The new Mercury map is god awful terrible, here’s why...

Winds up being one of the best maps in a game full of mediocre maps… Which is to say it’s still a pretty meh map in itself. Anyone claiming it’s one of the best BF maps is way off-base.

Breathrough is truly awful on this map. I get the use smoke comment, but at best you have 5 smokes and if you’re choosing medic for the smokes your gimping yourself with weapons that are terrible for many of the engagement ranges. A on the first sector is just awful as medic without a good team, shot from every which angle it seems like. The sightlines are just too big, it’s the same ole song and dance as the other maps.

Conquest is much better, but there are several areas that are clumsy to push because of decent sightlines between objectives, while the objectives or areas very near to them have plenty of hiding spots. Also clearing out some buildings can be a nightmare, the way the stairs are setup allow you to be shot from anywhere in the upper room. They’re terribly designed.
