Just had three matches. Well, I say three. I turned it off halfway through match 3. I'm afraid all I took away was 'janky, unfinished shite'.

The sooner they get away from this floaty feeling identikit shite the better. This, BF1 and the Battlefront games all feel like the exact same game but with different skins.

BF is dead.

If you haven't played any of the other BFs, then it would practically take a dissertation to explain why it's the worst BF (even Hardline was better, and it was a pile of shite), but suffice to say BF1 is by far and away the absolute low point in the series.

I've played pretty much every BF ever and BF1 is pretty good. It suffers from the same thing as every other BF - camping cunts, sniper cunts, shit lag, unbalanced teams, unkillable bastards, some rancid maps etc. But it's as good or better than many others in the series. I probably put the bones of a hundred hours into it. The season pass is a total waste of money and I'm sure the same will be true for the new one. Don't buy it.

What's wrong with BF1? I got it free with Gold and I've become a wee bit addicted to it. It's the only BF I've played for more than a handful of minutes, to be fair, so I wouldn't be able to tell you what's "wrong" with it compared to the other titles.

It has its issues, like any BF game, but I don't get the hate it gets here. I wasn't keen on it at first but then something clicked and I have spent a fair amount of really enjoyable time playing it.

This new one, the jury is still out. It feel better than the beta, but it's still not as good as BF1.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Kiss kiss kiss...

This is dirge tier.

NOT LIES!

I've been playing all day and I'm having a ball!
Are there issues? Yes. It's a Battlefield launch, so there are always technical issues, but I'm having great fun with this one, and I can see the potential.

It's not bad

I'm not sure what's going on. There's either something gone wrong with Franny or G. 
I can't decide which. 

Said it before, but in a game like this most of the feel is in the gunplay and it feels great.
My KDR was terrible in the trial but I didn't care. If I missed or fucked up it was because i wasn't good enough.  
For me, to be a true great BF it needs a couple more gadgets, but in truth I don't see how they can add any more, it wasn't a technological war, well not in a individual soldier sense.

My only other concern is this lack of season pass. It will need regular injections of new maps, guns and factions to keep it interesting, whether EA will commit to this without loads of premium pass money up front remains to be seen. What they've outlined so far is a bit scant, way less than previous season pass promises and not very encouraging tbh.

Still, i think it's worth £40 so, wotevs.

It feels floaty, like the other recent BF games. The team play is less than non existent. You may as well be playing team death match, and then a dice gets rolled to determine the winner at the end. The guns feel shit, the snow map is one of the worst maps ever designed in the history of FPS's. It's glitchy as all hell. Waiting for a revive and you fall below the map virtually every single time.

I honestly think its way worse than BF1, which is quite the achievement.

Nowt up with Blood Bowl. Or Vermintide for that matter.

BF1 probably has the best netcode in the entire series. Decent tick rate and no advantage to out of region players, if anything it's them who struggle. 

It does have problems with a lot of pretty poor map design, over complicated gun play, a horrible player population and all round bad vehicle play.

It's just a series that doesn't feel that great any more, it lives a bit too much off past glories and always needs a lot of dev tinkering to get the game working reasonably. DICE are a decent developer, but not a great one basically.

There's a big problem with a lot of the maps being designed for Operations rather than Conquest as well.
