So Stadium launches in a few hours time.
Once you have played a few rounds it would be good to gather your feedback. 👍

Without even playing yet, I think I can draw some conclusions from the map layout.
Over half of the map is still a mostly flat desert. I fear it will be a snipefest.

It seems also crazy how over half of the map is team specific spawn zones.
My prediction is I will get killed a lot by grenade spam this afternoon

Yeah I think that is a safe bet. 😁 - @RayD_O1 Everyone will be inside and it will become a claustrophobic space. Like others pointed out grenades will be everywhere. I watched a few with early access and it was a cluster lol.
Yeah I can well imagine. 😌
Things are going to get pretty hectic in there, that's for sure.
I predict a lot of spawn locking and spawn camping like in Haven. From what I saw of the preview events the base spawns inside the stadium will be a slaughterfest if the enemy hold the flags nearest to them. Just sit on those flags and spam explosives towards the enemy base as people spawn. Didn't see anything but hope there are other ways out of those stadium base spawns other than through the flags nearest to them....
What's funny is that the last 3 maps have all been infantry focussed and it's taken DICE this long to realise that everyone hates vehicles in 2042 😃
@MADMAC50K
I love vehicles.
I love using vehicles and I love blowing up vehicles on foot or from a vehicle.
DICE set up 2042 so that using most vehicles feel bad to control and if you lose your vehicle you will most likely lose the slot to another player who will most often be worse at using the vehicle than you are (I would be happy if the next guy is better at the job than me and I would help as much as I can).
That said, DICE took too long to add a good variety of maps in 2042. Infantry Cluster maps are important for a lot of players and useful for most of the other players for progression reasons- @UP_Hawxxeye I think the vehicle balance has been all wrong in 2042 since launch. They feel clunky to use, how you access them, the number and types available on each map are often wrong. They are often too OP for infantry to deal with effectively, have too many counter measures, and don't promote their use in a defined role on the battlefield e.g. AA should be rewarded more for shooting down air vehicles, heavy armour should be rewarded more for destroying other armour, light armour for infantry, attack helos for heavy armour, jets for helos etc. etc. - to reward and encourage their use in a defined role and more vehicle on vehicle combat. At the moment it's much easier just to farm infantry as there is little motivation to seek out other vehicles.
The wait is over, time to try it out and see how it plays.
