Small Maps, Low Zoom Snipers – Odd Choice for a Battlefield Beta?
I found the map selection in this beta quite strange. We have two very small, tight maps, and even the so-called “large” map feels narrow and small. I was expecting something more in the style of Sinai Desert or Siege of Shanghai from previous open betas — those maps weren’t truly huge, but they felt like the standard Battlefield experience.
What makes it even stranger is how snipers have very limited zoom, almost as if they were intentionally designed for small-scale maps. It just feels a bit off.
On the positive side, the BF3/BF4 vibe is definitely present — much more than in BF2042, though not quite as strong as in BF1. Graphics are excellent, and the explosion/destruction effects feel carefully crafted. I didn’t encounter any bugs that affected gameplay; everything ran smoothly.
