    What was the player count though? I really don't think these are workable with more than 16.

    Played a few hours through the different modes and quite like it, really fast paced and pure sweaty mayhem at times :D
    Maps seem well laid out and the new assignments & achievements are fun too :pac:

    They're not maps/modes I'd play full time but I wouldn't quit from a server that rotated to them either if you know what I mean.

    Maps are ok, thought they're well thought out. K/D ratio of beyond 3 on most of them... people just running and gunning like cod games, really doesn't work like that most of the time.

    Gun master is good fun. 8 player gun master is about perfect imo, maybe even 12. Enjoyable change from the other modes, I'll definitely be putting more hours into this game mode.

    All are good enough bar scrap metal that just dosent have a middle part to it just the 2 connecting bridges. Acw-r kicks ass too, have 5 of the 10 assignements done, will crack on with the other 5 tomoro, getting a kill with an eod bot should be hella frustrating..

    Yes, yes it is... granted it took me 3 matches to do it, but being taken out of the action/ptfo-ing is something I didn't/don't like nor enjoy.

    I would advise a conquest map like Tehran, Bazaar or Seine to get it done. Tehran is probably the easiest due to its relative flatness.

    I really enjoyed the 2 hours that I spent playing Close Quarters, it was frantic non-stop action. A bit different from the BF3 norm but I liked it. It looks alot easier to end up with a better K/D ratio too.

    Yeah the eod bot kill is driving me nuts, hate how most of the assignements involve explosives too!

    When attached to an AUG, the M320 smoke kills on impact.

    It always did that. I think it just has no drop now so it's incredibly accurate at range

    Yeah, the maps may be meant for 16 players, but there's no player count limit, so 64 is an option.

    I dislike scrap metal though, it's very generic.

    DICE already said they don't give any support to servers than run the CQ maps with more than 16 players. That's how much they're suited to 16 players. Although, Craggy was full yesterday for a few hours with 48 players. :D

    64 it doesnt work at all, especially with the random spawn.

    There's no rush, only conquest domination and gun master.

    It's ok...

    My main issue would be that the maps dont feel like the other battlefield infantry focused maps and do lean very heavily in the COD complainers being justified. But they are well designed *cod* maps and the lack of killstreaks means the games dont get stupid anytime soon.

    Conquest Domination is nothing to celebrate and gun master is fun enough. I think if they didnt introduce the premium service a lot of people would be justified in skipping it, but the premium service makes it easier to swallow with the excitement being more towards the later add on packs.

    My issue about it is that it wont be on any server rotations due to the maps being 16 people and not 24.

    Reminds me of Vietnam, I loved it but people didnt quit 'vanilla' BC to go and play it so ignored it.

    Depends on the individual.There's no getting away from the fact that they are more cod than battlefield.If you like fast paced hectic run and gun type games you will be right at home.
    If rush is your thing then there's no point bothering with it,if you prefer the likes of Caspian and Kharg then don't bother either.

    I'm not a fan of the big maps but definitely not a fan of these either.
    I'll be sticking to Bazaar,Seine,Metro,Noshar etc. for the time being.

    Done, im really undecided about it. It just isn't battlefield but I like the maps. Anything over 16 players is a bit stupid. I'll give it a few months

    I've gone for undecided in place of "meh". It does provide a nice enough variant for gameplay, but the small maps end up repetitive, and I seriously doubt its longevity.
