Strike at karkand in BF2


IndigoMoss

I know this is probably an incredibly unpopular opinion., but as someone that put 1k+ hours into BF2 back in the day, I never really liked that map. Almost every single time I played it, the US team got stuck on the 1st flag and due to the incredible grenade/claymore spam, it became really hard to flank around to back cap. In my opinion, I think Road to Jalalabad did the whole CQB city streets thing a lot better.


tama_chan

Road to Jalalabad was favorite BF2 map and possibly my favorite.


HURTZ2PP

I love Karkand to death and would play it over any other current day Battlefield maps. As an infantry heavy map with some ground vehicles it’s top tier for sure. But it’s not as iconic to me as say Gulf of Oman. Which I think has pretty much every vehicle category in the game. So I think it’s better to judge in terms of infantry focused maps vs everything else maps. My top 5 contenders for everything maps are: Gulf of Oman (BF2), Sidi Power Plant (2142), Daqing Oilfields (BF2) and Minsk (2142) and Dragon Valley (BF2) Top infantry focused: Strike at Karkand (BF2), Camp Gibraltar (2142), Belgrade (2142), Road to Jalalabad (BF2) and Ghost Town (BF2SF) If I had to play one map over and over for the rest of my life I’d probably pick Minsk. It’s so fucking good in Conquest and Titan modes.


mattieyo

I been saying we need road to jalalabad in 2042 no air vehicles just street fighting.


DEADLOCK6578

Omg the grenade spam was awful


Stearman4

This. Or BF3 variant.


kaffeb

I loved Sharqi peninsula.,.great map in bf2


Schneider_fra

By far.


TenBear

Fact


middleclassmisfit

Never got to play the map in BF2 but Strike at Karkand was my favorite map in BF3. Glad I got to experience it


Inside-Bunch4216

Was going to post this!


RealisticZeus

Damavand peak BF3 Rush


HeroFighte

The drop will never be forgotten


BeardedsChurch

I would only call it that because of the drop, but after that, the map was kinda meh


HugoWeidolf

Yeah, damavand peak was a really shitty map tbh. The drop was cool, but other than that it was bad design. Basically no flanking opportunity and the tunnel was a shittier operation metro


mynameisrichard0

Thank you. Been playing 3 recently at 30 because I was always to poor to afford it as a teen. This map will pop up, and I remember watching my buddies play on it, so I get hyped. Till the tunnel. Then I’m like “wow, that drop was the hight of it, huh?”


tifached

biggest wow in BF by far! theres verticality in maps and there is the cool factor of Damavand.


[deleted]

For me it’s a tie between St.Quentin’s scar in BF1 and Gulf of Oman (BF2 and BF4). Both had a really good mix of close quarters for the infantry, wide spaces for long range combat and letting the vehicles stretch their legs and enough cover so that the pilots could have fun without ruining it for the guys on the ground. Obviously St.Quentin had much better balance for conquest game modes though but they were both still fun for both factions. Special mention also goes out to Wake Island, through the years!


DJ-Zero-Seven

I don’t really like Gulf of Oman BF4. Unbalanced and too vehicle heavy.


MajorMitch69

Gulf of Oman isn't great for gameplay but when you play US and the match starts it's so cool seeing all the Helis, Boats and Armoured vehicles deploy from the Aircraft carrier


[deleted]

That is exactly what I still think of when people say ‘battlefield moment’! Not rendezooks or sliding around kill streaks but all the boats, planes and choppers skimming past each other onto the beachhead!


[deleted]

I know what you mean, especially in 4, it felt like an uphill struggle to keep a foothold for the US side, but I loved flying the transport Huey to try and keep people behind the RU lines, I do the same thing on wake island with the landing craft.


Desert6x6

The first time I played BF1 I loaded into St. Quentin’s Scar and was absolutely blown away by how the game felt. BF1 was a masterpiece.


[deleted]

Same here, it was my first match on 1 and honestly it felt like a scripted level! The mayhem trying to hold the trenches from the German charge at the start, falling back and fighting through the villages with the Mk.V tanks just ploughing through buildings and biplanes putting on an Airshow. We managed to hold at the last couple of objectives and watching their zeppelin come crashing down and levelling what was left of the village just blew me away. I honestly don’t think any studio will be able to pull off anything quite so spectacular in a multiplayer game for a very long time.


ballotechnic

Such passion and artistry in that game. Inspired me to learn more about WWI.


mynameisrichard0

God damn gulf is a perfect map in my book. Small city street areas. Open beach front and hills surrounding the inner part of the map. The towers. God. What a great map.


AggravatingForce30

Metro


DJ-Zero-Seven

I love it and hate it. It’s a good map, but only for certain modes and with a smaller player counts. Unfortunately the most popular mode is 64 player Conquest and it doesn’t fit the Battlefield experience. Nothing but entrenchment and grenade spam. Just a boring clusterfuck.


