I have only played 2 rounds (conquest), but my experience was pretty good, no spawn traps and the matches were pretty even - one game was won by US and the other by RUS. Perhaps I was just lucky.
Infantry has a much better time on this map, compared to other maps, which I find refreshing. The layout is better than the last map we got (less height variation, but more cover).
The layout is a harder on the russians, and the playable area is small, but perhaps we just need to play the map for some time.
For me it has the looks of BF4 and plays like a smaller BF1/BFV-map.
My main issue is the explosive spam, it seems like BF2042 still has a way to go regarding balance of explosives. Infantry has too many explosives and this should be addressed by Dice.
