I swear that getting assist ribbons is really funky. I get assists all the time, but I almost never get ribbons for it.
God I hate Youtube compression so much..

Well just before that happened you had that series of squares in the top right corner meaning packet loss or fps loss or some shit, even though the squares are not that helpful, i think it means it is detecting a problem.

It was via Gamefly. I tried doing it even though I don't own BF4. If I could get free premium I'd probably buy the game. Couldn't get it to work.
Damn..
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;43957334]Holy fuck this new Metro map is worse than the one in BF4, pure cancer[/QUOTE]
At least they added that side route at B so the US team has another route they can take. I played a little this morning and it appeared to pretty much wind up the same as BF3, where one team is constantly base raping the other.

It's the same old shit of first team to B is likely to win. I kinda wish they added an extra capture point and pushed the US base back so that the inevitable dumb battle in the middle didn't feel quite as hopeless if you are the team that doesn't own B.
Just played some gulf of oman to get the m60, and what the fuck is with the sandstorm? I knew it was there, but it started in the first 100 tickets of a 1,000 ticket match and didn't go away. Really? I'd be okay if it started even half way through, but within the first 1/10 of a match when those tickets are basically toss away tickets and no one is even going to get many kills, that's dumb as fuck

So another route that will be just as clogged as the previous ones?
[QUOTE=booster;43961910]So another route that will be just as clogged as the previous ones?[/QUOTE]
That's probably true, but I was playing on the US team and Russia had already captured B, and me and about 5 other people rushed out from the new side exit and surprised quite a few people. We took B and pushed Russia back to their spawn, but as more people become aware of the route I'm sure people will lay claymores and shoot LVG's down that path as well.
The MP7 destroys everything on Metro. Dear lord. I find that even with the new routes added into the map, it doesn't make a difference. If anything it makes it worse. I'm not complaining though, I just play Metro when I'm in the mood for a clusterfuck. You can also still camp the escalators/elevators effectively by hiding behind the photo booth placed nearby, just hiding there to reload then pop back out for a few kills, rinse and repeat.
I tried my hand at aggressive sniping again, what is up with the sniper rifles? When I try to make a quickshot, the bullet completely flies off target, it's really starting to annoy me..
Tried the new Caspian Border, feels a lot smaller, and all they've done is added a wall and another tower that explodes, are the rest of the maps this half-assed?
After getting to play all the maps a few times I've come to the conclusion that I still hate Gulf of Oman and I don't even understand why it's in this expansion, especially considering that it's called [b]Second[/b] Assualt and this is the third time this map has been in a BF game.
I really feel like they missed out on having an actual good BF3 map instead of Oman. I would have loved to have seen BF4 versions of Kharg Island or Seine Crossing, rather than the third remake of a wankey map.
I would have traded gulf of oman and caspian border for seine crossing and grand bazaar any day of the week

Seine Crossing maybe, but Bazaar exemplified the corridor camping clusterfuck map design that perforated BF3

I found the large side routes and the addition of APCs made it much better in comparison to something like metro or op locker. I never camped in the middle corridor and always pushed around the sides and maps would change hands constantly, metro and op locker it's pretty much set in stone who has won within the first minute or two of the match.

I think it's partly to stop the massive sniper fuckfest that always happened in BF3 Oman, but I agree it does start far too early.
I mean, I love the Sandstorm, but it would have super suited Karkand. Why not any of the actually good BF3 dlc maps?

Don't get me wrong, Metro and Locker aren't much better :v: I just never had good games on Bazaar either.

I constantly had good games on Bazaar, partly because i was playing 32-48 players instead and also because i enjoyed rush game mode on that map. rush on metro is terrible

So caspian seems to be a cluttered map with very poor layout (as it originally was, i have no fucking clue why it's in this map pack) that allows for jet and attack helicopter spawn raping and complete map coverage by AC-130 commander spam.
So far second assault is pretty shit. 3 of the maps a majority of the people didn't even want, yet they claimed they're "THE MOST POPULAR MAPS FROM BF3!" You can go on the bf3 server browser right now and i can guarantee you won't find even 1/4 of the servers playing gulf of oman, firestorm or caspian in their rotation at all
[editline]18th February 2014[/editline]
Noshahr Canals is played far more often, Seine is played far more often, even fucking Kharg island is played more often than Oman or Firestorm, yet none of those maps are in this. Did they not actually ask any of the players what maps they wanted to see remade?

I like Oman :C I don't think I'm too fond of Caspian, however. While it does make sense for Caspian to be in the expansion since it's the trademark BF3 conquest map, I really disliked how 50% of the map's traffic is around Delta and two-three people are at the other flags (which hasn't changed in Caspian 2014). That plus I can't see anyone through the foliage and the rocks at Charlie are a nightmare to traverse.
As for Oman, I like it because it doesn't focus the gameplay too much on any particular point. Sure, Golf gets a bit more traffic because it spawns an IFV and MBT, but the difference isn't as drastic as in vanilla BF3 maps. I prefer to have teams spread out evenly across the map instead of clumped up at one or two places that you can't even approach without two tanks and air support. That plus Oman actually has a nice balance between vehicle and infantry combat, where the latter isn't instafucked if they encounter the former on ~75% of the map. I wouldn't've included this as a Second Assault map though, it definitely wasn't played enough to warrant being brought back; Kharg Island would be a much more suitable replacement.
Metro Conquest sucks dick, no alternate paths are going to change that. I've had a few fun games on it in Rush though, plus it's a beta map, so it's a sort of advertisement for BF3. I think it's a reasonable addition to SA.
Firestorm I was never crazy about. Five points isn't a lot, and one could definitely make a much more complex map while keeping to the theme the map has going. The flags themselves are good I think, but the spaces between them are horrid - it's like they designed each point separately, threw them onto some terrain, then haphazardly connected them with roads, fences, and rocks. I agree with this map being in SA, even though my feelings toward it are pretty much lukewarm.
Weapons: I don't like the BF4 AS VAL :c it used to be a fucking sniper rifle in 3, now I can't hit shit with it past 12m. I suppose it's a good PDW with the 34 base damage and 900rpm and all, but I'll still take an MP7 over it any day. The DAO got nerfed just a bit, but I think it's an acceptable nerf. Firing at max rpm hugely increases spread, so you have to take your time with the shots; if you get the hang of it though, it's still a really fun gun. Reloading takes 28 and a half minutes though, holy God it's so slow. The M60 feels really good, although like the DAO, feels like it has a very high spread increase in automatic. Single shots and two-round bursts are very effective at range, just like the PKP and M240B. Its sound is orgasmic too, which is always a plus. The Gol I've not yet messed with, but I don't expect it to be that much different from the other bolt actions. Finally, the F2000 - my baby <3 It looks great, kills great, and that F2000 scope :E Minimal recoil, okay reload, good hipfire, excellent rpm. This thing will be replacing the L85 as my primary AR I think.
Wow, this ended up being way huger than I intended it to be. Anyway yeah those are my thoughts on SA.

[QUOTE=JoonazL;43964292]iirc they looked at the most played levels and just took those[/QUOTE]
Most played on what? Empty servers that have no people? 90% of the time a server would rotate into gulf of oman, half of the server would leave and go play on a different one that is playing better maps

Good to see even the new releases are bug-free
is this game still buggy as shit, or is it actually worth buying now?
