Shame bro, because they got the VOIP right, right out of the gate. It's fun playing with noob squaddies, but I miss my bro's. Fun running and gunning in maps. Plus more gunless choppers spawn, which had immense feels in DC. AA seems more balanced.
Maps still need to be a biiiiit bigger. But the water maps (hainan?) are amazingly fun, boat combat rules.
Net code seems sound, so I don't get it beej, wats your major malfunction?
So let's just skip the irrelevant nonsenseical between ours above (the fuck's goin on?!) lol
I bought the game, just because I could give a fuck less if I lose $65 on a shit purchase, I do alright for myself. I'm still going to give it some honest time and
try to like it, because I've got nothing else going on :/ And like you say, I really do miss the bro's, especially on beeftree, happy-clappin fools together.
My beefs are this: cheesier graphics and animations (let's be serious, it's like the BC2 engine; hence why right out of the gate I can max this game to its absolute best and not stutter below 80FPS; in comparison, bf3 was 50-60 maxed (all settings maxed, just to test). Ok, graphics aside, it's not really that important to me - game on. But the animations - it feels like the movements are from some shitty metroid game from SNES - wtf, who steps
backwards in development?!
Maps are a shitload smaller - hopefully some expansions are better, but again, that's more money down the Jewish drain.
The Deployment screen and screen where you configure your kits are
insanely complex, busy and the very opposite of user-friendly. I have a hard time just seeing wtf's going on when looking at the irrational layout.
Spawning - You
will continually be spawned in the same exact place, inbetween enemies who will instantly kill you over and over and over and over.
Sound - Just cuts the fuck out and all you can hear is your vehicle's horn or something else. No excuse for this.
You
must update your graphics drivers otherwise the game will flat-out not load. This, however, has fucked a lot of us for other games we might play (I noticed TF2:GO took the biggest hit - and this was before our network issues).
The weapons' movements, fire patterns and overall feel = completely ripped from any 10-year old Halo or Call of Duty. Flat out copy paste. I will not be any surprised if they (devs for the aforementioned games) sue the fuck out of EA, like Samsung and Apple slapping dicks in court. It's just not battlefield. To me, CS:S = BF3 and CS:GO = BF4. They made BF4 easier for any 12year-old pimple-faced P90 player (TexasWalkerRanger, for example) to join up and go 20-3 with some shit gun.
I just think this game is incomplete, and some will argue that a lot of the above can/will be fixed through EA's notorious 3GB updates. But will they? Look at how much broken shit persisted in BF3. EA doesn't give a fuck, we know this well by now.
And so here I am, hating the game I just [knowingly] wasted $65 on.
