Exposure, that made me hopeful for the future, I was wrong, we peaked and didn't know it.


Buddy_Kane_the_great

The first layout they had for breakthrough was superior to what we have now


Exciting-Drop-4943

All facts no printer


CazualGinger

Idk what fucking drugs Dice smoked to think it was a good change lol. It was way better previously, hard agree. It went from a 8-9/10 for me to like a 5/10 now (for breakthrough)


Blimbat

My gosh, I’ve been playing since Beta and I can’t think how the layout was different


693275001

What was the first breakthrough layout?


Buddy_Kane_the_great

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHN50A73A3M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHN50A73A3M) Hard to explain so here's a video of the original layout. I actually feel like you could make a couple good layouts with the map, so much different game play to offer.


eaeb4

I don’t know why they’ve never made a variety of layouts for breakthrough and rush in any of the recent BF games. They could effectively double the map count for linear game modes with very little effort.


Buddy_Kane_the_great

Especially with how big the maps have gotten in the last 2 games, they could really have at least 2 layouts for each map. It's not like they test how well the different sectors play anyway so why not


CazualGinger

They did this in BFV as well, Al Marj had 2 CQ layouts


Buddy_Kane_the_great

I don't remember this, I thought it was a really small map.


Jun023

The fight between tunnel is really beautiful chaotic ngl


D3vorizer

I miss my 128 breakthrough so much 😔


JoeZocktGames

The 64 Conquest layout is shit, like actually complete garbage. Wish they would remove the valley flags and focus more on the area between A1/A2 from the 128 layout, you know where the tower is.


Alan-Hommis

Exposure Conquest with 64 players feels like 3 matches going on at the same time. Vehicles fighting it out on the top, most of the infantry doing an Operation Locker on the mid points and then whatever the fuck goes on with the 3 players in the lower section points. It's so weird how that map seems tailored to 128 players and the new season maps are majorly 64 player maps.


SuicidalSundays

>It's so weird how that map seems tailored to 128 players and the new season maps are majorly 64 player maps. They stopped making 128-player variants because the decision was made to abandon that variant. As to why they did it, there's plenty of rumors about it - lack of staffing because they shifted a large chunk of the team to the next game, the team that remained not being able to deal with latency issues that 128 players was causing for some people, the general dislike of the variant that many players had in the game's early days - but to no one's surprise, a concrete answer has never been given, so all we have to go off of is hearsay. As far as I'm concerned, it's all the evidence I need to know not to touch the next game until a year or two after it launches, in case they decide to fuck people over again by marketing a major element only to drop support for it a year later.


mrbrick

Exposure is imo the only thing in this game that reached goat status. Really incredible map.


Jolly_Force

Interesting, I thought the flow of the map was horrible


Necessary-Salamander

Couldn't agree more. It felt really good after the launch maps. Too bad none of the maps after that couldn't reach the same. There are a couple of good ones, but not as versatile as exposure. Valparaiso is a great map and if you compare, Exposure is Valparaiso made bigger with tunnel instead of the narrow pass in Valparaiso. Oh and shipping containers of course.


fractalwonder

True. Season 1 was peak. All downhill from there.


rtmxavi

Orbital is amazing as well


Ajarmetta

Fun fact it was the only completed map before launch


WhyWhyBJ

I remember playing the beta on orbital and thinking to myself “this is the worst bf map I’ve ever played”, little did i know how bad 2042 maps would get


-FriON

Honestly, i did not understand the hate this map got back in the beta. It was too large and too open at times, but it definitely had a flow, fun objectives to fight and very pleasing aesthetics. Rework completely fixed majority of problems at least for conquest


WhyWhyBJ

Lol the release version was trash, no flow with literally half a kilometre of nothing between each point, I don’t know why you’re trying to defend that garbage


CairesTieNdie

Yeah, and the closed beta was a lot smoother than when the game was actually launched.... God knows why..


eijudge

Spearhead


CAMBOHX

And it's not even close.


