Bush camping. Putting aside the other issues like Outposts being able to be updated/ placed every 90 seconds meaning an enemy squad lead can constantly place spawns deeper and deeper flanks. The biggest flaw is there is ZERO discouragement from actual bush camping. 90% of either team are sitting in bushes, nearly invisible if not moving due to poor graphics, shader and colors etc. If they aren't moving, chances are you can't see them past 50 meters, also, it's like your actual player models eyeballs are nearsighted, everything is scaled and looks like it is far away, you can't pick out much detail at 100 meters, so how can you see player models in a shadowy bush? You can't. The bushes don't move, moving through them doesn't make extra noise or slow you down, and it doesn't stop you from aiming at perfect accuracy from within.

All this means is, if you like bush camping and sharp shooting, you'll like this, but if you are at the disadvantage of dying and having to get back to a bush, you won't, someone will pick you off while you are running at a full sprint from several hundred meters off.

Also, there is no main protection zone, which means that players can and DEFINITELY DO camp your hard main spawns like if you get pushed back. Spawned, took 5 steps, and got shot in the gut. Not a fun game, there is a LOT to do, and hopefully OWI can do it. I've got ofer 1500 hours in Squad, and i'm going to stick to that, this game has more negatives than positives in it's current state.
