Personally I really enjoy the new changes made to gameplay and the UI. No more having to hop around or figure out what is going on. I log in and I'm presented with the missions for my Brigade/Division, but if I want to I can still transfer over to another one to search for something else. Seems like the best of both worlds to me. Not to mention the new map is so much nicer then the old one with its 3 state zoom. Its alot more customizeable. The only thing I dislike about the new map is how you have to rezoom it to preferred state after spawning in, but I think the Rats have acknowledged that as a bug. I really like being able to access the keymapper from in my vehicles, if something is not working just right I can tweak it on the fly now. AO's have made for alot larger battles and more constant action, the new communications setup is alot easier to setup and use imo, rarely am I unable to get in touch with the people I need to at the time.
I really can't see alot of bad things about the new changes aside from the fact that they need to get Tables of Equipment maneuver warfare fully implemented to make it really shine. Work on solving the performance problem associated with swapping alot of textures on 100's of units at a large battle. And it would be nice to see personal spawn limits implemented so that if I log off for the night with a certain plane I can come back into the game and find one waiting for me or getting assigned to me shortly after arrival. THat would definately at a new fear of death element to the game.
