A LOT better gameplay in my opinion due to the asymmetry and it's more complete than the early days of RO2. The gameplay is very asymmetric with both sides having advantages in different areas and they have to play differently because of it. There's more action overall due to the map design with most of the maps feeling really good about not just being a campfest but actually having enough cover to advance and flank if you want. They have plenty of room on the sides to do that as well.
The foliage on some maps add another element to engagements as I've used the bushes to conceal my advance on the flank and I've been shot by snipers that were concealed as well but it's still not too bad to spot movement in those areas making it a good addition and not too annoying since most people on one side are moving up anyway.
I truly think this surpasses RO2 for overall gameplay and I love playing both sides for different reasons. It feels more chaotic yet not too crazy but there's a lot more movement than RO2 with more cover to conceal you. The maps are good for the most part with a decent flow although there are still a few areas that are tough but that's more due to the fact that there's a lot of noobs right now and
squad leaders that ignore smoke.
It's hard to cover it all and I'm really tired so I'm going to head to bed but I'll elaborate on certain points or answer questions if you want me to once I get up tomorrow.
Then I might start working on the OP as long as you guys liked the RO2 OT.
