Yeah agreed, they’re medium sized maps at best at the moment.

Wake island and Karkland were at their best infantry only and cut in half. They could have solved the issues having private servers so people could just mod games and have there own communities like BF2.

I almost exclusively play breakthrough so feel your pain on this one. I do think some of the maps need to be tweaked as on attack it feels just plain painful.
But otherwise loving it.

the problem with breakthrough and rush is that balance of the map really matters, some maps are impossible to defend and others to attack
its the best mode though when its right and it depends on teamwork or skill to push through
it will change as more unlocks change up what's available to people as well

Joined a game yesterday where drone boost glitch was in full effect 
I was one of those wanting bigger maps after playing beta. I think after playing what we have I'm pretty happy with the size we have. I think they work well with enough space for 64 players without being too crowded. You obviously have choke points and congested areas, but I feel I have enough freedom of movement and map space to be creative with my plays/approaches.
That said I wouldnt be averse to a couple bigger maps. I'm not a huge vehicle player, I play the IFV/Tank every now and then but even using those I dont feel too constrained.

It seems like every other server I drop into are half filled with bots, something seems broken like the matchmaker isnt filling servers up properly. Or has the online population dropped off that fast that its struggling to fill servers? As soon as I see bots I back out, I'm not interested in playing against AI, I'd play campaign if I wanted to do that!

I think what's good about the current maps is your not long into the action.
That and the fact the bigger maps end up with about 10 infantry and 36 snipers.
Snipers really annoy me, the game seems far too sniper orientated and yes there ends up being so many of them they are all tripping over eachother.
I like playing the objectives, far too aggressively, that's not good for my in game health especially when there are a lot of snipers around.
But. my thinking is if you can't beat them join them, so i take up snipering myself on those large maps now, i specifically look for the snipers on the other side, at first to harass them in a hate fuelled reaction to them, now i'm finding i actually enjoy it and am starting to get pretty good at harassing opposing snipers.
My longest headshot to date is 608m, i did that with the beginner rifle with the 6X scope, at that range you have to point the damn thing right up in the air, i got him as he was climbing the ladders on Firestorm, fantastic shot, 608m on a moving target, 6X scope, i wish i had it recorded.
**** 36 snipers, just join them and harass them, maybe if DICE see too many playing sniper on these maps they might do something about it.

I wouldnt say its really sniper orientated at all. Most of the time its a minor nuisance at most. There are some rounds It can be a hinderance if your team dosnt have any effective counter snipers but there are always other points/routes to avoid the worst sniper hotspots.
Only place where I've had issues where I have to bring out the sniper rifle myself is on Firestorm to get rid of stubborn snipers in the hills that were locking us down. They can be a bit oppressive on that map.

yeah but it's become ridiculously easy for me. I get like a couple of kills and suddenly I've got a whole row of attachments unlocked.
Welcome to Battlefield
Just makes it all the more fun / satisfying to blow them out of their hidey holes
Is there not an option to filter out any games with bots chucked in? If not that's not good; I also have no interest in playing against bots and no interest in the campaign.

It does seem to be turning in to a sniper fest.
Which is pretty boring.

I know....
I have been playing Battlefield since Battlefield 1942, actually not quite true, i skipped 1, 5 and 2042.
This one is trying to be 3 / 4, which is great, those are the best ones, but also blended with COD, which is not so good.
People are gravitating towards sniping because it's one of the only weapon classes that doesn't suffer from bloom.
There's also the whole 'I got sniped by someone so I'm going to now start sniping' approach - as well as 'my team isn't pushing the objective with me so I'm going to sit back and snipe as well' mindset that seems to have filtered in a fair bit this past week.
Honestly the bloom thing has made me pause playing as much. I hit level 44 the other day but it's just a bit exhausting constantly having your bullets not go where you're aiming because of bloom. Such a strange mechanic in an FPS game to add RNG to aiming.

Snipers are just anti-fun - ruins the game for everyone who wants to play the objectives.
Have has some terrible hit registration today - sneaked up on 2 playes and point blank fired 4 times and not a thing - standing still, aimed, static target - nothing. Put a full mag into a piece of equipment - nothing.
And fed up of trying to get these adrenalin kills for assualt.
