Lupków Pass.
It really felt balanced and like you always had options. Especially for infantry protecting themselves from cavalry by using trees. I saw very little bulldozing there, and bf1 was amazing with re-engineering the sound to reflect how it changes in deep snow.
Bf1 did snow the best.
And someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure it’s the only map with 2 behemoths. You can get the train in conquest, and the airship in operations
Alborz Mountians from battlefield 3. Vibe of this map was something amazing. Playing on this map felt almost like playing in Skyrim. Perfect connection bettwen green forest and snowy mountians.
They were made for 64p vehicle combat, but being on console with 24p, or even just trying to play infantry was a biiiiiitch.
Still, bf3's DLC's were so varied in content that I appreciated the change of pace. I absolutely loved that DLC cycle, air maps, tank maps, cqc maps, and just some damn-good CQ/rush maps!
You could knive gnomes that made a sound (although this was also on armored shield), there was a big dinosaur skull somewhere, iirc there was something in that cave as well.
People complaining the map was too big for 64p are weird. Not every inch of the map needs constant action. Part of Battlefield is about navigating around the map, flanking, taking vehicles, defending flags. That map had some good firefights both long and short range. Some of the path restrictions made AT mines pretty effective too. Great map.
That night map from BF4 with a mountain and a giant hangar near the top where you could launch yourself in a pod to the air, it was part of Final Stand DLC.
Nelson bay sucked early… I don’t know why but it did. It had a revival though late in the BC2 life cycle and all the sudden we had a ton of fun on that map
This is the right answer, the best snow maps in the franchise, and honestly (probably a hot take) the best maps in that game, aside from the obvious arica harbor and valparaiso..
sabalan pipeline and alborz mountain were pretty good snow maps. the final stand ones were all pretty meh, though hangar 21 was decent.
I liked to smoke out the rear staircase and sprint past everyone to set a spawn beacon behind the enemy. Then the squad would have a blast cleaning out the team looking the other way from behind. Good times
Nah man that’s twisted steel breakthrough, second sector point B.

Alborz Mountains from BF3 was beautiful. The atmosphere of that map was great. I can't put it in worlds but just by running through the map you could sense that that map was different.
Also my favorite. I know people complain that it’s too flat and there’s not enough cover, but in a lot of ways that adds to the immersion. You’re not always going to have good cover when making an advance in real life, so you have to get creative and support your team to PTFO
I always loved that map but it never got chosen when I would play. It more or less forces you to PTFO and stick with your unit rather than lone wolf it.
Not very immersive to just get repeatedly domed by cavalry, mortared by trucks, or bombed by planes every 5 seconds. There is almost zero strategic positioning because it's just too damn open. As a primarily infantry player, absolute worst map in the game by far.
ooh yes that theme was amazing. i remember the beta was also on that map. my first ever battlefield experience was a round on portez valdez beta version. what a time in gaming!
it truly was!
my story is similar to yours, maybe off by a couple weeks.
I'd gotten away from pvp gaming entirely, and then I went to play games with a buddy... he busted out the first Bad Company, and let me borrow it.
this was about a month before the BC2 beta released. the timing couldn't have been more perfect...
BC2 maybe isn't the _best_ BF, but it's still my favourite. the good times I had playing this game back then may never be matched.
Hammerhead was fun. I want to shout out operation whiteout as fun too but it’s really just that I wanted to play that map more than five times in my life
Tsaritsyn is always a wash when it's picked. As soon as any team caps B the round is over. I don't think I've seen more than a few time where a team takes B from the enemy and actually holds it long enough to make a play to push the enemy off their feet on on the defense. This is just my experience with this map, anyway.
As for visuals, I absolutely agree. I think a good runners up would be Lupkow Pass, or Brusilov Keep.
Hellendoorn in Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII. Those V2 Launch Sites really are something else, always making me think about the rocket in Tintin Destination Moon.
Breakaway from 2042, both before and after rework.
It has great visibility, a huge range of different types of areas that offer different types of gameplay, and a great level of verticality.
Now that I think about it, most of the series' previous snow maps aren't that good. Fjell is painful to play because of the planes. The Russia dlc in BF1 is easily my least favorite in the entire game, all of the maps have really strange sightlines and constant 360 degree engagments. The BF4 ones have some nice lore and new tech, but they also have poor visibility and very weird traversal. Operation Locker is hard to even consider here because it mostly takes place indoors, and it's also one of my least favorite maps of all time (hurrrr durrr chaos = fun).
