This map is really bad. There is too many pathways and angles to be shot from. I am always being shot from damn near every direction. There's plenty of cover which I'd usually say is a good thing, yet I keep finding that the cover is completely pointless when I'm consistently being shot at in every direction. It feels exactly like the base maps since there's a lack of decent cover. Especially on Breakthrough. The defending team is like fish is a barrel on most objectives. The attacking team just uses the Ridgeline and shoots down onto the objective, making no where safe for cover. This map needs some major reworking in my opinion.

@ZRuff46 I disagree, I think the map is actually quite fun.It does however have some issues with camping, such as with the Rail Gun tank on certain mountains. The thing is though, once you flank the campers, there's nothing they can do to stop you, so back capping is the way just like with Metro.It feels like Metro if it were made to accommodate both vehicles and infantry, which is kinda fun and I have wanted a map like this since Metro.Still though, I wouldn't mind a Operation Metro return in Portal.

Map is fun. You people just cry about literally everything. If you hate Battlefield so much, just stop playing and go back to COD.

@ZRuff46 1000% agree, just a camp fest on the hills, the map feels empty, the trailer had me believing the underground was huge and big part of the map, it's maybe 10 % of the map, just a meat grinder in the middle, everyone in tanks just camps on the sides of the map.Played it maybe 30 times so far, and never want to again.

@Anarchiesx Go whine in someone else's thread if you have nothing constructive to talk about. No one wants to listen to your mouth

@ArchAngeL-PCX wrote:@Psubondlol Its the same good fun on Conquest. This map would be considered a medium sized 64 player map at best. I don't know why they thought it would be a great idea for 128 players.metro and locker were fun meatgrinders but this map isn't. too many angles to be shot from

Anyone else agree that Flashpoint is a terrible map?

@ZRuff46Seems fine to me.

Frantic close quarters in the middle and room to breathe and play a slower paced game on the other flags.

Snipers on the hill has been greatly exaggerated and in the central area there's still lots of cover.

Is it a great map, not really, but it's alright as far as fresh content goes.

I'd rate it below Stranded and Spearhead and above the bore fest that is Exposure.

Yes, it has the DNA of all the base maps all.over it.
Just go capture C. You will get shot by all the 64 players on the other team.

It is, without doubt, a complicated map with numerous approaches etc that has only been out a week.
I feel that lack of map knowledge plays a major part in some of the frustrations I am am seeing and suffering from myself.
As players learn the map better, it may well improve with age.
It's not a bad map but there are better at the moment.

@ZRuff46 I like the map by no means perfect.

It’s horrible for breakthrough IF you have cowards on your side 😂 who just allow the attackers to run you over.

Sadly vehicles camping on the hill as defenders close to the capture points is the way to go to assist the ground troops.

Conquest it’s just another map but definitely should not have any air vehicles

This is the worst map by far. No skill required only camping with DMR and SPH, GG DICE

@ZRuff46 Try the 64p version. I hope we get to play this soon. The map is indeed pretty bad with 128p on.
