I for one enjoyed it.
I saw lots of thing wrong with it but it was a 4 month old beta likely to change for the better.
On the led up to the beta I played a lot of BFV thinking the game would be most like it but I was wrong. It was a healthy dose of BF4 IMHO and I think I'm going to enjoy this game for as long as I have it.
Most importantly, for me anyway, my old PC ran it well enough to give me hope. It will be the 1st BF I didn't play at Ultra settings, day 1, but high settings on UltaWide monitor gave me 70 FPS avg. so I'm good with that for now.
I'm inspired by the new anti cheat and hope it's all they say it will be.
Not thrilled there will be no single player but I can get over that too.
In any case this beta was certainly way better than the last two.
 
So for your thoughts?
Who will be playing?
BTW include you BF persona with replies I want your Tags ;)

    Not a big fan of the half baked specialist system and other questionable decisions like 3rd person take-downs and flight mechanics, but I gotta say I had tons of fun. Gunplay felt very satisfying, the movement, although very twitchy and fast actually felt pretty good in first person. Was kind of annoying though when trying to shoot others though lol, but watching footage back at slower speed it seems like the animations were all at like 30fps and very twitchy even when people arent moving very fast so hopefully thats been figured out. Map design and flow was so much better than i expected. I was very skeptical about things like the grapple and the anti-gravity ziplines but I kind of fell in love with them. Can be pretty annoying though as you can get flanked in ways you would never expect or have dudes hiding in very sneaky places. Good thing is we can restrict that stuff in the portal mode.
     
    Flight mechanics are a huge bummer though in their current state. Satisfying to rocket barrage a bunch of helpless dudes yes, but not very satisfying to fly around. Jets are so damn slow for how big the map is. 400 kmh is ridiculous. I can look over the silly specialists and jank monetization ploys thanks to portal, but if the flight mechanics suck there too then thats a huuuge bummer.

    To me it seems like COD to be honest. I like it but not going to be an early adopter in this game.
    Certain mechanics of the game seem like crysis

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

    I really wanted to like it and tried hard to enjoy it, but it's not for me. I imagine there will be much more tweaking, but the feel of the airplanes and vehicles felt off. Jets were weirdly slow for how huge the map is, I'm not sure if it was flying at the intended speed
