Why not have both maps in rotation?
Serious question here, have that said why or anything because I didn't expect kings canyon to be dropped, there was things I imagined having in kings canyon to make feel like a living breathing world...

@CAGOA33 Someone opposes your opinion because it doesn't see the bigger picture so you revert to "fanboy" lol. Oh dear me. I'm crushed.
For the record, I've stopped playing because of other issues. I'm no fanboy, but can see short sighted opinions a mile off.
No doubt if both maps were available in rotation, but your game wait time increased, or connections suffered, you'd be here like a shot to say how crap it is and how only one map should be in rotation.
Then people would still want solos on both maps, diluting the MMing even further. But hey, players know best lol.
THINK.
@Silz616Oh come on. Battlefield, cod, Halo, and virtually every other FPS all have far more than one map and no wait times. Been playing BF1 (years old) again because of how bad BFV is and there are virtually no wait times.
This is a non issue, and having just one map is a recipe for burnout.
Heard it all before. "But other games", "MMing won't be affected". Basically, "We know better than Respawn". Well I say, no you don't.
Respawn obviously have their reasons for how they run MMing and what they want active at any given time. There's just no satisfying this community on the whole.
When will people realise this is NOT other games, yet still screamers want it "their way". Grow up.
- @Silz616 Yeah, either that or it would take more money due to need for additional servers and resources.
Explain to me how a 5~ year old game like BF1 with a fraction of the playerbase doesn't have wait times to que (or virually none) with like 15 maps but Apex will with 2....lol.
This is the same BS arguement that EA used to eliminate premium on battlefield and introduce microtransactions, so they wouldn't "split the player base". Literally everyone said and knew it would result in fewer maps and less meaningful content with zero decrease in wait times for que etc...and that's exactly what happened.
Trust the devs lol.... So trust EA? If you trust EA, I have a bridge to sell you.

This is a non issue, and having just one map is a recipe for burnout.You're comparing multiplayer games that have regular Team Deathmatch to a full Battle Royale. Other games adopted this game mode as an addition to the multiplayer experience, but very few games are pure Battle Royales from the beginning. Stop comparing well-established franchises to a different genre of game that's been out less than a year. That's not a very educated response.
Why would it being a battle royal have anything to do with the que times and map selection? Granted, you're not going to see rotations like battlefield with 10-15 maps, but the map is also much bigger.
We are specifically talking about que wait times. The only arguement can be that multiple maps would increase que because the playerbase would split into multiple factions looking for different maps...but they already have done exactly that with ranked vs unranked, and even snipers/shottys (so 3 ques) and it had absolutely zero effect on wait times so far as I saw.
Have you ever, I mean ever, had a wait? I haven't thru 2 seasons playing PS4 at extremely varied hours (noon, mid day, night, late night ) ever had to wait more than 15-20 seconds unless it bugged out, in which case you just stop search and start it again. And this is on a janky * 4G connection that will literally only work on the east coast servers (West coast lags).
Nonsense. It made no difference on battlefield, cod, or even Apex itself. It's all money, because it's EA.
Edit: also, with games like BF you don't have nearly the same number of people on que at the same time like a BR. BF games last 15+ minutes for Conquest (most popular) and people don't leave constantly. On Apex the majority of the server is in game for less than 5-7 minutes until it's down to 4-8 teams. In other words, with a huge playerbase vs BF and people constantly needing to restart 5-10 times an hour the que will never be empty.
It goes back to my original point - why would they release a new map that we've been begging for and make us only play it half of the time? They have to get feedback on the current one.

This is a non issue, and having just one map is a recipe for burnout."BF1 has no wait time" statement is so wrong in my region (Asia).
I play on PC if it helps.
Your other statement is also wrong. PUBG has 4 maps and some maps are complete dead. with 25 mins wait time. Another example is CO BO4, many game modes are completely dead lolz.
