All BF2042 maps ranked worst to best

For me, it is hard to rack and stack in sequential order because it feels like some maps play better in different modes, or if you are playing as infantry vs vehicle. So instead, I tried to group into 3 categories, maps that I will play all the time regardless of mode, maps that I may quit out of depending on game mode, and lastly, maps I will just ALT-F4 out of and quit the game for the day. The worst part is, without a Server Browser, the game's replayability is so low because the chances of you getting a garbage map is so high.

@RanzigeRidder2I do think Haven and Stadium are among the worse maps.

I don't quite get your complaints about maps having disconnected sections, but putting Orbital as #1. Almost every sector in Orbital is decently far away from the rest, annoying to reach and you have to deal with the slow capture time. The rocket is often empty, the cryogenic plant is often empty, at least the rocket hangar is better but I'm starting to despise the rooftop camping.

While Hourglass is basically 2 disconnected sections, there is still things happening in each and with the objectives more tightly packed, you can have some actual momentum with your team when trying to attack the objectives around the skyscrapers, unlike trying to solo attack a rocket in Orbital. The 2 parts being disconnected means if things are too hectic in one section, I can spawn on the other and PTFO there, and I like that.

I think Breakaway has a nice cluster of objectives, and only A/E are really disconnected, and out of those I'd say E is the way worse offender as E2 is borderline impossible to hold for the opposing team due to how close it is to spawn, and railgun tanks love to perch there.

I also don't see Kaleidoscope's disconnectedness as too much of an issue, as most of its disconnected objectives are pairs of points rather than a single point, and again you can have good momentum with your team. Usually people will hang around the top of the skyscrapers, so the bottom points are easy-ish caps, and then the fighting gets going.

While I think Exposure's wide spawns that people sit in are definitely an issue, I think that's a game design issue and not a map one. You should not be able to shoot out of or be shot at in your spawn, and ground vehicles should not regenerate HP when inside it, at least on Conquest. There are too many opportunities on too many maps for rat-like behavior where annoying vehicles (especially TORs, again) will just scurry off into their spawn when pressured. Maybe Exposure's RU hill can use a bit of tweaking, and that's it.

I don't really see your issue with Renewal either. Both teams have 3 points on their side, only E1 is a 4th point that's a bit more towards the RU side but I feel that's not a big deal, that point is often permanently contested by both teams anyways and it's fine.

I feel if solo capturing was faster, disconnected objectives would be less of an issue.

My issue with 2042 map design would be annoying railings that can't be shot through, and annoying gaps in terrain that can be. Think this electric box on Train:

Hourglass trucks are like this, for example.

I would have put Exposure and Manifest closer to the top but feel the list above is pretty accurate.

my favory 2042 128 conquest, rush XL, breakout and 5 - 6 transport vehicles Bolte, LATV4 Recon 

I like all the "disconnected large maps". I like how they force me to call in a vehicle, go on a rooftop, talk to a squad mate on the mic to pick me up etc. They are a huge open playground. There are sooo many different ways to play the same map especially with friends.

Anything that breaks up the authentic COD game style that Haven, Stadium, Redacted, Reclaimed and friends give me lately. My all time favourite map in the BF franchise is RENEWAL. Great flow, i love the gameplay where i struggle to get to the next capture point, avoiding helicopters, bombs, snipers etc. you know...Battlefield stuff. 
Running and gunning is so not what this game used to stand for. 
I know, i know...i hear the word METRO....i do enjoy those kind of maps once in a while, but not really my kind of Battlefield. 
The original Hourglass was a masterpiece in my mind. I remember devs talking about it before the game was released. Have a fight on the streets, then go to the top of building...then parachute all the way over to the stadium and change up the gameplay completely. It was a dream for me. It was everything that they promised. The original state of the game was so suited to that map. Angel called in a crate and you could suddenly be a sniper at the top of the stadium...in my opinion in many ways it was an evolution for Battlefield. Then the 'run and gun' crowd ruined everything for me. Cheers.
