So I played armored kill yesterday. I am actually mixed on how I feel about it.
The maps are GORGEOUS!
The maps are @#$@%# huge! This is both good and bad...they are definitely epic and have lots of points to capture. This has a slight disadvantage...if you are out in the middle of nowhere, or someone takes the last vehicle from a objective...expect to run for a solid 45-60 seconds before you see anyone...even on a 64 man server.
If the objectives are split 50/50 then at an objective you may only encounter 1 or 2 enemies unless it is a Gun Ship objective (if you own the gun ship objective, the gun ship will spawn for your team)
Right now, Tank Superiority sucks. It is just 1 objective in the middle of a an area and everyone just sits in a tank and snipes at the edges of the map.
Now AK has only been out for a day for PC and there were a bunch of noobs playing so gameplay is quite interesting and chaotic. I think as time moves forward people will find the good routes and figure out the strategies for each of the maps and gameplay will improve.
The maps are definitely more "team play" oriented. Since the objectives are so far apart, you almost need coordinated sqauds that are assigned "areas" to defend/hold. I mean on 1 map, 4 objectives are down by a lake in a lush forest, 3 are up on a huge mountain, and 2 are on the other side of the mountain. It literally takes you almost 2 minutes to drive from 1 side to the other in a quad bike. You can't just run from 1 objective to another like you do in other BF3 maps.
Once I got a feel for the map I started having more fun...and I think as I learn the maps, they will just get better and better.
