Small Maps, Low Zoom Snipers – Odd Choice for a Battlefield Beta?

I found the map selection in this beta quite strange. We have two very small, tight maps, and even the so-called “large” map feels narrow and small. I was expecting something more in the style of Sinai Desert or Siege of Shanghai from previous open betas — those maps weren’t truly huge, but they felt like the standard Battlefield experience.

What makes it even stranger is how snipers have very limited zoom, almost as if they were intentionally designed for small-scale maps. It just feels a bit off.

On the positive side, the BF3/BF4 vibe is definitely present — much more than in BF2042, though not quite as strong as in BF1. Graphics are excellent, and the explosion/destruction effects feel carefully crafted. I didn’t encounter any bugs that affected gameplay; everything ran smoothly.

    I dont think DICE knows what to do with snipers in general. They hate to have them in the game it seems, but cant also scrap the entire category of weapons (and the entire Recon class with it) either. And when they try to address the problem (taking Beacon away from Recon to avoid camping) they make things worse (since Assault can run and camp with sniper rifle and carbine and soon Beacon as well).

    I made entire post about why Recon feels so weird in this BF, but TLDR: his kit (TUGS, C4, entire Specops subclass) tries to incentivize being closer to the action, but sniper rifle as his signature pushes the entire Recon class even further away from the action than in previous BFs (due to general killswitch on quickscoping though nanosecond TTK from ARs and carbines and SMGs).

  • I felt like I was playing CoD, and I dont play CoD....
    I play Arma 3, Squad, Hell Let Loose, PUBG and BattleBit Remastered.
    Im obsesed with big maps games (except Dayz bores me to death)
    First game that I played that had large maps were BF3, BF4 and BF 1, the rest of series were a failure or woke like BF V.
    So where are the big maps?
