HOURGLASS is still a horrible map

Even today, it takes me 5 minutes - minimum - to get to an objective at the beginning of a match. Once in a while, I might spawn with a group that can actually capture an objective at the beginning. Nonetheless, I spent the first five minutes after entering Hourglass to get to any objective. BF2042 has the worst maps of any BF.

Yep, won't play it. Too much running around doing nothing except getting sniped.

@killCAMPERS Normal flat map. There are few of those left. Everything is reworked for monkey vertical gameplay conception. Soon there will be a circus with an outdated and degraded class system.

@flcrmI agree to a point that we need diversity when it comes to maps. Some maps don’t need to be super vertical, and big and flat is actually nice sometimes. Hourglass is great for Tanks because you don’t have to worry every second that you’re going to hit something or that someone will jump out of cover and C5 you.

The map does need more cover though. I don’t want them to squish everything in and make it smaller. The layout and objectives are totally fine. Besides more cover, we need to land next to the first objective. Not sure why we’re always dropped off a minute worth of running from the first objective.

No one wants to run to the first point, drop us off a 100 meters or less Dice!

i think if DICE just deleted the map and never spoke of it ever again, in a year or so we could all believe it was just a fever dream....

@killCAMPERS It's bad, but it's up for a rework next. Not sure how long we'll have to wait, but for in the meantime you can always just leave matches if you pop into one on it. It's frustrating, but less frustrating than playing that map.

Manifest is a vertical playground now after the rework. No chance to VOIP with your squad, everything happens too fast, everyone for themselves, it's too dense now maybe. I like the tactical aspect of the game, playing together with friends while TALKING. (Not chatting in txt form). For that i love Hourglass. It's good to have variety though. If there would be a server that would bring up all maps one after each other, everyone would be happy. everyone can take a least favourite map if you know it will not come up again in the near future. Class system is welcomed, it made me try other specialists. Today i enjoyed playing with friends, trying out different classes and specialists.

@RaginSam They just need to do a Breakaway. Bring all the landmarks closer in, reduce the length of desert between objectives and it may work.

@Tank2042Man Yes they could squeeze the map a bit, some more cover here and there and spawn way closer to first flag.

@Tank2042Man Maybe make things ever so slightly closer, but I don't want another Breakaway type rework. Some maps should be bigger and play slower.

It definitely needs more cover and maybe more varied housing. It's a little repetitive with the weird store fronts or housing things going on.