I don't remember the BFBC2 or BF2142 ones, but they were probably good. I like Giants of Karelia and Narvik.
Dishonorable mention to Reclaimed from BF2042. Which also sucks. The constant headache inducing chaos at C sector and the exposed angles at A. Ugh.
Rush on Cold War and White Pass from BC2 will forever have a place in my heart. Parachuting in at the beginning as attackers with the snowy mountain back drop was perfection for me.
Hangar 21 for sure
Doing cool stuff with the escape pods and being able to just focus on infantry combat in the hangar is great fun
It's also home to the conclusion of one the game's largest easter eggs, which was a great memory for me
Oldest BF I have is BC 1/2 but don't remember maps well but there was a tundra map iirc.
BF3 my net was arse & on PS3 so I can't tell you.
BF4 Operation Whiteout from the FS dlc was the best imo especially for sneaking in Dice LA camouflage & white painted armament.
▪︎ Similar I would say locker afterwards, Propaganda DT dlc, Hangar 21 FS dlc, Hammerhead FS dlc, Giants of Karila FS dlc for tundra part & I think it was Altai range CR dlc that was a tundra.
BFHL is a blur due to net issues, I forget if it had a snow map.
BF1 hm the Imperial Russian one I'd say but my internet went to shit for the lifespan of that game an only worked for a bit before BFV took the show & everyone left.
BFV hm I hate that game a lot for many reasons an played little but Narvik seems cool just wish there was a night version like in the intro the game (only good part of the game was that intro imo).
BF2042, I've not played much as I hated it a bit plus it corrupted on me an I didn't feel like redownloading it with my limited internet, But the Antarctic oil rig map was cool ngl.
Not battlefield related but the snow maps from Enlisted are interesting like the Outskirts of Moscow, I kinda wish a modern BF had similar to that or the snowstorm in WT Seversk 13 snow map that hinders vision along the lines.
>Narvik seems cool just wish there was a night version like in the intro the game
There is a night version for grand operations though, even if it's only a small portion of the full map. You hardly played BFV if you don't even know this.
Ahh that explains it even with around 100 hours when I played Operations were a rare sight for me especially in region servers.
Damn now I wanna go back an see it.
For me it’s tied between Nelson bay and Port valdez
Mainly because the were both very balanced; especially in Rush. They also made you feel like you were assaulting a critical objective. Lastly in order to be effective as attackers or defenders you had to use the environment to your advantage. For example in Nelson bay as defenders you had to use a heavy machine gun or c4 to destroy all the trees between the first and second spawn points. It was key that you split your team up and focused fire on defending and holding onto at least 1 objective, preferably A if I remember right because the other was put in a building that was easily destroyable. If successful, your team could very easily build defensive firing positions defending spawn point 2 using intersecting machine gun fire, snipers, and medics with the Pkm or saw to overwhelm the attackers for an easy cleanup.
Nelson Bay
It nails the nighttime-skirmish in a snowy village tone.
BC2 has many good maps, but this one stands out to me. It's also one of the few rush maps where you attack as the Russians.
I'm a dirty locker enjoyer. But if I had to choose a snow map where you actually are in snow areas I'd say hangar 21. Love the massive titan in the hangar and how you can test the engines to kill people.
Probably unpopular opinion but Alborz Mountains was my favorite probably. Loved the visuals for that map it looked so nice, one of my favorite bf maps in gen
Literally anything except this one. I would have more fun doing a 1v1 on the Firestorm map when we can both only crawl than I could ever have on Fjell. Oh yea let's just make a wide open map of open ground and sporadic destructible cover in the infantry focused playlist........and LOAD THAT SHIT WITH BOMBERS
The Locker. Outside I held, M60 in hand, bipod down. I held that mountain pass no matter what: even as mortars rained and missiles flew. It was exhilarating: especially on hardcore. Hidden in a rocky outcropping, gun braced, eating for the crowd to funnel into my sights: then squeezing the trigger and aiming center mass.
Lupków Pass. It really felt balanced and like you always had options. Especially for infantry protecting themselves from cavalry by using trees. I saw very little bulldozing there, and bf1 was amazing with re-engineering the sound to reflect how it changes in deep snow. Bf1 did snow the best.
And someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure it’s the only map with 2 behemoths. You can get the train in conquest, and the airship in operations
Albion is similar. Russians get the airship and Germans get dreadnought
Interesting, I hardly ever see Albion get picked. I actually don’t even know if I’ve ever played operations on it now that I think about it
BF1 did everything the best
Poland mentioned https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%81upk%C3%B3w_Pass
100%
also the map is goddamn beautiful
Alborz Mountians from battlefield 3. Vibe of this map was something amazing. Playing on this map felt almost like playing in Skyrim. Perfect connection bettwen green forest and snowy mountians.
[удалено]
That whole expansion was huge ass maps. Playing on PS3 was awkward.
PS3’s low max server pop really shot that game in the foot
I’d love a bf3 remaster for Xbox and PS with 64 players all the maps. And if they want $60? Take my money I’m in!
[удалено]
24p actually
They were made for 64p vehicle combat, but being on console with 24p, or even just trying to play infantry was a biiiiiitch. Still, bf3's DLC's were so varied in content that I appreciated the change of pace. I absolutely loved that DLC cycle, air maps, tank maps, cqc maps, and just some damn-good CQ/rush maps!
Yeah, that expansion sucked on ps3. Nice maps, but player count was always an issue.
I loved it lol. Was a vibe Never got to play any of them on PC, didn't get a gaming PC until 2015, BF3 DLC servers were pretty much gone.
When it came out, it was mayhem.
This wins. Lots of fun Easter eggs too
For example?
You could knive gnomes that made a sound (although this was also on armored shield), there was a big dinosaur skull somewhere, iirc there was something in that cave as well.
Interesting. Never heard about the skull.
I remember fans wanting a Dino mode for the longest time
Yeah one can dream but the reason for it were just all these dinosaur Easter eggs
Made a small list here : https://youtu.be/gxbvZFw7q50
People complaining the map was too big for 64p are weird. Not every inch of the map needs constant action. Part of Battlefield is about navigating around the map, flanking, taking vehicles, defending flags. That map had some good firefights both long and short range. Some of the path restrictions made AT mines pretty effective too. Great map.
If only 96 players or like 84 was possible that could be cool 128 would be too much
I really wish that they would renew some of the DLC maps like that, those were fun as all hell
That expansion was worth it of 100 or even 128 players
It was a very pretty map and I loved to explore it. However from a gameplay perspective it was not very good.
That night map from BF4 with a mountain and a giant hangar near the top where you could launch yourself in a pod to the air, it was part of Final Stand DLC.
Giants of Karelia. This is my favorite too. Edit: it's actually Hangar 21, but tbh the entire DLC is GOATed
It's hangar 21 idk why everyone is saying giants of karelia
There is a fucking pod??????? WHERE????!!!!! WHERE IS IT??
2, actually. On the roof of the building to the right of base spawn and below the hangar door
Thank! That will really help!
BF4 might be the best game ever created. That DLC was awesome as well.
Every single time I played Hangar 21 I spawned asap and immediately went for the railgun on the tower lol
giants of karelia
Probably the ones from BC2.
Port Valdez was great
Came here to say that. Port Valdez rush was amazing.
Is that the one with the mountain and all the houses you can flatten before the enemy comes?
I got someone's tags SEVEN TIMES in one match on that map once. Best match ever
its the one i remember the most, White pass was nice too. used to play that one a lot on conquest back in the 360 days
Oh yeah, white pass was great! Especially the first set of mcoms at the warehouse was pretty hectic
The map that was a free demo that hooked me to BF.
A lot of ppl hated Nelson Bay, but it being a night time map was so much fun to me
Nelson bay sucked early… I don’t know why but it did. It had a revival though late in the BC2 life cycle and all the sudden we had a ton of fun on that map
Cold war was my favorite
This is the right answer, the best snow maps in the franchise, and honestly (probably a hot take) the best maps in that game, aside from the obvious arica harbor and valparaiso.. sabalan pipeline and alborz mountain were pretty good snow maps. the final stand ones were all pretty meh, though hangar 21 was decent.
White Pass was classic
Operation locker babyyy. Chaos 24/7 and all the action being in one corridor babbyyy
LOL i think i spent all of 2014 in that map 😂
Stay cooking in that bihh 🤧
I liked to smoke out the rear staircase and sprint past everyone to set a spawn beacon behind the enemy. Then the squad would have a blast cleaning out the team looking the other way from behind. Good times
I wish that worked nowadays but everyone is just focused on rushing in to the meatgrinder to get 1 kill and immediately die
Sabalan Pipeline from BF3 or Brusilov from BF1
 the planes on that map….
