at least there is no farming pilots,maybe tanks should have some sort of time penalty for staying too long in one spot,at least it would make them move. ---

It’s a M2 Carbine and tank heaven honestly I like it, very few medics/snipers/support mainly assault on the games I played today. we only had one server up on oceanic for an hour full server with 9 in Q, now last time I checked 3 Solomon map servers. ---

It’s ok. It much better than Argonne, Locker, Subway and Metro— the trash grenade spam choke point mess maps. It’s also better than all the other pacific maps. But it’s not brilliant. I’ve played it as US and Japanese on breakthrough, US will usually steam roll with 4-5 tanks. The 1-2 Japanese tanks if they have any are overwhelmed.. Japanese could do with 2-4 cannon emplacements and some type 37 AT guns in key positions. I’d have had less inaccessible areas as well as narrowing the roads and rivers… jungle fighting was much closer range than this. ---

Yeah I have suffered from quite a few Tank deaths but overall I mostly enjoy the map. ---

The draw distance for those LODS popping in is unacceptable IMO. It must be set to 10-20 meters for some of those foliage assets. Its always been an issue but I suppose this map’s environment just highlights it even more. Maybe that’s just on console. After playing a few hours the map is probably on par with the rest of the Pacific content which is an improvement from what came before. ---

Played it for an hour or so and I like it partly because it’s going to take a while to learn. I was in a party with my ex bf players who now play cod telling them they would like this one. I didn’t like wake very much especially bt too many farming tanks and planes so this is half better. ---

Great map, or it will be when 6.2 drops at the moment this game is more stressful than it is fun ---

I like it a lot, though I am not very good at the CQC this map seems to require. . . . In fact, bad at CQC, especially each time I got on, I had a ping over 100 instead of my usual 50 or so. ---

Map could be really good… but on breakthrough especially on the defending side its really not fun, i dont think its really due to map design (although more cover might be better) but tanks in general, in most maps are a bit too strong, seems like a couple of good tank drivers can steam roll an entire team ---

I almost ALWAYS play Breakthrough, seems a bit more realistic from a strategy standpoint. Just played Conquest and had an ABSOLUTE BLAST!! The layout of the map lends itself to an organized version of Conquest Chaos. Plenty of boats to get around, Plenty of flanking, Plenty open spaces, Plenty of jungles. . . tanks not as important in Conquest [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/so-whats-the-verdict-on-solomon-islands-map/107476.md?page=2) [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/so-whats-the-verdict-on-solomon-islands-map/107476.md?page=4)