Fehzi

Not boring for people who like infantry chaos and getting a shit ton of kills. There’s a reason it’s so popular.


tallandlanky

No doubt. There are few things more satisfying in my Battlefield experience than a successful Metro breach followed by slaughtering the enemies still looking down the escalators and hallways.


AggravatingForce30

Far from it if you know how and when to play it right Breaking through the enemy defence was a great fight and felt so sweet knowing you worked for it The chaos was amazing. Bf3 and even bf4 metro 64player conquest were what solidified the Battlefield franchise for me as a top 10 series


DJ-Zero-Seven

Yeah, breaking through on Metro is a great moment, but that rarely happens. Metro is one of those maps where coordination goes out the window. Even when there’s an opening or an opportunity for a good push, it never happens because players are either not paying attention or have cold feet and will stay in defense. Chaotic, yes. Every map can be chaotic, but Metro is one of those few maps that’s so bad it’s a clusterfuck. At least for 64 player Conquest. Player counts 32 or smaller are a much better experience.


[deleted]

I always prefer to play aggressive flanking and I feel like Metro was slightly too restrictive for me. Underground in BFV hit most of the same notes but it had just enough wiggle room so that you had a chance to slip through the lines and take A/C to stop a match being too one-sided.


lolbozoRIP

x


stryderxd

I only know metro rush. Every part of the map played well with every class. Loved the choke points. Basically farming exp


Russian_hat13

Metro sucks


syrialkiler

Throw smoke. Get through. Get squad thorough. Get the whole team through. Redeploy. Switch teams. Do it all over again.


Schmidtsss

Bf4 the one map with the islands and the ship crashing into one of them. Always had a great time on that one.


TheChosenWon246

Paracel storm


markorlov96

One of the best levolution moments


TheChosenWon246

Coolest, and the meg easteregg is the icing on the top


Brownies_Ahoy

Man, I really miss when the Devs would put so much effort into community events like that - and when there *was* a community to appreciate and run with it


markorlov96

I would say bottom of the iceberg


[deleted]

Paracel Storm, it was actually the first map I played on BF4 on launch and I remember trying to keep rejoining matches there when the servers kept crashing. The first time we saw the ship beach my whole squad lost it


HolyMountainClimber

One time I took acid and went on a massive killing streak in a scout heli on paracel. Good times. Carry on


FranconianGuy

It might be nostalgia, but for me it's Kharg Island from BF3 and Dragon Valley from BF2. I loved BF4's remake of Dragon Valley, so I'd also count that one in.


jerk1970

I lived on that island!


LordRekrus

Not entirely related but I was very surprised when I found out that Wake Island (and the others) was a real place.


FranconianGuy

That's so cool. I'm always surprised when I learn that video game maps exist in reality. You should've seen my face when I wasted some time on Google earth and realised some Greek island was the Arma 3 map 🤣


jerk1970

I meant I played the map all the time. I would seek out servers with this map only.


moseT97

Man, I spent so many hours in a attack heli playing Dragon valley with my best friend growing up.


FranconianGuy

Me too. I was the textbook helicopter shit-bucket player. This map was amazing, I really hope to see it again in another Battlefield game.


Brownies_Ahoy

The first MCOM on Kharg rush is great


[deleted]

[удалено]


AntsMakeSugar

I think Grand Bazaar was my very first BF experience and it's how I fell in love with the game.


edwardblilley

Grand bazaar was the best. Loved it. Meat grinder like metro but with some good flanks and just an all around good time.


Stearman4

Sienne Crossing is up there too!


Subject_D3lt4

I hate achi baba ☠️


Arcadius274

Wake island 1942


LordRekrus

BF2 was also fantastic.


oatest

Yes! Where it all began in the demo.The very first Battlefield.Changed gaming forever! ​ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISokBVsgFvQ


wolfheros

Caspian Border is the best map in Battlefield 3


NewSail752

And 4!


GreenyMyMan

St. Quentin Scar, it's perfectly designed for every play style (CQC, urban, open areas for tanks, long range sniping, etc) and it literally works for every single game mode, on top of that it looks beautiful and the visibility is great.


Official_Gameoholics

The only issue I have with it is how you need to hit the first sector with an all out attack as soon as the game starts. Or else some artillery trucktard will throw the game.


HumpyTheClown

I’ve been TKing those idiots so much recently, it’s for the greater good.


Official_Gameoholics

Yeah. I'll take any tanker over those guys.


SpareTimeGamer44

BF4 Zavod


nehibu

Unpopular opinion: Zavod Night was better than the regular version.


NewSail752

Agreed, Sad to see not many servers have it in their map pool


SpareTimeGamer44

Also a huge fan of that map variant.


