Pretty much every Battlefield beta has been extremely buggy and when the game comes out most of those bugs are fixed and entirely new bugs are introduced instead. However, I don't think any previous beta had the map just flat out not work.

Depends what you mean by "not work" but Siege of Shanghai in the BF4 beta and for a significant time post-launch were non / barely playable

I’m sorely missing the ability to see what kits my squad is running. Who has ammo? Medkits? No idea now.

Also I kinda hate the specialist system. Let me choose my class with its associated weapons and kits such as ammo and meds.

We rammed another car at top speed from the opposite direction and then they both flipped and rocket launchers came out and we were shooting each other through the flaming wreckage, A+ would recommend

Probs not, considering the beta has issues with normal mkb keybinds. You're better off using a gamepad over a joystick anyway, I don't think they've been supported for the past couple of BFs

Wait, can PC players actually see what the different control schemes are? On console you just see "default/legacy/legacy southpaw" with no indicator what any of those mean.

As much fun as I'm having, I do agree with a lot of the nitpicks.

The anti-vehicle weapons seem a lot weaker in this than in BF4 were. Maybe you just need to unlock stronger ones.

The AT launcher seemed pretty solid to me so far, though having just three shots does make it difficult to actually kill vehicles on your own unless you get great positioning or an ammo bag.

But yeah, judging from the earlier games there'll likely be a selection of launchers with a sliding scale of ease of use vs. damage. Chances are the Carl Gustav falls somewhere in the middle damage-wise, since the projectile is pretty fast and drop quite gentle.

I think part of the problem with people not taking the medcrate / ammocrate may be because you have to hang by it for a couple seconds for it to fill your stuff and this map is very wide open.

Plus people are still figuring it out. Just had a great round where everyone in my squad was rezzing each other and it was great. I'm a big fan so far and this made me more excited for the release :unsmith:

I don't know what changed but the hit registration issues are gone for me, and it's a much more enjoyable game as a result.

Also the magnum with the biggest scope is insanely good for out-sniping people.

ive been thinking about it and I wish that each specialist had an extra gadget slot with a fixed gadget. For example, Falck would always have the medcrate, boris would always have a repair wrench etc. Make it the less exciting and teamplay focused gadgets so that way they might actually get used. Also, if say MacKay always had an ammocrate, then you could go up to any MacKay and know for certain that they would have ammo. You can still equip those gadgets on any specialist, its just that some gadgets are now baked in with specific specialists

This would solve a lot of issues I have with the specialist/loadout system they have right now. Im really worried that almost noone is gonna go with teamplay focused gadgets since there are cooler things like rocket launchers competing for that slot. It would also give a bit more flavor to each specialist that I think most ppl would appreciate

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Only issue I'm having is that it seems like the PCC config of the assault rifle is just objectively the best overall gun. Like on this map I just can't see a reason to bother with anything else. Maybe in a smaller, tighter map I'd rock a shotgun. Or if I cared about sniping there's that. If I just want to run around and make people dead though it's basically just "Take a 9MM M4".

This poo poo on steam is the worst. EA going half in with this EA Desktop while still having Origin there loving sucks poo poo. Specifically Origin needs to be manually launched in order for me to start the game from Steam, and to launch Origin you need to manually close all background processes for EA Desktop if you have that installed. Half the time it fails to launch because EA Desktop started a new process automatically and there's a conflict between EA's own goddamn launchers. I have no idea if my experience with this is abnormal but I uninstalled the beta and refunded on Steam because it was that frustrating. I'll be buying it at launch for sure but not on Steam.

This owns yes, and being able to equip a silencer on the fly to pick people off in the woods Predator -style is a bunch of fun.

For me it's really hard to overstate how great this attachment system is. I really enjoy the DM7 marksman rifle, which normally would not be something I would use. But being able to set it up for CQB and long range engagements in the same life as your situation changes?

I had a moment where I grappled an enemy jeep from the side as it was backing up at speed. The grapple slingshot me ahead of the jeep, facing it, and I emptied a magazine of AP rounds though the windshield and into the driver's face.

Yeah the hook is cool.

So will this just limit you to playing one of the 10 specialists? No making your own dude and customizing camo and whatever else? For all its issues, I liked that BFV took a step towards making the soldier your own, so to speak, so to see them (for some weird-rear end reason) step away from that to instead copy hero shooters in a game that's decidedly not a hero shooter would be disappointing.

Other than that, the negative mouse acceleration sucks, the complete lack of visual distinction between friend and foe sucks, the gunplay is disappointing, the graphics are underwhelming and it all just feels extremely meh.

Add me to the list of people who thinks specialists are dumb. Bring back generic soldiers and make the abilities a selectable equipment slot. Too late though, they've recorded tons of voice acting and prepped a whole bunch of skins to sell.

they could pretty easily repurpose them as selectable option independent of the abilities (assuming 80% of the lines aren't winking references to whatever their "thing" would have been), that works just fine for COD

FYI you can attach C4 to the drone. The drones are hard to see and have a very long range so you can fly it right onto some infantry and kill them easily.

Enjoy this before they make C4 unable to attach to drones.
