Map design

Question

I feel the map design in 2042 is poor and I think many would agree. Why?

* No urban maps. Urban maps have been the some of the top maps and most played maps in past titles. In a modern/futuristic warfare setting urban maps in cities and rural areas with lots of buildings with interiors is where this game should be.

* ABSOLUTELY NO CQC INFANTRY ONLY MAP. Each and every battlefield has had that great cqc infantry only meat grinder that people love to play over and over (myself included). People would come back to play that. Maps include: operation locker, operation metro, Argonne forest.

* In season 5, by bringing us a map from bf4, this is truly the chance to give us "that love letter to our fans" that was talked about before launch (which hurt a large portion of your player base). Please pick a good one (as we know we will probably only get this 1 map in S5 it could redeem much that has been lost.

* Since the first teaser image, I guessed this new map was going to be ZAVOD 311, then the next image came and I was even more sure. Please I recommend picking one that players actually loved. Zavod 311 was by no means a favorite. I have thousands of hours in bf4 and the favorite maps were definitely: seige of Shanghai, operation locker, and even operation metro quite often. These maps had the replayability and we're favorites for reasons mentioned above.

For some reason, the devs think they know better and know what the players want but what they have delivered is NOT what the players want.

The maps in BF2042 are mostly awful, even the newest maps are not really that great. And the remakes improved the launch-maps, but didn't make any of them into 'good maps'.

I agree we need an infantry-only map, the only problem is the awful netcode, which would be a big annoyance on such a map.

@NazT55 This is true. What irritates me the most is they say they engage with the community but I can't get them to engage in a relaxant topic such as this. Or some of the other ones up lately. But the one about "how do I buy the season pass?" They jump at that to engage because they know they're about to get some more of our hard earned money.

Metro would have been fun in 2042

@cso7777 I play on console, iv never experienced this net code problem that iv always heard about. The bf game that iv ever had any trouble with really is 2042 with some mild rubber banding
