The UGLY side of Battlefield 2042..

Today I bring to you an interesting video. I get the odd comment saying I always play the same maps. Lets be honest, We don't have that many to choose from. So today I'll rank the Battlefield 2042 maps from best to worst. After that I'll play a full round on one of them to see if fun is possible. Bf2042 is full of surprises as you'll see. Hopefully I'll see you on the Battlefield.
Enjoy the Video Guys #battlefield2042 #bf2042 #battlefield

Hey squid I like your videos! I want to be a battle field youtuber as well like you si you ar an inspiration!

[@AdamActual5280]

I dig this idea, it is nice to see you playing on different maps while talking through what you do and don't like. 👍

[@SQUiD-G]

Cheers Adam

[@Tookie-2014]

To be honest i enjoy watching you play on any map. Your outstanding playing and hilarious commentary is what makes the video not what map your playing

[@d4mdcykey]

Very cool format, Squid. Given your approach and commentary I'd be down for you running thru them all, good and bad. I'm always interested in a different perspective from how I play, many times I discover something from your videos that would not have occurred to me because of my style, and then I adapt. This is the essence of gaming for me.

[@SQUiD-G]

Cheers brother 🍻

[@Mario-aquino]

Really like this idea, breaking down the maps in this way is really interesting. For me I i usually try to play around a point that will suit the playstyle im going for, or I'll switch up my playstyle on depending on the situation/point.

[@Thechosenfool]

Great video as always Squid, I just play conquest 64 and take whatever map they throw at me, some I favour over others but I just take the rough with the smooth

[@rmcl5116]

I personally loved the chaos breakthrough mode on Spearhead. Non stop action! Great video as always Squid ❤

[@SQUiD-G]

Maybe it's time for a chaos return

[@10Gauge]

Agreed 💯 on Orbital. Awesome map. I think your list aligns with my feelings on the maps pretty well.

[@SQUiD-G]

GG bro 👍

[@CyanideFFS]

Doesnt really matter what happens in game or how bad the maps are, you are a great creator and always make it work, really love your videos❤And you should definetly try Conquest 64 if you missed that there are more maps there:P i rarely play 128 anymore. Keep strong, love you dude

[@shatterdice1]

Dont think we care what map ypu choose to record an edit . We just want you SQUiD-G . Your entertaining as hell and always gets me pumped to load up BF. Wish i could play like you but lately my aims been off 😢

[@bronowiczj]

Very interesting Squid. Love the commentary on top of your usual top notch play! Mix it up with these now and then but I for one love watching you soar on Orbital

[@SQUiD-G]

Glad you enjoyed! cheers bro

[@nickstrowbridge5097]

really loving these types of vids squid, your skill with the ntw ......ha ...all weapons is a joy to watch, and i hope its easier and fun for you too 🙂

[@walrusahoy5878]

Squid - this was awesome. Regardless of the specific content, the format of a talk-through on your personal opinions and insights was great. Justifying your rationale and even finding a few gems in the dirt as you revisited a map you don’t like. It was good to open with your reasoning and then test it out to see if is still valid. Perhaps this should be the why I hate series and you play some rush etc 😅

[@kevyray7440]

Hi Squid. It's great to see you playing different maps and your opinions on them. Be nice to see you play with what you think are the worst weapons. Or basic weapons. Good job 👍

[@GoombaTwin79]

Whoa, little tier list action for the open, I like it! I like the new angle you got for the channel, slight changes to the mold, something different at the beginning and the end of the videos. GGs And play whatever you want to play, I say it all the time, I'm here for it.

[@SQUiD-G]

Cheers Goomba

[@robert_5974]

Actually I really enjoyed this type of video. I liked hearing your opinion on it. You did forget that the signs at the top of those two Zipline connected buildings can be shot and fall down like levolution. It isn't major levolution by it does change the base of the building landscape a little. Loved the video

[@ofiros1987]

I really enjoyed this vid. Pls do reclaimed Also. Can you do your bf games ranking?

[@richarddietz2659]

Love ya "work" Squidman ! Ya know wot? I found using a thermal scope to spot hotspots of enemies, tag em , then switch back to red dot , it works a charm.

