- The newly added Empire State map is the smallest yet and excludes all vehicles, fueling criticism of map size.
- DICE insists large maps exist and that gameplay tempo varies accordingly, but many modes appear smaller than expected.
- Only three launch maps offer a full range of vehicles including tanks, helicopters, and jets for large-scale battles.
- The gap between player expectations and actual map scale may lead to disappointment when the game launches on October 10.
