What do you think of the maps? What are your views on the discussion surrounding the destruction feature? And are you also worried that snipers and campers might become a problem?
With the latest trailer for Battlefield 2042, three new maps were introduced. While the maps are largely well-received, there are concerns about snipers and campers.
In the gameplay trailer, not only were there insights into three new maps, but viewers could also see the wingsuit in action for the first time and observe some changes from the beta.
Which maps are we talking about? Overall, there are 7 brand new maps in Battlefield 2042. Three of them were showcased in detail in the latest trailer:
- Discarded
- Breakaway
- Renewal
They are spread across the world. Discarded takes you to a port in India, while Breakaway even transports you to Antarctica. Renewal leads you to the Sahara.
While the gameplay and the maps are praised by the players, there are also discussions around the destruction feature of Battlefield 2042. We at MeinMMO summarize the reactions from the trailer for you.

How much destruction should Battlefield 2042 have? DICE comments on the feature
What’s it about: A major discussion is the destruction on the respective maps. This topic is traditionally big in the Battlefield community, as the feature is an essential part of Battlefield’s DNA.
Here there are numerous differing opinions on the trailer. While some players celebrate the shown destruction, others believe it doesn’t go far enough:
- ballsdeepinmysleep writes: “Finally some damn good destruction!” (via reddit.com)
- Qzy says: “What destruction? A few crates? Give me a whole building, then we can talk.” (via reddit.com)
- coloringeye believes the destruction from the trailer “is miles better than what we saw in the beta” (via reddit.com)
Here we find two differing viewpoints in the community. One part believes that everything should be leveled as much as possible. Others think that it’s not always beneficial for the gameplay if every single building can be destroyed.
Some are still uncertain because, apart from a few scripted scenes, there haven’t been any great examples of destruction in Battlefield 2042 yet. Therefore, individual scenes from trailers are often analyzed regarding the feature.
However, there is now a statement from DICE regarding how much destruction players can expect in Battlefield 2042.
This is what the developers say: The possible destruction will vary depending on the map and the area. There are buildings and areas where you can cause more destruction than in other areas or on other maps.
Overall, the destruction feature in Battlefield 2042 is expected to be roughly at the level of its predecessor, namely Battlefield V. This information comes from community manager Kevin Johnson:
The maps are well received, but are they too open?
What do the players think of the new maps? A large part of the reactions is positive. Both on YouTube and in the Battlefield 2042 subreddit, there are numerous comments about the trailer.
There is much praise, some uncertainty, and a discussion that crystallizes:
- Visually, the maps impress
- Some players express concern that there might be too many open areas
- The biggest topic is the potential destruction of the environment
What is received particularly well? The majority of comments praise the appearance and themes of the maps, with many people describing individual or even all maps as “stunning”. (via reddit.com)
There is also praise on YouTube (via YouTube.com). The coloring of the maps is often praised, but many also find the size impressive.
However, some players criticize that there could be too many open and flat areas. For instance, bqaugh06 fears: “I imagine a lot of camping snipers just picking people off, which is not the gameplay I’m hoping for.”
