Yeah, some douchebags pulled a DDOS attack, and that's why the servers were down for hours. Fucking assholes.
Despite the fact that my experience was quite buggy and had a large amount of lag, I have to say that I was quite happy with it overall. What sucked, though, was one of the bugs I had was that when I went to customize my classes and upgrade weapons, it would say I was at level 0, so nothing was unlocked. I haven't got a chance to really try out the classes. Overall, it's much needed return to form for the series after Hardline, though. I enjoyed the level design, and the only real balancing issue I found was that the machine gun on the light tanks weren't strong enough. My favorite addition to the game was the blue/red meter that showed the proportion of how many enemies vs. teammates were there when you were trying to take the flag.
Oh, and I hated all of the goddamn snipers, but that's not the game's fault. Definitely a day one purchase for me, and this may be the first game I actually consider buying a season pass for. The DLC's for the Battlefield games are always legit.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
