So, what are the chances of getting Kharg Island or Damavand Peak ported from 3?
Or Tehran Highway or Grand Bazaar. I'm just sayin, it could be fun...

None, I hope. Let them stick to new maps. Regurgitating the same crap over and over again is death of creativity.
Normally I’d agree. While I don’t hate all the maps in 6 (though a few are definitely poorly designed), none of them are as iconic as the classics in 3. My favorite map in 6 is probably Siege of Cairo but even then, if they offered to swap it for Grand Bazaar, I’d take that deal in a heartbeat.
Given that we’re only getting two maps per season, the current pace doesn't feel sustainable. They either need to increase the volume or drop a "banger" map that people are happy to play 24/7. Battlefield 3 had several of those Operation Metro, Caspian Border, and Kharg Island all had dedicated 24/7 communities.
While Operation Metro is great, it’s been overused being in 3, 4 and then again as Operation Underground in 5. Personally, I think Caspian Border is a bit overrated. That makes Kharg Island the obvious choice for a well-designed, large-scale map that can hold people's attention (especially since the assets theoretically already exist). Honestly, Kharg should have been the pick over Operation Firestorm, considering they’re set in the same region.
I hope you're right, I think the main thing I want to avoid is map burn out. I just figured they have a path to provide that. I also just hope, as I said above, that they just have a banger map they are about to drop since for me most of the map design has been ok at best.
VeteranOF3 I completely agree with you. The maps in 6 just haven’t hooked me the same way the Battlefield 3 maps did. In BF3, no matter which map it was, I always had fun playing on it. The design of those maps just worked so well for the gameplay.
Right now, the only map in BF6 that I really enjoy is Siege of Cairo. The others are okay, but none of them really give me that same feeling that the BF3 maps did.
As someone who mainly plays Rush, I also find it a bit disappointing that the mode doesn’t seem to get much attention. It’s a fantastic mode and one of the things that made Battlefield so memorable for me.
And honestly, I really miss the 24/7 servers dedicated to a single map. Back then it was so easy to jump into a server running your favorite map all day long. It feels like that kind of experience is much less accessible now, which is a shame.
Hopefully we’ll see some BF3 maps return in future seasons. I think that would bring back a lot of great memories and keep players engaged.