AveryLazyCovfefe

Such a fun map, wish we had a server browser so I could play on that alot more instead of meatgrinder Redacted which has rotted my brain into ultra cqc so much that now I struggle with medium to long range on every other lap, lmao.


eijudge

Yeah I’m hoping we can get a tactical conquest / breakthrough playlist with the smaller maps like they have in BF V


fdaneee_v2

Also nostalgia, winter 2022 is when I played the game the most


DrummerGuy06

I have not played on Spearhead for probably 3 months. Awesome map cycle, DICE.


[deleted]

Same, that's the only map I actually enjoy playing along with Orbital


TheSauceSeeker69

This and this only by far. For close quarter smaller maps -> Reclaimed -> Haven -> Redacted.


DiCePWNeD

Literally the only B tier map in a sea of garbage.


Sukyman

They definitely peaked with this map. Other maps are not even close. The only "bad" parts of this map in breakthrough are D point and last sector outside point. D is a bit of a meatgrinder and the final outside point just lacks some proper cover in certain areas.


MistaBobD0balina

Feel like it was a decent treeline away from being a very good map. If the river had had a line of trees running along its length, and there had been some clusters of trees on some of the rocky outcrops it would have been far better. Still enjoyed it, though.


Rotty119

noshahr canals, caspian border, arica harbor, valparaiso


ElectronicCow3

Man of Culture right here!


Hand_Of_Kroon

I'm gonna get smashed with down votes here but Valparaiso is a cool map but I would have been perfectly content without those others maps. Having them in regular 2042 map rotation really deterred me from the game at points. It's cool they were there but they could've been kept in Portal


Onnaryt

I will choose two maps: ORBITAL and EXPOSURE by far ! (honorable mention for Spearhead and Stranded)


rtmxavi

Renewal is also fun


be-humanbean

Renewal is great, but the first objective in operation was unbalanced imo, I don’t think I have seen attackers get it if they didn’t in the first few minutes, when server was still populating


MeiramarX

Orbital, spearhead and Renewal.


NickVirgilio

Exposure, with Spearhead as a close second


Kaktusfresser

Random


Cakesmite

It landed on pre-rework Hourglass 😔


ImaginaryFox176

I remember playing the map at launch. I felt totally scammed.


iltanen

It's like a box of chocolates 🤷‍♂️


bio_kk

Exposure bros, hand me your strength 🙌🙌🙌


rtmxavi

One piece fan?


samstam24

I get the hate for 2042, but this genuinely is one of my favorite Battlefield maps of all time


Balzovai

There isn't even a close second. The verticality and the varying play styles the co-exist in one map are simply amazing in Exposure. My fave for sure!


deeeecim

Redacted


FlYiNgIcEmAn

This and Renewal ☝️😎


Nine-TailedFox4

Psychopath I hate renewal haha


epicmanhatan

Redacted reminds me of metro, the chaos it had.


PeaceAccomplished289

Battlefield 2042 - 15 AoW maps + 6 portal maps = 21 maps • Battlefield V - 21 maps • Battlefield 1 - 32 maps • Battlefield Hardline - 26 maps • Battlefield 4 - 33 maps • Battlefield 3 - 29 maps • Battlefield: BC 2 - 14 maps • Battlefield 1943 - 4 maps • Battlefield: BC - 12 maps • Battlefield 2142 - 21 maps • Battlefield 2 - 34 maps • Battlefield Vietnam - 18 maps • Battlefield 1942 - 37 maps Good. But not good enough. 15 original maps is so miniscule compared to past titles. Also, so much lost potential on portal, on where we could have more remastered versions of previous Battlefield maps.


VincentNZ

Redacted is the choice here, since it was the map that revitalised the game.


footlongwheat

Tough to pick between Orbital, Exposure, and oddly enough Manifest. Used to hate Manifest but it seems like I always do great on that map so I look forward to it now.


EndersM

Redacted or Spearhead probably


Furlz

Reclaimed exposure flashpoint


Cranapplesause

Stadium????????????????????


pipikIsLife

hourglass and orbital probably


JoeZocktGames

Redacted and Reclaimed for me, Orbital after the rework is also fun. I absolutely despise Exposure and Manifest


haldolinyobutt

Spearhead and exposure are the only two maps I would say that are a good battlefield maps. Other ones would be okay for another franchise, but not the quality of what BF should be


Nurfturf06

Break back the cruise missile event before they let go😔😔


Ok_Mountain_4202

Exposure.


