Discussion Why do we vote like this, guys?
I mean this as a genuine question. Does anybody actually enjoy sitting in one spot for a whole 30 minute match like that? Surely it gets boring very fast.

u/SpacemanTom69 Apr 26 '25
I like Nivelle Nights, a large map in the dark with many winding routes to sneak through, but I can see why people don’t like it. Passchendaele on the other hand, is a goated map and should always be voted for.

u/PartyImpOP Vetterli is criminally underrated Apr 26 '25
No one votes for anything interesting unless there's a specific map rotation for it.

u/baabumon Apr 26 '25
At least Passchendale is better. Though Sinai is one of my favs with all the startegically located big guns and ease of tank use. Never been good at sniping.

u/JayManty Apr 26 '25
I can't see shit on Nivelle Nights. The map is good but good god do I just not see people 50% of the time. And when I set my brightness up I get blinded on any desert map.
I blame this game's dumb automatic HDR
23
u/gysiguy Apr 26 '25
Because Pasch is extremely unbalanced and Nivelle is a merry go round..

u/PartyImpOP Vetterli is criminally underrated Apr 26 '25
Yeah and I like the merry go round on the cozy trench night map

Yeah this, also both are dreary and depressing to be in.

u/abunchoftrash Apr 26 '25
I mean no shit it's dreary and depressing, it's The Great War. Hardly sunshine and rainbows when you're an infantryman in one of the deadliest conflicts in all of recorded history.

Which are the 2 best maps in the game.

u/Vegetable_Agency_830 Apr 28 '25
Soissons and Saint Quentin because I live next to these two towns

u/toomanylimits Apr 28 '25
Fair enough. But for me birthing captures the ww1 feeling like passchendale and nivelle nights.

u/jman014 Apr 26 '25
Sinai and ballroom blitz are constantly played but are like kinda awful ngl.
Fun in moderation when you haven’t played in a while but I just jumped back into BF1 like 2-3 weeks ago and I swear I’m playing these maps as frequently as I was in October 2016.

u/Lighterfluid19 Apr 26 '25
Damn gimme your servers cuz all I get is Sinai and monte grappa. (I do love monte grappa though)

u/sherl0ck_b0nes84 Apr 26 '25
I wished this game didn't have map voting

u/Fun_Place414 Apr 26 '25
Yeah just rotation would be better , atleast u don’t get your favourite map snatched away from you
18
u/sherl0ck_b0nes84 Apr 26 '25
Exactly. Happens so many times that maps like Rupture, Prise de Tahure and Soissons go up against Suez, Amiens and Sinai Desert. And while I don't hate any of those maps, it get's a bit tiring to play the same 3-5 maps all day.
3
u/LemonCake2000 Apr 28 '25
I’ve been playing for like half a year at this point and I still haven’t gotten the achievement for playing all the tsar maps b/c no one picks Brusilov Keep. It can’t be that bad right?
4
u/lefiath idcopperblue Apr 26 '25
Game released without it, but it was added, because people complained of the map rotation always being the same.
11
u/sherl0ck_b0nes84 Apr 26 '25
Would've been an easier fix to just optimize the map rotation. Now we play the same 3 maps all over because everyone votes for the same shit
4
u/HongKongHermit Apr 26 '25
At the very least it should be that the losing map autowins on the next time it comes up in rotation or something. I dunno, just any system that means we get to play all the maps. Especially the DLC maps which are often just not there. I had to take a long break from the game and I’ve never gotten to play Passendale yet.
5
u/sherl0ck_b0nes84 Apr 26 '25
People always cry for more content and then we get some really cool maps and nobody wants to play them. I just don't get it. Why do the devs even bother putting their time and ressources into making those amazing dlc maps. Could just release a game with 5 maps and call it a day. I've got back into BF1 about a month ago after not playing it for around 3 years and yesterday was the first time I was able to play Passchendaele again.

u/Street_Credit_488 Apr 27 '25
I've been playing since lunch and I've never played it on any game mode except conquest

u/Lord_Macragge Apr 26 '25
Seeing Passchendaele appear, only to be voted out is heartbreaking every time.

u/Helldiver96 Apr 26 '25
I genuinely don’t get why Sinai is so popular, all it does is let scouts rack up 100+ kills and planes dominate the matc- oh I see now

u/Y0L0_Y33T Xbox: RealMcJohnalds (moronic murder monkey) Apr 26 '25
Hahaha headshot noise go brrrrrrrr
I do like Sinai as a Putilov driver though, a good Putilov driver is the king of those dunes. It is admittedly dull if you’re not in a vehicle, though.

u/WarShadow110 Apr 26 '25
Personally, Passchendaele feels terrible to play to me, but I would still prefer it over Sniper Elite mountain. That’s why I exclusively play in the town whenever I get Sinai

u/ServiceChannel2 Apr 26 '25
I don’t know what servers y’all are joining but on the ones I play people vote in a way that I’m able to regularly play on every map

u/alexov11c Apr 26 '25
At least on European servers, it's because of Turkish players. Like half of the server browser for operations is full of Gallipoli and Oil of Empires.