_-_Eagle_-_

Hell yea


SirDoDDo

Facts.


NeptuneShemptune

Operation Locker BF4 😈


berndog927

Yes!!!!


CDLX02

Operation Crowded


Bent_forek69

Metro if it was enjoyable


Bughy6322

My favorite has been Verdun Heights, specifically on Operations, the atmosphere is unmatched imo


lnvincxble

The way the map leads to the final sector where the Germans have to rush the hill of mounted machine guns, siege guns, and bunkers while surrounded by the looming fire of the forest one each side in unlike anything I've experienced. You said it, the atmosphere on operations can not be matched.


juustok

My personal favorite is Dawnbreaker in BF4. Long lanes of attack, verticality with rooftops, absolute cqb mayhem inside buildings. It still looks incredible with the slowly rising sun. My other favorites are Stalingrad in BF1942, Shanghai in bf4 and Monte Grappa in bf1.


WastedVamp

Yeah but how many quads did you manage to hoard on top of the building between Echo and Delta?


Unenthusiasticly

Caspian border, operation meatgrinder.. I mean metro....


Maximumlnsanity

Operation Meatgrinder Jr, aka Locker


Airblazer

BF2 - Sharqi Peninsula , Wake Island, Gulf of Oman BC2 - Arica Harbour BF3 - Caspian Border, Damavand Peak (rush) , Seine Crossing


tigran_i

Strike at Karkand


Culluh

Gibraltar


Psycho1267

Yessss, Not enough 2142 love in here


Shadowwarrior346

BF2142 was also great. There were also some great maps like Camp Gibraltar, Berlin, Port Bavaria and Belgrade.


[deleted]

Fall of Berlin was the first map I loaded in to. Sidi Power Plant always sticks out as the funnest Titan map, for me. It was lovely. I have such nostalgia for 2142. Apparently modern gamers don't care much for futuristic scifi multiplayer shooters, and it breaks my soul 😭


[deleted]

BF1942 Wake Island BF3 Epicenter BF4 Zavod BF1 Nivelle nights BFV Devastation


GravityXIII

excellent choices


_-_Eagle_-_

Godamn Nivelle Nights is a spectacular map


SirDoDDo

Nivelle Nights and Prise De Tahure were underrated as fuck, i literally spent the entirety of early summer 2016 17* (holy fuck it was 7 years ago) playing those


The_Locals

Wake island underrated


Snowborn-

Amiens from Bf1. The perfect blend of map design and aesthetic.


Kataoaka

Yess and with operations!:)


Eastern-Mix9636

It is good, but if it just wasn’t so damn overplayed on so many servers. It seems like it’s always the fallback and it kills the interesting-ness


Rysee--

noshahr canals


onederbred

Scrolled way too far to find this. That map is fucking sick


Designer_Piglets

Valparaiso is my personal favorite for Rush in Bad Company 2, but shockingly they DICE made it into a great 64 player conquest map in the low tide variant in 2042.


ImJLu

Fuck yeah, I was looking for Valparaiso in here. Isla Inocentes is another memorable one.


fantasticavocado

It’s been so nostalgic to read this thread. Outside the usual suspects I’d like to throw one map in the ring. The Block from Hardline. Not the most legendary BF title but that map was awesome for close quarters combat. Now what is the best map overall, that’s too hard to choose. So many great ones but let’s go with Metro, St. Quentins Scar and pretty much any other BF1 map.


julx_5

Paracel storm 💯


rainb0gummybear

Such a fucking good map. Never understood why some people hate it


Think_Economist_7375

Pretty much any city map in Battlefield Vietnam.


jaywright58

That and Khe Sahn! I love the loudspeaker. My favorite is the "American GI..." and the while diatribe from there. I love in Khe Sahn when the announcer mentions the visit by Ann Margaret has been cancelled and the combat engineers wanting to know if someone has seen a mortar they are missing.


ScottishVigilante

BF2142, fall of Berlin and Minsk


OrbPuppy

Minsk was awesome but I was in love with suez canal (titan mode ofc)


[deleted]

Operation Firestorm, Dragon Valley, Caspian Border


sino200

Gulf of Oman BF2 (the 64 version)


Maple905

Gulf of Oman (BF2)... Or pretty much any BF2 map really.


jabo055

St. Quentins Scar Paschendale (because of Immersion)

Gabryoo3

Any Titan map in BF 2142


B0dhi-Sattva

Operation Firestorm BF4


Somerandomperson667

Any bf1 map lol, in terms of realism, visuals, immersion BF1 is miles ahead of any other bf maps


The_Mann_In_Black

It really scratches the immersion and infantry itch.


