Thoughts so far on the beta

Generally, I am having fun, but there are some things that I really hope reach the developers, and it seems like I am not alone in the community.

SPEED; First off is the speed of the game. It feels way too fast-paced, which leads to things feeling chaotic for the wrong reasons. Chaos in past battlefield games came from a lot going on around you, but if you slowed things down, you could usually survive. Now we have people sliding and jumping around corners and just generally encouraging a twitchy playstyle that doesn't feel fun. Past battlefields were slower and felt better. This seems like an easy fix, and again, I am not alone in this.

MAP SIZE: It seems like they went the opposite direction after 2042's giant empty maps, and made extremely claustrophobic and dense small maps. That is fine for some of them, but I hope it's not a trend. Breakthrough is by far my favorite game mode and these feel too small to really get. sense of progress across a map.

MAP DESIGN: The sectors in the two maps available are incredibly samey. In past battlefields wehn playing breakthrough, each sector was distinct and presented different challenges, while also defending or attacking a point of interest that actually made sense as a place where an army would take a stand. Here, each sector feels unremarkable, and there is no sense of accomplishment for capturing it. I felt like Pacific War in Battlefield 5 did this very well, especially the beach attack. I hope there are more big, linear, and open experiences for breakthrough and conquest. I don't know if it's too late to make major changes to these current maps, but they could definitely be more interesting. from a sector perspective.

With the limited slice we have so far, that's all i've noticed. I really hope they do listen to feedback and make some changes, because the foundation is really solid in a way that 2042 was not. Maybe they wont have to spend months fixing the servers and glitches and instead fix the maps and add more content.

    3 small maps and 2 infantry only maps. Over half the maps on launch are going to mainly infantry focused. Big conquest maps with lots of vehicles seemed to be an afterthought for this BF game. They did a complete 180 from 2042s map design in the worst way possible
