stuck to conquest, which in the karkand maps always had me in assault conquest.
- one team starts with all the spawns, other team has to take them. mind you the ticket bleed is rough for the attackers, so the name of the game is speed, and blitzkrieg.
- played on karkand and sharqi maps, both desert like and urban. both have an assortment of alleyways and tall buildings to climb. the destruction is what the game should have shipped with. didnt see any building collapses, but honestly i was panicking the whole dang time because i did not know the maps at all. still dont mind you.
- choosing the b2k map in the server selection doesnt mean you will be stuck in a look of a couple maps, it goes through the whole map cycle.
- you have two tiers of weapons to unlock. 1st tier is easy to get. 2nd tier has some really specific objectives to them, but this adds a lot of value to getting them. not just gain 50k points with a kit.
- be prepared for 90% of your team leaving after the maps go into the "original" playlist. unpatient sods.

this was my first time playing since the first week of skyrim. so you better believe i was trying to jump with the wrong button, lol. and wondering the whole freaking time how cool it would be if a dragon attacked!

also a quick thing: did NOT experience any hiccups at all. everything loaded fine, no lag, didnt bother talking to people. ( cant get everything now). for a free expansion pack, everything i have seen so far has impressed me.
