I just played a few rounds on Sharqi, Karkand and Wake.

Well, it's Sharqi, Karkand and Wake . I can't see myself playing the vanilla maps again anytime soon, except when they pop up in server rotations.

The buffed jet cannon is spoiling Wake at the moment. I was destroying all the helicopters as they were trying to get to the island. And destroying all the rubbish F-35s. But hey it's Wake. Maybe they crippled the US on that map deliberately for nostalgic purposes.

I never expected this expansion to be this good tbh. The vanilla maps are pure shit compared to these.

So does that mean no more Metro 24/7?

Wake is pretty meh unless you are in a chopper or Jet on the russian side. So I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same, eh?

so it's basically exactly the same as wake always was?

good to see

Unfortunately no.

They have really messed Wake up.

US start at the Carrier as they used to with choppers, jets and a couple of boats downstairs.
The Amtrak vehicle spawns at the old US arty island.
Unfortunately they also have 2 uncaps (one on the north peninsular and one on the south peninsular) with a couple of jeeps at each.

It used to be all about an air/sea assault on the island and half the match was trying to get that first foothold on the island.

Now it's far too easy for the US team to just spawn on the island, grab a jeep and be at north or south base within 20 seconds.

The entire "assault the island" thing has gone bye bye.

The RU team are at a real disadvantage.
They can have their airfield (an thus their entire air arsenal) taken away very easily.
The way to win as Chinese (old BF2) was to keep the US team off the island altogether.
That is no longer possible.

One good thing they have done is put the RU jet spawn inside hangers at the airfield flag.
Pity that's about the only positive change on Wake.

you played the small conquest version

normal cq has 5 points and no island uncaps

I feel that they added the small version as a "oh fuck what if BF2 happens again" thing

The only thing I don't like about this new karkand is the amount of buildings you can go into now. It adds more camping BS to the level. It fucked up the map but it's still better than alot of the Vanilla maps.

I don't get how you can dick ride this game so much. The shitty game play mechanics didn't change just because they brought back some maps we played in 05.

The game still sucks. It just sucks in familiar maps now.

Air brakes I believe. Also, F35 isn't suppose to take off virtually in real life.(When load with ammunitions.) I find the F35 to be a joke now in the entertainment industry.

They should make destruction a server side option.

Looking cool in the trailer.

In all seriousness though, was there ever? It was just good for messing about and getting you killed.

I played some Oman earlier and it's the most changed level of the bunch by far.

From what I've seen of Karkand and Sharqi, there are minor changes at the flags but things are mostly the same, Oman on the other hand has been almost completely revamped. It feels a bit too cluttered for driving around, but I really like the new construction site flag.

Flew the F35 on Oman today. What were they thinking?
I got shot down by a stinger, because I couldn´t turn fast enough. Luckily, the enemy team was so übershit at flying, that I had no problem to shoot them down with the flying brick. And hovering towards a tank chopper style is funny for 5 minutes

It reduces speed very abruptly though, so maybe the to-go move is braking hard and making the enemy overshoot. Top Gun style.
