I want ‘better’ maps too. I enjoyed these No Mans Land maps in Battlefield 1, huge open areas with a few destroyed houses, many craters, destroyed vehicles.
BF1 had some really good maps with huge destroyed areas. The thing is with many World War 2 shooters, why always these village maps with small alleys, terrible. I want things like this:
What about the Normandy 1944 map, and Berlin 1945? I’m just saying, I hope we get more unique settings then always maps like D-Day/Normandy. And I think Kharkov is an good example of a great setting, a large battle, greater than for example Operation Market Garden, but more forgotten.
But there are still chances devs won’t do what we suggested. The main problem is that current maps need more than just opening the areas around them. The fights might still be located in narrow streets
What we need are missions made individualy for squads mode.
And there were still zero promises on adding more snow.
That’s why I’m not sure if I should keep this topic going or not. I’ve put a poll for other testers to decide
Just keep this topic going bud, have faith in urself…need for opening more area of maps is what i wanted since my day one getting my hands of this game
Rant if its necessary if they still don’t implement what we all suggest
Great that the devs take the time and even read the suggestions.
I understand that it is easier to use a destroyed village/city as a map to get fast pacing battles, but it’s boring with the fact that always, in most multiplayer shooters, you spawn, run towards the main area, often a village, die, respawn, repeat. With larger maps/areas you might have to chance that tactic as a player. For example, what if you have this huge open field which you could cross, but 9 out of 10 the chance is that you get shot ofcourse by the enemy from the other side.
Many battles on the Eastern Front, and some on the Western Front, had this kind of battles. The battle of Kursk (1943) was fought on this huge steppe area, with barely any villages in sight. Or the battles on the Leningrad / Narva sector, most of the time the battles were fought in open areas with some forests, rivers, bridges.
Take these German footage from fighting at Narva 1944 for example. Its bad quality, but here you can see that German forces fire at Soviet troops who are probably at least 500m-1km away. Totally diffrent then the battles inside small villages and alleys.
Good vid
I watched both German and Russian ww2 movies and some of them really show how battles on eastern front were held.
Eastern Europe is quite flat and battles in 1941 were ideal for long range combat
I think short range should be left to Berlin and Stalingrad, In those battles, some Soldiers even had anti-SMG body armour so close Range won’t be as painful because players will have to aim for headshots to kill with SMG’s
As far as I know only SU used body armour. So prepare yourselves for human tanks running with the best SMGs of that war
Other nation that could have body armour is germany as they had quite a lot of it during WW1.
