One of the upcoming map packs for Battlefield 4 Premium is "Second Assault," which takes "fan-favorite" maps from Battlefield 3 and remixes them to support key features from Battlefield 4. Today, during a Europe vs USA showdown, DICE revealed exactly which maps will be remade.

Caspian Border (pictured), Operation Metro, Gulf of Oman and Operation Firestorm will all be reworked for Battlefield 4, with "Levolution" of course. As part of an exclusivity deal with Microsoft, it will be available first on Xbox One, with other platforms to follow later.

  ugh, metro...i guess they need at least one spawn/spam/grenade/die map for people to grind on. i do like the other three maps a lot. very large and should work well with the BF4 improvements.

      lockdown is way way more fun than metro. it's got more twisting and side passages and a useable outdoor area. it just doesn't feel as confined and spammy.

        It's still pretty bad with over 32 players.

        It's actually worse, I think. The outside part is a huge sniper fest, and the inside has even tighter chokepoints. Locker basically funnels everyone through a tiny corridor.
        
        Metro is pretty fun on 24 man Rush.

    I think if they redo metro with an over and under section, and a levolution event opening from street to subway... Whoa.
    
    That would fix the complaints that people have of eliminating the three major choke points.

  Caspian and Firestorm are good maps, so I'm OK with that. I could take or leave Oman and Metro I'll take my leave of whenever it comes up in the rotation.

    Why do people dislike Oman? I think Firestorm is the boring map.

        That map is so much fun for taking an ATV and gunning it down the side of a mountain at 200 km/h.

    Except they should have redone the heli spawns on sharqi in bf3. You should not be able to shoot each the instant you spawn. Such a stupid idea. Similar reason why wake sucked as well.

        Karkand is still the best designed BF map ever made in my books..

  We can only hope they fix the myriad of problems with the game itself rather than worrying about absconding with more customers' money for a clunky game experience. :(
