanghai than Sinai, I think it has the potential to be one of if not the best in the whole game.

    For the most part, people love urban maps like Siene Crossing and Strike at Karkand, yet DICE didn't make any for 2042. I understand they are tough to balance for gameplay while maintaining a "real" feel, but they have too much potential to ignore as a developer.

      ​@@muller135s Shangai imo is definetly one of the coolest looking and playable map except for the fact that the game rewards way to much tryharders and vehicle whores on which it often destroys the experience for infantry and that is Attack heli's fault.
      That vehicle totally destroys the very great flow of Shangai and often breaks boundaries to be the most OP vehicle to be used over there.
      All I want is that to dice to balance infantry and vehicles more, in Battlefield 4 they all felt like they were mountains to destroy and some patchs even made it worse. It was usually 2 C4s to destroy a tank and then it was 3 and also the splash damage started to kill you middle air, meaning it gets more harder.
      Battlefield 4 had that problems for infantry and people who were in vehicles always found something to complain about infantry, that's why majority of BF players don't like the world wars setting and that is due to the fact the game itself doesn't benefit vehicle players and makes them heavily OP.
      I like how the vehicles are handled in BFV, easy to control and easy to destroy. Not leaving in disadvantage to vehicle whores and that makes piloting any vehicle more challenging to any player who wants now kill hundreds and hundreds of players.

      I really don't understand why gaming companies don't take advantage of the modding scene more to produce content and rapidly address issues that large studios cannot quickly solve. I get they want to monetize multiple DLCs, but there are alternative ways to monetize and still capitalize on modding.
      Look at GTA, most successful microtransactions in history and the modding scene around GTA is huge. It keeps your game from getting stale, the longer people are involved the more opportunities to make money there are. In my opinion at least.

    With some maps it's purely a player count issue. I played BF3 on PS3 where the player counts are locked at 24 players and I loved every single map in that game (not Tehran Highway). The map design, of course, plays a part as well. As infantry, it felt more structured where you could easily move around the map and have intermittent firefights with enemy squads instead of being steamrolled by a wall of players. Infantry also had shorter routes between objectives that were innaccessible or suicidal for vehicles. Vehicles instead had more expansive, but longer routes which provided access to objectives; allowing them to pick off straggler infantrymen and to have uninterrupted vehicle vs vehicle firefights. Basically, vehicles and infantry were kept segregated until it mattered. Caspian Border and Grand Bazaar on conquest small are good examples of this.
    When I played some of the same maps as part of the second assult dlc on BF4, there was simply too many players. Movement was restricted, firefights felt chaotic and vehicles were bombarded with rockets. This has only gotten worse on games like BF5 and 2042 where the map design is incredibly open and lazily designed. My guess is that it's just to facilitate high player counts without having to put in the work to build proper lanes and pathing between objectives. Personally, don't get the buzz with high player counts. It just seems like a forced marketing strategy instead of a well implemented feature.

      They used to do a really good job of segregating vehicle and infantry and designing maps in a way that controlled where infantry and vehicles would share a space.

      ​​@@JACkEBOY532 I actually kinda understand where he's coming from but for a different reason. Bf3 and bf4 had massive launch-day issues (that persisted for months) that REALLY made it hard for me to love those two games.
      This is partially why battlefield 1 was my favorite. It was ready to go after the day one patch....and when I got tired of conquest, I discovered operations. Holy crap, going from the "old but good" conquest to operations and French maps MADE FOR RUSH was nuts! Not even bf3 had many maps optimized for rush like the bad company and Bf1 games. Bf3 gets put on a pedestal, but there's a reason that not all maps are revered as much as damavand. For every damavand peak rush map in bf3, there was seine crossing where EVERYTHING WAS SKEWED IN THE DEFENDERS FAVOR. Not to mention the latter half of Damavand was a grind too.

