I gotta say this has me wondering just how big or small they went with the maps

Thoughts?

In BF1942 El Alamein was pretty big - and it was fun with the vehicles and air battles

They’ve put out some pretty big maps over the years that were very fun for vehicle play. This has me really curious. Id love if they release a picture of a couple maps

One thing I will say about the larger maps, they have come a long way in terms of hitching rides to other places. I recall some huge BF1942 maps and BF2 maps, that if your plane went down or jeep got shot up, it was a long haul by foot to the nearest area with vehicles - running for 5 minutes only to die by the stuka - sigh

Haha, yeah that’s the worst. They seem to do pretty good balancing large size while maintaining places of intrest in proximity.

On the other end of the spectrum he also said some of the smallest. Anyone know the smallest BF map?

I think it has to do with game mode somewhat and server size (i.e., 64 vs 48 man), but metro is a small map for conquest considering only 3 capture points and a narrow map.

I am not sure on what the actual smallest map in the BF series would be in terms of land coverage.

Small map might be open field, between the trench’s, hand to hand combat.

Large map might be a sea battle.

It’s got my curiosity peaked!

Interesting. They did say there’s going to be emphasis on shorter engement ranges so the small maps make sense. But the massive maps they’re talking about must be very vehicle heavy. They maybe working on separatijg infantry and vehicle gameplay by having vehicle only maps. Which would be great id love.more infantry-focussed maps as I don’t often play in vehicles often.

Same here, I hope they give us more info after EA PLAY.

I would assume large maps will be designed around vehicle play. I switch between infantry and vehicle so I’m excited for both

It’s a split crowd, I’m glad they’re doing both.  
In the link it says it’s some of the biggest and the smallest, so I think you’re covered.

Aaa those were the good old days. Driving around the map in a jeep looking for stranded pilots to run over.

Probably The Block.

The Block is probably the smallest Battlefield map.

I hope the game has at least one tiny map like metro/locker garbage,so that all cod immigrants will play there 24/7,and the actual servers are free of them

Yes, because people don’t already play Metro, Locker, and Block 24/7.