[@GooseTheSecond]

You said an accidental spoonerism: "Turis Borret there" and you even switched the vowels. Love it.

[@GrenadePosse]

My guy, we gotta see you finish out the specialist playlist brother. That was awesome.

[@Dagger1Charlie]

Some maps can be an absolute torcher to play. But love your content and that you share your thoughts

[@MetalNorse]

This was an interesting video. Nice to get your point of view on the maps. Please, do another map. 😊😊😊

[@SQUiD-G]

Cheers bro 🥂

[@ajsharaf]

this was a fun video. please do more like this

[@scotlandmcturk659]

Great video. more of this is isn't a bad thing. Orbital is my favorite. I think thats from watching your gameplay. You really do make the game fun. Thanks.

[@zenguro]

Since I can't select a map in conquest, I have to start and cancel match making until I get e.g. orbit?

[@ethangoesvroomyt]

I actually really like kaleidoscope. It had its flaws, but the rooftops like you said are awesome!

[@SQUiD-G]

Best part facts Bro

[@AFlyingCapybara]

I mainly play the rooftops in kaleidoscope as well, they should've put many building close together and the flags on top

[@SQUiD-G]

Yep 👍

[@geraldbergin3084]

Your sniping technique is awesome! Don’t worry about the maps , you always create entertainment, Great video as always Squid! 👍👍👍

[@SQUiD-G]

Thanks for the constant support bro

[@geraldbergin3084]

@@SQUiD-G you deserve the support for the entertainment you provide, just letting you know you may not see me at start of streams for next 2 weeks as working nights 👍

[@chicagohobbyhero]

Nice to see your thoughts and ranking of the maps

[@geerrr3516]

Love your ranking of the maps. I love spearhead tho!

[@JynXHDZz]

That intro was crazy 😂😂

[@mattsmith6828]

to be honest, i never REALLY paid that much attention to which map you were playing on. i'm more interested in which characters you play as. mackay and sundance are my favorites and dozer is probably my least favorite. i think i'm the most interested in watching you put yourself in precarious situations and then you clutching a multi-kill at the last second. cheers!

[@jaym1244]

The stadium was the best part of that map and Dice threw it on the cutting room floor!

[@killNkaos]

Love the content as always.

[@SQUiD-G]

Glad to hear it! Thanks dude

[@scotlandmcturk659]

I watch u play BF more the i play with myself. wait, that might not sound right. Just keep doing what u are doing. I saw u play that zombie game, was hysterial. GET REKT!!

[@SQUiD-G]

Hahaha thanks bro

[@ChuckCanada1]

I like Spearhead a lot cause I can hide the Bolte in-between my sneaky fast attacks around the map. Lots of places to put mines for tanks. Bolte is GG on Spearhead if you know what your doing you can get an easy win with it.

[@stamford70]

I've said before pal that I enjoy hearing you speak your thoughts on these videos as it gives a great insight into how you play. You mentioned some dilbert was cheating. In what way was he cheating? I play on PS5. Is it a pc thing? Cheers again for uploading. I enjoy you playing any maps tbh pal 😂😂

[@Drewface89]

Looked ok. If you don't have fun, though, then what's the point? If you're having fun, we're having fun!

[@kilamir]

Watched your video 2 days ago where you where expressing somes of yours concern, and I want you to know, i will always listen to your content. Been subscribe from 20k sub and watched every video since. And even if it’s hard, I think you should a least try some other games even if it’s like on video on 6. I ave seen another KZbinr being stuck with the same problem than you where he could only play squad but he managed to get out of this cycle and even if it’s still is main game he now plays a lot of others games. (His names is nano if you want to look it up)

[@SQUiD-G]

Thanks my bro, I'll have a look

[@kilamir]

It’s been a while that he shifted but yeah.

[@JohnJohnson-xb6mo]

Yeah way too much space, definitely improve it if it was brought closer in. I haven't played rush in ages, but as it's featured in Redux, have it a go. Loads of fun 😂

[@madcow1998]

One thing i like to do from orbital is see if theres tanks or AA behind the enemy permimeter by the launch pad and ill fly past the no go zone just to blow them up even if i die to the out of bounds haha

[@Natedoc808]

I’ve been playing the Afghanistan war sim so much I had to dig deep to remember all the maps you mentioned

[@braddeicide]

I like fighting in the DC, or the two bunkers, but yea I dislike running between them

[@discosucks3dr]

Correct. In everything you said about the maps.

