Why does this game feel more like CoD or Rainbow 6: Siege than Battlefield?

Arras is not a bad map to cruise around on with a vehicle. Its actually a lot of fun to drive around on Arras with the Staghound tank-buggy. And Aerodrome may be not as large as BF 4 maps like Golmud Railway, but it is definitely not call of duty sized small.You also have to see that not a lot of people want to play maps which are as large and empty as Golmud Railway. They cant make 8 maps of that type orelse more then 3/4 of the community would stop playing the game.Most of the players run around as infantry and for infantry its not fun to run several minutes to get from one point to the other. Beside good luck dodging all the sniper bullets, from snipers camping half a mile away, headglitched behind some random level geometry, while you run around on this large open maps. You could see that in the custom map rotations on rented servers in BF3,4. Not much of them had those extrem large, wide open maps in their playlists in BF3,4.

Oh please i played BF 3 & 4 long enough, especially on rented servers and Maps like Caspian Border, Bandar Desert, Goldmud Railway or Dragon Pass were liked because they were big but had certain areas were you could have a tense infantry fight and other places where Vehicles battled it out. And others where it all came together. Like the Village in Bandar Desert.
It all worked even with Snipers etc.
Here its mostly just one big fast paced, Infantry meatgrinding. And making the Assault class being the " Super Class " makes total sense in hindsight.

They where liked by you and other tank players. And there is nothing wrong about liking them. But they where not liked by the majority of other players , who play 80%, or something simular to that number, of their gametime infantry. I also dont like meatgrinder maps like Operation Locker. But Arras, Twisted Steel, or most of the other Battlefield 5 maps are nothing like Operation Locker or Argone Forest. The only Argone Forest like map in this game is Fjell. Even Devastation has not many chockepoints.

The thing where i would agree with you on is that the map borders could be a bit larger in some areas. To often you find yourself running into restricted spawn areas where the 10 second timer starts.Especially in some of the game modes where enemy player camp in their protected spawn areas and shooting at you but you cant really get to them. Thats not good and should be changed.
