I was kinda excited to try the new map, because I thought it was going to be much larger. Yeah, this feels way more like COD than it does Battlefield. It was just a mindless TDM with some objectives tagged on.
I was considering buying it towards the end of the last beta, but now I'm over it. These maps are mostly pretty horrible, with one of the worst spawning systems in the BF franchise. I can barely hear footsteps, yet they're all around, and you can't quite pin down if they're above or below, left or right.
One of the biggest issues is that the networking is basically unplayable, or it's so frustrating that I can't continue to play this beta. TTK takes for ever, yet TTD is instant. Everyone somehow knows where you are at any given moment.
I can't find anything nice to say about this game, and I've been a huge fan since BC2. Every iteration needed some polish and tweaking throughout it's history, but this is just completely missing the mark. I'm thinking they really are going after the COD players since that game hasn't been doing so well. Trying to capture that market.
