Battlefield 2042 Will See Fan Favorite Maps Return in New Mode Confirmed

Battlefield 2042 Wake Island

Revealed during the EA Play Future of First-Person Shooters stream, DICE has confirmed that players can expect some fan-favorite maps to return in Battlefield 2042!

This news comes from Ripple Effect Studios (formerly DICE LA) general manager, Christian Grass who briefly teased the new mode that the team is working on for Battlefield 2042.

So I can’t say that much about it, but what I can say is that one of the components in this experience that we are creating is that we are adding some of the fan favorite maps back into Battlefield 2042, but the entire experience you’ll have to wait a bit longer before we reveal

Rumors have floated before that this new mode is a “Battlefield Hub” of some sort, where previous franchise entries’ weapons, maps and more can be experienced by players. It seems to be a tall order for a mode, but it’s something players will be looking forward to for sure.

Does this mean we can expect Wake Island, Operation Metro, Operation Locker, and other maps to make an appearance? I sure hope so. While there are only seven confirmed maps available at launch, having fan-fave maps released throughout the game’s lifecyle should definitely help keep things fresh.

JFC. Operation motherfucking Locker. The dumbest map to ever plague the franchise with it’s presence. Half of why I end up getting bored as fuck by BF4 – which I don’t care much for to begin with. That fucking map is SO fucking overplayed and it’s what people CONSTANTLY vote for. It’s a nonsensical, random layout. A throw-together left from the bits and scraps.

Why the fuck people are diehards for that fucking map is beyond me.

How about we get some maps from Bad Company 2 into this game? Feels like a fucking no-brainer. Make’em larger. That’d be interesting for a crossover concept.

Shit. Do SOMETHING other than re-make the same re-made maps.

Arica Harbor! I cannot believe we haven’t seen that map since BC2. It’s easily one of the best maps that offer a little bit of everything.
