The oil slicks on the A, B & C actually seem like they could be useful from time to time Metro looks good. A few new ways up to B so you don't always have to get bottlenecked by the escalators. Some mini levolution dotted around the map as well. Notice one at the top of the eescalators themselves which could help push the defenders off the point for a few seconds Oman is pretty much the same from what I've seen. That sand storm looks ****ing massive. The high winds will eventually bring down that annoying sniper crane on E which I really like. Also noticed some small IEDs around the A flag perfect for defending it and surprising any attackers.........also, Skid loader FTW Caspian seems a little lopsided with the huge wall pining the Americans back with only 2 flags on their side. I know you can destroy the wall but if you can defend the wall itself the it'll be tough to break out. Looks awesome though Liking the new maps right now simply from an assistance stand point, but obviously it'll take a few days play to get a proper sense of them. Gotta get my AS VAL now

First impressions ive only played Caspian and Firestorm so far, look great on PS4, still didn't update the game so a lot of annoying bugs still present, I'd say they will update the game next week and break more "features", joy o joy...

paul_booth_fan wrote: » Yep yep yep..............Second Assault is nearly a very good DLC but falls just short. Metro is ****ing ****. It's basically 50 people throwing grenades while the other 14 use the LVG. With how quickly the V40 mini grenades replenish, and the fact you get 3 is just madness. Also, if you're playing as the US side it's almost a guaranteed lose. The new routes in and around the B flag are actually decent but they too turn into massive bottlenecks. Oman, ironically, is probably ruined by the new levolution designed to rejuvenate the map. Massive storm comes in after only about 5 minutes and erases any sense of aircraft providing assistance. Almost renders snipers completely useless(not always a bad thing to be fair) as vision is restricted to barely medium range. Firestorm is actually ok. Pretty much everything can be either blown up or set on fire. Not to much to say on it really, if you liked it in BF3 you'll love the changes here. If you didn't like it then there's not really a lot to change your opinion. Caspian Border looks gorgeous, and when the tower on the hilltop comes down it can provide quick access to the forest flag. However, the wall is an atrocious piece of map design. It completely destroys the flow between the flags and just causes lots of standing gun fights. Sooo many snipers as well, the fact DICE seems to be encouraging them with some of the assignments doesn't help. Not a bad effort but I think trying to turn 3 meh maps into something revolutionary was a step to far. What they have in fact done, is turn Caspian Border(the 1 map almost unanimously liked by all BF players) from one of the most balanced and free flowing maps into a slow paced slugfest focused on the main gate and a few small holes in the wall. Hopefully my opinion will change over the next few weeks, these are just my first impressions from only a couple of hours gameplay. Kinda glad they didn't try update Grand Bazaar now though
