@George_M951 Good luck. I don't think they want to do urban maps because they take more time and detail. Where a map with a ship in the middle of a dry lake takes probably no effort and then they can drag it out for 3 months like they're doing such great work. I think the maps department must only be that one guy we hear in the podcasts. It shouldn't take 12-18 weeks to develop a mediocre empty map with 1 or 2 structures

@SCUBASTEVE120 I do not understand how previous iterations of BF (or COD, for that matter), could have dozens of excellent maps, and DICE struggles with 6 over 18 months for BF2042. Something is fundamentally wrong with DICE's staffing/budget/expertise.

@Lancelot_du_Lac i would just give up 2042 🤨
- BFB-Praetorian2 years agoSeasoned Veteran@Lancelot_du_Lac Is it not the Specialists?
I'm struggling to think of a decent CQC map that a horde of Mackays wouldn't break. Imagine Fort De Vaux with a wall of Dozers.
Might be easier to just port over a hit list of the best BF maps, keep the gunplay and gadgets from 2042 and remove the Specialist abilities.
Just use them as skins in their current 4 classes. - cso77772 years agoSeasoned Ace@Lancelot_du_Lac They knew the game was a failure even before launch.
The maps were bad, the specialists were hated by the community, most standard BF-features were missing etc etc.
I don't think they ever believed in 'rescuing' the game, they only used as little resources as possible and most of it was spent on finishing the game, fail at fixing the existing maps and then create as little new content as possible.
BF 2042 is one big scam from Dice/EA.- Anobix2 years agoSeasoned Ace

BF 2042 is one big scam from Dice/EA.Agreed with the majority of that. I have to imagine if the game held more of a player base we would have had more content by now. But they stretched everything super thin across the seasons.
If we were getting 3-4 maps per season (like we used to with content packs with Premium) I'd bet by now we'd have some full infantry/cqc/urban maps. But because of the limited resources they make a single jack of all trades-master of none map per season. (And obviously spending some amount of the already limited resources redoing the mediocre-at-best launch maps)
