The new Stadium map needs the anti gadget EMP function of the drone back.

Only my very first round on the new map !!!

I just joined a server where I was defending on Stadium Breakthrough.

The attacker team  was full of snipers on top of the bridge up on their spawn point head glitching from the railing.

they kept their beacons behind the big truck container thing and placed  APS sentinels up there to defend both their beacons and themselves from Lissiles and Airburst.

Pre season 7 this would be countered with the Casper drone blowing up the APS and the beacons to make their camping life harder.

Now thanks to the short sightedness of  the complete removal of the EMP from the drone (instead of just disabling it for vehicles) one side has the perfect camping and sniping perch that allows them  to be extremely annoying to the other side as well as being too busy camping in their comfort zone to help their team get bodies on the objective.

-------------

Please put the EMP back on the Casper drone >_< this is getting really stupid now.

PS: It might be possible to still make the drone carry C5 all the way to the campers + beacons if the snipers are completely blind to their surroundings but this is too much of an investment compared to EMPing everything up there with the drone

By the way, since you nerfed the C5 of the recon down to 2, might as well put the speed of the C5 loaded drone back to its earlier levels since it can no longer OHK tanks unless one puts extra c5 from other players on it (and most BF players will rather wipe their butt with  the back of a live hedgehog than to work together)

  • Also noticed if you try to fly the casper drone high in CQ mode, you get stupid "out of bounds warnings" and drone explodes.  The warning kicks in when the drone is pretty low - a lot lower than on other maps - I assume this is a bug.

    Now that you mention it, the drone will probably not even be able to spend much time at all in the bridge I am talking about since it is an attacker spawn zone...

    So this bridge is even more of an unassailable safe fort than I thought.
    DICE goofed on that bridge a lot.
  • @UP_Hawxxeye The Casper Drone should have the EMP function restored for the whole game. It was the sexy part of that gadget. You had to come in low risking the drone. Now the drone is still the best spotting tool but it's not as fun or interesting. It has no offensive capability anymore.
