I found the game a little better than a couple years ago. (I also took a 2 or 3 year break.) But I also don't like it, so stopped after a few matches
If there was a TRUE Hardcore mode on Conquest, and 32 player max matches - and maps to accommodate that - I'm pretty sure I would play more. I just can't stand the hand holding (dorito triangles revealing you and enemies, recons putting markers on you, gun lens flares, etc.), the overhead map zoom ins/outs, and the player movement/body awareness stuff. I guess I will have to wait to see if BF5 fixes any of this.
It's pretty sad when you try to snipe someone from a bush or behind a rock 100m away and they somehow know exactly where you are in 0.2 seconds and kill you with a machine gun from there, lol
Am hoping they just make a Battlefield: Bad Company 3, tbh
