Thought I'd give that Hell Let Loose that's free on psn a go as a palette cleanser to this. Fuck me. People don't know how to make shooters these days. Hours of trudging about and no action. Utter shite

PUNK ROCK MOSH PIT LADS!

Like pulling teeth, innit g?

Had a bit of fun in a random squad there who actually pushed objectives and revived one another. Weapons feel weird though, and my aim is shite.

A glimmer of potential, and by the time its realised it'll be on GamePass so win win.

For the love of god. Turn cross play off.

The small install base of the new consoles probably means that they're far too keen stick with it.

Two games with crossplay turned off.
Christ it’s infinitely better. No getting headshot beamed at distance by an SMG.
The PC players must be absolutely loving it.

Second game had a lot of AI in it as it was late at night.m and all the console kiddies were going sleepy-bo-bos.
Went 44-0 in a tank.
Actually had a chance to see how they work and perform.

Aim assist balances the controller vs M&KB thing pretty well if they’ve done it right. COD has no issues.

Despite the odd graphical glitches and not being able to shoot straight due to massive screen shake in tanks.
Iv really enjoyed what iv played so far.

Felt pretty much the same as the last few battlefields to me. I generally prefer the cod/warzone way of life over it these days, but I did like the whole attachments for your gun on the fly thing. Means you can adjust to all scenarios as you go.

Seems like class/weapon customisation is much improved in this one in general. Didn't encourage me to get it day one, but if it ends up in gamepass I'll grab it for mp shenanigans

It's a weird old mess. Teamwork with randoms seems likely to have disappeared with the map size and the change from classes to characters. My ammo crates were disappearing half the time anyway, but any sort of team interaction seemed very rare. Lots of people did seem to be trying to find ambush points between flags and stopping there, as if map control might be possible.

Gunplay is just odd, there's definite auto aim with the assault rifle, it maybe gets more accurate with a longer burst?. Up close it was very random and hip fire might have been the way to go. Couldn't do anything with the battle rifle and the SMG seemed like a terrible idea on that map.

Graphically it's pretty underwhelming. There's a level editor feel to the whole thing. Some nice shinies, but a lot of bland corridors as well.

There's too many bugs and glitches and missing features going on to really judge it. I suspect a lot of people will try and wait for it to be on EA Access and then get murdered by the people who jump in at launch. The numbers increase and class changes make me think it's not really Battlefiled, so I doubt I'll bother with the traditional half price purchase in December.

I had a bit of fun there for a couple of matches, but yeah, there's a fucktonne of jank. Couldn't hit a barn door with the assault rifle, and at one point emptied an entire clip into an enemy that was ten feet from me and didn't get one hit. Reloaded, and half way through the second mag it finally registered and downed him. I can only assume the servers are located off-planet. Maybe that's where the fucking rocket is headed?
The map is bang average, as everyone says. No real flow to any of it, and I suspect that organised squads could absolutely dominate, such is the overall randomness of it all.
...And yet, as I said, I did have a bit of fun. Hell it was just nice to play a Battlefield game that looks like 3&4, even if it isn't up to much.

Cheers pal, didn't seem to work earlier!

Back on it now and destroying in tanks etc.
Just held a point on my own with my sentry gun and racked up 28 kills!
(Some must be bots)

Ah didn't have time for that it was like playing a horde based shooter.

Is there unlocks in this as there just seems to be too many air vehicles with nothing to counter them except recoil-less rifles and they seem to take 3 hits to take anything out.
