Pros

• Strong communication and coordination between teammates throughout the event.
• Troops had a great time, especially with vehicle engagements.
• Performance in the second match was outstanding and well-coordinated.
• Effective and strategic use of LATs
• Aggressive and focused approach to attacking objectives paid off.
• Gun trucks were utilized exceptionally well, maximizing vehicle capabilities.

Cons

• The comms mod forces squad comms over local voice chat because enemies could hear other team.
• The fatal shot mod wasn't explained clearly before the event, causing confusion.
• Transitioning between objectives (back and forth) felt excessive and disrupted flow.
• Fireteam cohesion broke down, with little coordination at the team level.
• The fatality mod often prevented medics from performing their roles effectively due to instant player deaths.
• Squad Leaders could have made better use of map markers to communicate plans and positions.
• While the mods that were used in the op were interesting, it may have detracted from core gameplay and could be reconsidered for future events.
