For me, Sharqi, and Oman, are almost exactly as they were. The only disappointment in Karki is the loss of the warehouse and Factory across the river. It is however still crucial to the overall map strategy to get behind the defenders and cap the flags over there, and then defend the bridge and ford. As before, if you threaten the armour respawn, you normally end up with your own fight on your hands over there, which is normally against the more tactically astute players of the defending team. The fight is a little more concentrated though, and therefore likely to be shorter, which I don’t like, but the largest version of the map plays almost the same as it did before overall.
Oh and Wake is also more or less the same, although the airpower always annoys me on it.

Just not for me – i prefer less flags but bah fuck it
I’m surprised by this, as I thought you’d like the return to an older conquest design. In particular Shaqi and Karki which have close to the old flag layouts, though the new Karki actually has less flags than in BF2. Since BC2 conquest has otherwise felt a little dumbed down and consoley.
lol no…but looks like it could be potentially good. Having said that, it would take a lot to be as balanced and awesome as COH.
R14 emergency patch
we have been instructed to roll out R14 straight away to fix the missing content bug.
its being pushed now and should complete in the next 2 hours as its quite small.
That this is happening while origin is royally fucked, we sort of hope this will fix things.
Ok so I’ve set Karki only maps on the server including all variations except for rush. There are two rounds set on the conquest large versions and the conquest assault versions. I’ve set 1 round on the small versions for now because I think they’re inferior to the larger versions, however I’ve left them in place so we all get a chance to form our own opinions.
The server died a death early this evening after an issue with team balance again, so I’ve attempted to install the procon true balancer for bf3, though I’m not sure if it’s working right yet.
There’s a carrier on Gulf of Oman just off shore which has been positioned nicely so that the AA’s field of view can only cover one point on the map itself, however we tested this earlier and it’s also out of range 🙂 I suspect the same will be true of the AA on Wake.
There’s an issue that has already been reported to DICE that the ticket bleed on Karkand begins when waiting for the round to start.
The R12 patch is rolling out now, it is a large patch so may take some time to do all the servers, I will send another message out when patching is complete.
Changelog
* General crashfixes
* Fixed problem where kits would remain on the level for a long time (>10 minutes); this would eventually make the server keel over
* The Back to Karkand maps are included
Notice that there are two variations on the Conquest gamemode (ConquestSmall0, ConquestSmall1). The differences are mainly to do with the flags. You will see a “#2” after the map name for a server that runs the second Conquest variation.
Game servers can mix and match B2K and non-B2K maps. Players who have not purchased B2K will be warned if they attempt to join a server with B2K maps in the rotation. Quickmatch will not send those players to servers with B2K maps in the rotation either. The guiding principle here is: if possible, avoid having people get kicked from servers.

You want to change the server to the new maps for a week?
Can certainly do it tomorrow and then maybe play by ear? It’s only 4 maps, and 4 maps most of us have really played to death already in BF2 🙂
