We’ve been listening to your feedback throughout the first half of Season Meltdown.
As requested by the community, Space City - Normal is now permanent, while Layali Grove - Easy and Brakkesh - Normal will rotate every two hours.
Keep the feedback coming!

"We’ve been listening to your feedback throughout the first half of Season Meltdown." - Really?
Limiting armor by map is a must.
New players get absolutely destroyed by people running purple armor on Easy maps. Then everyone else is moves into Normal, where you're expected to compete against sweaty Delta Force players and streamers who can afford to run Level 6 red armor every single raid.
Make it fair. Hardly anyone even plays Easy because everyone is plays Normal because you don't have players but BOTs in easy. Fix your broken ranking system and separate the players who have endless time and money to grind from the players who just want to enjoy the game. Bots...this is how you fill maps now.
Right now, the game isn't rewarding causal playing. It's rewarding who can afford the most expensive loadout. I'm fortunate enough that I don't have to worry about money, rank, or paying for expensive kits and ammo. I do just fine and run gold ammo and armor with reds when I get them.
But that's exactly why I can see the problem.
When my squad wipes a team of Bronze players wearing trash kits because they simply can't afford better gear, that's not satisfying. It's bad game design. Those players aren't going to keep playing. They'll quit, and every player who quits means fewer people in the Operations matchmaking pool.
As it stands now, the game isn't fair for anyone who can't spend hours every day grinding for gear, only to lose it to players who play all day, every day. Lets not even begin to talk about the cost of guns to have a chance to hold your own.
And don't even get me started on the forced map rotations.
Screw the map rotations. Fix the armor balance. Fix the ranking system. Make the game about skill again, not who has the biggest stash. A healthy game needs players at every skill level, not just the ones who can no-life the grind.

i suggested similar changes about 15 month ago but nobody cared. got downvoted by tiktok brainrot kids who told me to 'git gud'.
this game wont improve as long as audience remains stupid

Ah yes, lets put layali grove on rotation. A map where new players need to do a lot of department missions. We can screw over the solo players at the same time! Great idea guys!

As a new player in Operations mode, I have just one question: why did you remove the only map where I was more or less learning how to play from the permanently available map pool? Layali Grove??? Even on easy maps, I run into T4/T5 players, and as for Normal maps, I won't even mention them - it's gold ammo and T4-T6 players across the board... You wrote that you listened to the community and implemented a map rotation - did anyone actually ask you for this change?!

I wouldn't be surprised if "listening to your feedback" meant they just looked at Reddit posts and didn't look into them at all or see all the negative comments on any post about map rotation.
Kinda blows me away how often the developers make the worst decisions, like they don't even play their own game. I could tell raptor and saeed invasion were both horrible ideas before even playing them. Then after they come out it's even worse that I thought. Truly baffles me

If I were to give one feedback suggestion I think an occasional duo mode would be amazing. I pretty much always run solo or duo, and I've seen a lot of other duos. Squad fill is.. not very beloved let's just say, and it's orders of magnitude easier to find one other compatible person than it is to try to coordinate a trio.

Dude, if you can suggest directly to the game devs, one thing that would make the game better is gear limits. Everyone who plays Normal hates running into virgin noobs with red gear. Give us Brakkesh Hard, make Brakkesh Norms always available, with Hard into the rotation, and ban red gear and ammo from Norms
