What's so disappointing? I've only played conquest on Armored Shield / Alborz and rush on Alborz and I'm loving it so far even with the reduced player count, they were a lot more intense than the stuff in vanilla conquest. Hope they take a lot from the maps in this one because they're so much better than the stuff we got in the original game going by first impressions.
Just wait until your helicopter crashes 300km away from any civilization.
They advertise such gigantic maps, but the truth is a lot of it is just wasteland in between the flag points and what not.
I usually just commit suicide if I end up somewhere in between. Running for 5 min straight isn't so fun.
I think there should still be regular MBT's and IFV's in the Armored Kill maps too (just 1 of each). It would seem a little more like a bigger scale battle then. The fact that all these new vehicles just simply replaced the old ones in the new maps makes things feel pretty much the same in a lot of ways. I'm pretty good with a Tank Destroyer with the Autoloader and TOW missile combo. I have survived entire matches with the same one, and many times I find myself just cruising around looking for something to do since I've killed all the other tanks for the time being. It's like...really? Just 2 tanks on the field for a gigantic map?
I already unlocked everything for the Tank Destoryer, and just about done with Mobile Artillery. After that I may go back to vanilla. I miss the Abrams
