Is the one in the middle 'no crowd surfing'? THEY'VE GONE TOO FAR!

"where, his supporters say, ‘people live like animals in a jungle"
Seriously, have you ever been to the jungle? All the empty liquor bottles, the monkeys who've lost everything at the casinos, and don't get me started on the gorillas and their damned "rock and roll" music.

How exactly do they plan on enforcing these rules? Terrorizing those who don't follow them?

That's the gist of it. Foot patrols of willing followers to terrorize (I see what I did there) the neighborhoods into obedience.

The rise of the Muslim Mafia?

These groups tend to end up causing more harm to themselves than anything else.

That is hilarious is that they thing they can terrorise the UK with sectarian violence. These people fail history forever.

It's worth noting that the most popular name for baby boys now in the U.K. is Mohammed


My peeve atm? People camping LIKE LITTLE BITCHES on BF TDM - What the HELL was DICE thinking when they designed some of these maps? On Lacang Dam I think it is, there's 2 buildings each with a ladder that leads up to the top level of the building - but there's a hatch at the top of said ladders. Basically it's a race for any Recon to get on top, close the hatch (so no one can get to them) and then place a spawn beacon up there and gleefully snipe away at everyone down below. It's utter F'ing nonsense.

Map design is hard. No one seems to take me seriously when I complain about it, but it's definitely a persistent problem.

Demanding people are my peeve of the day. Listen. Finals are two weeks away. I don't have time for this stuff. I will do what I can when I can, but I'm trying to pass six classes here. So stop nagging at me.

Agreed, on both points - it's not easy, but it is a frequently recurring problem in modern shooters. Most of the maps in BF4 are OK, but a few of them have some glaring balance concerns.

It's not limited to shooters, it's games in general.

FTFY

Also, the map with the hatches on the ladders is Zavod. I don't believe there are any on Lancang. Zavod is a terrible map for small games because it really is about getting that high ground and spawn camping everybody that spawns in beneath them. If you like TDM you should give Domination a try; I think the map flow improves when there are objectives to capture.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Yeah Domination generally is way better, but as I said until that stability patch hits I get booted out of any other game mode and it's maddening... I don't even touch quick game anymore.

Lancang is just problematic all around though. People camp the the top of the two buildings or the back outside edges of the map (seriously who at DICE thought giving Recon claymores was a good idea? C-4 fine, it has to be used manually but sure let's give the sniper class another camping tool!) and then on the other modes the map, like some others, is just dominated by Jets. Levelcap was commenting on this in 1 of his recent videos and he's absolutely right, the Attack Jet on that map just absolutely owns. It's another one of those cases where if one team has a really good Jet pilot he can just control the sky and stay up there all game long making life a living Hell for the other team. At the very least they should add some AA-Tanks to that map.

And I didn't think it was possible to make any pair of starting M-Coms worse than the 2 in Grand Bazaar in BF3, but Paracel Storm takes the cake. It is damn-near impossible to take those first 2 M-Coms.

Jets were pretty dominant in BF3 as well. If you didn't have a pilot, or one that wasn't very good, the opposing jet could deny you any air vehicles while keeping theirs safe. And I'm not a fan of the Tunguska and other AA vehicles, they have far too much range and it isn't always easy to get a tank, IFV, or engineer over to them to destroy them. It's satisfying when you do, but only because it can be difficult.

Paracel Storm is an interesting map, overall. The first objective can be difficult if you're trying to push in straight from the front. Using the transport chopper to get people in the water around the sides and on the back works out pretty well, but it's nearly impossible if even one engineer is packing a stigla. At that point, you need a couple dedicated engineers on repair or you're a chopper full of free kills. And the problem with that is you lose out on two seats. Even if you get past it, a lot of times you're losing tickets because you're forced to swim from island to island.

The first set of objectives on Golmud Railway annoys me. They're so close to the edge of the playable map for the attackers that it's difficult to push in and clear out soldiers on the rocks or chase down damaged tanks. Luckily, the scout helicopter with the anti-armor missiles and quick reload upgrade can really dominate. As long as you don't engage a tank without your flares, you can always drop them and make a quick escape.

Wont an RPG strike to the top move them?
