Dammit, the Beta is having server issues, so I haven't been able to connect and play.

So... uhh... i kinda parked a bomber into the cliff on sinai... It didn't blow up but it wasn't going anywhere. Ended up getting out, and an invisible wall stopped me returning to the battlefield D:

Despite the server issues (DDOS?), I feel like it's probably one of the most solid and BROAD Battlefield games...
Unlike BF4, no vehicles feel useless. Everything from tanks, to planes, jeeps ... and shit... Even STATIC MACHINEGUNS are for once, fucking usefull!
And the fact that you can customize and choose what KIND of vehicle you want to spawn, just makes the entire battlefield so much more team-oriented and it makes coorporative teamplay so much more enjoyable and likely to happen!
I must say though...
I wish more than the scout class had the un-scoped bolt-action rifles (Though more inaccurate) as they are a fucking joy to play with...!
And the Machinegunner/Support class definitely needs some work. I feel like the MG's are pretty useless compared to other weaponry.

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.

I love the Cei-Rigotti Artillery rifle for the medic.
