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.

It was always the best part of the map. When they said they were redesigning it, I thought they would've left the stadium in as one of the points.
I am glad it is back.
