Man, put some major time into two of the maps and they are great so far. Oman got alot of changes, with more buildings, terrain, and other things, it so far has probably the most noticeable changes to it, but still pretty true to the original.

Sharqi is set up almost exactly like it was before, with a few changes, but overall it's a great map. Haven't done the other two yet as I was playing on a server with a bunch of tickets on it so the games lasted for awhile.

The destruction is really taken up a notch, with alot more buildings being able to be hollowed out or destroyed, like some have stairways that can be destroyed removing the ability to get onto that floor and things like that. Still haven't figured how to check the assignments yet as they seem to only show up at the end of the game and I can't click them, only see my progress lol

*EDIT*
Nevermind, it's in soldier stats on PC, just no way to check them ingame, which doesn't bother me. Almost got the first sniper rifle.

I've played all of the maps now and they are just as great as they originally were, but now are the best versions, cause they feel less barren and empty like they were in BF2. It's awesome when things really get torn up, cause it looks like a nuke went off in the area, hollowing out buildings and destroying chunks of structures lol

Karkand and Sharqi might be fav's to play now, but they all have their styles, Karkand and Sharqi being infantry oriented maps, with Wake and Oman being more about the vehicles. Also the assignments are a nice way for unlocking things, though a couple of the requirements are alittle lame, like forcing people to play SQDM is kinda annoying. There's a reason I only play Conquest and Rush lol

I bought it at 50% off from Origin (there's still 1h and 12 minutes left

).

After 6 hours trying to play, it doesn't work Q_Q

Battlelog was able to launch Campaing once. After that, nothing

The USAS-12 + Frag Rounds is ruining this game. Fact.

Hrmm, thought they would've patched that way back in December, back when they did the update for PC, the updates then coming out after that for the consoles. Cause yeah, default frag grenades on the USAS-12 were pretty overpowered. Sorry to hear that :\

Next update you'll probably see it happening as they have some big plans to implement accessory balancing, so as to make the attachments other than like Foregrip and Silencer useful. It also won't just be a general fix to say the foregrip for all guns, but more of a per weapon basis.
