What´s really missing ..
The way i remember Battlefield is that there has been always conquest mode.
In older games like BF1942 and BF2 there were some objectives which were like really strategic points because for example it was a heli or tank spawn point which gave you a little advantage. So it was really worth fighting for that place. Now it felt like most players were just running around for the kills without any goal. Even with tanks they prefered to camp and collect the kills instead of help capturing some place.
I know that´s not a developers problem because it´s the players which destroy the experience but on the other hand it´s somehow designed to play it this way.
That´s why Battlefield is not back (to it´s roots), als least not for me. It´s just another modern shooter.
But it was a fun experience to play the beta. We´ll see if the final game will be worth buying..
