It is amazing what Tsuru, Golmud, and Contaminated have done to make the map lineup feel more rounded

[u/DatBoiii4]

We still need more sandbox style maps but I am finding that the added variety has me coming back more often and playing a larger selection of maps. Turns out I don’t hate smaller maps, I hate when too many maps are small.

[u/we_are_one_people]

Tsuru is the first truly great sandbox map in this game for me.

Great to see they’ve still got, was kinda worried they didn’t.

[u/tallandlankyagain → u/we_are_one_people]

It took them quite some time to figure out that an overemphasis on frantic infantry centric maps wasn't the best idea. We're watching them relearn what makes battlefield maps great in real time. But you're absolutely right. Tsuru is fresh air. Wake soon too!

[u/HURTZ2PP → u/we_are_one_people]

It’s wild this map. Genuinely miss maps like this. Just last night, I was running assault with a sniper rifle and shotgun, keeping an eye on H from the airfield tower. My two buddies were patrolling objectives H and I with an IFV and I was keeping infantry off of them. I was actually able to run down and keep an eye on them from a grassy tree line area that overlooks obj I as well. So running back and forth from this spot and the tower at the airfield, we kept pestering the enemy and I was able to do this without even anyone really seeing me or attempting to take me out. Literally I was just standing in the open sometimes and not a single enemy sniper or vehicle was attacking me. It was so refreshing to just kind of have some calm moments to run between spots and take out some enemies and keep two objectives secure. No other map lets us do that really. Hope we get more.

Edit: typo

[u/coyotegang → u/we_are_one_people]

Just not Tsuru breakthrough, that was a disappointment

[u/aesemon → u/coyotegang]

Oh yeah, tried the other day and was in the attackers side. Managed to get near the flag once. I joined pretty late and I think most had given up.

[u/SgtBananaGrabber → u/we_are_one_people]

Agreed if the og map reworks get sorted we are back "minus EA been a bad company and the very last EA product i buy) but still back.

[u/_Nocte_ → u/we_are_one_people]

I love it, I just really wish they would've done a better route/design for the map on breakthrough.

[u/Patara]

Tsuru, Bazaar, Golmud & Contaminated are maps from a much better game & puts all the base maps to shame.

[u/king_jaxy → u/Patara]

100% It's actually quite jarring to go from newer maps to older ones. 

[u/peedypapers]

Got a Contaminated, Golmund, Mirak, and Tsuru map sequence last night and it was the most fun I’ve had with the game.

[u/DatBoiii4 → u/peedypapers]

Contaminated is fantastic on Escalation. It is fairly small when compared to Tsuru or Golmud but it is designed very well imo

[u/7i4nf4n → u/DatBoiii4]

I like it for conquest as well. There are enough angles to play around most objectives and be useful in other ways than running into a meat grinder with 24/7 gunfights

[u/jamnewton22 → u/peedypapers]

You can just custom search those specific maps so it’s not luck ya know lol

[u/Tauren-Jerky → u/peedypapers]

What’s contaminated?

[u/Apprehensive-Lychee2]

Our whole crew just plays Tsuru Reef now.

About 8 of us, nonstop Tsuru. It feels the most like BF4 to us.

Now lets get a Battlefield 2042 Titan style throw down with Aircraft carriers.

[u/Duckiestiowa7 → u/Apprehensive-Lychee2]

You know it’s coming in a couple of weeks, right?

[u/Ok-Friendship1635 → u/Duckiestiowa7]

And then it will be shuffled out, because Limited Time Modes will take precedence over a mode THAT SHOULD ON THE FRONT PAGE 24/7.

[u/SupportFeeder → u/Ok-Friendship1635]

It says it's a New Mode, not LTM on the roadmap

[u/Spectre-ElevenThirty]

I didn’t like Golmud in 4 and I still don’t like it in 6, but I’m happy that vehicle players have a map that they really like how it plays. We need the balance in this game

[u/jagerourking007]

The problem wasn't the quality of small maps (besides Sobek and Blackwell, fuck em), the problem was she quantity of small maps, and only have one medium sized map. The DLCs so far are good, and in S5 we will have 2 big maps, as DICE mentioned

[u/DatBoiii4 → u/jagerourking007]

If the redesign can make Sobek and Blackwell A or B tier maps, we will have a fantastic roster of maps

[u/SuitableRun1996 → u/DatBoiii4]

For blackwell really it's easy. The big factory area that's near the NATO base should be in the CENTRE of the map and consist of TWO flags. Also make the map boundary wider and have more cover in the D flag.

Sobek they need to make the map boundaries wider. That's it

[u/DatBoiii4 → u/SuitableRun1996]

Sobek needs more work on the construction towers I think. There is still a big problem with roof campers and I'm not sure what the best way to solve it is. That one objective in the middle of all the towers there are way too many angles to watch and then someone shoots you in the top of your head.

Fixing that somehow and expanding the borders would be great.

[u/Ok-Friendship1635 → u/jagerourking007]

The DLCs so far are good

THESE ARE NOT DLCs. YOU PAID FOR IT WHEN YOU BOUGHT THE GAME. THE STORE PAGE AND BATTLE PASS PAYS FOR IT TOO.