[@niclic106]

8:21 Two last points in Rush on that map are on this red team roof. Its fun indeed

[@marcballbot3343]

Totally agree some maps are great fun then u get a bad map u finally get to the flag and then ur dead from helicopter cos its so open. Great insight into what u think 👍🏻👍🏻 How have dice not given u a job yet 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SQUiD-G]

You know what, I'd take a job if it meant helping

[@TheMortamer]

A Torris Burret right there huh? Didn’t know they changed the names lol

[@_Void_Archive_]

I just downloaded this battlefield, I have a stupid question: I only have 3 maps in capture mode, why is that?

[@SQUiD-G]

It's a limited event

[@_Void_Archive_]

@@SQUiD-G Thank you!

[@RevCynycterCyxx]

You should do this for all the other battlefields too. If you can get the maps you dont like

[@Metaljacket420]

I wish the reworks would have given multiple possible layouts/areas per map that it'd cycle, there's certainly room for it on most of the maps there's so much space not even used.

[@IanTed]

Hate Hourglass and Kaleidoscope, love to see Golmund reimagined…

[@SQUiD-G]

Tank heaven

[@philabbott8762]

How about a Rooftop Siege mode, both teams have a tower each at either end of the map and you take it in turns to try and conquer the other tower, Defenders vs Attackers. No attach choppers & condors with disabled weapons just as drop ships. Elevators still active.

[@SQUiD-G]

That sounds like heaven mate

[@maw9723]

I personally love Kaleidoscope, and I love you too Squid.

[@drewrhodes9954]

I could play on exposure 24/7 lol maybe mix In Kaleidoscope, Reclaimed, and renewal and I’m good.

[@damienmcdonald7610]

I understand where you're coming from on a conquest perspective but I think I play vehicles a bit more than you (about 50/50 vehicles and infantry) but also rush is one of my favourite modes and a lot of the maps you ranked lower do work so much better for rush

[@markdalby9158]

Good vid.

[@w.a4071]

now if you could only get EA/DICE to listen just a little bit more than adding containers to maps. I would love a small city map , 4-5 stores a Modern Amiens or something like that.

[@UZI-Max]

Diversity is the new cool 😎 hop on board ! Great idea , awesome video !!

[@plumbussmith]

Good one

[@stephenheath5893]

I agree that switching up the maps would be good to see. Of course, nothing wrong IMO in how you do the videos from the get-go.

[@eugeneb8681]

My fav maps are Valparaisio and Arika Harbour which are both for 64 players. You should try it

[@lencac7952]

I tend to agree with your ratings. Although I do have a 1241m headshot on this map

[@SQUiD-G]

It's my longest head shot also 😂

[@Carlo_ReNews]

I can very my play style depending on what map I am on. For example if it is Orbital i play very much like you. If it’s spearhead I play more tactical and go from objective to objective. It’s fun both ways. So here is my ranking: 1. Spearhead 2. Orbital 3. Exposure 4. Hourglass 5. Kaleidoscope 6. Stranded 7. Reclaimed 8. Flashpoint 9. Breakaway 10. Maifest 11. Discarded 12. Renewal

[@familyfunthree]

I enjoyed the change of scenery 👌

[@philiplopez4318]

Hi sir and everyone,, please help, why i cant find a match anymore? Always trying to get a match for more than an hour till i quit , and im trying for months already, my last match was like 2 or 3 seasons ago, then up to now i cant play it anymore,,, anyone got a fix? This game is the reason i subscribed to ps plus but now i always get disappointed. Thanks for anyone who could help...

[@SQUiD-G]

Is cross play enabled, it can turn itself off with updates

[@philiplopez4318]

@SQUiD-G tnx for replying sir squidG, yes i have tried checking it and i always set crossplay to on, i am on ps4 btw, before i can find matches but since like 3 or 4 months ago until now still i cant find a match anymore, i miss playing it, its the reason i subscribed to ps plus just to get the game for free....

