But I agree most all games come out around Christmas. It sucks and it’s how I’ve fallen behind. ---

> [@CSO7777](#): > > That’s right. > > But it seems like the starting point (for balance) is way better than BF1/BF4. Both of these games had balance issues from the beginning, and some of them couldn’t be fixed, without making very fundamental changes to the game, which Dice will not do. > > This can only make you hope that Dice will keep the overall balance like it is now, and that they only need small adjustments to the game in the future. > > But, only time will tell… My only concern is that, unless this one is different, dice Sweden drops the game and dice LA does all post launch content. I dont have a whole lot of regard for that studio and the whole system of giving the game to another studio to balance after launch is silly imo. ---

I did have some fun in the beta but have low expectations for it overall if I were being brutally honest. I’m mostly buying it so the box can go on what my partner calls my shelf-o-shame, and partly because it’s my favourite series. ---

I knew about the recon exclusivity, I didn’t know it was an option by default, that’s even better Definitely going with recon for the first little bit then, try my best to put effective use into the spot scope as well in light of the flare changes ---

I still think many guns are way too easy to control, and some specific weapons also don’t spawn with enough ammo. I feel like I’m constantly running out of ammo with the AL8. I don’t really seem to notice that problem anywhere near as much while using the G43. [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/battlefield-5-redemption/105865.md?page=1)
