Perhaps, though, that disappointment comes from moving directly from a Battlefield 4 that's enjoyed years of healthy support and has morphed into an incredibly rich game. Or maybe it's the inevitability that the new era Battlefield finds itself in was always going to mean the series would lose as much as it gains. The sheer verticality of Siege of Shanghai, the mad expanse of Golmud Railway - they're all extremes of personality that are hard to find in Battlefield 1's first, relatively anonymous, cluster of maps.
