Looking to get my Battlefield fix in and I’ve heard good things. Anyone playing and can give their thoughts?

It gets a super heavy recommendation from me. The game is absolutely excellent. It’s everything the Battlefield community has wanted from Battlefield for what feels like a decade now.

Do not let the graphics fool you. The game has solid performance, great gunplay, great progression akin to BF4, the class system feels excellent, they can do very large scale due to not having excessive graphics performance will be fully and solid, destruction is also fantastic its just got it all.

As someone who’s felt let down by Battlefield for a while now and put thousands of hours into it back in the day, this scratches that itch like you wouldn’t believe.

You’ve convinced me.

I’m going to give this game a try tonight.

It’s for sure worth it, I’d recommend you start on 32 v 32 or 64v64 just to not get overwhelmed by the chaos of 124v124 out the gate lol

I’d say to jump right into the 124v124. At that level, one player is not going to change the tide too much. (Its more akin to the battles in Planetside 2 than your standard Battlefield due to the sheer scope.)

I’ll echo everyone else and 100% recommend it.

One thing no one mentioned though is the community. Admins have a zero tolerance policy for racism, homophobia, etc, which leads to voice comms being fun again. So many people roleplaying and just being silly. It’s one of the few games that’s greatly enhanced by proximity chat

Highly recommended! It’s so much fun and definitely scratches that BF3 itch. I’ve heard it described as BF3 and Squad have a baby and it plays Roblox.

I really enjoy it for what it is, but I feel like they need to refine the overall experience.

People can jump through windows and spray you, yet the ttk is super low, slow reloads and gunplay is a mixed bag when it comes to mechanics (single fire over auto, bipods don’t help at al).

I’ll give it a massive benefit of the doubt due to pricing and oh, yeah…it’s made with love by three people.

The party system is amazing and allows my friends and I to be dragged into a game in mere seconds. Worth it alone for that tbh.

That was made by 3 people? That’s insane.

The game is pretty great. I’ve been having so much fun just being a medic in it. Dodging all enemy fire to go heal people is insane when there are so many people.

One game I kept hearing a guy play Free Bird and loudly sing it. Whenever I got close enough for proximity chat I would start hearing him again. Weaving through fire and the gunshots while hearing that every now and then was amazing.

Here is 40 seconds I recorded showing what it is like to be inside a firefight.
