i like it better than battlefield 1, and the map is certainly better than any of the bf 1 maps, but bf4 is still preferable for me

It's fun, but it's not 1942/1943 style of gameplay if that makes sense, there's the general favoritism and push toward smg's/full auto's rather then having rifles and things as one of hte main forefronts of a class like you had with the engineer/rifleman class in the older wwII games.
The map is quite dense with clutter and elevation changes, but it's also very open with multiple ways in/out of everything.
The aircraft seem near useless (at least in my experience), there's really not a good way to spot enemies on the ground and with all the clutter I never really saw the air vehicles as a threat, at all. In fact it seemed like the AA Flak were quite popular/easy at taking them out of the skies. They really do need a buff or something that gives them more to do.
I'd say so, although there's no visual recoil or anything so using the medic semi auto rifle can be jarring at first. Your shots go exactly where they should and your gun doesn't jump all over the place. It's possible to fight a sniper now.
ADA spam isn't as bad as past games. Sprint speed feels a touch slower overall.
you'll be happy to hear that character movement and gun play are the most obvious improvements, to me at least.
Thank god. BF1 felt so much more weightless/floaty than 3 and 4.
BF1942 never had rifles at the forefront. It was always SMGs/full autos.
edit: only engineer and scout classes had access to rifles in BF1942.
How are you finding lag playing in Australia? I'm having a rough time.
Bf1942 had rifles as the main weapon of the engineer class and 1943 had a rifleman class at the forefront (never understand with Dice never released it on pc, it was a blast).
Whereas with BF1 the non-scoped rifles are "variants" that are locked away, not sure how BFV is going to do but from beta the two classes with rifles (medic/scout) are both scoped rifles, I assume they have unscoped ones locked away as "variants" or such like BF1, but I'm not sure how they are going to do it.
love reading all the tactical changes/better game flow

It seems that you have never played a scout in BF.
I have always been a rifle player if possible. From the first BF. I have always been useful for my team. I used to first go into a position near a flag, kill all the snipers camping around it and then go to cap. I was fucking good with CQ combat with a rifle and pistol. Scope glint gives away my position, and it is pretty fucking hard to re-locate if enemy knows your general direction.
Going around with an assault weapon is the most braindead easy way of play, especially in the newer Battlefields where you can fucking countersnipe with an AR.
This. I agree so much with you. I have played a rifleman in every Battlefield. M1 Garand is my favourite weapon of all time in Battlefield.
But the weapon I want the most is a Finnish M/28, made from Mosin-Nagant. I want to go around without scope like Simo Häyhä.
And I was an engineer and a scout in 42. Because they had rifles. Rifle gameplay is so much more satisfying than bunnyhopping around and going full rambo. That is the CoD gameplay (especially in the new Battlefields) and I never liked it.
Anyone that has tried the alpha on a 280X and can say how it runs? (paired with an i5 maybe :'D)
[even with all at minimum/turned off, don't care about graphic]
Thanks!

Yeah watching all the streams it really doesnt look like a WW2 game besides the Weapons...
Should have called it Bad Company WW2 or something...
How so?
I can see meme level customization ("lol, we have claw prosthetic that somehow functions like real arm") becoming issue, but this game is a lot more authentic WW2 than BF1 is WW1. At least weapons available in this alpha were actually widely used during the war. Sure we have meme tank like Strumtiger that never really served any purpose and had like 5 of them ever manufactured, but as is this alpha has more WW2 authenticity than BF1 has to WW1.
Don't care about authenticity. I'm gonna rock my prosthetic arm nazi girl.
But first...new GPU! :p

Yea I was really happy to hear about it.
My friends and I sort of got tired of BF1 and started playing RB6 and we sort of wished ubisoft would make a BF style game with the gunplay of RB6.
Oh I don't expect DICE to care about WW2 era at the slightest, especially towards later content releases. I expect to see AK's, M60 Pattons etc. just because why not?
But based on what we have seen for now they are more era loyal than with BF1.
What is a World War II game supposed to look like?
What that even means?
In BFV weapons have authentic models and audio, also alpha doesn't have any weapons or attachments that weren't in production during war.
In BFV vehicles have authentic models and audio.
In BFV soldier uniforms and gear are era authentic, if we ignore clowcar combinations.
In BFV assets on maps are WW2 era authentic from civilian to military assets.
So... how this doesn't look like WW2 shooter?
According to the interwebz, brown, dark green, and grey. Haven't you read a book? Rich and beautiful colours were not a thing 70+ years ago.
Used models and textures for boots, pants, coats, masks, even prosthetics are era authentic and accurate. They are actual uniforms, camos etc. used in that era and during war. "Clowncar combinations" is reference to somehow prosthetic nonfunctional arms are fine for front line soldiers as customization options or assault soldier running around wearing headgear that were for plane pilots.
While assets in themselves are era authentic how they are used in the game is laughable, to me.
Absolutely no. I don't like BF1, but didn't have that kind of problem for me. On this game, the filters they used, colour palette, level design, architecture etc. and especially... The soldier designs have nothing to do with WW2. Of course I'll take the game no matter what, I like that new gameplay mechanics. I'm just telling what's wrong with the game. And it certainly doesn't gives WW2 feel.

What makes that "more WW2"? Muted colors, a lot use of grayscale, "MURICA!" and France?
I'm just trying to nail down what about BFV is so... "not WW2"(?) for you.
Oh I get it. It doesn't look like Saving Private Ryan. Because the map where the beta is located at would look nothing like. World War II was a massive conflict that span different environments.Absolutely no. I don't like BF1, but didn't have that kind of problem for me.

WWII games are supposed to look like the desaturated colour palette making up ruins of Berlin and Stalingrad with a dash of Africa that media has conditioned us to. Don't forget the Americans in Normandy. Ooorah.
In this case... It's like Bad Company 3 or V instead of WW2 game for me.
Thats only because your mental image of a WW2 game are the generic gritty locations usually displayed on a few popular movies, where the battle has been raging for months and years.
The map that has been shown of this game thus far takes place either the night of the landing or the following day. Its going to look colorful and normal, not a wasteland.
Any controller support for the pc version? Works well if so?
Also what medic weapons are available in this version?

I don't care Spielberg and I'm not just saying color palette. Brothers in Arms was a colorful game, but look what it looks like. You can easily tell this is a damn WW2 game.

Have people in this thread been complaining about the palette? It's funny because Battlefield 1943 was very vibrant and nobody ever complained about that.
The best squad screens are ridiculous though, the soldiers look ridiculous in terms of how they're turned out in most of them. It makes me wonder why they even wanted to go with the WW2 setting? Perhaps the team decided that, but then EA forced the cosmetic customisation upon them in the hopes of chasing those microtransaction dollars.

I can easily do the same for BFV as well, it's immediately apparent.I don't care Spielberg and I'm not just saying color palette. Brothers in Arms was a colorful game, but look what it looks like. You can easily tell this is a damn WW2 game.

take screenshots of the parts that don't look ww2
I'm hoping the medic class will also get the Thompson and the Garand. Having the mp40 will bring me back to my Enemy Territory days.
Speaking of, Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is one of the greatest if not the greatest WWII shooters and it did not have the super authentic super realistic art style. What it did have was fun as fuck gameplay, which is all that matters.
