Good stuff. New maps are badly needed, and I've seriously underplayed haven because so few have it. Execution is a good way to work out team play. We always spawn together, we always have an objective. GG last time and apologies for the butthurt on that Rig Game, but we were up against coordinated play, they had total power weapon support, and I can't stand losing to people other than due to skill gap, because teamwork is something available to everyone. I went toe to toe on rare occasions that I had one on ones with these guys and won a fair share, but most of the time, I was getting crossfired to fuck. That said, I've never ever had that bad a tactical situation - they had breech, Vulcan, boom, and often booshka. Storm one and the others backed up. Very rare, even on Rig, which is a shit map. Also Library oneshot camping = facepalm. I need new maps because I don't want to play these if I can help it. Street and Gondola though, neat. Gondola boomshot does not equal automatic win, unlike Rig where boomshot control usually wins out.

I've still not really put enough time on this, but fuck it I'm going to complain anyway: why are the maps not like gears maps? Ok obv I know *why* they've done that (ffa), but all this ffa inspired map business is fucking weak. Where are all the simple, symmetrical maps like gridlock, canals, fuel depot, river, checkout, war machine, pavilion... the list goes on. None of the maps I've got on this so far seem anything at all like what a gears map should be. The refinery / rig level seems more like something from cod. I mean, no gridlock. No gridlock!? I'd play gears 3 over this at the moment.
