Battlefield 2042 Breakaway Map: Adventure and War in the Antarctic

Battlefield 2042 has some truly interesting maps to play on. One of those maps is Breakaway, which is a map that takes place in Antarctica. I have always enjoyed playing on snowy and arctic maps since the Delta Force games.

There is something unique about snowy maps. The color in it is particularly amazing to see in these modern games. The full textures and the shapes can be full revealed in these engines.

This is a map that reminds heavily of Battlefield 2142 with its heavy emphasis on snow in the European theatre. Battlefield 2142 in many ways had some of my favorite maps in the Battlefield series. It’s bold willingness to embrace its setting in its map design gave it a unique style which I cannot see in the newer games.

One of the main issues with Battlefield 6 when I was playing the beta was that too many of the maps looked similar to each other. One of the reasons why Liberation Peak was on top for me was because it was able to combine a small town, hilltop fortifications and lots of mountainous terrain. Empire State was too interior oriented for me to enjoy. Siege of Cairo is better as it is more exotic being an Egyptian setting and I think that it seems better designed than what we see with Empire State.

That is why when Battlefield 6 comes out, I am sure to enjoy Liberation Peak as my favorite map. It is big enough and has some of my favorite geographical features of mountains and snowy peaks. That is what makes it so beautiful and enjoyable to play.

There are still some maps out there that have not been released but I believe that they will play to their own strengths.

Battlefield 6: Liberation Peak is the best map in the Open Beta

Battlefield 6 Liberation Peak Mountains and Sniper

Battlefield 6’s Liberation Peak was probably one of the best maps of the open beta. I am guy who loves snow and this map just scratches that itch in more ways than one.

In comparison with the infantry heavy Empire State map, Liberation peak allows for the player to breathe and for tactics to matter instead of constantly worrying about soldiers behind you or in nearby buildings. Unlike that map, Liberation Peak uses space in a way that similar to Monte Grappe in Battlefield 1. Natural formations allow for snipers to hide behind rocks and mountain passes give the map a character which is missing in some of the maps such as Siege of Cairo and Empire State.

In my opinion, those urban maps are simply too cluttered and filed with cars and rubble. It is hard to make out what you are seeing and it turns the matches into whack a mole games where one guy slips by and you race to capture yet another location in the rear.

I believe that they will be improving these maps before the release of the full game.

What Liberation Peak reminds me of those classic Battlefield maps from before Battlefield 3. They were just huge maps where you could use vehicles or infantry and just walk around. It made it tough for hackers as they would be more exposed to attack from the air or snipers.

This map is a very interesting rendition of Tajikistan, a country of mountains and beautiful peaks which have snowtops; it is a truly beautiful and amazing place.

That’s what I love about. Honestly, it has that atmosphere that I love in the winter: it has that crisp and cold and most importantly, clean air.

Battlefield 6: Vehicular combat is a return to form for the series.

Battlefield 6’s Open Beta is in full swing, and people are coming into play. Battlefield 6 has already gotten over 500,000 peak players on steam charts. On console, it is probably even higher. I have been very impressed with the performance that the game is giving me on my computer.

In terms of the Vehicular combat, I have to say that this game series is one of the best and there no one that comes close to competing with it. Vehicular combat is a genre of video games that used to be more popular in the past and Battlefield holds up that tradition in spades here and with greater fidelity than before.

As of right now, Liberation Peak is the best map for vehicular combat. Considering how snipers are so prevalent on Liberation Peak that it is better to be inside a vehicle.

The map has a variety of vehicles available for use. There are jeeps that spawn at the various bases. Such vehicles are useful for attacking objective points on the map.

The infantry fighting vehicles are also there. It useful in being able to transport many soldiers. The CV-90 seen in these screenshots, can be used to transport 6 soldiers at a time. This means that the vehicle, piloted by someone with lots of skill can takeover objectives quickly on the map. It has multiple weapons and countermeasures, making it tough vehicle.

There are also Main Battle Tanks on this map also. In the beta, the main one available is the M1A2 Abrams. It is a very powerful vehicle capable of taking out vehicles as well as infantry. There is also a copilot position in here also which adds more firepower to the tanks.

Aircraft are also make their presence known on Liberation Peak. Such maps have their detractors in the form of some more purist FPS players but the aircraft opens up Battlefield to more players; I’ll be honest, they make the game more interesting than just having guys running around shooting at one another. The interplay between infantry and vehicle in Battlefield is what distinguishes it from other games.

The CV-90 is an example of what I like seeing in this series. Unlike some of the fanbase that only wants to play on the same urban maps, these vehicles allow for greater squad play than any other approach. One of the things that these vehicles allow is for players to hitch rides and capture objectives. The usage of vehicles in these games helps to build a sense of teamwork and give people something to strive for over just running and gunning opponents in games.

Battlefield always had a variety of maps and we should appreciate that. However, we cannot just have Urban repeats all the time. I like the bigger maps as they force players to think more about how to organize themselves and win the game.

Battlefield is all about the holistic integration of combined arms not just running and gunning on a small urban map. Battlefield 6 shows why the series is not just a clone of other FPS games but its own subgenre that is still highly popular amongst gamers.