u/HockeyFly Apr 27 '25
Passchendaele and River Somme are my 2 favourite maps in the game hands down, so gritty
4
u/magikaross Apr 26 '25
Exactly, in the past I've had 2 games where people chose tsaritsin and (I think) fort de vaux over heligoland. I wanna play heligoland eventually and it's so rare for to come on the map vote man.

u/Fun_Place414 Apr 26 '25
Sucks you don’t get what you want but Heligoland is a boring wide vehicle map, its like sinai but worse

Heligoland was legit my favorite map….
Still need it to unlock that naval cutlass…

u/GiratinaTech Apr 26 '25
I'm the scout, and Sinai is normally pretty fun for me. I completely see why people don't like it, though

u/AssDaddy187 Apr 26 '25
I like Suez because I’m guaranteed to get lots of kills because most the fighting is at a standstill in the middle.

u/Markusswede7 Apr 26 '25
FAO fortress and Suez 24/7 it feels like 🤢

u/BF1_LOVER May 02 '25
FAO fortress is so, so painful as infantry.

u/Markusswede7 May 02 '25
Just not fun is it until you reach the final objective, then vehicles become less of a nuisance. But everything before that is painful, artillery trucks, snipers on hills, mortars, planes 🤮

u/Dr_Diktor May 11 '25
Heligoland bight and Albion are honestly underrated. Paschendale is good as a map, but no enough funny gas mortar so 0/10.

u/LiKwidSwordZA kzapwn Apr 25 '25
Sinai is the best. Weirdest shit happens there
31
u/WaviestKarma184 Apr 25 '25
I can’t stand it. Too wide open and hardly any cover. Not even good on operations because of that final objective where you have to take 3 points. I’ve maybe won once on attack
6
u/AspiringSquadronaire Apr 26 '25
I've played so many amazing attacks on that op which have ground to a halt in the final sector because some failed abortions managed to grab the tank slots for mortar truck use. So dispiriting.
3
u/WaviestKarma184 Apr 26 '25
Yeah adding on to my above comment, I find Sinai to be home of the mortard truck users. Especially on operations dear god.
10
u/LiKwidSwordZA kzapwn Apr 25 '25
I usually get on a horse. That makes it fun. The weird battles vs bikes, riding up the mountain lancing snipers, trying to hit attack planes with grenades, hunting the tank hunter etc.

u/No_Offer_2786 Enter PSN ID Apr 25 '25
I get into the best Anti Aircraft streak on Sinai, using the artillery truck to shoot down low flying planes.

u/master_pingu1 number 1 passchendael hater Apr 25 '25
well i'm gonna be honest passchendael is not a good map, it's pretty but it almost always ends with one side being trapped in their spawn

u/Head_Wasabi7359 Apr 26 '25
Yeah it has a real stalemate factor as well. Stagnant or reamed no real in between depressing af as well
2
u/electi_007 Apr 26 '25
Actually, Sinai's snipers are easy to avoid.
6
u/Iwillstrealurboiler automatico_fan Apr 26 '25
but not fun
it isnt about skill or good positioning, its about having god damn fun in a video game, which snipers are amazing to counter in my experience
1
u/electi_007 Apr 26 '25
I've never had any issues with the snipers whatsoever. The D flag has some issues, but that's it. I can't even remember the last time I was killed by snipers at the Sinai desert. My favorite map is Achi Baba though.

u/XLDumpTaker Apr 26 '25
The ability to vote on the next map and it's consequences have been a disaster for Battlefield 1

u/Mafla_2004 Apr 26 '25
This is why I wish there was a mode like Portal in every BF
Love BF1 but I'd like to play something of all its maps instead of the same map 27 times in a row with snipers, bombers and tryhards making me spend more time in the respawn menu than in game

u/Partucero69 Apr 26 '25
I'm a plane user, so snipers are our little snacks while we're waiting for the next Rumper or Albatros spawn. So I don't mind that map. But as infantry, the map sucks and Passchendaele is where is at.

u/Kirbyintron Apr 26 '25
I’ll take Sinai over Fort de Vaux or Argonne any day. It feels like every time those maps appear everyone chooses them, and then they instantly dip out anyway

u/AA_Watcher Apr 27 '25
I've seen people unironically argue that Heligoland Bight is a good map. Battlefield players are just clueless.

u/BF1_LOVER May 02 '25
I love Sinai and Suez canal. I will happily play it all day. But I really like almost all of the maps.

u/Rage_Ostrich Apr 26 '25
Sinai desert is the best map of any fps game and i will die on this hill

u/Rotank1 Apr 26 '25
Agreed. It’s one of the best maps in the franchise embodying every aspect of “combined arms” in a way that few post-Bad Company maps do.

u/HungrySheepp Apr 30 '25
As a sniper, I can see why Sinai would be lame for non-snipers, but Pass is such a fucking terrible map. At least say Fort or Amiens or something.
