Initial feedback after just one round:-
It is slower and more tactical than BF but not to the same level of HLL when that was released.
The gameplay is slow, you die and have to then spend 5 minutes getting back into the action, which can become annoying quickly if you join and die quick a couple of times.

It has the same thing that annoys me about BF.
You are levelled so you can't have any decent guns till you have played the game long enough to unlock and start with a really shite gun.
You can loot other players you kill for better guns.
The more I got into the map as well, the more sniper fags were on the map, seems the game is sniper heaven and it is one shot kill.

The game has potential however it needs a lot of QOL improvements before I consider a purchase.
It is also massively refreshing to see a game have leaning in the game, I really miss Q and E from modern PC FPS games.

If you walk… take the heli and it’s not 2 minutes. Take the deployment truck, 10 sec! It’s not that bad, imo. Also, don’t die that often. 😉

leaning could be a tad faster, imo. Did not use it much for now.

I really enjoyed what I played this weekend.
It’s so calm, not as hectic as BF and COD. Plus, next to shooting, I was doing so much other stuff.

Ok, 5 minutes might be a slight exaggeration but if you take anything other than a chopper it feels a very slow process.
The teamwork element is a very good part of the game as you have to work together to take objectives, unlike the sheer crap run and gun of Call of Battlefield.

The game definitely has potential but needs some QOL which should be fixable quickly and TBH I know gamers want to be rewarded for what they are doing but when you are a casual player who might play an hour or two now and again, being locked to the crap weapons and items is not going to make me want to play the game further.
Those who play it most will not only be better at the game, they also have all the best weapons and unlocks.
There has to be a better way for the game to be more equal for casual players and players who play all the time.
They also need to do something about the effectiveness of snipers as well, I have not had a sniper rifle yet as not unlocked one but one sniper can take out a whole team with headshots from around 800m away.

The small amount I played it so far, it is massively different to the absolute carnage of BF and CoD.

I am not sure if I would buy this on launch but definitely something to keep an eye and probably purchase in 6 months to a year when it is more polished.

Played some more of the game and it does offer something different.
It is much more tactical and requires some planning to win objectives.
The game IMO is better than BF, but then I hate BF now as it is just a CoD clone with tanks.

It kind of feels more like what BF used to be back in the good old days of BF1942 and BF2 where you used to have to work with your squad to capture objectives.

As stated before it has potential but it really needs more time to be more polished and have better balance.

At this moment, I will probably wait a few months before purchasing.
By then it would of received feedback fixed some of the QOL and balancing issues with the game.

The other concern is I hope that the game doesn't go in a new direction when it is released on console.
Once the game is released on console, I can only imagine the console crowd will still moaning it is too slow and takes too long to do stuff and then they start speeding the game up and making more CoD.
I love the fact that it isn't full of 64 players running around sliding on their arse round corners and shotgunning a whole squad in the face before sliding off on their arse again to get someone else - Cos why crawl running a target when I can run and slide on my arse and shotgun people.
