One thing for me personally that BF2042 did better than all previous titles are the LARGE maps. The original 7-8 maps are the most enjoyable maps for me in the entire franchise history. Not necessarily 128 players, but the larger map size, more capture points and the variety of the flag areas. I believe we had many large maps in BF2, BF BC, BC2, BF4 and BFV as well. I just hope there would be no more small hallway shooter maps like redacted or stadium. etc. For me, large maps mean the roots of BF. We can have a server browser, factions, no more specialists, classes etc. they all mean NOTHING if i have to play on small maps like mentioned above without vehicles. If I think of the roots of battlefield, this comes to my mind: large maps with vehicles, destruction, classes, server browser, but mostly LARGE maps.
