Thanks for the tip.
What's the word on Naval Assault? Maybe I missed the chatter in this thread on whether it's a good set of maps.
My 2 cents (coming from hardcore pov)
Carrier Assault mode is full retard. It's basically conquest with a rush match tacked on to the end. Whoever breeches the carrier first will win 90% of the time, and it's just a CQC cluster fuck inside, but hey some people like that. If you do just play Metro/Locker instead.
The maps themselves are pretty, but they all play out the same for the most part (ie 4 new versions of Paracel Storm). Op Mortar is probably the most distinct, in that the B flag makes for some great infantry fights since it is inaccessible by boats.
Ah, yes, the boats. They rape anything and everything. Thermal sites on a cannon and 2 miniguns plus a rep bitch. Not to mention acting as a mobile spawn point. If that's not formidable enough, try shooting a rocket at them with a billion bush wookies waiting to oneshot you. C4/SLAM usually isn't an option unlike with land vehicles. Javelin actually has some usefulness now though.
Transit between flags can be a problem if your squad doesn't have one of the aforementioned boats, particularly on Nansha Strike's outer islands. Trying to swim or using the RHIB or hover craft is just asking to get owned as there is no cover. Laying waste to open vehicle crews and swimmers with a bipoded 240B is my new favorite hobby though.
