The map is alright and the soundscapes are a massive improvement, but...
* The Bank is a massive downgrade in terms of playability for anyone but the crim mains. IDK why they went the route of, "the whole bank is locked down and only one entrance in!" but its stupid. It took what was fun with the V5 bank, namely being able to sneak in through different entrances, playing in the parking lot, playing the roof, ect... And limits it to - Please walk into the AS50 and Grenade Spam. I do like the vent system, but even that feels very predictable. Oh no, they are going pumpstation or Reagals! And you just need to camp those areas to maybe kill one player before getting sent to blackscreen. The only other way of playing it currently is to raid the properties of the bank raiders and just camp inside of them.
* The view distances for certain areas are just awful. It feels like you can only see up too maybe 50 meters and then you lose sight of anything beyond that. This is most apparent with the highways and places like the water between Hicktown and Roxies. This feels like a massive downgrade compared to V5 where you could at least see out to 100 meters to 200 meters without much issue. This also makes following vehicles an absolute nightmare because if they go a certain speed, you lose sight of them within a matter of seconds.
* Being unable to go onto the roofs at Suburbs feels like a downgrade. I understand why it was done, but broooo that was so much fun.
* Some displacements around the wood cabins feel pointy compared to the smoothed out surface the rest have, and it's not uncommon to get caught on them and be stuck with no real recourse outside calling RC or prop pushing. I understand that displacements are a massive pain in the ass(i also map for this dumpsterfire engine), but really wish their was at least something like a rock on the pointy bits to prevent getting stuck.
* I hate the dumb system that pushes you off the railings. MASSIVE DOWNGRADE. Parkour is fun! Parkour is gamey! But it beats having to run up and down entire flights of stairs for no practical reason when previously you could have just bounced off the back and saved yourself a minute of time.
* Some doors currently have issues with the metal detectors and makes it so some of them refuse to open when crowbarred or battering rammed.
I'm not trying to be a buzzkill. The map is 100% an improvement, but several small things like the stuff listed above kinda mess with the vibe.
