Love the way the new battlefield feels, however it is lacking the grandness of the battlefield franchise.The maps are way to small compared to previous titles leaving players to be forced into a bottle neck. The maps feel way to closed in and your forced to engage every time you turn a corner barely giving your squad a chance to advance on a position. Once you do hold down a position, the objectives are so close together you can just respawn on an adjacent objective and run back, leaving medics running around trying to revive you just to be canceled on. The spacing of objectives especially, conquest need to be waaaay further apart, this would push squads to hold down a point because the distance between objectives requires a vehicle and far to much time consumed trying to run there. Like the old battlefields...You used to be able to scale the mountains well out from the action, and then strategically plan your way in to the objective with your squad equiped with appropriate vehicles and weapons. Now you cant even go 5m up a mountain without being out of the combat zone.... WTF Gone are the days of Battlefield where playing meant team work. Now its just about getting in the action as quick as possible and getting kills...

Not having close-weapons modes, upcoming 4c4 or 8v8 modes, small to mid size maps and other bad decisions confirmed that they were not and are not interested in building a game for their fanbase but for CoD and other FPS players, since those are bigger communities that will boost their sales. Corporate at the end of the day. Sad anyways.

I find some maps I can just spawn camp the defenders easily. I also feel lack communication is a problem to, alot of new players don't know how to make text chat visible. I do wish we were able to talk to whole team so I can just yo let's flank or hey let's smoke.

just played a few rounds of 2042 and every time I go back to bf6 the maps stick out. Usually in every bf title that I played since bf4 I usually really like about 2 maps that come with the first release and for this one they are meh. Operation firestorm seems to be the best but I am not very impressed by it, nevertheless it gives the bf vibe, the others dont, maybe Mirak valley is close. The New York maps give me hardline vibes but without the cool cars and flag mechanics from hotwire(I can only play hardline in hotwire mode). I really like the vehicles in the game, they are a complete package for mine detection and so on, it doesnt get annoying that you can either do 1 thing or the other and it incentivises the gunner to stay and support the tank/heli/vehicle, event the plane, being able to bomb the ground while also having air missles, nice. If I play orbital or renewal and come back to bf6, the game seems tiny. I hope no operation metro gets ported because most of the maps are metro, ah and why not also include iwo jima in bf6 except 2042, that would had rocked

As much as i love metro and so does everyone else, i think your spot on, everymap has that same meatgrinder vibe of funneling players to specific points of the map. **bleep** i miss the old maps...

So far from what ive seen its been catered towards a more chaotic gameplay and yes, spawning directely back in the action, and rushing between objectives back and forth to bang kills. No consequence for dying because you just spawn straight back into it..Lack of communication is massive, the quick commands have little effect as no one seems to respond or even acknowledge it lol.

Very chaotic. Maybe less players each team and longer death timer for the defenders which would make medics even more important, and again ability to voice chat with the whole team nearby would be nice. I hope someone with power sees this lol.

Firestorm in BF4 is a completely different map. Easily 2X as wide and long. DICE has squeezed everything into a narrow rectangle yet BF6 has the exact same player number and vehicles spawns as BF4. Does not make sense to force players into a funnel - its Battlefield - large maps shouldn't be funneling players.

The vehicular part of bf6 is suffering due to the size of the maps and the funneliness (if thats a word) of the maps layout. Id love to see an actual size comparison between the original firestorm and the bf6 firestorm.

It seems they adopted a game wide hourglass pattern on the small maps where there is a center flag point while for the big ones we have the same hourglass but in 2 close center points. Mirak valley seems to be the only one to kinda break the pattern with 3 points but 2 corridors which are further apart, with a diamond shape. I hope they change this, or at least go the mirak valley way more

It is interesting to compare firestorm with new sobek city. Firestorm has the hourglass for the infantry and the, desert for tank to tank high range battles and the mountain for the snipers. This makes 3 corridors. In new sobek the hill in the middle collapses the infantry corridor with the tank corridor but has the buildings in the way. For the sniper corridor, the right side has Easter access to the top of buildings while having harder access to the mid point and this is why it again feels more suffocating. It is clear that the mid points need 3+ flags. Curious how a 5 flag mid point map would look like or a 2 hourglass on top oh each other pattern where you actually have a 4 flag midpoint that can create a circular player engage pattern