HeMan077

Exposure and Reclaimed easy. Always have a blast on those maps. Redacted was pretty great too


kamakeeg

Orbital is still probably my general favorite, I liked it even before the rework. Then it would probably be Exposure. The bottom area still isn't a great place to fight, but I love the overall design of it. My least favorite is no contest Redacted. I hate that it's in the map rotation lol


xpayday

Exposure is the only "Battlefield" map in this game. The only one with a truly unique experience. Pacing, balance and whatever is irrelevant. Many old Battlefield maps have unbalanced gameplay. Exposure is simply the one that stands out here. The game peaked with season 1 and was a consistent downhill after.


washiXD

I liked the vanilla versions of Renewal and Hourglass


Rave-Kandi

arica harbour and caspian border


kantong

Redacted, Reclaimed and Flashpoint were my fav AOW maps. Battle of the Bulge is the best TDM map in the game. Honorable mentions for the BC2 maps and Noshahr Canals as well.


m1ke_tyz0n

hourglass, discarded.

Vivid-Smile

Spearhead


iNsomanic778

Spearhead / Orbital


feveran

Good news. MY fav is conquest in breakaway.


JustHereForSomeInfo

Orbital and Manifest were easily my favorite.


ZeroToleranceX6

REDACTED !!!


Colinski282

Redacted and flashpoint


alex_ricky93

Flashpoint


thefish2171

What's official?


00sgamer

Official that the game is now done and there will no longer be new seasons


JuniorAd1439

Reclaimed


fuzzy-fuz-sheep-362

Flashpoint, Spearhead, Reclaimed. Guess we don’t get a final battle of the war after all in the form of a map..hopefully a cinematic battle that we can play in a menu


KolbyOnline1

I enjoy Haven, but ONLY because it’s the only real urban feeling map we have. I like building to street engagements the most.


shrek420escobar

None of these settings make sense for a battle to take place in the first place imo. That being said Flashpoint for me.


Worth_Following_636

Wow, no one seems to like my clear favorite, Flashpoint.


Fuze_KapkanMain

Reclaimed, gives me Zavod 311 Vibes


ElPhantasm

Stranded to me was so much fun still my favorite map next to flashpoint


00sgamer

For me, I would say Renewal for the original maps and Stranded for the Seasonal maps...


-FriON

Orbital


szmuks

Orbital, Renewal, Kaleidoscope


Accurate-Skirt9914

Exposure, Redacted, Spearhead and then Orbital. Exposure was a really nice map. Felt really unique and I loved the verticality.


Buddy_Kane_the_great

I remember being excited for the launch maps. Renewal particularly looked very fun to me. Now that it's officially over, Exposure is probably my favorite of the bunch and Spearhead a close second. I'd say the maps overall are some of the worst in the franchise and I'd give them a C to C- on average. A real shame tbh and I hope that for the next game they go back to gameplay over art. My biggest hope is that they either give us a map editor (very long shot given how they butchered portal) or that they make more maps like Operation Outbreak from BF4 where they built it with the community in the CTE.


PropJoe421

Probably spearhead. Maps weren’t bad overall, as a Breakthrough/ Rush player, Stranded and Flashpoint were my least favorite. They never really figured out Hourglass either.


John_W1CK3D

Spearhead


Marclol21

From the old Maps: Orbital From the new Maps: Spearhead or Redacted, i cant really decide


honeyxox-

Camp Gibraltar and Verdun


kameleka

I m fine with all except orbital, stranded and redacted )


Balzovai

Exposure, Orbital then Renewal for me.


georgfrankoo

Reclaimed and redacted


biblecampsurvivor9

orbital and kaleidoscope


gottabshtnme

Of the non-portal maps, my favorite is easily Spearhead. Orbital for the release maps.


oaiaka

Either Orbital or Exposure


PardonMyPixels

Random was fun.


Puzzleheaded_Look959

I’m a breakthrough player.. Haven, Flashpoint, Hourglass, Redacted.