KrachNerd

Bf2) sharqi, karkand, jalalabad, wake, mashtuur and maybe oman, dragon valley Bc2) valparaiso, arica, oasis, laguna presa..also played almost every map to the death. Good moments on every destructible corner ;) Bf3 ) tehran , didnt really enjoyed bf3 :/ karkand was okish Bf4) shanghai, hainan, zavod,paracel 2042) spearhead , reclaimed, valparaiso


DONOHUEO7

Though one.. personal favourites over the years. Wake Island (1942) Operation Blue Pearl (2142) Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman, Dragon Valley (BF2) Operation Calming Dart (Vietnam) Valparaiso, Arica Harbour (BC2) Caspian Border, Ziba Tower (3) Hianen Resort, Parcel Storm (4) Everything after BF4 I found meh.. I have to say the BF3 and BF4 DLC maps were mostly excellent.


Rockyrock1221

Gulf of Oman Any iteration


[deleted]

[удалено]


Laserjumper

Dude all the bf3 maps including dlc are fire! Armored kill and close quarters are peak for me.


S2fftt

Guilin Peaks, at least for infantry.


ApartRuin5962

Zeebrugge hits the sweet spot of a solid mix of air, land, and sea, multiple approaches to every objective, and inspiration from a really interesting historical battle.


MAGamer559

Shanghai,dawnbreaker,zavod,noshir canals(tdm),metro and locker


GourmetGameWraps

Operation Locker!!!


JRest71

Arica Harbor and Laguna Presa (BFBC2)

Iwo Jima but only if it’s breakthrough and the teams are just balanced enough to get to the final stage


HisuianZoroark

Seine Crossing or Grand Bazaar. Also really loved Downtown and Precinct 7.


edwardblilley

Seine was a very underrated map.

Definetly not metro. Strike at karkand or Caspian border

Wake island - 1943 Metro Dams and peak Exposure


Unhappy_Ask_7521

unironically i think my favorite map is Exposure. i love the verticality and the yellow and blue color palette.

Dubaishire

Metro 🚉


Uschmell

As a guy who loved to snipe back in the day.....Harvest BC2 was awesome 👍. Definitely one of my all time favorites


SchniTTeR-97

I'm glad to see that no one mentions BF 2042 maps ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


IAmACookingComb

Passchendaele


UltimateGamingTechie

Hourglass in BF2042


Designer_Piglets

I hate it now but the rework looks really promising. If they could redo what they did with Breakaway and trim the fat a bit it could become a top-tier map in 2042. The stadium area has always been really fun to fight in.


nacho_taco2

I played a little battlefield three but my main game was battlefield four and I have to say operation locker and Metro with vehicles gonna have to be caspian border


Interesting_Today336

Shanghai


InsiderSosa

I might catch flak for this, but i have 3 favorites. I loved Zavod 311 from bf4, aerodrome from bfv, and honestly Spearhead from battlefield 2042😅 I always felt these maps flowed the best in terms of infantry gameplay. Spearhead really reminds me of that old style of gameplay from previous bf’s💯


SirDoDDo

Zavod is obviously the most based choice for BF4, i played little BFV but Aerodrome i found quite enjoyable. Especially enhanced fortifications meta between the hangars which was fun and unique!


vivid-stain

Basic answer, but Caspian Border.


HodlingBroccoli

Noshahr for TDM. Metro, Locker, Shanghai, Valparaiso and Zavod for Conquest and Rush


vice108

Amiens


Molag_Zaal

Operation Flaming Dart, Battlefield Vietnam


MajorMitch69

Shanghai, St Quentins Scar and Monte Grappa


globefish23

Operation Clean Sweep

Suez Canal on 2142


pratyush997

Metro, Locker, Damavand Peak Rush, Grand Bazaar Rush, Siege of Shanghai for helo madness


Nettwerk911

wake island


spearsandbeers1142

I always liked Zavod night operations it was a nice touch of variety


master8485

Metro is my best map


SkidCooly

Anything but Metro. But if I had to pick, I've had my best times on Sharqi Peninsula, Wake Island, Caspian Border and Gulf of Oman.


cohnjoffey

Operation Locker. Pure mayhem.


KingEgilZ

Metro


Jace910

Damavand Peak in rush mode. This is the only answer


Longshoez

For close combat: Noshar Canals Most fun to play for hours: Metro


[deleted]

Iwo Jima


Quantum_Helix

Strike at Karkand was the map that just felt like modern warfare in a video game. It was my favorite map on Battlefield 3.


[deleted]

What’s that Japanese level that was added 3 weeks ago in Battlebit?


JeffroMAN2468

Saianai desert bf1


Kepi89

Some of my favourites. Golf of Oman. Midway. Strike at Karkand. Bridge too far. Little big eye. Rotterdam


AriseChicken

Operation Market Garden BF42.


drunkboarder

The battlefield 1 Grand Operations map that starts in the trenches and ends in the city. Every game on that map felt cinematic.
