I will reserve my final judgment until I’ve seen multiplayer footage and if possible by trying the beta myself.
While some of this additions/changes sound interesting or promising (gunplay, recoil patterns and so on), I am not convinced yet by some of them:
- I am not sure yet that we will see more squad/class diversity due to the health regen changes. The incentive to play medic will be very strong unless proven otherwise. I also believe that it might favour a somewhat campy playstyle with players hiding frightened to lose health in combat. We have seen with BF1 that frightened /campy players are not fun to play with
- fortifications look interesting but again it might favour a campy playstyle
- too many new animations (reviving, taking ammo/health, ledge grabbing and so on). I don’t have anything against that per se, but Dice has proven multiple times that their animations are never exempt of bugs
- Soldier over customisation? From what I have seen it looks like there will be many different ways to customise your soldier, including a skill tree and many different specialisations. Would like to see more of the impact the latter will have, but not a big fan of this if it means different soldiers will move differently and at different speed for example
