For the life of me I can’t figure out a way to call up a full map short of redeploying/dying. Is this not possible or am I just being dumb?

Preface: I play on a ps3 . . . But try holding the start button to bring up the scoreboard and then r1 . . . Hope this helps!

I can’t seem to find any map around the Scoreboard or from clicking the touchpad with the PS4. There are no extra tabs that mention “Map” or anything similar on the Scoreboard screen, nor in the touchpad screen or the Options button screen. In the touchpad screen, the only thing I see is an ad for the Battlelog app using Battlescreen. The tabs available in the touchpad screen are Battlelog, Friends, Missions, Soldier, Reports and Leaderboards. I even tried creating a mission to see if that opened anything up, but nope. I don’t have any other versions of the game to compare the map to, just the PS4.

So I tried the Battlelog app on my Android phone. I logged into my origin account and all my stats are there and that’s all good but I still cannot find any mention of a map. The ad tells me to enter a 4 digit code… that doesn’t appear anywhere. I don’t know if I’m missing something with this step, but I can’t figure anything out with it. I did some research and it’s supposed to show “View Battlescreen” or something similar in the blue bar along the bottom of the app, but it never tells me anything other than the server I’m playing on.

I’m not playing as commander, since I’m not high enough ranked because I have no intel… there’s not even a compass on the HUD (“Enemy LAV spotted east of your position.” “Don’t mind me while I use the stars to find the threat.”). I just want to be able to see the map as a squad leader or a grunt. I usually play on Hardcore and thought this may be a factor, but even in a normal match I can’t find a single mention of the map aside from the blatantly obvious minimap on the HUD. What is wrong here; is it me or the game? Can someone please give us a step-by-step way to load the damn map on PS4?
