I’m roughly 15 hours in now so I feel I have a reasonable grasp of all the maps
I am pure infantry, although over the next two years I’ll probably dabble a 1000 kills or so in a tank but I doubt I’ll engage more than thst
Arass Clear favourite
Rotterdam
Aerodrome
Norvik
Fjell sp?
Hamada
Twisted steel
Devastation - absolute worst it’s just a spam fest joke of a map and really dishonours conquest
Norvik to twisted steel.. can switch places dependant on the day,
As Sinai was beta map for BF1 and remained my favourite map I think Dice know how to hit map BF betamap buttons lol
Arras and Twisted Steel are the best two IMHO
Followed by Devastation, Rotterdam ,Aerodrome, Fjell 652, Narvik and last is Hamada -big isn’t always better and it is far too big -if the made it the same size as Suez as in BF1 it would be better and remove conquest assault . I mainly play conquest . I don’t know what you mean by spam fest for Devastation- the battles are intense that’s how its meant to be plus plenty of spaces to defend.
I’m sure TS will grow on me in time, however Argonne forest failed to grow on me in two years! I’ll keep trying but. It’s the kill and get instakilla killed cycle that frustrated me.. but that’s probably down to my own ability rather than the map. So I need to play it more
I like them all, except the Fjell because of the bomb fest of bombers…
i cant find any reason why Dice add planes to this map?
make a Fell map air superiority only and leave other version of infantry only.
This map is like a bonus round to planes to farm kills…
The bombers are indestructible as they are right now, more than I can count i keep shooting them with the AA marshmallow shooter and it keeps coming straight ahead to bomb me…
The AA dont even scare them…
I spend 90% of my time in planes so I mostly play those maps that have planes.
Arras - by far the best
Hamada
Twisted steel
Fjell
Narvik
If I had to rate them as an infantry:
Devastation, really like it, don’t know why
Arras
Hamada
Narvik
Rotterdam
Twisted steel
Aerodrome
Fjell - awful map but probably because everyone just runs in circles. Could be awesome map if people had brain.
Rotterdam - Just an excellent city map with a nice variety of flags and evenly-spread fighting. Right up there with Amiens IMO. Arras - Reminds me a lot of St. Quentin Scar, except I think it’s even better. I do wish less fighting took place in the center, but overall it’s a really good combined arms map. Devastation - Fun-as-hell “destroyed city” map. The cathedral can sometimes drag down the experience, but overall it’s very good. Fjell - A solid infantry map marred only by the perplexing inclusion of planes. I don’t understand the hate it gets. There are plenty paths/flanks to utilize and the fighting never seems to get stuck in one particular area. Twisted Steel - Merely OK. The swamps don’t provide enough cover, and there’s too much emphasis on the bridge which quickly kills off the rest of the map. Not a fan. Narvik - Probably the worst flow of any of the Conquest maps. Players seem to be everywhere all the time, and the shipwreck feels strangely out of place to the point of being distracting. Also, why are there planes? Not a good map at all. Hamada - Simply too large for its own good. The flags are too far apart, there aren’t enough vehicles, and Medics just don’t “work” at all. Aerodrome - Tied with Hamada for the worst map in the game. The hangar always turns into a round-long meatgrinder that singlehandedly kills off the rest of the flags. I can’t say one good thing about it.
If this thread proves anything it proves there isn’t a bad map in the game. One guy hates devastation others love it etc Maps are down to individual taste, individual taste doesn’t make something bad it purely means that person doesn’t like it.
There are no bad maps unless every player agrees that one map is bad.
My favourite map has to be Arras. Just a nice mix of play styles and options on that one. The least favourite? Probably Aerodrome. Too many cheap deaths and the hangars become a bit of a mess. Perhaps when the tanks get buffed a little (they have to, don’t they?), Aerodrome might become a more balanced experience.
There are only like 4 maps which aren’t utter trash:
Rotterdam(clear favourite)
Arras
Twisted Steel
Aerodrome
The other ones are trash for several reasons:
Devastation (Everything on this map revolves around the cathedral in the middle, therefore giant campfest)
Hamada (way too big with little to no cover so the sniper scrubs can also have a map in Bfv for their own)
Fjell/Narvik (both of them are equally garbage simply because no cover and zergrushing/sniper heaven)
