With the Battlefield V beta only recently ending, it didn't take long for players to start asking how large the maps will be in this installment of the franchise. An image posted on Twitter by DICE shows the Breakthrough for Hamada map. Giving a rough idea of not only it's overall layout, but scale, thanks to the inserted image showing the player's perspective. Measuring in at 1500 m from the attacker's to the defender's main headquarters, it is certainly larger than the maps in the beta. Furthermore, David Sirland has stated that the majority of the map shown will be available in the game's Conquest mode. While the map is not final, it has been stated that any changes at this point will likely be minor.
 
So players are going to get maps that are fairly large. Hopefully large enough to please the majority of players.

    But the problem still exists with low vehicle count ( probably due to consolitis feature ) ..therefore a majority of players end up having to run on foot anyways....just like in BF1

    Except that isn't large at all. DICE is in full panic and damage control mode right now, trying to unscrew the intentionally decision they made with the game to go woke and then insult possible consumers when they said no. Pre-order numbers are a disaster, and the game won't be changing much at all before it releasing. DICE just don't work that quickly. The maps in the beta were total garbage and the gameplay followed with it not playing anything like a battlefield rather a mix of call of duty meets building a wall fortnite, while you run over dead enemies to obtain stuff.

    I'm praying for a miracle here. As BF is about all I have ever really played. Some Wow for a few years Some WarRock but this is starting to look dismal.
    I hope they manage to pull something off like not walking for for five minutes to get anywhere and yet @ least a couple of expansive maps with plenty
    of axle grease an Vulture whine. The sound seems to have fared not much better. Heres to Hoping for them to have a Hail Mary and some kind of saving
    grace :/

    The best thing that could happen is DICE fails hard and then actually start listening to their consumers instead of insulting them and telling them what they should want. I've never seen a more hostile arrogant game developer in my life. Seriously, they hate their consumers and they aren't shy about saying it. I'm passing on the game. It's an easy choice. World War 3 looks like a better Battlefield franchise than Battlefield any longer.

    ( probably due to consolitis feature )


    Ha, ha, I wonder if that is the reason for the server issue as well. What's with that? They just want more control over the servers? and the maps... BF was known for large maps, what are they doing 
     
    Can you imagine if they just came out with a basic skinned over game based on all the same old mechanics and server config. MAYBE, add a little non-game changing tech and graphics to the mix. It would sell like bananas!

    My gaming buddies and I are not going to enable EA’s behavior. We have bid farewell to the Battlefield franchise for good!
