It's a good point of view, but in practice I don't see this happening, there are so many paths, so much rush, that I don't see the team adjusting to create a strategy, What I perceive is reactive gameplay.
It's an interesting map for rush, but the proposal to be a replacement for Metro or Locker doesn't make sense, the essence of the gameplay is not the same.
Metro will always be a top BF map to me. I just love the spam
I understand your point and appreciate it. However, I think that in one way or another Redacted doesn't have the same essence as Locker or Metro. It is a map that arrived to add value, but not to replace.
It's great to play Redacted, but some of us would like all that explosive spam from Locker or Metro, I confess that at times in BF4 it was annoying, but then I would choose another map, and then go back to Locker when I missed that style of game.
I think similar to hardcore, I'm not a fan but sometimes it's interesting to play. I think it's worth presenting maps that appeal to different styles, in addition, BF4's Battelog is full of Locker, more than other maps, so there is a very high demand.

@leonardoleonwfIts what made Metro and Locker so stupid gameplay speaking. All 64 meatbags are funneled into same 2 corridors and stay in one place tossing explosives at each other.
On Redacted there is actually tactics involved. You have to keep an eye on opening and all the different corridors because if a single dedicated squad sneaks past you, there will be alot of problems.
Yep I agree with this, there's little better feeling than sneaking behind the enemy lines and back-capping their home spawn A/D location and then they have to split off and re-take it, giving your team a chance.
I loved Metro and enjoyed Locker, but I will fully admit that the stalemate at B in Metro wasn't great gameplay, as much as it was great for leveling with revives/resupplies/grenade launcher kills/etc. You would get the occasional good flank with some teamwork, but most of the time it would be stuck.
I'll say that redacted, on the few rounds that I've played so far on breakthrough is a complete slaughter at A. The closest I found was the flag half-taken then taken back by defenders. Maybe more tactics will come around or something, but it really doesn't seem hard to lock down the 3-ish paths to the flag from the defense side. Maybe it opens up more after that point, but reminds me a lot of spawn camping in Metro in the subway or the base where it is damn difficult to push out of those locations.
