Will each season have more than 1 new map?
I saw there was a rumor about a new map “exposure”. I just hope that’s not the only map we get for season one. Ideally I’d like 2 new for 2042 and 2 for Portal each season. im looking at ...

@WedgeTornado They've already announced the scope of content for seasons.
1 map and specialist per season, a few more guns, and some vague "new content" for Portal and "more fresh content" for AOW, whatever that means.

- @edgecrusherO0 That’s nowhere near good enough imo. So 4 seasons gives us 4 maps total maybe 5? So (11/12)plus portal 6= 17-18?
That’s no where near enough considering 6 of them are portal maps. That’s less than BF5 has which had the plug pulled a year after release.
I’m expecting a solid 25 at minimum at the end of this games life.
Also wish there only being 19 guns in this game I expect multiple guns released each season. Bf4 had nearly 100.
We should have 4 new for the base and 4 for portal each season at least. A couple here and there ain’t going to cut it.- @WedgeTornado 4 maps, plus they're reworking Kaleidoscope (and apparently ONLY that map) during S1, so the other 6 maps will not see significant changes by then. Best we can assume is that by the end of Season 7 that they'll have finally improved the original maps.
And I agree, especially for a game that launched without a campaign and that had 4 studios working on it (with Ripple handling Portal), this is an absolute dearth of content for a game we were told would have tons of content at launch and a lot more coming.
Four maps is a lot to do every 3 months (which is apparently roughly how long seasons will run), and the bigger problem is the lack of initial content the game shipped with. For not having a campaign, which is hugely resource and time intensive to create, it should have had at least 1.5x the number of maps/guns MINIMUM.
But sadly DICE is still choosing/forced to work with the Frostbite engine which is reportedly a nightmare to do anything with and prone to breaking in the development environment. So with the poor tools available this seems to be the best they can do, which is a shame because the franchise deserves better.
It's only one "new" map. There should be more Portal maps added but unrelated to the new BF2042 map.
Pretty crazy to think, if they only have 4 seasons, BF2042 might end with only 11 maps 18 months after launch. I think BFV launched with 9 and has either 19 or 20 now, BF1 launched with 9 maps and ended up with 29.
- @Adamonic And both BF 1/V had campaigns, too. Sure they were fairly short affairs, but I enjoyed the hell outta them both. It's wild that both games still launched with more maps and guns than BF2042's core mode did.
Yeah Portal exists and all, but it's essentially a different game and was created by a different studio, and should have been "additional content" to the core AOW content rather than taking away from that core content. - @Adamonic 11 base game maps plus 6 portal(technically are maps they designed too) so 17. If we get a messily 1 map per season.
- @Adamonic- Edge said portal was created by a different studio so idk whether to count those or not.

- @GrizzGolf Prepare to riot then, because I'm willing to place a lot of money that it ain't happenin.
The only thing you can bank on is getting a bunch of new skins to buy.