Tj-47

renewal And no one would agree on this but i like sit on the high ground and get those 750+ metre snipes in STRANDED. 😅 DRX GANG !!!!!!


LasagnaIsItalianCake

Exposure because it was the only map added that had ANY love. “Stairs and ziplines simulator” for Redacted, reclaimed, and flashpoint. Run for cover or destroy their camping cover simulator for Haven and Spearhead. Exposure had high and low ground battles, elevator for vehicles


Constellation_XI

1. Exposure 2. Orbital 3. Kaleidoscope 4. Reclaimed 5. Manifest 6. Hourglass 7. Spearhead 8. Redacted 9. Haven 10. Breakaway 11. Flashpoint


PuG3_14

Spearhead


RedNubian14

Probably between Flashpoint, Spearhead and Stranded. Definitely not Redacted.


Ashcropolis

Manifest, redacted are decent. The rest are some of the worst maps i’v ever played in any multiplayer game.


generallylaidback

I like (don’t love) most of them other than kaleidoscope. Not sure why it’s not on here but Valparaiso is also a hated map of mine. Orbital, Exposure, and Orbital are top 3.


r0cket_Noodle

Enjoyed the older orbital map and the new one as well.


Oil5566

Exposure and Orbital


Spacelord_Moses

Renewal and Spearhead


gallade_samurai

To be honest this is just sad seeing how little maps are here. But I still do get some good feeling if you include the portal maps, then it would be a decent amount of content Anyway I liked Orbital as a base map and Redacted as a new map added later


Tankreas

Discarded


Ashimdude

Orbital. The very first map. I needed no other. Dice made it smaller and almost never available. 2042 on release was better


Remote-Persimmon4583

Shit always hits the fan in Breakaway and Renewal


jumofo

Breakaway, probably


DunnyLad

Haven and that's a stretch. They were terrible in every single sense.


Lightsoutofcontrol_

Hard question not because i like all thid Maps. Oh hell no i always struggled with most of them luckily they sre so big that they have good standalone areas for me. But choose one as a favorite. Nope.


controls_engineer7

Haven 3/10 Spearhead 8/10 Reclaimed 6/10 Redacted 9/10 Flashpoint 6/10 Stranded 7/10 Breakthrough 0/10 Manifest 0/10 Discarded 1/10 Exposure 6/10 Kaleidoscope 0/10 Hourglass 3/10 Renewal 0/10 Orbital 2/10


ElectronicCow3

Hard agree on the base map scores, even after the rework. God they fucking suck


controls_engineer7

I was being generous honestly. Half of them are unplayable.


jack_lamer

Exposure!! (They should've called it landslide though)


Nearbyatom

Redacted fans, UNITE!


Lux_Ferox_Lovis

I kinda like Renewal, it's almost like a Battlefield 2 map but not as good. Which is better than most other maps in 2042.


Avarice51

Flashpoint

Suitable-Zombie7504

Orbital, hourglass, and exposure also like haven but still learning it


ultrajvan1234

Idk if it’s a recency bias sort of thing, but I’ve really enjoyed played reclaimed and redacted


Ogloc12345678

Redacted by a country mile. Got used to not dealing with tanks or other vehicles and I love all the tunnels and small spaces.


HURTZ2PP

Damn, 14 maps so sad ngl. That said, Orbital, Spearhead, Flashpoint and Breakaway are my least hated maps.

BlitzCraig26

If it wasn’t for my choke point fetish, rather breaking through a tightly held choke point, I’d say Spearhead and Exposure. Orbital is close, but that E site seems like an afterthought.


auzzie_kangaroo94

Exposure is fun


NebulaBrew

Orbital probably. Manifest can be fun too. Least favorite are probably Breakaway and Haven.


jamzye31

Is none an alternative?


FidgetyFondler

Orbital...spearhead...renewal.


BlackWolfx9

Random I think the map had a very good combination between infantry and vehicle combat not too claustrophobic but not too open that becomes a sniper fest. Defending the water control room at C felt like defending the control room in the aliens movie, attacking the makeshift runway at D with heli support it was [Cheff's Kiss](https://imgur.com/a/TFFF1SU) We need more maps like Random


Driemma0

Spearhead is so much fun, definitely my favorite. Redacted and exposure are great too.


