Yup, still play it often with my regular crowd. Game is in the best state its ever been in, I've really got no complaints at all. Bots are still present, but they really aren't much of an issue and they don't at all ruin the experience for me.
Don't dislike any map per se and random is fine for us. As a rule, I'm generally less keen on Karakin as there is less of a flow to games given your almost constant vulnerability to being third partied.
After playing with the M416 for ages, I've decided to experiment using different guns. As such, I've REALLY got into using the UMP45 and I'm getting so many more kills with it. I think its because the recoil control is so much easier and its close range damage is actually really high - see WackyJacky's video. It struggles at anything over about 30-40 m but for that I use a DMR. 2x scope on a UMP on Karakin / Sanhok is just godlike. Main downside is that you need to loot as much .45 ammo as you can as the chances of you being able to replenish your stocks from dead body crates is low as nobody plays with .45! Its a massively underrated gun.
