After having played quite a bit this afternoon I think I'm ready for some first impressions. Like the dude in the linked video says this feels like BF, movement, guns, sounds etc. The current beta map is huge, lots of running to reach the Conquest targets if you're not lucky enough to get a ride. And avid chopper pilots have a field day. In a way it resembles very much some BF4 map, but I don't remember the name of it lol. What I'm really looking forward to is Breakthrough mode and the classic, a bit smaller maps. Will this mode be later in beta, I sure hope so! I guess the classic maps won't be on the list.

Specialists was a minor disappointment; one can arm them quite freely despite their given default settings.

Nothing to complain, though it does give a strong déjà-vu to BF4 beta. And in a real squad with TS it probably feels a lot better. At the moment there's no squad play, gamers just rush here and there towards objectives - and it's very undestandable.

As a Beta its not that bad movement is really good but you can see people jumping around

But if you are in a tank as the gunner it just shakes around, the lifts in the rocket point dont work correctly

lastly i personally hope there are maps with less jets and choppers

btw, there was a way to invite friends to join, but that window was open for less than 10 seconds and I wasn't fast enough to invite any of the togas who were present. Seems that this feature has been available randomly, I didn't see it again though I was looking for it.

The new, huge maps probably have loads of jets and choppers for pete's enjoyment :lol: I could do with whole lot less also...

I played a few rounds yesterday in a TOGA squad. And it makes me really looking forward to the full game.
There are some issues in the game. Mostly because it is a beta, and the build is a few months old so I've heard. And some things I would like to see different, but no game is perfect ;-).

Overall I enjoyed the few rounds I played.

Movement is good, like call of duty style, i like it. Idea to change your weapon gadgets in the middle of the game is interesting and i like it too. Vehicle controls, especially flying ones need to be redone, those are horrible at the moment. Some polishing also needed at sounds and graphics too. I have about 40 - 60 fps in this beta and i run 1070 with settings high

LOLs, the mystery window to invite friends was behind the "social" button, which didn't work when I tried it for the very first time, then actively forgetting its existence :lol: Must have been bugged creating this flash view once.

None of those issues here either. But enough long distance running in Conquest, waiting for the actual game and other modes!
