Just played a few rounds on the new maps and really like them both! The Laguna Presa rush is simply awesome, so vast you never know which way enemy comes, compared to other rush maps where it's head on constantly. I'd give advantage on attackers, where mostly it's defenders.

Africa Harbour Conquest is like the city maps in BF2142 and obviously made to please those 'inf only' mode likers. Reminded me of Borderlands "horde wave is coming" Never a dull moment there, if it moves, shoot.

Good thing about that map is that you can't really camp there, snipers with 12x scopes are useless. I'm sure people will still try, but you get a lot more points running in the center of things.

Yeah I played a couple rounds but I didn't see any clanners.
No TPU in front of their names any way. That is about all I have
time for on week days. I went 3 days before I even did those 2.
Friday I hope to rank up to eight

OK i got four little rants to say about this game so far:

1. Apparently you CANT save server search preferences, so every time i want to look for a server, i have to tick all of my preferences......gets annoying.

2. Apparently you CANT choose servers by ping, so you are pretty much playing your luck to get a non-laggy server.

3. Why the F are the controls for the helicopter different to the UAV, R+F?...i've never heard of those keys used while flying, i've tried changing them, but noooo they HAVE to be be different keys.

4. Still hating on the UAV, why is the inversion control opposite to the helicopter?....if i turn off "inverted flight" to fly the heli, then the UAV would be inverted...and vice/versa


-I like the game but those little things, and i say "little" for a reason. Annoy me every now and then.

I think this one is because they wanted to make it easier to hover the UAV whereas they wanted to keep the skill level required to hover helicopters higher. It is near impossible to crash the UAV, but a well flown UAV is almost harmless compared to a well flown (and gunned) helicopter. If helicopters were as easy to fly as the UAV, there would be little chance for the opposing team.

2. Apparently you CANT choose servers by ping, so you are pretty much playing your luck to get a non-laggy server. - ridiculous, you should be able to order by any column.

3. Why the F are the controls for the helicopter different to the UAV, R+F?...i've never heard of those keys used while flying, i've tried changing them, but noooo they HAVE to be be different keys. -don't get it , but it doesn't bother me either.

4. Still hating on the UAV, why is the inversion control opposite to the helicopter?....if i turn off "inverted flight" to fly the heli, then the UAV would be inverted...and vice/versa -UAV flies differently, a LOT easier, so it doesn't seem to be an issue for me. I also use a controller for a chopper and mouse/kb for UAV


-I like the game but those little things, and i say "little" for a reason. Annoy me every now and then. -exactly , they are not game breaking but they add up after so many hours
also it doesn't save your weapon loadouts. i don't see how this can be difficult. and for some reason it looks like it would have to be done ON the server, each server - which is stupid.

totally valid points i think. as you said not huge but they can get annoying.

Most servers I've seen save load outs from round to round I thought? I know the VA server doesn't. They don't save them from game session to game session though.

i don't want to have to set them every time i run the game. first time i log in every time i have to set it. a lot of times i forget and load with the basic assault kit.

i realize i could try and remember harder - but it shouldn't be that much to ask. like anyone will ever default to the basic kit once they have unlocked anything, let alone most everything.

It's a shame that only a few people will really read that thread. It’s a valid and HUGE problem for a game of this supposed caliber. I hope it gets addressed soon because I certainly want to be playing this game for more than 3 months!

yeah . even tpuers thought the VA server was down, not knowing to search for it. could we expect any pubs to think of that?

I do have to agree some of the problems are just plain stupid. just doing things the accepted way would have worked, but they wanted to change all the rules and most of them were good.

A lot of people are complaining on the main forums. One thing that struck me as odd is that I've only been able to play one of the 2 new maps. I've yet to see what the other map is like. I understand that they are not "new" but still it's hard to find a server to play because the server browser is all screwed up.
