[BF4] Operation Locker is surprisingly enjoyable with lower player count

Rush mode specifically, but may also apply with conquest. Battle Report

I joined a server through matchmaking and saw only 3 people total in it, so I was wondering whether I should just leave or not (can't start the game and its flippin Operation Locker).

But just to see how the game goes with barely functional player count, I stuck around.

The game basically was 3v3 and at once 4v4, which turned the mode into makeshift Squad Rush. Actual map design is very good when not considering that its going to be jam packed with proper player count.

I think the map will be very enjoyable with 16 player max, judging from my experience in lower player count scenario.

Problem is that most servers are 64 player count that has operation locker in its map rotation, either due to admin stupidity or him enjoying clusterfuck. Even 32 player is too crowded to do anything successfully (only won ONCE as attacker).

Yeah rush should be capped at 32 players max. 64 conquest large isn't too bad as long as you flank.

Only if your team isn't filled with idiots that camp C.

32 players IMHO feels just right though. 48 I think would be the absolute max.

64 players requires at least 2 competent squads abusing XM25's and mortars to have any hope of breaking the blockade at C if you don't get it first or lose it. From there, it's capping the rear most flags from the enemy team and pushing hard with the rest of the team to retake C (That also means the rest of your team needs to hold the OPFOR off so that you can flank on the outside of the mountain.)

I'll play Op. Locker anyday of the week with 32 or 48 players. Flood zone also isn't too bad with 32 or 48 players.

Conquest Op Locker and Rush mode play quite differently.

Rush OL STARTS OUT as locked out state for attackers.

You can't flank way around to capture back flag or anything, even if you manage to break through the line.

Operation Locker is great on 360

Yep, it does get a Seinee Crossing type of frame rate stutter sometimes for me though.

Still shotguns and claymores baby. Shotguns and claymores.
