Small maps that are same size as similar maps in previous titles...
There will be bigger maps definitely but the city maps we have in beta is not small by bf3, b4, bf1 standards at all. Seine crossing was same size, Grand bazaar was smaller, Zavod was same size, Flooded was same size, Amiens same sized, all maps in Dragons teeth dlc is smaller or same size, same with aftermath dlc. Just to mention some examples. I just think empty the running simulator maps in bf2042 have people forgetting how classic bf city maps actually were made.
Cod maps is way smaller than these unless you think of the lousy conquest clone mode.
