Can we pls get Stadium back on the 128 player layout on Hourglass? It was my only reason to play Hourglass before the rework.Leave the current version to 64 players mode as is and just expand the layout to include the stadium on 128, I can definitely see the potential with the clear foundation for a path to the objective with the bridge and the little village beside it. This will also put the Arches in the middle of the map, which I think would be a much greater clashing zone for 128 than the 1 bridge we have right now for both modesOr just put it in Tdm, Rush or Breakthrough. It's just such a waste to leave it out of the game and I get so sad when I press "m" and see it be unused ;-;

I would take that stadium and plant it right in the open desert next to the USA spawn. Then I would reduce the size of the map more so the upper right. Add some more building's probably around the highway road and high rises. Then boom we got a good map.

I agree O.P. the stadium was for me the best part of Hourglass.

@ProkenGz There’s been threads about it before, it was a great playscape. It’s a great CQB map and would make a great TDM map. Heck take it and plop in onto Kaleidoscope instead of that building and we’re good to go.

Large maps, vehicle/infantry COMBINED arms gameplay (and destruction) is how BF is described. We had that with the original Hourglass. I personally loved it. Little downtime between fights. Talk with my squad, approach the next flag. Use a vehicle. There was a rooftop flag. It was fun to take/defend. Then parachute all the way to the stadium for a close quarters combat. It was everything that Dice promised before the launch and it was awesome! Then the crying started and we got Reclaimed. (THE worst map in BF history for me). Of course the COD crowd liked it. They are from COD.

@ProkenGz They've said they're going to do something with the stadium, or something like it.The current hopium is it's one of the incredible TWO maps that they're supposedly working on for S7.But I have zero expectations because DICE's only consistency is disappointment and frustration. The stadium was the best part of Hourglass and it was never even a part of the playspace in Breakthrough mode, rofl.

New hourglass is better in my opinion, but I also wish for the stadium to be included.
Please give us back our beloved stadium.

That pretty much would fix it.

It's been all but confirmed for two months that the stadium is getting reworked in Season 7. Actually we knew about this a year ago before the first Hourglass rework. I agree the Hourglass rework is *, but come on now.

@BFPlayer10 Yep I’ve said it here before, my bet also is that one of the 2 ‘new’ maps in season 7 will be an infantry only map focussing on the Hourglass stadium, and maybe it’s surroundings.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d welcome back the stadium, but it would be a let down to sell it to us as new map.
