3 people sums up the whole patch? Hitreg takes a while getting used to, you start to aim for lagging hitboxes after quite some time of playing, hence aiming at the actual hit model is difficult (I've missed 8 TV shots in a row on LAN, rarely do I miss one a game)

Hopefully you're right mate. All I know is I usually murder everything when I have an AK-47 and I just kept shooting through people today. I haven't played on that server before so I can't compare it for hitreg, although ping was great. Something definitely felt weird.

I like the new map though, it's awesome based on the limited experience I had.

wish my original download worked

Either that flag needs to be neutral (which I think it does like Snake suggests regardless) or the USMC need another direction to attack from. A parachute spawn could aid their assault from the river. Maybe the fog could be increased as well so that things coming over the river can't be seen until much later.

Well one thing I think would help would be to widen the map limits

The river is too narrow and if it's wider than the Marines would have more room to flank.

I think that what DICE really should do is not alter the current flags, but add another, neutral flag on the islands just south of the Market. That way the Marines could take that point with the RIBs, the APCs could still be used to strong-point market, and the amphibious assault remains intact but now the Marines can land easier.

I do really like the map, it is a bit like Wake in the sense its quite hard for the USMC to gain some ground, but it can be done.

I just played 3 rounds of this map online, 15v15 for the most part on the 64 player map. Played twice as PLA and once as USMC. PLA won all 3 rounds by a mile. Even with 15v15 it was a challange to get across, but it was eventually done, but with the US lacking armour, we couldn't hold enough points to even get a chance. I think it definetly needs some balancing US wise.

Tip: Theres a promising route going far left starting at the harbour, following the boundery line to a nice small lake...Don't take, its a death trap!
If you've played it and done this, you'll laugh

I led an entire squad down there and we all died

Ya know what, that could work - but also on the island due east of the Harbour HQ (northern-most flag). If that island was opened up, the US could land their boats there and push over on the land.
This would bring in squad leaders as mobile spawn points, and by pushing out the map boundary, would enable them to just about do it under cover of fog from the Temple flag.

A neutral flag wont work, if the US fail to get there first or lose that flag you are straight back to square one. Something has to be changed to make it possible for the US to get to the beach. A blackhawk, a wider map, a secondary uncap (like sharqi) to attack from multiple directions, or a combination of them all.

Very true - same applies to Dalian and even Oman to an extent. However, once the US get a flag or two, if they have armour spawning there, it shouldn't be a problem unlike on Dalian where they get dominated by helis/jets.

Posted on GA, thought I'd share here.

Mod Edit: Only discussion about the new map in this thread please.

Other patch 1.5 discussion in this thread.

It's like Songhua and Karkand had a baby and named it Pearl.

Just played a couple of games as US on OBP. I missed the start of the first game but the US got several flags and the fighting was dominated by armor. The US got zero flags in the second game because the PLA AT rockets stopped every attack.

The US can do fine if two or three squads travel to the Harbor Office flag in a pack of APCs with an engineer in each one. But none of my teammates went as engineer and they didn't coordinate their attacks at all.

I haven't played the new map, let alone downloaded the patch, but wouldn't implementing jetskies on OpBP increase the USMC's chances of making it ashore?

(don't flame me if this suggestion has been made before :p)
