If you play on Xbox one you can still get your B3 fix. Since it’s been made backward compatible, there’s been a resurgence because of it. Plenty of people still playing.

Edit, missed the part where you said you play PS4 & pc. My bad.

To answer OP question it is getting very hard for me to find decent maps and decent games. I have looked for over a month and I can’t find any map rotation of the 2014 reboots, or any of the other DLCs on BF4.

The only DLC maps I see whatsoever on PS4 are the 24/7 ones like Metro. But I don’t see any rotations. They are there, just completely empty.

I think that is by design though on EAs part. Which makes perfect good business sense to push gamers toward BF1, except for one aspect. BF1 is GOD AWFUL. I’ve played BBC2, BF3, BF4, BFH, and now BF1 and BF1 is BY FAR the worst of the franchise. None of the others even come remotely close. U used to think BFH was bad, BF1 makes BFH look as though it was made through divine intervention. DAMN BF1 IS HORRIBLE.

You just hit the nail on its head! Its by design. I played all major BF games (1942, 2, 2142, BC1-2,3,4, 1) and BF1 feels like it was created to appeal more for the player who is not into BF, just so they can sell more. It plays just like SWBF, which was OK since it was a different game, but not OK for a BF game.

Bf4 is still pretty alive I guess it helps bf1 is a completely different game plus there’s hardly any other good games out there.

I downloaded the game and a fair amount of expansions, all for free. Yeah, I’m paying for EA Access, which I have mixed thoughts about doing. And if course shortcuts still need money.

But anyway, I downloaded the Naval Operations expansion and well, the few times me or my son tried to load up a game (Xbox One), they are always empty. If it’s an expansion no one plays, I’m considering uninstalling it to free space on the hard drive. I don’t have exterior memory for the Xbox yet.

I play PS4 in North America (East) and its not just Naval Strike. I have looked for weeks and can’t find any active map rotations in China Rising, Second Assault, Naval Strike, Dragon’s Teeth, or Final Stand.

I dont understand why some folks have such a problem finding dlc maps. Just last week i was able to find something going on in every dlc.

Well, I may ditch the Naval Operations and try the Night Operations instead.

I see more servers running the Large Scale Battles rotation than individual DLCs.

Try putting any/all the maps from the Large Scale Battles into your search filter and you should find quite a few different servers, depending on your location.

Your more likely to find DLC maps been played on weekends when the player count is a bit higher. I find during the week you get a lot of mixed vanilla rotations and Shanghai/Locker 24/7 servers (PS4 EU servers)

Idk if i can be any help but here are some PC servers.. Keep in mind this is taken earlier in the morning when these servers are a little less occupied.. Usually the servers you see here are full with 1-10 in queue… It helps to KEEP reloading the page and just keep favoring populated servers.

I’ve checked periodically for the last month or so, including peak times and weekends, and I have not seen a “rotation” of Second Assault, Dragon’s Teeth, China Rising, or Final Assault.

Of course I’ve seen a few, very few, of those 24/7 servers like “Metro 24/7”, but nothing that has any map DLC specific rotation.

Again if someone on here claims to have seen them, especially North America PS4, please post a screen shot.

Thanks.

Xbox one, US East & West. I dunno how to post any screenshots or vids from my phone.  
I can’t be the only one who doesn’t have any problems. Not possible.

All I can say is on my platform, PS4, there are no active DLC rotations on US East.

I don’t know about Xbox One because I don’t play it. If you insinuate that because they are on Xbox One they are on PS4 then you are talking about something you may not know.

I gotcha, all I can speak about is PS4 and I haven’t seen any in a while.

Okay, last night I looked and looked and I found a server with a few mixed DLCs. It had a few Dragon’s Teeth mixed with Final Stand. That’s not really what I was referring to but it is the closest thing I’ve seen to what I was talking about.
