2042's biggest issue. Poor map design
IMO the biggest issue in 2042 (besides the technical issues) are the poorly designed maps. Many of the games poor balance issues stem from the poor map design. In general the maps are far too open wi...

Now I am really familiar with the maps they seem fine to me, the solar array map and the desert city map are my only gripes.
One half of the solar array map is terrible for advancing armies with the rocky landscape, the other half is great with cover everywhere.
That desert city map is just horrible, you have the A flags, B flag and D flag, the rest are not worth the effort getting to.
Agreed, none of the maps are any good.
In previous releases i had firm favourites straight away, none are my fave in this game.
Massive open kill zones, spawn die, repeat repeat.
I really have tried to like the game, put in ton of hours, but i just find myself getting frustrated and bored real quick, and it's primarily the maps,
I agree. After a few unsatisfying rounds of all-out warfare me and my buddy just joined a portal match on Noshahr Canals from BF3 and it was a completely different experience: Many different areas, lots of firefights happening inbetween capture points and generally a great flow of conquest gameplay.
I also feel the maps in 2042 are a tad too big with not as much cover as I would like. manifest is the closest map imo to a battlefield map. Worse maps in 2042 is Kaliedoscope and breakaway. I just back out when they come up. Not a fan at all.
I would love to see them add Zavod 311 with 128 players and keeps its original size. Zavod is one of my all time fave maps.
@ghinavirusBreakaway is a strange map, the action will always flow to the cluster of flags in sector A normally pushes coming from C and B, the rest of the flags are too spread out.
In BF4, how can you capture the top of the building in shanghai map?
JUST DESTORY THE BUILDING!
On 2042, you can see a TANK on the top floor of the building. So, how can you capture the point via lift??
64 vs 64, over 20 emenys camp on the lift.
Is it cool? Is it fun? I don't think so...
- @chrilsc I have not played any breakthrough, but that sounds horrible.
I think I am going to download the old gen version for xbox to play the 64 player maps and see how it feels.
I have no idea why the 64 player map isnt part of the PC /next gen rotation out the box. I think it should be and labeled small conquest or something like that.
- @chrilsc Levolution is another feature missing that can create a new dynamic within the same game.
Man this game could have been epic if levolution and fortification systems were in place.
