Well, I've been saying it here for a few days, but it's not just me...

So the China Rising maps are... well, meh.
Well, maybe not meh, but I'm glad I didn't buy the digital deluxe option. They're not bad, don't get me wrong, even Silk Road which I was expecting would become the new operation firestorm until the old operation firestorm arrives to tick me off, but it turns out that infantry can actually stand a chance on the Silk Road map so long as you start on the Chinese side (on the US side, not so much unless you push hard and get to the central point). There's enough cover to make it interesting and the dirt bikes let you move around a bit more easily.
Altai Range could be good, but I spent one round fighting over the central point and it was a constant cycle of spawn, get one kill, get killed from behind, spawn (and that was when the cycle wasn't spawn, get killed during the blackout, spawn). And on another round, we got into an armour scrap over C and A and it was impossible to hold because the engineers on the other side could use the dirt bikes to get up above A and run down the mountain at you, the armour can't elevate guns enough to catch them and the infantry on A is getting pounded by the armour pushing up on it. Just not balanced.
Guilin Peaks looks stunning, but is crud to play in; yes, two people are having a great time having chopper dogfights amongst the peaks.... for all of the 30 seconds before the other 62 people fire ALL THE MISSILES at them. And as infantry, it's a lot of running before you get sniped from the top of the peaks (oh, and you can't easily shoot back because it's overgrown so you can't see targets but they can see you). The ultimate rooftop camping site. Not my favorite hour, that one.
Dragon Pass is pretty okay. There was a good mix of run&gun and vehiclecide in there, but it really is a teamwork map and this just isn't proving to be a teamwork game
All in all, good but not great.
edit: Oh, and the bomber? Utterly pants. It's like a rails shooter mini-game. You don't control the bomber, you get in a control trailer thing on the ground and it gives you a screen like the AC130 but not in black and white thermals, you mark points on the ground and it fires JDAM bombs at them (you get four and that's it). Boring. Do it, get one kill to unlock the SUAV, then meh, not interested.0 -
On the upside, I'm loving the sneakiness of the M2 SLAM
Kill one IFV on a road, plant three M2s on the burning wreck, kill the next IFV for free when it pushes on past the wreck to the objective.
And I finally got the double-SRAW trick to work -- but feck, you need to be on a wide open map with some local cover and the target a ways off for that to work in a real game; and even then it's not going to kill an MBT or LAV.
And I unlocked the last ten kit unlocks for the assault class kit in one round of locker using the 1911 on a pistols only server with a 200% XP boost on top of the double XP week. Insane round :pac: That's all the kit unlocks for me now 0 -

Ouch on the sleeplessness
Maybe, but right now I'm thinking I'll spend more time in the second assault maps when they come out. There's nothing hugely wrong with the China Rising maps, they're just not great. It's nice to see the dirt bike come back, and I like the weapons, and if you're just flying about in a scout helo on your own on maps like Peaks, it looks lovely; but to actually play a balanced game? I dunno. I haven't seen much of that so far.Sparks.... disappointing review of China Rising! Maybe after some time it will gel?
Run into cover in view of the tank, make him chase you. It's the movement that sets off the M2s. But most of the time, I don't have this problem, it's getting up close to the bugger that's the hard part.One thing I notice though is that on PS3 you could pop them on a tank, wait and then boom. Whereas on 64 player servers you can do that but with some many playing it is likely another RPG will come in and take your kill!
I do like the MP7 and MX4 inside 50m-60m or so. But there aren't many maps you can do that on. Haitan resort has all those long runs to close distance in. Get into the hotel and you'll own the place, but that long long run up to it tends to kill me anytime I'm PDWing it.Does anyone like the PDWs?
The whole game seems to have ranges at which various classes of gun work best - shotguns out to ~10-20m, PDWs then out to 50-60m, Carbines out to 100m, Assault rifles out to 200-300m, then sniper rifles thereafter. The DMRs should kick in between 200 and 500m, but don't because of their damage model 0 -

Yeah, not overly impressed with China Rising either. Guilin Peaks is fecking awesome, especially on Obliteration
Had a great game last night: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/1/408034528117349248/366500914/0 -
Do not like Peaks as infantry. Was writing it off alltogether when I saw levelcap's video on the air superiority game mode in there. Didn't get to play it myself, but flying round Peaks in attack helos in air superiority? That sounds like it'd be a bit of craic allright
BTW, just as an aside, SCREW YOU MAJESTICDONKEY YOU FECKING GIT!
Comes onto my pistols only server, shoots me in the face, sodding git.... 0 -

Hehehe, had a good game there too

Had a 200% XP boost on and ended up with nearly 300,000 points for that round. Didn't even get to see all my ribbons before the timer ended and went to the next round 0 -