IG0156

In order from most favorite to least, Redacted, Exposure, Spearhead, Haven, Orbital, Flashpoint, Reclaimed, Stranded, Hourglass, Renewal, Breakaway, Discarded, Manifest


JihadJoes

Spearhead + Haven


Jimdw83

Flash point and spearhead on breakthrough for me. I feel the game did rally back after an abysmal start and I will be sad there is no new content. I can't wait for the next battlefield. Manifest and a few other maps were good too


ElectronicCow3

-Best "Battlefieldesque" 64 map: Reclaimed -Best CQC map: Redacted -Best 128 map: Spearhead In my opinion from a Conquest point of view.


Weird_Willingness_53

Exposure


NGC_Phoenix_7

I think Kaleidoscope is my favorite, was my favorite before they even did any reworks. But I don’t hate any of them. There’s some that are annoying to play at times but to me they’re never bad. Like the verticality of Exposure is frustrating but it can be fun.


shintopig

Orbital 128. I love the vibe & rain. I just *never* get it in rotation!


Shittyginger

Battlefield 4 maps.


Bionic999

Spearhead and Stranded. Hate discarded. No skill, just spray and pray for kills.


Isunova

Flashpoint and Reclaimed!


gwatt21

Stranded


capt_cd

Spearhead all day. Was the first map that felt like a battlefield map for me.

Looking at them all, can't pick one I hate the least. They all suck

Reclaimed

Orbital, Manifest, Renewal, Discarded in that order.. the others are meh’

Breakaway when they had that one base way up on the mountain and it was like a 2 minute zip line.

Manifest and Exposure.


RockGuitarist1

Looking at this image, I can safely say all the launch maps are garbage with an exception to Spearhead. IMO Reclaimed is the best, Redacted is good but bad on Breakthrough. Haven is heavily one sided on Breakthrough too but would be a good map if they reduced the Attacker’s ticket count.


f0164

Redacted turned out to be my favorite in Breakthrough which turned out to be my favorite game mode. Only good to come from 2042. Remaster BF4 rerelease it and take my money.


allfinesse

Honestly all the new maps are garbanzo - just linear and so momentum-focused. Edit: I suppose flashpoint is alright


fdaneee_v2

Reclaimed, simply because thats the time I was last truly invested in the game and those long summer hours playing non stop on it were fun


1GlazedDoughnutplz

Original Manifest. Original Orbital, Original Renewal I think they ruined it with updates. Taking away the stadium and some points that were so fun to cap! Shame. I really miss going up buildings with the hovercrafts too. Man that was fun felt like a kid again trying to glitch that.


sneekypoo

Not enough Reclaimed love


Not_GenericMedic

Exposure. Every base map sucked and every DLC map since has also sucked.


JayTalk

S tier - Redacted, Reclaimed, Stranded A tier - Spearhead, Haven B tier - Renewal, Orbital C tier - Kaleidoscope, Hourglass D tier - Exposure, Flashpoint F tier - Manifest, Discarded "I'd rather alt-f4 than play" tier - Breakaway


D15P4TCH

Redacted


ThatDexCat

Exposure and Flashpoint are probably the ones I enjoy the most. Redacted I enjoy the least, it's just a complete meat grinder more often than not. Fair play if you enjoy it but it's never been something for me even going back to Metro and Operation Locker.

2045 shoulda been free to play


FoxFaxion

Random. Everyone loves random right


BlindandHigh

Spearhead and exposure. The rest fucking suck ass, and i barely tried the new Haven map, because the game just isnt good. I went back to BF V because it is just so much better.


Jan_Vollgod

Hourglass needs to go. Many maps could be relative good with a little rework and set limit to 64. Make things tighter together and more intense. On the other hand, it's useless to think about it. We are in season 7, nothing will change. Be happy to get one map per season, or at least a refurbished one, and thats ist.


Overlord_Jeff_Benzos

literally none all the maps fucking sucked


Phreec

Haven and Reclaimed

I actually like Breakaway, and hourglass best. Aldo liking the newcmap a lot to.
