I have enjoyed playing my first couple of rounds on the reworked Manifest map.They have done a good job on what I have seen so far and it's a much more interesting map in it's new guise.The most noticeable layout change is the completely new A1 flag I have had some good battles attacking / defending this new area, a lot of action seems to happen there.Getting from A to B is a bit easier if you use the newly added zip wires to get up the mountain. B1 and B2 are much closer together now and in general the map flows much better with lots more cover from what I have gleaned so far.I also liked the weather effect, rain / sleet and thought I saw a few lightning flashes which added a bit of extra atmosphere.I think the map has been well optimised and movement feels snappy and smooth.The lighting and textures are much better now too and the whole map has has a good facelift imho, so good job DICE. 👍

I wouldnt be able to tell because even the custom playlist takes me always to spearhead. heres a hint: ADD A SERVER browser.

I dunno, I still don't like it. It's better but not by much. I especially dislike the two Bravos there's just no semblance of a frontline just players appearing from every random directions. Then reappearing from another, complete mess! The two Echos are decent Charlie and Delta feel like they are way off out of the way no really worth troubling The two alphas are decent should be renamed 'Macays playground'I dunno Manifest just looks like a bad design allround to me! I only enjoy it in the ELBC-RAM

@RayD_O1I'm really sorry, but i don't like it. I don't wanna be nagging but if you ask my honest opinion i must say i'm not a fan. I'm a rush player, so keep that in mind.Even with the rework they've done it falls short of what a good rush map should be. Like i said before in some of my posts, the maps are too narrow. They're designed so that the fight is concentrated into bottlenecks. There's no room for tactical gameplay, you don't have room to flank your enemies for a suprise attack with your squad cause you always get spotted.On top of that, the flying squirrels, the grappling hooks, the drones flying around... you can get shot from all angles at every second of the game.This all results in incredibly fast and chaotic gameplay. Not to mention highly unrealistic, its like they don't even try to be a serious shooter anymore...Imo battlefield should be a (little) bit slower paced and tactical game.This is easily accomplished by widening the maps so you have room to work with your squad. And please get rid of the stupid gadgets that make players fly around on the map... its soooooo childish

It's very interesting / enlightening to hear others views and also how the map is playing out in the various game modes.I am still enjoying the reworked version in Conquest mode.It is concerning to hear that some players have not been able to play it yet due to MM limitations.Keep your feedback coming guys. 👍

Didn't feel very different from the previous version. A and E have closer flags but nothing that makes it a lot better, and now you have a huge empty spot north of E or south of A. They changed the containers/covers quite a lot on A/E, but it didn't change the flow around the flags.
I always found Manifest as an "OK" map, and it's still an "OK" map. Not bad, not great (and fun part of it is still around B).

Don't like it.
Probably because I'm forced to play it on conquest instead of breakthrough.
Why the hell is the only breakthrough option the normal rotation???
Why do we wait 1.5 mins in matchmaking per round now?????????
Why do i have to die to nightbirds repetitively for 24 minutes so that i can go 31-8 barely able to find enemies to shoot and running on foot all over the stupid map, instead of enjoying breakthrough infantry play at 82-8????
Do I have the examples? YES

Reworked Manifest looks very solid right now. But it could be a much better, just by setting bad weather / rain by default.
It's actually day and night between good weather and bad on this map, just check the screenshots.
Bad weather suit perfectly for Manifest 👌

Personally I do not like it, the rework feels like so much dead space around the map that is just there, not used, no use and nothing there, last few times I've played everyone seems to be camping the cranes even more before rework, also before the mountain felt like a big battle ground where both teams fought for it, seems like to me whoever gets there first holds the mountain the entire game.

Flying on this map is just so trash too, nowhere to hide, so often the aa will just sit on the top of mountain entire game, the jet feels so useless, or I go against sweaty try hards in the stealth chopper who play like their lives depend on winning just doing bombing runs over and over or just chase me in the heli, feels like no balance. Do my best to skip this map and Discarded.

Haven't played game post patch yet but map rework was a buff to tank survivability with all of the lines of shipping containers offering good cover from rockets and choppers.

And as per normal with 2042 maps, which side of the map you start on plays a significant role in tank survivability.

On Manifest RU side is where you get the tank advantages due to the map design.
