Battlefield 2042 has quite a few map design changes in the works, according to a DICE blog post. DICE identified five map issues it wants to improve, including Traversal, Intensity, Line of Sight, Paths, and Cover. On all of these design elements, DICE wants player feedback to help guide the direction of changes.
These are ambitious map design tweaks, and DICE states that it will not be able to implement these changes across all maps at the same time. While DICE has already incorporated the aforementioned map design qualities in new maps under development, it will start with updating old maps in order of need. DICE will start with Kaleidoscope on Conquest and Breakthrough modes, with the new Kaleidoscope map slated to arrive just in time for Season One.
DICE emphasized multiple times throughout the blogpost that it's looking for player feedback, so if you've got a lot of thoughts about how gameplay can be improved--now is your chance to shine.
Since launch, EA's Battlefield 2042 has undergone a turbulent release. Players noted the amount of bugs present and were overall dissatisfied with the experience, going so far as to launch a petition asking for a refund on the game. However, DICE has actively been working on implementing changes, with the latest update aimed to improve gameplay balance. Season One has also been delayed due to DICE needing to make «some big decisions» regarding Battlefield 2042's live-service support, and it will now likely come out in early Summer 2022.
