i've played two maps zoo and resort and resort is pretty ct sided i think and zoo is a bit less ct sided
I only play the league maps pal and I don't know if I will buy the season pass yet. theres a nice new knife sound too lol.
Zoo is hilarious, not too keen on rails though and I'm yet to play on the others. I'm going to try and fully complete the missions for this operation as they are actually pretty fun
Zoo and Log are both smoke at start maps for a good head start. Rails is...meh a bit too big, I bet allot of camp is involved. Others I have yet to check propper.
