Suez is a cavalry users wet dream for easy pickings.
Suez is terrible altogether. If you've spawned as the Brits you can basically give up, for you're not winning. I played a match the other night as the Ottoman team and it ended 1000-250 with us holding all of the flags. Even if you don't bother going for A, you can set up shop at B and massacre everyone from the sand dunes as they approach it.Levin said:

Nonsense. I've won many times from both sides, if you get pushed back to either end you are screwed.Some funny moments from tonight

I've won as the British before as well, but I still think the map design favours the Ottoman faction. Getting pushed back to your home flag is a definite problem on this map given how linear it is but you need a very good initial roll-out from the British team to stand a chance of pushing the Ottoman forces back. Checking online, I'm not the only person who feels Suez (in Conquest at least) has a substantial bias; other people have proposed additional rebalances like this:
The way I see it, if you take C from D and you've got a team that can play Team Deathmatch, you've got a good chance of winning due to the natural high ground around C and excellent sightlines. Even the armoured train can't redeem you from a major deficit because of how far it is from the battle it enters. The Dreadnought on Fao Fortress is similar but I think it's a much better map. Half the power of the train is that you can park up on any flag and be confident you'll get it, with C and D on Amiens making it a map where the train can directly capture two flags itself.
My problem with Suez is people don't concentrate on just holding their home two flags and C - they push up to the next one and allow the other team to get behind them. Once your down to 1 flag it's game over from either side. Train guarantees a loss... like you've said it can't capture flags but people don't seem to take out the buildings/cover either.

The field guns are disgusting if you've got an enemy train that isn't being used effectively. There are two at C, but neither can see the train until it pulls forward a bit. A friend and I blew the enemy train to bits in about two minutes. To give you an idea of how organised the enemy team were, I hopped off the field gun and got shot to death by someone with the MG08 pick-up weapon.He was standing right behind me, waiting for me to blow the train up.
It didn't make sense to me either but was probably the funniest death I've had in the game. I'm relieved it wasn't a Gas Mask kill at least.

Do you guys mainly play Conquest?
I pretty much exclusively play Operations for longer sessions or War Pigeons for short bursts.
Conquest seems to lack the purpose and jeopardy of those game modes.
Yeah conquest seems to be the most played mode - Operations is a stacked game. It annoys me when you defend a sector to lose it suddenly because one flag is capped and another is in the process of being defended and then come face to face with an enemy airship. Ad infinitum repeat. Even more annoying when your team decides to rod off the objectives in operations and snipe.

It'll be interesting to see the DLCs implementation.
I agree that the Conquest game mode lacks direction. Not sure what you can do for it as in essence it hasn't changed since BF4. The player base has - that's where the problem lies Too many focussing on K/D and one on ones than the objectives. CODkiddies.
Interestingly played BF4 today with VantageMech, KittySway and MattDon - BF1 is significantly faster both in movement and gameplay. Still the same old faults, most are present still in BF1 too. It was nice to have an accurate weapons system for once - An M249 on Locker is monstrous - BF1 LMG's I'm looking at you... I spent a considerable amount of time knocking heli's from the sky (6 in a round) with the SMAW. Forgot how good/annoying a fine crew is in the flying coffins.
BF4 seems more populated than it was upon BF1s release. Hardly any empty servers today.
Suez is an ok map, I stick to the buildings around D/B as anywhere else its just ridiculous death streaks from Cavalry or Wesley's.
P.S. I got VantageMechs and KittySways tags on BF4 within seconds of each other... glorious...

That's not the map's fault though, it's people not thinking tactically. Get and hold c first off, and as you say hold your two home flags and that, and you're sorted. youngsyr said:

Mostly conquest, I love ops but it's a bigger investment in time. But if I've a couple of hours to spare, I'll always hop on ops first.I pretty much exclusively play Operations for longer sessions or War Pigeons for short bursts.

Thanks for the update- keep us posted!
Played for a few hours on Sunday of BF1. Rainbow Six - Siege took most of the time this weekend (as it was free play).What boils my blood currently with BF1 is the loading time of the games. Operations seems to be worse. I know/guess there is alot of things going on in the background such as searching for available servers, matchmaking etc. but its infuriating. BF4 loads much faster into multiplayer.
Also had 2 games recently (1 this weekend) when I load into the swapn screen to have the HUD, but the screen is black. Whilst i would like to think this is a special hidden blind mode from DICE. You are at a significant disadvantage as you cant see what you shooting at other than on the minimap. Gives a new meaning to trench warface in Kaiserslautern (Xbox One)
Completed the Domination medal this week. Currently working on Medic (level 6)
