The game shaping up to be a banger

Yep. BF4 vibes. Cannot wait. I just hope there's enough content available at launch.

Yep, liking what I’m hearing so far

[Blashted]

I'm loving the more faster paced movement this time around. That's one of the things I feel COD had an advantage on Battlefield over the years and this year it looks like Battlefield is stepping up their game in the movement department.

[DaCajun]

Yep let's just turn what used to be a good large scale team based somewhat tactical game into another COD clone.

[Vegamyster]

Wanting a faster and more fluid movement system that a competitor has doesn’t imply he wants a straight clone with no tactical gameplay on tiny maps lol.

[DaCajun]

@Vega
How fast is too fast, where it becomes just another twitch shooter and no longer tactical? I'm all for more natural fluid motion but Battlefield tended to border more on the realistic than arcadey in the past. Lately it's been going more arcadey and less and less realistic. I don't want it to be Arma type realistic but I don't like COD arcadey style speed, unrealistic movements, or shooting in my Battlefield.

[Vegamyster]

Nothing they've shown looks like Call of Duty, all he suggested was the improved movement system, given some of the maps are over 5KM and the ones we've seen so far are quite large i don't see where the concern is.

[blacktiger]

AND FAKE fast pace move! It's called RUNNING AND GUNNING

[Mikehunt]

Trash playtest. Capped at 30 FPS on pc like really how TF do u enjoy a game fast pace like that I know the game in test mode but alreast uncap it

[Fluke_Skywalker]

It's capped to remove variables from the test.

[frostypants]

Third person executions? Ugh. This isn't what I play BF for....

[MadLad]

You only play BF for 1st person executions?

[BlackDoomAx]

It seems they have borrowed some good things from Apex.

[RebDomine2]

bad game already, not a true bf game more like cod warzone. bf is dead.

[Fluke_Skywalker]

I've been playing in the playtest and while I won't break the NDA I will say that anything you do read take it with a huge pinch of salt. Over in the playtest forums the Devs have stressed many times that the build we are playing is months old and miles off the final version and that many if not most things will be different by the beta. This is purely a technical test for them to gather data. All I will say is that as a long time BF fan I am liking pretty much everything so far.

[TheHan]

Hope this technical test helps smooth the game closer to gold standard.

[Mroc13]

Can't wait for this!
