so I really don’t understand who thought this was a good idea for a map flat with no cover at all, every flag looks the same apart from the train flag, just a brown mess for camping vehicles, and planes to dominate, with a side order of snipers everywhete it truly is the boring map Ive ever played, who every thought this was a good concept for a map, needs to step away from game design now if it was a tank superiority map…I can see how it would be decent, but it just doesn’t work, flow at all in conquest EDIT: so after reading some of posts I decided to replay this map and adjust, used nothing but the trenches and played more of a AA role with my lmg against planes, was actually pretty fun. also used the bipod a lot more on the sides of trenches to mow down enemies in no man’s land map actually feels bit like verdun (if you’ve played that game) and more ww1 in style in short perhaps I was to quick to criticise, or perhaps the first 2 game’s I had on this map were just awful, so I’ll reserve judgement on this map ---

Yeah, out of all maps this one i think is definately the worst to play on, feels like they felt the need to cater the camping snipers some more to me… I do really like Albion and Wolga tho’ ---

volga river and albion are great, I don’t mind any of them, glacia is a waste of hard drive space ---

I like it, it’s the real trench warfare, separated only by a barren land. you want to take a flag you have to run out in the open, it’s a tough map but i think it’s more a vehicle focused map rather than an infantry one ---

It is very open but the trench/river network helps you travel round the map. It may be vehicle/sniper friendly but had a couple of good rounds on it last night. Only bad thing is when the enemy behemoth is parked at C and there’s no other flags to take - that thingvhas a huge arc off fire, so stay well clear ---

It’s like they took everything wrong with Golmud in BF4 then turned it up to eleven then took away all the tanks and 90% of the buildings. ---

I can understand that in all maps Dice have tried to base them on real places and encounters. However, if that place turns out like this map, they should change it around a bit and add something to make it more interesting. The map is dire, and the only reason people are playing it is to get those plane kills with an LMG, which is another stupid decision to include ---

its trench warfare. adapt instead of complaining u cant do good on it, special boi. just mentioning “flow” and “conquest” in the same sentence is nonsense. every CQ match is a giant circle jerk. if its boring you are doing it wrong. ---

Playing Battlefield for years now, BF2, Bad Company, Vietnam, BF3, BF4, BF1 … this is BY FAR the worst map ever made by DICE. Was it DICE?!? can´t believe that … it´s just plain awfull. Open, no cover, tons of vehicles (specially planes), tons of snipers, completely unplayable. I´d rather have a 5 map expansion than 6 … this way i have the trouble of skipping this one ALL THE TIME! ---

I thought in WW1 no man’s lands were barren, devoid of cover, open? Just have everyone one on the team go over the top and bayonet charge across. ---

I just played my first match on Galicia CQL and I thought it was awesome. Ended up mvp on the winning team and dropped almost 30 kills as Medic. People claiming there’s “no cover” are not only over-exaggerating, but they’re probably the same people who run wildly out into the open on other maps, gets sniped, and then complain snipers are too OP. There’s plenty of cover. Hell, I even walked all the way from A to E on the bottom of the map and didn’t get shot at once. It’s just an unforgiving map to those that think they can just run out in the open with no immediate threat. The direct middle of the map is the only place you have to worry about not having cover (aside from a windmill). I think the map is great. It’s finally a map in this game that puts emphasis on map awareness and player movement instead of turning sharp corners and being melted by smgs at 90% of objectives. ---

Yeah if you can aim your GuN it’s amusing for a while watching your kd fly. But yeah far too open, golmund railway should have been a great template for a vehicle centric map that gives infi some good options. Honestly not a massive fan of the dlc maps so far, vanilla maps play a lot better even the “poorer” ones. ---
