Exposure Map Review

The new map.

The new map is good but like all the other ones it's too big. I'm sure the fly boys and snipers love it as there's miles of open ground to farm infantry. Most of the objectives are a no go area on foot and are too far apart. Acres of lovely open ground for you to be picked off by a sniper or murdered by a helicopter. The central mountain area is the only place to get away from aircraft but then you run into the flying squirrels problem.....

It is a a step in the right direction though because the map looks like it's been finished at least.

The 64 player version is much better. Can you please put a 64 player 24/7 version in so I don"t have to spend 75% of my time running.

Net code and hit registration.

You stated in the patch notes these have been "improved". Are you joking or something? It is clearly worse than before. It's infuriating at this stage. I have the crosshair firmly on the target and all the bullets magical pass through them.

The new specialist.

Meh... One more broken gadget isn't going to make a huge difference at this stage.

Overall performance.

High end PC performance is even worse than before. I had little or no issues with performance outside of the know problem for high end graphics cards crashing (Turning off XMP fixed that problem for me). That was until this patch and now the game is a stuttering laggy mess even on 64 player modes. My FPS is high but the game stutters and glitches. This combined with the hit reg problems make the game extremely frustrating to play. What's the point in new content when the basics aren't even right?

You wiped all my settings.

Last night the game de-synced from the cloud. I had to load in with local saved settings. Had to go through the opening sequence of the game again to get in and play. This was a mild inconvenience at best. Loaded in today and it's syncing correctly but all my settings were wiped had to spend ages in the menu's trying to fix everything. Again more frustration.......

Sound.

The sound appears to be worse. Now this could well be that I've not found the setting I had before you wiped my settings out I'm not sure.

Weapon balance.

The K30 still outperforms the AK at ranges where the AK should dominate. I can tap fire and kill an enemy at 100m easily with the K30 while it is a struggle with the AK. This is partially down to the hit reg being so broken but not entirely.

I hate being forced to use a weapon that's clearly broken because you can't be bothered to fix it. It's a case of use the K30 or die....

You improved the accuracy of shotguns...........As if they weren't broken enough already. SMH....

General observations.

Why does it take an eternity after you are revived to be able to reload your weapon or heal up or drop a crate? Is this a feature or another broken bit of the game?

Why is it when I'm firing full auto there's a pause/stutter in the middle of the clip when using the AK?

Why are you still making players spawn into the most unbelievably stupid places at flags?

Overall I find the season 1 content underwhelming at best.  I'd probably be more enthusiastic if it hadn't made the game a significantly worse experience all round for me.

a reasonably good step in the right direction, it's a little bit on the lite side content wise but it's new and that's what the game needed.  We need way more than this though.  Maps and guns are the two most important things missing. 

EDIT.

I've edited my opinion above as I've fixed some of the issues.  I DDU'd the drivers and reinstalled a fresh set and the game is more or less how it was before.  I didn't update,  it was the very same driver albeit a fresh copy. I was obviously salty when I wrote it because the game was just horrendous to play. All good now though 🥰🥰🥰
