Sure and for context, I've played hundreds of hours of BF2, BC2, 1943, and BF4. Didn't care for BF3 and BF1.
I like bullet points since it gets straight to the point. Though I will warn some that some of these are old-school complaints but I still find them credible.
Disclaimer: The game looks insanely amazing! Absolutely no complaints there.
- The destruction still isn't at the level it should be. Yes, it's detailed but let us flatten out a map again like in BC2. The primary response from DICE on this is that it "breaks the map". It's Battlefield, not Quake or CS. That super-high level of competition isn't in the series. Embrace that. The flattening of a map in BC2 made each match feel like our battle and we saw the progression of it first-hand. That alone is more immersive than anything a VFX team can do.
- Bring back avatars in death screens and post-game stats. I play on Origin so I'm not sure how it is on XBL and PSN but I feel like this made the game more fun. It gave squads opportunities to make an entertaining post-game screen with nothing but power rangers and stuff like that. The same goes for seeing your opponent's avatars in death screens. Because avatars are unique, I remembered my killers more and it created rivalries inside each game. Things like that make a game feel more like a community and that keeps people around. I know that sounds petty but I do find those small community enhancements to be very beneficial for player retention.
- Animations need to be snappier. The weapon changing, the weapon coming back up after running, the weapon moving around when crouching, even throwing a grenade. The animations feel sluggish and it honestly gives me a little bit of motion sickness (not actually sick, but uneasy) and if it was quicker (or snappier if that makes sense), the gameplay would flow better.
Pros
- The TTK feels great.
- The weapons overall feel great to shoot.
- The maps are interesting to play on.
That's my hot take. I've put a lot more thought into this series but I'm sure you don't want to read a novel lol.
