Played the beta for probs 2 hours.
Would have played more but the game kept crashing!
Apart from the crashing, performance was generally good. High FPS and smooth, but the odd moment where a frame drops, but not that often.
Graphically it was very nice, but it didn't blow me away. Some bits looked great, and overlooking the Rotterdam map into the distance looked gorgeous, but other parts not as impressive.
Anyway gameplay, I a don't know, I cant put my finger on it exactly, but it didnt hook me. On paper it is fantastic, squad revives, better destruction, better gunplay, no spotting, new movement mechanic, new game modes. The list goes on, a lot of good stuff. But there was something about it where I was feeling pretty bored quite quickly.
It could be a mixture of lots of small things, that all I can think it is. The small things which bugged me... it still doesn't feel like old school battlefield games, where you spawn in quite a distance away, then use a vehicle (teamplay) to get to the objectives, then the battle begins. Now it feels like you spawn in and you're pretty much in the battle straight away.
Movement speed is still too fast, you can run jump climb etc., all in an instant, it takes away the realism a bit, and although it can be cool to dive out of a window and so on, it feels arcadey. I feel like slowing it down a bit would really help.
Squad play, well lack of. At one point when I was downed I had 3 friendlies stood next to me, and each of them actually ran past or over me without getting me up. It feels like apart from spawning on a team mate, squad play was none-existent.
Game modes - it could be linked to the above, but at times, especially on new game modes, I wasn't really sure what was happening. There seemed to be so much going on at one time on my screen, that is quite overwhelming. This is probably something which will get better once I get used to the modes, but yeah.
Destruction is still not where it should be imo. Maybe it was just the Rotterdam map, but too many buildings or walls just didnt budge.
I can only think it's a mixture of the things above which stopped me playing it more. Obviously the crashing every 5-10 mins didn't help, but I was finding myself wanting to play other games instead of this, which I have been waiting to play for months... only to feel a bit bored after a couple of hours.
Haven't pre ordered but was going to... I will wait and see now though. |
