So we were told this would come in Season 1. On Thursday, we will start Week 6 and next Wednesday will be the halfway point of the season. What are the odds we see a map update by next Wednesday?

So many classic maps they could add that would make it enjoyable. indeed, and just think how much better the game would be if we had more new maps like Exposure added to freshen up BF2042. !

The whole interview with the 'All In' and "everyone is working on 2042' did give me some hope, but with the very minimal content release and communication, it seems evident those are blatant lies. We should be getting 2 new maps per season and 1 remake map per month, at a minimum.I'm not talking remaking the horrible maps that were released with the game, I'm talking previous BF maps.The fixing of the released new stuff should already be done. They had final screenshots and 'fly-by' videos for the 2 they started on like what, 2-3 months ago? They are not creating new maps, just adding features to existing maps. Geez, a basic map editor can pretty much do that.Remaking existing maps and then dribbling them out over time is somehow considered continued release of 'new' content to them and it is ridiculous. Yeah I fully agree, BF2042 needs at least 2 new maps per season, 8 AOW maps is very low after 9 months .We used to get 4 new maps per season in previous BF'S which refreshed the game every 3 months.

@Adamonic I know we are lacking maps but I would not be upset if they just removed that map until it’s revamped.

@CountSero I thought I read that too, but couldn't find it again.

Just crazy to think they made a blog post about the changes back on April 1st, so it will be over 4 months before we see just the first map update.

Also, they have never announced any other map update besides the original two. So they think Hourglass is good/fun?

The last I heard about it was on the IGN link below :
Finally, Season 1 also brings some updates to existing maps. Kaleidoscope will be getting a minor facelift in August, with more cover strewn across the map and new POIs. It’s also in the works for Renewal to get a slight rework in Season 2.

@Adamonic i thought also kaleidoscope and hourglass should be the first two maps because they caused the biggest controverse with the players

renewal was in conquest not the biggest problem but is worst in Breakthru so I think it is the main reason they got their hands on this (if I remember this video right, they will try to release it early in season two)

I don’t know how complicated is to design a map in the Frostengine but imho it is obvious that some of the old talents are not at DICE anymore

Also, I know that map designing is not easy and needs a lot of time, but time is what they don’t really have anymore…

If we are lucky we have 4 new maps and 4 reworked maps till end of season 4….

@RayD_O1 thanks, has there ever been any official confirmation on that date?

Like how would IGN know "in August" without any quotes from EA/DICE?

@Adamonic August are the last four weeks of the season one which would match with the statment "late in season one"

@Adamonic Probably what they were told during the preview. It tracks with the season likely ending at the end of August.

@edgecrusherO0 So projecting that out thru S2, we won't see Renewal until December?
