First impressions...
As much ad it pains me to say it, Euan was right in saying that conquest sucks. There's too much shit going on that can kill you and keeping an eye on everything is impossible. Domination is great fun, especially in a party. I like that there are no vehicles because just as with every other battlefield game, there are always dicks flying around in planes contributing the square root of fuck all to the team. I also like the fact that dom is 10v10 so with a few of us on you have much less chance of some stupid sniper joining who sits at the back of the map and doesn't help cap / defend flags.
The maps are great, I love the setting, the atmosphere is spot on. Gunplay is good but the hit detection can be absolutely awful at times. One major irritating thing for me is going to a downed team mate, pressing right on the D pad and my dude puts his gas mask on. This in the heat of battle is a pain in the arse which costs precious time. Whether it's my joystick or a bug I don't know.
The classes are great but I really miss engineer. That was an epic class and would be fantastic in this what with all the rickety tanks and stuff. Horses can take more hits than a tank which is odd, they must've fed them spinach back then.
So far ts great fun, really enjoying it and being able to jump in to a game mode with no vehicles and less chance of dumb fucks is fantastic.
One gripe: people who res as soon as they die. I'll be 3m away from a corpse so I run over to it and the guy fucking revives. On the flip side, people who pick medic and then stand on top of your corpse but don't revive. Idiots.
I revived Euan a lot last night.