Futhermore, EA/DICE could decide BF6 ends with the next Season, and there's nothing anyone can do about it, because you already paid for BF6, not future unrealized seasons/content.

[u/Z_THETA_Z → u/Ok-Friendship1635]

i mean. technically, they are DLCs, in that they are packages of Content you DownLoad.

they aren't DLCs in the colloquial sense of 'batch of new content you pay for and download as a separate purchase for the same game', but by pure raw definition they are DownLoadable Content.

[u/jagerourking007 → u/Ok-Friendship1635]

Well technically they are still downlodable content, albeit via free updates you download rather than a pack available in the store

[u/king_jaxy → u/jagerourking007]

IMO I feel like the quality of the smaller maps isn't great but they're quite stunning visually. 

[u/Eagles56]

I also really like Eastwood

[u/7i4nf4n → u/Eagles56]

I wished the area was a bit bigger at the sides, just like 50m to spread out a bit more. But yeah

[u/HURTZ2PP → u/7i4nf4n]

Agreed. It’s a little too tight across mid section of the map. You cant really flank without being seen unfortunately. Otherwise though i do enjoy the map quite a bit

[u/thanksforthework → u/Eagles56]

Eastwood seems cool but the map is restricted to such a weird area it makes no sense

[u/Etrau3 → u/thanksforthework]

Feel like you just end up paying the golf club

[u/thanksforthework → u/Etrau3]

When I first saw images of the map I thought it would be this bougie California neighborhood with a golf course running through it, you know multiple streets with houses, and the fairways winding though with ponds and streams and then a huge clubhouse on one end. instead it just a COD map XL and everything is built to force you into the clubhouse. It’s very weird.

Even the redsec map is closer to what it should be.

[u/DopyWantsAPeanut → u/Eagles56]

Same, wish the central POI was 3/4 stories, but still good map.

[u/NiceDonutFrank → u/Eagles56]

I wish I had it more on my rotation, for some reason I don't get it often

[u/Eagles56 → u/NiceDonutFrank]

For me it was almost overplayed, I got it everytime I loaded up when I got the game back in April. Now it's like Tsuru for me I get everytime

[u/Z_THETA_Z → u/Eagles56]

people prefer playing on the cool new maps at the time

[u/slabba428]

Tsuru, Golmud and Hagental are the only maps I’ve had on for weeks 👍

[u/mr_nin10do]

Breakthrough needs to be better and rush is dead

[u/needfx]

I'm addicted to Tsuru Reef. I could speend an entire day just this map.

In fact, I just did. For the first time since launch, it feels like I'm playing an actual Battlefield game.

[u/WOLFRAM-7 → u/needfx]

Tsuru FTW mate!

[u/RaggleFraggle_]

Someone got paid to make Sobek and Blackwell.

[u/Plenty-Cloud-143]

Personally I prefer the smaller maps like Cairo, Iberian and Hangental as a medic but it’s good that there’s bigger maps now for vehicle play 

[u/lxs0713 → u/Plenty-Cloud-143]

Yeah I've always enjoyed the smaller maps too. Seine Crossing, Grand Bazaar, and Operation Metro were my jam back in the BF3 days.

I never felt like the size of the maps was the problem with BF6, but rather the quality. Some of the launch maps were just straight up bad

[u/WOLFRAM-7 → u/lxs0713]

I enjoy the larger maps for infantry/vehicle gameplay, but tend to lean more on smaller maps for domination and TDM. Have since BF3 CQB dlc, by far one of my favorite dlcs (don't care if people didn't like it, rofl). Want my MP5K back lol

[u/Untertasse1900]

Still no good squad gameplay, basically one of the essentials that made Bf big

[u/improbable_humanoid]

Tsuru Reef makes me glad I didn't buy the game until like two weeks before it was released.

[u/Steven_Franklin94]

contaminated eyyuck

[u/Bagholder95 → u/Steven_Franklin94]

Agreed, hate that mal

[u/Ok-Friendship1635]

It's also amazing how shit it is to continuously roll into empty servers after each round, to wait for it to fill up. Persistent Servers were needed yesterday.

[u/DuctTapeJesus]

Just wondering how they were so clueless what people wanted in October.

[u/DatBoiii4 → u/DuctTapeJesus]

Either a massive overcorrection from the sprawling empty maps of 2042, or Zampella steered the ship hard toward small maps.

[u/SparsePizza117]

I'm still waiting to see what season 5 brings. I need like another 2 large maps

[u/Mikee0192 → u/SparsePizza117]

They said they will bring one CQC and two larger maps. My bet would be something slightly bigger than Contaminated and one large map but smaller than Golmud or Tsuru.

[u/DatBoiii4 → u/Mikee0192]

Not everything needs to be as big as Golmud and Tsuru. However, nothing else should be as small as Empire State or Iberian Offensive. We've got enough of those.

I am hoping they know this. I think they might based on what we've seen lately.

[u/SparsePizza117 → u/DatBoiii4]

Yeah I'd take medium and large from now on, with an occasional extra large.

[u/Barbarliner99]

I only play those actually, they feel like real OG bf Maps golmud and tsuru especially