    Altai Range was great for rush. The long engagements across the valley with MMGs was fun, and pushing up the mountain to the station had a classic WWII feel to it.
    My least favorite map was probably the China Rising map that took place during sunset and had the really tall, skinny mountains. The lighting made it really hard to see targets, and explosions blanked the surrounding area out, which compounded the terrible lighting issues.

    It really depends on what gamemode people prefer too.
    Hourglass is pretty bad, but i almost always play Breakthrough, i've heard conquest isn't too bad.
    On the other hand i feel that the Breakaway rework has been such a horrible experience for Breakthrough that whenever i see that map load in i know the attackers have free reign untill the final sector.
    In BFV i played a ton of Squad Conquest and Breakthrough and it really made maps like Fjell feel fun to play on, clear alleys with decent flanks where 1 person could do much provided the person played well.
    And in BF2 there was conquest assault which often resulted in attackers roaming the backlines never seeing any opposition. Maps like Karkand and Jalalabad really had great frontlines but once the attackers were in the city it was hard to keep track of where they were.

    Siege of Shanghai was still a phenomenal map for me despite many players thinking differently in my BF circle. It had plenty of ways for vehicles and infantry to interact, it had aerial combat and light naval combat.
    There were an abundance of areas for infantry-only encounters, a central infantry zone with helicopters blasting out windows. Clear sight lines for sniping battles between objectives and lots of high ground for others to get the advantage in situations.
    Various battle scenarios… multi-level parking garage between two large condos with room for infantry and vehicles to conflict.
    • An underground art exhibit with destructible support structures collapsing roads.
    • Two symmetrically designed bridges with an underground portion for infantry, interactable barrier for temporary vehicle stopping, and a TOW for each bridge for a quick pop on a vehicle or low-altitude helicopter.
    • A giant tower that has destructible supports turning a high rise infantry fuckfest, with helicopter shenanigans sprinkled in, into dusty ruins with low line of sight, easy contrast for outsiders and helicopters to barrage, and an objective the naval units can fight over.
    • A mini-shopping center with three levels, a rooftop with glass walkway to shoot through, a second floor with the flag and two escalators on either side, and the bottom floor which is a central path for vehicles to pass through and shopping centers for infantry to fight for.
    • Finally… hmm I forgot what E objective was…

    My favourite map is Pearl Market for sure. It's a tight infantry experience without just being another meatgrinder, there's endless flanking options and it's downright impossible to get boxed into spawn or a single objective like you can in other maps. It's the perfect map for smart objective play, because there's always an out you can take.
    Least favourite is Lancang Dam. Terrible layout, the AA can baserape from across the map, and as infantry you're locked into a tiny number of dedicated areas lest you get farmed by LAVs, helicopters, or harassed by snipers. Even with other bad maps I can say there's fun to be had, but I don't think I have ever had fun playing Lancang Dam.

    Kaleidoscope was such a let down when I first got to know the map. NONE of the skyscrapers collapse and it just feels like an empty fish bowl with 1 big building in the middle.

    Absolutely hated lancang dam. Glad you mentioned bf1 circle running simulator, it's the main thing I remember about the game.

    Probably too soon. But I wouldn’t mind a battlefield 1 part 2. Especially as we saw how well they handed near future of 2042

    Fjell 642?! That’s crazy I had some crazy plays on that map and it’s the first map I hit 100 kills on!!

    As someone who only played BF3 on console, I had never even conceptualized 64 people on Scrapmetal and I do not intend to

    If we're talking about bad map design can I throw in the interior maps for the Titans from 2142? Because as cool and fun the rest of the mode was, the actual map design for when you're inside the ship turned out to be pretty bland. I understand they were limited in size and performance, but there's really not much you can do but meat grind once you get inside.

    One of my favorite and least favorite maps on BF3 was Strike at Karkand bc my 360 always froze and could never load the map lol

    I personally love the sandstorm on Hourglass but the map would benefit so much from having urban areas connecting the different objectives
    DICE could've even made a small metro underground leading to the skyscrapers.
