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

@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.
As for the new map - I quite liked it. It is super easy to get spawn locked though, just like Redacted and Haven. Like Haven the outside spawns are too close to the first flags with little routes to escape. To escape the US spawn outside you also have to run up a large dune which is a high point on the map - so enemy snipers at A flag can easy pick you off even before you've started. The run from US spawn to A needed better cover.
Inside is better - more like Redacted. Does quickly become a 'nade-fest like Redacted, but there are plenty of routes and flanking paths to get around choke points.
I played a round on the new stadium map and I have to say it's good. It's a similar experience to the original hourglass map we had. Now imagine this, we had this close combat fight also a huge map attached to it. You could fly here you could parachute here you could be on a rooftop somewhere and then come over here for a good closed quarters combat fight. All on the same map. The original hourglass was one of the best battlefield maps in my opinion if you're a battlefield fan not a COD fan. Dice made a huge mistake listening to all the COD people. The original hourglass had everything. You could just stay all day in the stadium if you liked this experience. You could go on top of the stadium start to snipe if you like or could call in a vehicle and go away, it was AMAZING!!!!
I hate myself for saying this but I really like it. I dunno. I just have had a fun time with it.
Breakthrough has no cover for attackers
Smoking doesn't do anything because they just grenade the cap point and can see through the smoke

Your issue is solved on multiple levels by picking Irish
He can deploy both cover and anti grenade measures.
- We were playing this map yesterday for a few rounds and in TeamSpeak we had some discussion if this is indeed the worst infantry map of the entire series.
BF3 Metro might have been worse on 64p servers, but was enjoyable on 32 and below.
We play since BF1942 and could not think of any map that had less predictability and actual flow/design than this one. Can you?
