No old maps!

Hi devs! Please no walks down memory lane or blasts from the past for 2042! They are already available in other BF games and no need for them here in this game. If anything make new maps specifica...

    @k1u73 Totally agree .. peoples asking to revigorate their " nostalgia " in a way that will never be satisfying for them .. We need new and exciting experiences and this is what peoples should learn ..

    Even if i go back to watch childhood movies or games they will never have the effect they had on me back then .. Most of the thing i revisit actually make me more disapointed than anything ..

    I wish we had more maps that are more diversified with underground tunel such as subways tunnels half destroyed but part of a bigger maps that have multiples type of environements similar to Division darkzone tunels rather than the meatgrinder non sens that was Metro in BF3

@-DFA-Thump
You can disagree all you want objectively Gaspian border is a terrible map and would play compleatly worst if the player count was even a little over 64 players ...

In caspian C to E and the or E to B are no mans lands , Zero cover , Zero terrain cover , its a plane dead zones where you get farmed by vehicles .. being trap at E is a nightmare .. there is no points in Orbital that are designed that badly ..

D1 and D2 have cover and a underground tunel linking them .. and lots of object scatter across . C1 C2 as well , F1 . A1 or B2 all have multiples lanes , entry points and cover .. etc. The worst objective might be the missile capture point in orbital but even that provide a tower to get high ground or to drop yourself in wingsuits or parachute ..

I dont base my analysis on nostalgia or aesthetic taste and so on .. Orbital is just a far superior map and way better designed for large scale combat than caspian border wich is just mostly bad design decision and randoms point placements .. barely any cover ... Even if BF4 version of caspian was somewhat a bit of a improovement , its still not remotly anywhere as good as orbital ..

@Stew360 I'm still not convinced you know what objectively means...

    ob·jec·tive·ly
    /əbˈjektivlē,äbˈjektivlē/

    adverb
    in a way that is not influenced by personal feelings or opinions.


    So regardless of my personal taste for setting feels etc.. For exemple i prefer by far Killzone 2 aestetic style post apocalyptic settings shades of grey and dull environement over colorfull vibrants etc.. stuff

    Yet i dont let my personal preferences influence my opinions on map designs in any way .. i look at it in the perspective of gameplay experience for Vehicles , ground and air as well as infantry gameplay ... Caspian is a minimalistic map made with minimalistic effort ,, its not the best or the worst map its Ok at best and have lots of problematics lanes especially anything leading to E thats said ..

    Its a good thing DICE are open to rework some of the maps based on player feeback and i hope it will help because many past BF maps should also have been reworked

      What about a mashup of old maps? I think it'd maybe be interesting to combine Argonne and Amiens from BF1. You could have Argonne as a fortified forest around a city or something like that.

        Some of these posts hurt my head to read. Just being completely honest with that statement.
