Re: What do you think of the Breakaway rework?

@EA_Leeuw
Just a thought, could the reworked Breakaway map be put on 24/7 for a day or two so everyone can get a chance to play it. ?

I have only been lucky enough to play half a round so far.

I don't mean for it to replace Exodus or normal AOW playlists I mean as an additional option.

Would be popular I think. 👍

    @EA_Leeuwcan we please have Breakaway 24/7 on all game modes for at least a week? Please submit the Jira, I know you can.

    I really like the map, the Breakthrough flow is so much better and Conquest gameplay feels tighter (if that makes sense).

    From where it was before, until now, it is easily the best map rework. It feels like this was done by a different dev than the other updates. So whoever did this, let them know they did an excellent job, I am impressed. With that said, can that dev also update Hourglass and Discarded with the same vibe?

    100% agree, @EA_Leeuw mentioned above that he has passed the idea on to the team, so fingers crossed.🤞

    @Adamonic, the teams are aware of the feedback. That is unfortunately all I can say. 🙂

    @EA_Leeuw Played a couple of games on it. Easily the best rework and one of the best maps in the game right now. Concentrated, calculated, with enough space for everything. Overall feels amazing.

    Thank you. I am very sure that they are very happy to hear that so many people are enjoying the Breakaway rework! 🐧

    Thanks, really I hope they respond favourably as I am still struggling to play Breakaway.

    @EA_Leeuw thanks for the reply, I understand the process. Thanks for letting them know.

    Please also let them know about loadouts. With the class gadget restrictions, only one loadout makes everything feel MORE restricted. Adding at least one per class would loosen that up a little bit.

    Have yet to even play the re-worked map.  I am surprised they didn't add a 24/7 version.

    Me neither I had to set up a custom 128 player Breakaway Portal experience just so I could go check it out.

    I keep getting matched into friggin' Hourglass since the update dropped, WTH is up with that?

    For me it seems like by far the best rework, it is more than just a few containers here and there.

    Personally the other reworked maps have not really done much for me. Renewal/Kaleidoscope/Orbital still have the problem of large open areas without cover and Manifest is just meh.

    Breakaway is how all the reworks should have been done.

    @EA_Leeuw The map update was the ONLY good thing to come out of this update. 1 step forward, 25 steps back.

    @EA_LeeuwI would love to give you my opinion. However, its only shown up one time due to the horrible matchmaking system in BF2042.

  • @EA_Leeuw on threads like this it would be better if you had 2 threads.
    One for Conquest and one for Breakthrough.

    They are completely different modes and the maps are played completely differently.

    Same goes for everything about battlefield.

    Balancing in one mode affects the other mode and EA are doing a disservice to the playerbase with this one shoe fits all approach.

    For real all these maps are so much better after the reworks. Its so much fun. I really hope we get another season after 5.
