So, what are your thoughts on the maps and assignments now that they're out after a substantial delay? Go ahead, don't hold back.
From Lvlcaps videos it looks very interesting. Blowing up the radar making it tumble upon the wall.
That doesnt mean the maps are perfect though. There are some issues on all of them with clipping and glitches and all that.
I also do like the little levolution items in the maps. Working elevators, gates, underground bunkers, collapsing walls, etc...
Caspian: an antenna is now located in the middle of the map (on the hill), which all it does is allow masses of people to parachute down continuously to capture any base. Also, the RU mobile AA can shoot down helicopters in the US base without even having to leave its own base? the US chopper can't even take off.
Oman: the sandstorm is pretty cool, but why is it out in the ocean?
My biggest gripe right now is commanders. They need either 2 commanders or none option. When one team gets continuous UAV on a map like metro, it just unbalances the entire round. And why do UAV's respawn after 5 seconds??
Air is dead. MAA needs those "adjustments" quick.
The tower on caspian can be brought down.
Sandstorms can come from the ocean. The sand did not start there, but it has to do with crossing sand and going into jetstreams and some other stuff I kinda get but not really.
