One of Kyle's earliest memories is of watching his older brother play Ocarina of Time, which probably explains how he ended up as an Editor for Screen Rant's Gaming section. In addition to BF3 having newer versions of classic BF2 maps, it also has a couple good options to bring strictly urban warfare to Portal, something missing in the first six maps. Seine Crossing would let players fight through the streets of Paris, while Operation Metro would provide a so-called meat grinder map, which seems like a missing ingredient in the chaotic gameplay Portal is sure to deliver. Bad Company 2 maps like Atacama Desert and Port Valdez are enticing options that could also be used for Breakthrough, a game mode that has seemingly replaced Rush. Portal could potentially bring about a resurgence for Rush, a game mode seemingly forgotten by the most recent Battlefield games. 1942 has some maps that are based on iconic WWII battles, such as Omaha Beach, Operation Market Garden, and Iwo Jima. Aside from the exciting prospect of more 1942 maps being updated with destruction, there's a chance to fill the World War II inspired void left by Battlefield V. If 2042's Portal does indeed start its post-launch content with more maps from the three games already included, Battlefield 1942 seems the most poised to deliver compelling maps. The second is that a version of them already exists in the Battlefield games remastered for Portal. Following the launch of Battlefield 2042, it seems more likely that Ripple Effect, developers of Portal, would continue working on the games already added instead of pivoting to including more.
The first is that the past remasters of these maps makes them familiar to many Battlefield fans. These three maps - Wake Island, Strike at Karkand, and Gulf of Oman - stand out from the crowd as the most obvious to be added to Portal for two reasons. Related: Battlefield 2042: How Private Servers Work In Battlefield Portal Battlefield 2 also has a couple maps that have recurred in later games, Strike at Karkand and Gulf of Oman. In fact, there are more Battlefield games with a version of Wake Island than there are without. 1942's Wake Island could be considered Battlefield's flagship map, appearing in numerous games throughout the series. A few fan favorites are already confirmed to be in Portal's launch line up of classic maps, but there are a few that have been remastered in the past that are noticeably missing. Battlefield has a long history with dozens of maps to choose from out of its several different eras.
