Siege of Shanghai
The very first Battlefield 4 map to be revealed,
Siege of Shanghai is an urban map, but with plenty of vehicles, both tanks, APCs, attack and transport helicopters. It even has boats (the
RCB) and jet skis (the
PWC).
Paracel storm
Paracel Storm was the second map to be revealed in the series. It’s the first map in the series to really focus on naval warfare, featuring plenty of boats (including the
DV-15attack boats, the
RHIB, and others), and it’s also the first map in the series to have truly dynamic weather.
Flood Zone
Flood Zone is a map that really takes advantage of the Levolution feature in Battlefield 4. Players can destroy a levy, which will flood the entire map, making some control points only accessible with boats and watercraft. Infantry combat moves from the streets to the building roofs instead. Check out a video of the map
here.
Golmud Railway
Golmud Railway is a vast, open map with tons of vehicles, from jets, to helicopters, to tanks and APCs — Golmud Railway is the classic, big battlefield map for all those who love heavy vehicle combat.
Operation Locker
Operation Locker is a snow covered map with a very linear layout, with the center of the map taking place underground. Its layout is similar to Damavand Peak from BF3. The map centers around an underground complex with plenty of tunnels and passages, where players can lock doors and gates to prevent the enemy from entering a particular section.
Hainan Resort
Hainan Resort is the other Battlefield 4 map set in a tropical environment (the other being Paracel Storm), however, Hainan Resort has more focus on infantry than Paracel Storm, and revolves around a resort town set on a small island.
Dawnbreaker
Dawnbreaker is another urban map set mostly at night in a large city. While the center of the map is based in the city, there is enough room around to include jets as well.
Lancang Dam
In
Lancang Dam, players can destroy a large dam, however, the area is not flooded like in Flood Zone. Lancang Dam has a good balance of vehicle and infantry warfare, like Caspian Border in BF3.
Rogue Transmission
Rogue Transmission takes place at an observatory in China, and is centered around the massive satellite dish. Players can move both below and above the dish.
Zavod 311
Zavod 311 takes place at an abandoned Russian tank factory, and is surrounded by forested areas. You can check out a quick gameplay video of the map
here.