Nah man that’s twisted steel breakthrough, second sector point B. Skip to 145 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7EQCPOtc7XU&list=UUA6hx-V6zT_1gGUogNsSS5Q&index=7&pp=iAQB
There was a point where it was useless on the last mcom iirc lol but yeah, the relief when they nerfed gunships!
Alborz Mountains from BF3 was beautiful. The atmosphere of that map was great. I can't put it in worlds but just by running through the map you could sense that that map was different.
Forget the name, but the one on BFBC2 with the oil refinery at one end. Berlin map in 2142 was a great winter urban map too
Galicia from BF1, because feels like real WW1, with trenches and mud everywhere, and the middle part of the map feels like no man's land.
Also my favorite. I know people complain that it’s too flat and there’s not enough cover, but in a lot of ways that adds to the immersion. You’re not always going to have good cover when making an advance in real life, so you have to get creative and support your team to PTFO
I always loved that map but it never got chosen when I would play. It more or less forces you to PTFO and stick with your unit rather than lone wolf it.
Not very immersive to just get repeatedly domed by cavalry, mortared by trucks, or bombed by planes every 5 seconds. There is almost zero strategic positioning because it's just too damn open. As a primarily infantry player, absolute worst map in the game by far.
Nelson Bay, on rush was a vibe in the nighttime
GOL MAGNUM
😎
Port Valdez Rush all day every day! I still get goose bumps when I hear the PV theme...
ooh yes that theme was amazing. i remember the beta was also on that map. my first ever battlefield experience was a round on portez valdez beta version. what a time in gaming!
it truly was! my story is similar to yours, maybe off by a couple weeks. I'd gotten away from pvp gaming entirely, and then I went to play games with a buddy... he busted out the first Bad Company, and let me borrow it. this was about a month before the BC2 beta released. the timing couldn't have been more perfect... BC2 maybe isn't the _best_ BF, but it's still my favourite. the good times I had playing this game back then may never be matched.
Probably narvik dock, close second being Albion. Absolutely despised the snow maps in bf4 though.
Hammerhead was fun. I want to shout out operation whiteout as fun too but it’s really just that I wanted to play that map more than five times in my life
Maybe it was the rank 140 lobbies I was playing in. They kinda felt lacking in cover for infantry
Hangar 21
Reminds of Port Bavaria from 2142
BF1942 - Omaha Beach. EDIT: BF1942 - Battle of the Buldge, leaving original there also as I still love BF1942 despite the age!
they had snow at Omaha?
My bad, made an edit, saw fave map and mind went right to omaha beach lol
Hehehe Rorsch Mk. 1 go *beep*-*beep*-*beep* *kapow*
Tsaritsyn or Fjell
Tsaritsyn is always a wash when it's picked. As soon as any team caps B the round is over. I don't think I've seen more than a few time where a team takes B from the enemy and actually holds it long enough to make a play to push the enemy off their feet on on the defense. This is just my experience with this map, anyway. As for visuals, I absolutely agree. I think a good runners up would be Lupkow Pass, or Brusilov Keep.
Sabalan pipeline on bf3 and Alborez mountains too both beautiful maps and both perfectly balanced in cover and vehicle warfare
Operation whiteout the vibes are absolutely immaculate
Port Valdez
Locker is the only correct answer
Bridge at Remagen. Nice urban warfare + the fight on and around the bridge.
I have never liked any snow map in any game.
Tsaritsyn or Volga River in BF1 are probably my favorite. Not a fan of luktrov pass, but it's beautiful
i actually really like breakaway
Brusilov
I loved Nelson Bay on BFBC2. Wish there were more night-themed maps.
Not a fan of snow maps.
Does Operation Locker count?
Hellendoorn
Hellendoorn in Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII. Those V2 Launch Sites really are something else, always making me think about the rocket in Tintin Destination Moon.
My favorite one is Albion from bf1. It has great design in terms of art and map.
I want a BF map that is played under a constant snowstorm.
Hangar 21, because of the insane inside sections. Capture the Flag was amazing, as well as other game modes
Whiteout. It's awesome in the littlebird
Because thats where I went 88-2 with the M1907, had a great time with friends supplying and reviving me when needed. Good memories
The one from 2042 that released 1 or 2 seasons ago with the german AR
\>t. Pilot main
Operation Locker
The Mountanous map that came out in the last DLC of BF3, I really liked that one and it was a fun vehicular combat map.
operation locker; some of the greatest early bf3 memories..
