I've not had chance to play it yet but have watched a couple of streams. It looks like a mixed bag.
Downtown B C & D are great reworks but C-D needs more cover.
The bridge could use more cover with twice as many wrecked cars and trucks.
I'd have removed A1 before I'd have removed the stadium. Removing the stadium is a big disappointment. Those copy and paste, completely empty small buildings at A1 are an eye sore even though they are at least destructible assets.
The new underground area is a welcomed addition but also not at the expense of losing stadium.
Still loads of empty space even though they've scaled the overall size down.
All in all it's better, but expected better.
I think this current team just needs to stop designing maps now, Just port old legacy maps from previous games and update where possible. This current team has been an abject failure imho.
Having played a few more rounds I feel that even with the additional wrecked vehicles, cover and debri etc the setting still feels a bit too pristine for a warzone.
I think the sand itself looks too clean and neat and still a blt bright in colour for my liking.it almost feels a bit cartoonish.
Although this doesn't affect the overall gameplay, imho it sort of takes away from the immersion factor and that feeling of being there.
I acknowledge the work that has gone into the rework but I personally I would just like it all to be a bit dirtier / more dark and gloomy as I think it would look and feel more realistic.
- @RayD_O1 Yep. hourglass and Kaleidoscope are very poor efforts. I was super hyped about these two maps in the trailers but they are shockingly bad when you compare them to Seige of Shangai as an example, that's now a decade old. They lack so much detail and offer extremely little actual urban combat.
