I really can't stand it with that many people. I like the changes to the CP's, but that's about it.

We had a funny moment at the farm flag where we decided to "take over the house". Usually you do that, and then assault the flag outside, but we took over the house and realized the flag was ON the house and within seconds we owned it.

A lot of people dont understand how to play Frontline which is why our team got manhandled so well. You cant do the traditional one squad stay back on the flag and another attack. For most of the round, our squad was the only one really attacking Farm and it was likely 6 vs 18 or so. This does not cap flags, and we were on bleed.

So the way you attack is to spread all the squads along the width of the map. Make sure nothing gets through, and then you can capture the flag. This is pretty darn easy to do as well since Berezne is so very linear and narrow in frontline. We had 22 people, so three 6 man squads and one 4 man squad can do this easily.

Its kind of like in 2142 how you don't actually defend a flag most of the time, but instead make sure they cant even get to your flag.

I disagree. Someone will get through. They always do and will.

I agree that too many stayed to defend for too long last night, but the flag cannot be abandoned.

FL is great! Some maps are better than others. I think Berezens was done really well for the map.

Rivne, Zhytomyr are my favs for FL... but the rest are really good too.
