Game feels more like an arena game

you aint wrong brother.  I was thinking that too.     The movement also seems a little more fast paced,  the maps seem slightly smaller.  maybe i'm imagining it  But I need super high mouse sens cause the whole time i'm just spinning like a top and still getting shot in my back haha.  And I was thinking the same thing like wow this is intense like quake.     

And I guess that is also the COD aspect, a game I never played,  but there because infantry are literally immune to most explosive and flak damage especially from vehicles.   Something also unprecedented for a bf game.    They also took out alot of teamplay commands.  little by little with every bf through the years.  SO its been a gradual process of turning it into COD and this is the simply the furthest it has evolved.  and its because thats what people want brother.  I blame the school systems and the internet dumbing down our kids.  I mean you are talking about communities that say pwning noobs is competitive lmao.  and the watch their favorite streamers sandbagging for a living and its allowed.   Metro was one of the most popular maps in the franchise brother.  And its because all the aimbots just want to hold w and shoot through walls.  I kid you not.   

back in my day we could segregate ourselves from trolls, but then they got ddos power to take down servers so people stopped hosting them.    Now unsportlike trolls are the whole community.     And whats scary is that gaming is simply a microcosm of society,  and this woke ideology

But all that being said I enjoy the tank play in this game much more than bfv.  And I do like that infantry can actually kill them now.  It still feels like bf,  just smaller and faster.   I only play conquest btw.

I thought we stopped having our own servers because the IP holders wanted more control on killing off a game.
