I dont agree on the path problem with maps
I think the path problem like described by ea is a real miss. You should have triangles for better tactical play and the flags shouldn’t be in a straight line!!!! The reason you get shot from al sid...

The problem is the current maps are garbage. So moving objectives to different locations is not going to change that fact.
It is no coincidence that two of the worst maps are Kaleidoscope and Hourglass, both have nothing then skyscrapers. Even though there is some vertical play, it is completely segregated from one another.
Those maps were clearly not made with Conquest or Breakthrough in mind. Even better maps like Manifest feel like they were made more for BR or Hazard Zone than Conquest or Breakthrough, that's why it has a ton of unused map area.
So unless they actually added more cover, moved physical parts of the map (ie. put stadium in Hourglass in the center of the map), I don't know how much you can really improve much with these current maps.
@AdamonicI totally agree.
In earlier titles Dice wouldn't make any real changes to maps (like Suez in BF1), only move flags around and that will not really be enough.
We got some small changes to Aerodrome in BFV, but that was only a few extra assets (some boxes and some trucks), not real changes to the map.
The maps in 2041 needs major revisions of their layout (almost all the maps does), not just a box or a bush here and there, for the changes to make a real difference.
Frostbite seems like a really bad engine to work with and I fear this will not happen, instead only some small changes to flag positions. This can perhaps improve the maps, but I doubt it will save the game.
