Artilery:

-Can be called too soon,please give longer cool down periods
-Since it can be called too soon TL goes crasy with it and spams it all the time,it kills the gaming enjoyment since is performance killer = huge lag

Lockdown:

-game starts,2 min later I see lockdown timer saying 2 min before lockdown,this only stresses the attacker to move in faster and get mowed down,I need breather to think,scan the area and then execute because there are 3 campers with LMG and semi rifles waithing on me.If I have lockdown timer breathing down my neck and tells to hurry up offcourse I'm bound to make a mistake.This timer is bad choice to be implemented in the game,if my team sux game is over,I cant cap solo...

Ive played the beta almost exclusively with commander position and in my experience the mortars on some maps can seem like they come too often

However i only use them to support an attack by keeping a flank clear while team attacks another or defensively as we fall back


I think perhaps increase timer on mortars to 3 mins

Another thing ive noticed is that theres no real difference in killing power between artillery, and mortars which have the shorter cool down, so i almost never use the artillery or rockets as mortars will do the job

I think the explosive power or blast radius of the mortar needs to be toned down a bit
