I tried it and had a pretty good time, of course biggest complaint was getting sniped all the time and the damn medics not doing their jobs, but having the any player can revive you and medic pull you is pretty great. Honestly haven’t had fun with a shooter like this in a while.
It’s a shame that EA has their big fat face on it but otherwise, yeah, I liked it.
To me, a major point of irritation from the last couple of Battlefields was the fact that most players had no interest in playing more tactically. Squad leaders never giving orders, players not following orders, dudes just hanging in tanks for the entire match…
The beta felt like a much quicker game, with the squad order suggestions solving part of the issue for me. But it also means no squad bonuses and the quicker gameplay felt more like CoD on the sense that it’s more of a shooter and less of an all-out tactical warfare game.
Nevertheless, I liked the overall feel and the fact that it just felt a lot lighter than the previous iterations. Purists will hate it and I agree with their points but if you don’t see it as a Battlefield but just as a shooter, I thought it was really good. €70 good… I’m not so sure.
I don’t really recall much in terms of true cooperation / deep tactical gameplay in any Battlefield game, at least not with strangers.
You probably want to check out Squad, Hell Let Loose, Rising Storm, etc
Battlefield has always been more on the “Arcadey” side
For me, the appeal of modern Battlefield (Bad Company and later) has been the feeling of moment to moment chaos and intensity that other large scale warfare games otherwise deliver after a long buildup of tension.
