Gimme some of that Port Valdez and Arica Harbour DICE.

Objective damage would fix Rush mode
Valley Run
No it wouldn't. Zavod last set would still be impossible to take. And frankly, I don't want Objective Harm to ever return to that mode. Too easy to abuse and prevents the main objective (arming/holding) from being done.

Rush on 4 maps only, no thank you.
This is a good first move. The fact they're looking into it means 1) they admit they fucked up and 2) it's possible to "fix" it.
Two of the general changes that are gonna be a possible:
The first was fucking stupid from a mode and big-picture objective view. Why the fuck would you give one side (since there is NEVER two commanders on the same server) an "all seeing eye" intel advantage and ability to prevent spots in a HUGE area. Double so when there is MAV's for that explicit purpose (recon).
The second means no more Solid-State (Hard-)Drive advantage in being able to arm the objectives and blow them/first-set done while everyone else is loading into the server in literal minutes. This never should've went away from BF3 and it's mind boggling that DICE removed it at launch.
Siege of Shanghai said:
The first means no more fucking first set sandbagging. Thank you, BASED DICE, for actually kicking them off that roof and going "attack, damn it."
The second means the first: No more roof campers.
The third admits a mistake they made: Tanks being able to go into the underground mall and shut down that set, gg defense with no ability to counter it other than "rush down there in the attacking tank yourself and pray they don't have the tank down there already."
Of course, since this isn't "Live" to see how they've changed it/test it yet, the second set may/may not still be down there but at least they listened to me and others that have bitched about this. So CommanderShepardSuckItHaters.gif toward Sco about "oh but that's counterable in 32 players." Kane disagrees and sees why I bitched about it, DICE sees it (even in telemetry) and knows they fucked up.
Three of the Zavod changes (since these are the first two maps they're looking at):
Zavod 311 said:
The first doesn't really need to be done with the exception of last set/4 B. Placing an M-COM/crate in that tower with only the stairs being the way up there was one of the most bone-headed decisions DICE did with the map (and there's plenty more for Rush/maps design on others) Set 4 needs a radical change. Maybe the transport chopper will help, provided DICE does not put in a mobile anti-air and lets the defense have to anti-air with engineers.
The second has been a problem with all Rush maps. So it's good they're looking into it even if it's just Zavod right now.
The third needs to be done in regards to Set 4/B but also just general set design in general.
Yes. The only downside to this is the "last set" being able to snipe the tank from above, I feel that's going to shut down the last set. But since people couldn't even get there in the first place since they camped the roofs of the first set (which is why this "vertical gameplay" needs to go) with the transport chopper and the second was impossible to take, it's hard to say how much use those roofs are until CTE bangs on them.
Which knowing CTE means they'll continue to play Conquest and these will be dead until DICE removes all the servers. Which they should've done if they were testing Sabotage Small/"competitive" in the first place last month
So you don't play a infantry focused arming mode because you can't sit on the roof and snipe and never arm objectives.
Mmmm'kay. Siege needed this. If this means people actually get off their asses and attack instead of sitting on the roofs "to support" and never getting anything done, good. The less having to aim with XM25's to the roofs to end the round after 45 mins, the better.

it enables arming. can't have the whole defending team sitting back while their objectives get chipped.

I want to get Naval Strike because of its Carrier Assault mode but are these seriously all the servers for it? They're all empty, wtf?
i would recommend against Carrier Assault.
and those are all custom servers, most custom servers are empty. Search for [DICE] servers only, you dont want to play on silly custom rule servers where you will be kicked for using a shotgun.
Dunno if any gaffers play this on a PS3 anymore

Really? I was really looking forward to picking this up for 25$. Damn. Are the servers populated in general? Or are they deserted now on last gen?
I had it set to search for Official servers. I searched for Ranked servers and there are a couple of populated servers; not as many as I would like but hopefully that's just because it's late night currently in NA.

but you see in DICE logic Official does not mean official dice servers, it means arbitrary servers that fit into the quick match -matchmaking settings.
you still need to sort it by name or use the actual word "DICE" as a search term.
Looks like there are players yes,

Dear Gaf-
Am I 'boosting' my stats if I just keep playing the Naval Maps over and over and obliterate clowns with the fast attack boats even though these are likely my favorite maps and vehicle in the game?
I feel dirty, but should I?
Love your column.
-Well Meaning Statwhore

I'm trying to get some assignments and unlocks so (against my better judgement) I've been jumping in the gunner spot of every chopper I can. I've come to realize their are 2 types of people that use the air vehicles. Those that can either fly really really really good, and those that can barely fly at all. I swear there is no in between. Not really much else to say about it, but was just surprised how drastic the skills are amongst players.

I guess that is your excuse for not owning a PS4 as well.
BOOM!
Ody is one of us, he is part of the original BF crew. He is just too much of a peasant to afford the game so he just comes here to troll the thread. Don't take it too seriously.

Funny, but true. There isn't a go-to multiplayer game that would keep the PS4 from becoming a doorstop.
Some of these changes are good. Like, damn good. But some of them are pretty questionable.
Elevators being off in Shanghai hasn't been a problem, thankfully. Let your hate flow, Sco. The map is better off for the mode without that element. (Granted, we haven't gotten past third set yet) Just for the fact people have to ATTACK now.
Gotta agree with Big Kack here. It was "funny" the first five times, Ody, but it's gotten old. Get a new joke, please.

I need to be able to spread my wings and fly
Platform? I'm getting some judder/stutter but I think it's the servers.
Also don't let it be said I don't give DICE MASSIVE text-dump feedbacks from live gameplay for Rush. hurr hurr hurr WHO CARES ABOUT RUSH says the peanut gallery; shush. Let me nerd out and give them feedback.
PC.
Live/CTE? Because in CTE I was getting stutters, if you're in Live/non-CTE, I'm going to assume it's the servers being wonky tonight. :/
Just live, had judder issue in a couple different servers, gave up and am playing TF2.

Please no more boats.
Ugh, indeed. The water maps are the worst.
