@mputnam7 Isn't this obvious. Dice designed 7 Hazard Zone maps at launch, and wanted to add one more Hazard Zone map each season. These are not maps that are actually designed to be used as conquest or breakthrough maps.
Didn't you always wondered why there is no standard TDM?
The reason is the maps lack classical interesting TDM areas.
The increased engagement ranges and the flat designs are to encourage engagements between the hard disk hunters.
Infantry engagements just don't make sense on any of the maps in a whole.
So they don't have enough map ideas prepared for BF2042 - The Battlefield part. All they have are repurposed Hazard Zone assets.
While BFV was a Battlefield not made right, BF2042 is a Not-Battlefield not made right.