[@Alex.Kandmor]

Have you ever thought of setting up your own BF server and hosting the kind of game modes/content YOU wanna play? Might be a fun way for you to revitalize your love for the game/your channel content

[@SQUiD-G]

Yeah I've done that plenty bro. SQUID G CHAOS has been hosted 6 or 7 times now by DICE 🫡

[@Alex.Kandmor]

@@SQUiD-G oh ya! I forgot about chaos!

[@killNkaos]

He did that last year, for months in a row, the featured game mode Squid G's Chaos rush. It has been featured multiple times in the game's Community Spotlight .

[@Alex.Kandmor]

@@SQUiD-G I mostly mean like host a server like Boris only, or Dozer only, or knives only, invite a bunch of people from the community to play, and record vids from that content

[@SQUiD-G]

@@Alex.Kandmor I have something awesome in mind

[@realKarakin98]

Reclaimed.. such a good map in my opinion. The problem is that I did not found it in the last month. And I play almost every day

[@SQUiD-G]

Yeah I can't find it either 😕

[@miningsimple1924]

How can you judge a map when you never play the objective?

[@Eluscives]

W videos as always!

[@SQUiD-G]

First comment, quick 👍😁

[@kakamesh]

I know I'm not in the majority but flashpoint is my fav map. Love orbital, exposure, stranded. Can't really enough hourglass.. fav maps of all time are Caspian border, kharg Island and Operation firestorm......

[@chicagohobbyhero]

I miss the destruction of BF 4 and level-utions. Seems the new ones just don't have much destruction after BF1 you could level an entire city if you wanted.

[@slavzzzzz]

Portal maps have been part of 64 conquest for ages, I play that mode most often because of those maps. I do prefer 128 conquest but those older maps have a way better battlefield vibe to them

[@SQUiD-G]

That's facts Bro

[@dukem991]

Good idea try them all

[@bobzthabarbarian]

5:30 "Turris Borret" Was that intentional? I've never heard that and i have to say, I love it! Thanks, Squid! Edit: Kaleidoscope is by far the worst 2042 map, in my opinion. Your tier list seemed fair to me.

[@Lego-li3gi]

Bring back the chaos of Metro on conquest !!!

[@unknownentity_9215]

You need to setup 24/7 servers (one per week) on portal of all the maps you rate badly and see whether games with your community can help change your mind

[@SQUiD-G]

That's a decent yet funny idea 😂💡

[@eoinm5758]

Did you not know that about the old maps on 64 used to be the same on exodus conquest

[@SQUiD-G]

Nope 😂

[@paulorenatolima3013]

The secret is to play them all in 64 conquest ... the maps are all smaller including Kaleidoscope!

[@SQUiD-G]

That's what I'm gonna do 😊

[@desmlr9077]

Had so many hackers in my games recently compared to previous weeks - they are back, maybe a cheap deal on a hack or something shit.

[@SQUiD-G]

That's a possibility dude

[@Natedoc808]

Would be awesome to play a bigger badder dragon valley.

[@peteredwards7114]

I used to like playing the stadium and D 1 flag on the building roof top of Hourglass but the idiots removed it in the re work😢😢. I don’t really care for that map anymore. I also avoid Breakaway since the re work and I’ve never liked Reclaimed, it’s just crap. Orbital and Exposure are my favourites.

[@tessaN64]

the linear maps are great for squad play the open maps are great for solo play

[@renoops3156]

The lack of levelution and destructability is my biggest negative to this ideration of battlefield.

[@ATLASNEVERSHRUGS]

Love You Squid ❤

[@1htalp9]

Did you notice that the bulk of the maps fall on the negative side of the ratings? Not good. I sure hope that DICE figures out how to make amazing maps before the next BF.

[@soren12]

It’s funny cause most of the maps you rated bad are good for breakthrough and rush js 😅

Renewal has terrible spawns. Literally in the middle of an open field

Theres only 2 maps i will avoid at all costs and thats hourglass and exposure. Avoid them like a virus. Never have a good time on either map. Can make do with the rest.

[@mikesbikechannel4387]

I dont understand how anyone can tuve you grief over what map you play. Weve all been thru 2042 sending us to discarded 6 times in a row. 99% of bf players have done the search for a decent map for 20 mins. I blame session based gaming for this. Servers are the way.
