First impressions of the beta:
- Destruction is good and definitely feels closer to BFBC2 than any BF game I've played since it, but it is too much. Large sections of the maps are levelled within minutes of a game starting. Yes it's cool but given it is pre-programmed to fall a certain way it just makes the map look a bit stupid coming towards the end of a match. I feel like BFBC2 was the same, but that it generally took some time to get to this point? Small tweak could fix it.
- Classes feel so, so much better than games like 2042. Not a big challenge but it feels like back to the simplicity of the old days which is great. There is also a mode that restricts weapon swapping so you can have it like old school where you only have one weapon type per class which I think is a great option.
- Didn't get to try air vehicles yet unfortunately, but land vehicles feel good. Spent one game as engineer and my main aim was defending and repairing our tank while it defended our objective, and I also jumped in and kept RPGing opposing tanks to give it a hand as well as buildings enemies were targeting it. Played a huge part in us finally keeping them back and holding out for the win. Inside the tank felt as good as it generally does although the maps I played weren't as suited to tank warfare as others will be.
Oh and somehow, this was my very first kill. I was sure I had picked assault but I must have flicked L2 and I genuinely didn't even notice until I pulled the trigger and realised holding it down did nothing.
