    I got in a custom 6 player squad Twitch game on Saturday night with my work friend (Murlow) and his friends. We didn't win but we did kill the host (after he sniped me).

    Looks beautiful... Is it up on test server? Might have some time to play tonight/tomorrow.

    Yes it's up. Watched a couple streams this morning. Early reviews - lots of cover inside towns but in the desert you need a long range gun. I won't be around until Sunday to try it. Winchester looks fun but iron sight only. Double barrel sawed off is a pistol....

    I think I got three rounds in, only saw a little bit of the map. Certainly less cover moving between structures, but also a little easier to pick out people from the background which I like. I didn't get to try any of the new guns.

    I have played about the same amount. I like the desert areas but you are now required to get a sniper rifle or get picked off. The cities are pretty busy with random debris everywhere making it harder to spot people. I see last night they patched to include the old map in the rotation on the test server. Now it's random which map you get.

    Watch the first minute of this..... I am going to go out on a limb and say the Xbox version may not be ready for prime time.

    Yeah I read it was pretty glitchy... Sure hope the game makers dont implode from trying to grow to fast and stretch themselves to thin...

    Played a few more rounds. It could be completely random, but one thing that the lessening of trees and long distance cover seems to to encourage, is more combat early on?? Maybe just my experience so far. But on this map so far, as soon as my team has started moving to the first smaller circle, even when we were off from the planes flight path, we've gotten into firefights trying to move to the next town... Easier to see people so easier to set up an ambush earlier... Have been some good firefights, I almost got behind someone using my vault into a window but his buddy got me from behind going in the window.

    I think it's true there are more encounters early on in the game. I think it's because people stick to the roads because going offroad is much slower on the new map. I also think you can't just loot through the first circle and expect to make it before the blue comes like on the first map. We have been dropping into the Casino most rounds and that town is a real war zone. If you do make it out you will be well set up to win the game.
