Last days I bought EA Acces (one year)
I was always a Battlefield fan and after liking the beta, I thought that all the critics may be exaggerated, this is what I found in 2 days.
Trying to search a match:
First of all, the menu is confusing. Why did you even change it? It was great and simple in BF1.
Like every Battlefield fan, I like big modes, but most of the matches were Patrol Conquest, Free for All and Team Death Match, something that annoyed me a little because I think the Battlefield essence are big chaotic battles. At least there is more servers than the previous game.
Gameplay:
Simply great, maybe polish a little some thing that you can’t jump, but very comfortable. Commorose in the other hand, has not just less options, but they’re horribly arranged. Also, there is stupid desicions like marking enemies, wich is really hard to get use to or the fact that if you’re not a medic you can only revive your squad mates. Fortificate is a great adition, but it barely gives points and players don’t do it (I do)
Maps:
Suck. Doesn’t feel like a war, this is the biggest conflict in human history, why are all the maps so happy and colorful? If I wanted to play in some Heidi styled town I would play Pokémon. Maybe Twisted Steel and Panzerstorm have a dirty feeling to it but no more. The recent map of Marita is unbalanced at it’s best, irruption is unplayable due to the high ground the defenders have.
Weapons:
Half of them are from BF1 so… unbalanced, all I see is STG44, Thommys, Lewis and AT Boys rifle. I’m sick of shooting an enemy 30 times only for them to turn around and insta kill me with these weapons. Idk if it’s because of these or it’s just lag. Will need your thoughts.
Matches:
Very surprisingly tied, some matches have a 35 tickets difference, even 5. So sad this is due to the way this game is played, having such a low TTK (Time to Kill) scares players and makes them camp the whole match. If this was fixed the game would change a lot, people will move around the map and be less dirty.
Bugs:
Expected more, the most annoying was when I first grabbed a plane and got killed by and UFO or something like that.
Others:
The menus barely work during a match, weapons and appearances sometimes never load, when I try to customize something in the spawn menu it changes to the respawn map before the match starts. It sucks that you have to go to the main menu to claim your rewards.
The game needs a ton of GOOD content before being a good Battlefield game. A WW2 game simply cannot be launched without Japan,USA or the USSR. This is the biggest mistake from DICE, unknown battles doesn’t give the game a special feeling, of course they happened, but are nor as entertaining as Berlin, Omaha Beach or Okinawa. I hope you learn this for the next updates.