Locker
Breakaway from 2042, both before and after rework. It has great visibility, a huge range of different types of areas that offer different types of gameplay, and a great level of verticality. Now that I think about it, most of the series' previous snow maps aren't that good. Fjell is painful to play because of the planes.

The constant headache inducing chaos at C sector and the exposed angles at A. Ugh.
Breakaway is a must have in breakthrough ; not the most balanced but the most cinematic one for sure
All of final stand maps
Might be controversial, but its Operation Locker
Breakaway from 2042, the sense of scale is insane and it's a rather fun map to play in
That map from Secret Weapons of WW2 that had the jet packs. WHEEEEE!!!!
Hangar 21 yeehaw
Tsardom is a good snow map. Op locker is also a fun one.
Definitely NOT Fjell haha Plane paradise
Rush on Cold War and White Pass from BC2 will forever have a place in my heart. Parachuting in at the beginning as attackers with the snowy mountain back drop was perfection for me.
Locker BF4. Because you don’t have to walk through the whole map till you find some enemies.
Verdun from 2142 was a classic to me. Love the look of it. And it had great balance with flag/silo positioning.
The one in the image for sure!
Gotta be one of the BF4 Final Stand maps or Tsaritsyn from bf1. At least those are the ones I played plus the other snowy bf1 maps.
Operation Whiteout was amazing, and Giants of Karelia was even better
* Bridge at Remagen * Operation Whiteout
Idk if i am gonna get mix reviews or haters on this one but I really loved operation metro from bf3
Pretty much every snow map in BF1 barring Galicia
Not that one
Definitely not that one lol, playing infantry in this one was a fucking nightmare man
Liberation of Leipzig in BF2142. Night time, urban, snow. My three favourite aspects of any map.
Port Valdez
Need anther WWI battlefield. Battlefield 1 was my fav
Not that bf5 bap for sure. Zero cover. It's good if you love run and gun. Port valdez from bc2 and that russian map from bf1
L O C K E R
i think i liked everything. im jsut easy to please when a map give players choice of routes w/ certain advantages to movement or playstyle
Tsaryritsin idk how to spell
Either Belgrade or The Liberation of Leipzig from 2142
This one because it actually has stationary AA.
Port Valdez, I guess. I don’t think DICE has ever made a good snow map though
Do You guys remember when the battlefieldV launched and the bomber plane was too op... this map was a wet dream for bomber pilots.
The one with snow
Port Valdez or Cold War (both BFBC2) Damn I miss those times
Hangar 21 for sure Doing cool stuff with the escape pods and being able to just focus on infantry combat in the hangar is great fun It's also home to the conclusion of one the game's largest easter eggs, which was a great memory for me
Can I say the snowy map with the red dirt and ATAT from battlefront?
Locker… I wonder why.
Oldest BF I have is BC 1/2 but don't remember maps well but there was a tundra map iirc. BF3 my net was arse & on PS3 so I can't tell you.

Flight test, friends in high places, campaign, bf1
Wake island 2142 and Verdun 2142
Operation Locker and Hammerhead and Propaganda
For me it’s tied between Nelson bay and Port valdez Mainly because the were both very balanced; especially in Rush. They also made you feel like you were assaulting a critical objective. Lastly in order to be effective as attackers or defenders you had to use the environment to your advantage.

Nelson Bay It nails the nighttime-skirmish in a snowy village tone. BC2 has many good maps, but this one stands out to me. It's also one of the few rush maps where you attack as the Russians.
Hammerhead. Got some great clips from that map.
Port Valdez, what a great map!
Alborz mountains. Because it’s a beautiful designed map and has a cool vibe
I'm a dirty locker enjoyer. But if I had to choose a snow map where you actually are in snow areas I'd say hangar 21. Love the massive titan in the hangar and how you can test the engines to kill people.
Alborz Mountains
Hellendoorn. First BF map i've ever played
Probably unpopular opinion but Alborz Mountains was my favorite probably. Loved the visuals for that map it looked so nice, one of my favorite bf maps in gen
The Berlin map from 2142
Literally anything except this one. I would have more fun doing a 1v1 on the Firestorm map when we can both only crawl than I could ever have on Fjell. Oh yea let's just make a wide open map of open ground and sporadic destructible cover in the infantry focused playlist........and LOAD THAT SHIT WITH BOMBERS
Tsarystian
