What maps would you like to see remade in BF5? I wouldn’t mind seeing…

1. [Invasion of the Philippines](http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Invasion_of_the_Philippines) \< one of my favourites.
2. [Battle of Britain](http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Britain)
3. [Battle of the Bulge](http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_the_Bulge)
4. [Kharkov](http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Kharkov)
5. [Stalingrad](http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Stalingrad)
6. [Berlin](http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Berlin)
7. [El Alamein](http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/El_Alamein)
8. [Gazala](http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Gazala)
9. [Tobruk](http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Tobruk)

Hmm… now that I think about it I guess I would’ve just preferred a remade BF1942 lol.

Yep, I’d be fine if they just remade BF1942 too. 😉 I want all of the maps, changed or not, especially Wake Island, Guadalcanal, El Alamein. These can remain unchanged, I liked these the most.

Wake Island! It was THE FIRST Battlefield map ever. You can’t do a WWII Battlefield shooter without it. Heck, it was even in Battlefield 2142, even though the game didn’t take place in the Pacific.

There will be never in the history of gaming a better game than BF1942: Invasion of the Philippines. But I would sell my soul to see it played again on a 24/7 server. Use the original height maps, just update the looks.

I will hold East with a buddy sniper and a flak gun once again!

Yup! IOTP - exactly the same but just updates appearance would be perfect.

If Wake Island then do not mess it up like they did Strike at Karkand.

Smaller, not the same gameplay, a stain to the memory of Strike of Karkand in Battlefield 2

Do we really need Wake Island again?

I talked about this with a couple of my friends the other day and most of us agreed that Wake Island is not a great map. Some of you might not agree but for me Wake Island is an example of very average map design, there’s nothing special about that map. I’m sure there’s better maps than this that would deserve a remake.

the original 1942 map was a great map. The remakes have gotten worse because they were smaller relative to the weapons and optics you could use. They just need to make it a little bigger to account for whatever optics you are going to use.

That being said, the 1942 version of the map was a lot larger then the level being played at EA Play. So i dont know if they want to make a map that big right now. The ADHD kiddos get bored too easily on bigger maps.

Conquest Assault wasn’t designed for players being able to spawn on squad members and vehicles. In BF3 all it took was for one APC or any one person to get through the front line and you would potentially have entire squads or the entire team spawning behind the front and the whole frontline design of the mode broke down.

Not to say it didn’t happen in the older games but with players only being able to spawn on flags and squad leaders and SL only being able to spawn on flags, they lines were always readily apparent and there was much less chance of the ‘spawn anywhere whack a mole’ gameplay we have today.

If they do bring Conquest Assault maps back, I do hope they change the spawning rules for it and have SL spawning on.

“Whack a Mole Gameplay” I love it!!! I’m going to steal that and use it as my own. IT’s so much how the Conquest plays now.

And great pts about the differences between CQA back then and CQA now.

No I never played those games. The only experience I had with Wake Island is in BF3 on Xbox360. Maybe that’s the reason why I didn’t like it too much. I still had fun playing as an attack helicopter pilot but when you’re on the ground that map is probably a lot more interesting with 64 players.

I might enjoy it more in BFV just for that reason but I would prefer to play on maps that I never saw. There’s many maps in BF1942 and BF2 that a lot of players that started with BFBC never got the chance to experience and those are the maps that I would like DICE to remake.

Wake Island is played out. Didnt really enjoy its last iteration (was that BF4?) as much as the 1943 version, which for a simple game was actually really fun.

I’d love to see some of these other 1942 maps that I’ve never gotten to play. As I was just reading about in another thread, it does seem that the big vehicle maps are being phased out of the series which is a shame since thats what first drew me to the series and what differentiates it from the multitude of FPS games out there. So yes please give me a classic DLC pack with 4 huge vehicle maps from 1942
