Only played a few rounds but so far I think DICE is just trolling us at this point
It is a mess and that is about all I can say without been temp banned again.
Also DICE sort the desync out!
I peaked over the edge of the bridge, ducked down, ran 2 metres then died to the person UNDERNEATH the bridge that had already shot and killed me when I peaked.
Absolute joke of a game.
I played Breakthrough.
It is better, but mainly due to one sector, B.Sector B is awesome, I don't know why they didn't make a map with 3 of those types of sectors. You can have air combat, vehicular combat, infantry combat, and mixed combat all in and around B1 and B2. There is verticality with the underground areas, and safe routes of passage for Infantry. I really liked that area, one of the best sectors of all the maps for BT.
Then you get to C1, and it is literally fish in a barrel with little to no cover to get to the point. There is absolutely nothing but sand on either side of the points, and defenders have high ground AND cover. What sucks is, this is it, they aren't gonna change anything again. I just don't know how you could make Sector B so good, then make a point like C1 and think it is comparable.So from a D- map to a C+ map, and that is about all you can ask for.
The stadium wasn't in BT, so it's removal has no impact, though it would've been epic to have the B sector with tunnels lead to the stadium. Another missed opportunity there.
bad on 64-player conquest and downright atrocious on 128...
i didn't think they could make a map worse but here they went and proved me wrong yet again.... GG DICEI don't understand, why 64. It was already my favorite one and now it feels smaller? Cause someone cried about walking simulator? For real? -.-
EDIT: All they actually had to do is improve cover, maybe change some flags but not move them away. Stadium was hot. A1 Flag was Very HOT. Completely different map now.
EDIT2: Like literally cut out content. :D
EDIT3: Newborn can shoot air with TOR, everything is closer.
