Has anyone jumped into a server with it running? How was the stability? ect.

So I've gotten more "rubber band effect" than before the patch.

The new maps are a pretty mixed bag.
They are all really big. All have big hills and/or mountains.
Guilin Peaks - really good - the best of the bunch I would say.
Altai Range - a good map.
Dragon Pass & Silk Road - are both just Okay - with silk being my least favorite as it is a desert map.

Haven't played any yet. Not sure I will until we run them.

Haven't played any yet. Not sure I will until we run them.

I think the best thing would be to wait a week and see which ones are running well. Also where the population goes.

I am, and have always been, a fan of "all maps."

Even maps I dislike, i will play from time to time. (Minding if they are not played ALL the time. Think Dust/Dust2 for CounterStrike)

It is just a matter of getting a different environment. Having to be fluid to play ANYWHERE. So many people are only ever "good" at "one or two" maps. I would rather just have fun on a whole bunch of maps than play the same 5 or so all of the time.

So I am all for expansions. I am all for playing more. I am all for more maps.

Unfortunately, I am of a minority in this subject.

I barely played any last night... think I played a lush mountain map, domination mode, and it was... boring to say the least. Then again, Domination is a shit map mode beyond 8v8, it's Call of Duty for BF.

Hopefully we can start playing some on this server, hell, I'd suggest updating the map rotation. Remove the excessively large and laggy maps like Paracell and Golmund.

Also, rubber banding is back since the update, and I also doubt the 1 hit kill bug has been fixed. I've honestly been killed more often in a single hit than anything... especially from LMG and Assault rifles. I honestly don't care usually if a sniper 1 hits(that's the entire purpose of the weapon and class) or a short range shotgun hit(even with body armor, a shotgun blast will knock you out...).

Hopefully we can get some new maps in the rotation, since it feels like we've played our current setup to death. I know I have.

I'd suggest:

The new maps:

Guilin Peaks
Altai Range
Dragon Pass
Silk Road

+

Siege of Shanghai (great map, not currently in rotation)
Operation Locker (good infantry map, if they'd add another passageway other than inside/outside)
Zavod 301 (great map, besides the AA campage...if I could man the M182 every game I would... just to nuke fucking AA tanks)
Hanoi Resort (great map, not currently in rotation)

I playd conq large on almost every map. A ton of armor friendly maps. And the lush mountain top one that reminded me of bfbc2:Vietnam (only quads / dirtbikes on that map)

[Apache Warrior]

I also think the one shot kill is still around. I died so many times because of one shot kills with pistols, carbines and lmgs.

Not sure about the 1 shot kill, but rubber banding is worse! I didn't experience once before this update. Now I get it several times a game. Another non-fix fix.

[deejank]

the maps are so big more than half of them are geared towards vehicle play i would say. the motorcycle is interesting, not sure if i like it yet

[FrOgM]

love them ...nice change of style to the game can laser and jav on these maps that's how you gotta play them so you don't get ran over from armor

[Schultzy]

I played a good bit last night. I enjoy the new maps, as I expected.

They each have a quirk that bugs me. For example, the desert map feels like it's only half finished.
The lush forest map feels compact and over crowded with... nothing.
The mountain map has many "invisible" bumps
The last map, I don't know how to to describe it, but it doesn't feel like it flows well.


But none-the-less, I enjoyed all of them.
