Maps too cramped and cluttered
Having played the game for some time know at friends and at my place I think the maps are too cramped. Hear me out on this one. Although the maps are bigger in this sequel, they feel a lot more cramp...

That is exactly what I am talking about. They are gearing the game a lot more towards the regular and core shooting players and did forget why people loved the first game in the first place. It plays very different online compared to the original. And unfortunately not better. You can notice this in garden ops as well which has gotten a lot harder. The normal mode now has the difficulty of the old hard mode.
No it doesn't. You probably just haven't gotten a proper feel to it yet because Normal Mode Garden Ops are easy. And no matter what way you look at it, Garden Ops wasn't the focus of this game. It's not gonna be the thing that makes you decide to buy the game. The main focus was obviously the multiplayer (and you aren't even getting a proper feel of that either because of all these Rose shenanigans) and on expanding the single player content. And having spent ages collecting Gnomes I can easily say -they did real good on the single player. The Backyard Battleground has a lot more to it then what you'd think. Like if you spend too much time in it, heroes and bosses just start spawning and- I'm getting off track. The original point of this comment was that Garden Ops hasn't gotten a lot harder. And personally I think this game is better than the original.
What the deciding factor for the purchase is, is different for different people. I could say the same thing about the backyard. The game at heart is still a multiplayer game. No one buys it for a singleplayer mode that doesnt really have a story or just roaming around by yourself. See what I mean? The reason I buy a game might be different than yours, doesnt make it any more wrong though.
And I still believe that the difficulty to garden ops has been raised. Doing Garden Ops on normals has never been a real task in the first game. Even with obly 2 people in Splitscreen. Within a couple of matches 10 waves were very doable. Now waves feel a lot longer with certain enemies taking more damage. There is just a different flow. Has nothing to do with map knowledge either. I played this game for more than 30 hours already and know my way around and which maps I like and which I dont.
I still hope they will make adjustments to the maps though I highly doubt it. That would be too much work. But so far part 1 delivered the better experience no matter what mode. Whether it be Garden Ops or any of the Mulitplayer modes, the game was more fun and the maps were better. Sure now there is singleplayer but I dont care that much for that mode.

I didn't say the Single player was the main focus. I said the main focus of the game was on the Multiplayer and expanding the Single player, which it was. And I'll stop talking about the Single player after saying one last thing: The reward is worth the exploration. And again, Garden Ops isn't any harder. Maybe you're really bad at the game, or maybe you're getting unlucky with slots or team members; but Garden Ops is easy. Admittedly it becomes a slight challenge on Hard and Crazy, but on Normal and Easy it's no problem at all.
- Pretty much every mp match I play I finish among the top 3 players. Not using Rose. No I am def. not bad at the game. Furthermore I actually test games for a living as I am a games journalist full time and played this game at E3 and previous play testing events even before the beta. And part 1 is by far my most played game this gen. And I love this one too. But it is just noticable that they are gearing it towards a bit of a different audience. This is not necessairily a bad thing but might dissapoint fans of the first game.

However, a bit off topic, I really like the split screen options as it lets me play the different game modes with my kids.
