What do you prefer, new maps or map changes?
The two other big Battleroyal games being PUBG, Fortnite have different approaches to map variety. Fortnite changes up their map, akin to Apex Legends. PUBG releases completely new maps. I prefer a n...

I prefer map changes. Having different map options would only make queue times longer.

DICE TeamI'm personally torn, I like both ideas - new map a lot of new experience to explore and is cool, but I do like changing the same map to tell a story of what is going on with the game.

While cool, new maps or game modes will split the playerbase. Kings Canyon is a pretty complete map, with areas for all sorts of strategies and play styles, it's difficult to design a map as well balanced as this one, that also brings something new to make it different.
This being said, I liked the original map more than the new one. The ideal map for me would be one that changes during the match, with leviathans running across the island in round 2-3 and shake things up, making random buildings or tunnels collapse. Or an anomaly that causes a huge explosion at a random moment after round one, with just a few seconds of warning, projecting all players onto a future / past version of the map.
The things I would like prioritized:
1. Netcode2. Netcode
3. Cheat detection, swifter banning
4. Netcode
Everything outside of this is just fluff to me. You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig.
I am optimistic though because I hope the network engineer hire can make a huge impact on the netcode for the better and in a hurry. I would hope they have a mini team dedicated to this to get it on par with other successful games like BFV and Overwatch.
And as for the cheat detection and swift action on that front I can only see Blizzard as the example to follow. They definitely have a strong track record of dealing with cheaters. They obviously have a lot of resources and revenue to do so but any game maker should be striving to their level. I mean they squashed one of the more advanced and undetectable bots that was used in WoW!
However, saying all that New maps, weapons and legends would be cool!- @GRiPSViGiL Wth, just a simple question yet you post an entirely different return XD only for your last line to remotely answer your thoughts on the query. Jeez, you must love to hate the flaws :P
