They're all the same!!! Flashpoint is just more of the same. It's 99% all the same assets we have already seen just slapped together. It's the same terrain, same buildings, same damn everything! All the maps play the same. Where are the urban / naval / CQC maps? Where is the VARIETY?

@I_DYN4MO_I Well I've watched the reveals and now I've watched jackfrags reveal and I'm scratching my head at the amount of praise the new map is getting.It's looking completely meh to me.Same boring buildings, same desert, same interiors.Why can't Dice build a village map like the amazing ones we played on in V?Why are so many flags just a boring selection of concrete walls, boxes, crates, containers, and an uninspiring building dotted around the place?https://youtu.be/-L8655RICFE

Yes agreed @I_DYN4MO_I ,You are highlighting a big part of the shortcomings in the BF2042 game, which we raised our concerns about around game launch 1.5 years ago. The maps may have different names but the type of game play, contents at our disposal and the strategic considerations are unfortunately very much just the same. Hence the variance is hardly there and the lack of contents and intelligent map designs/layouts makes the gameplay tedious after a very short period of time. So the long-term relevance and interest is hard to come by in this game, as most maps and no matter the game mode are then played the same linear way again and again. I personally miss the variance and wow-effect, the stickiness so to speak, for having a desire to come back again and again for more. Strange really as aka BF3, BFBC2, BF4, even BF1 and BFV (despite I am not much for their WW1 and WW2 game environments) had all the special thing that after each game round was over, it made me stick around again for just one more game round! (again and again... :o)

@Tank2042Man This has been the trend since BF1. They did a little bit better in BFV. But its the worst it has ever been in BF2042. I believe it all comes down to corporate greed.I remember a DICE dev talk with David Sirland 4 or 5 years ago, where he commented on this. It was in response to the BF1 maps being so open and rural and how they were going to have more Urban/City maps in BFV. He seemed slightly annoyed by the players desire for urban maps. He almost groaned when he commented about how they were so expensive to make. And he was talking about financial cost not compute resources.If you go back and look at the maps in BF4, there is a lot more uniqueness and detail in the design and artwork. And the variety of the aesthetic and atmosphere between maps was signficant. It really felt like different parts of the world and was much more immersive. Too often people confuse fidelity of a shiny new engine for detail and art.

Kind of embarrassing how JackFrags praises "scripted destruction" of some really uninteresting walls in the first 60 seconds. Seems like some paid advertising...The new map basically looks like the small mountain section on renewal and that is one of the worst maps ingame.

I'm happy for it. I don't really care as long as the flow is good and I can have fun on it.

I’m sick of every time you log on to play you rotate through the same 4 or 5 maps over and over and over !

Why the constant need for something completely different all the time?
That'd be a new game!
A new map with a completely different flow, new additions and new things to conquer..
That's all that's required for me.
Look forward to checking it out.
