According to a community manager, it's a build "a few months old" for whatever thats worth.. because the leak videos seemed to have played better than the beta but thats also not including network which desync seems to be one of the major glaring issues.

I played for a few more hours last night, while it is fun it's just not battlefield. This game is basically CoD/Apex reskinned and not worth 60 bucks, the super twitchy gameplay puts my old ass at a big disadvantage. I'll wait for half off or major changes, but I don't see them not releasing this before Christmas.
I've never seen a multiplayer team game try so hard to remove team work.

Brahma is like 60 and maintains a 3 k/d in almost every game he plays.
I was holding my own last night, but there were some insane players, last game I as 35/10.
Getting caught out in the open with no cover was my downfall most of the time. The Vector shreds.

You do realize that you just compared two things that have basically nothing in common, right? Apex has an extremely long TTK, probably the longest of any FPS ever.

Yes, but the movement feels exactly like apex. Sliding around non stop, no slow down with directional changes, grappling hooks, etc.

Maybe its just me but the one thing I always hated about BF games with huge maps is it takes fucking forever to get to objective or find an enemy to kill.
So boring running around. If you arent using a vehicle the game kind of sucks.

I never had a problem before this iteration. Usually there are vehicles littering the map, not so much this time and the maps are much larger.

Calling in vehicles was buggy and for a map that size it didn't seem like you could really have enough of them, only 2 tanks, 2 anti air, and 6 transports not counting air. It would be nice if holding some of the points opened up extra options or spawned vehicles, maybe it won't be so bad once the call in bug is fixed.
While I don't think it felt like BF I still did enjoy myself once I stopped thinking about it like the past games. Heck it took me a while to enjoy the Bad Company games at first. I still think the specialists are awful but one of the devs mentioned buffing the medic chick already, I think they should give her a self revive if they don't want to add the ranged revive back in. Boris' little sentry needs to either acquire targets faster or from a longer range, as for Casper's drone just make it like the MAV or TUGs and auto spot in an area. I think they could compete with the mobility of McKay then.
One of the devs also mentioned something about adding different colored lights on the characters to help differentiate the enemy faction which sounds lazy but I'll take any help my old man eyes can get.

I had a blast with the beta. I just ran around doing dumb shit and killing people.. didn't take it too seriously. iirc battlefield 3 and 4 were also shit show betas. I vaguely remember 1 being a bit shitty too and wasn't around for bfv.
I'm sure there is going to be plenty of adjustments favored or unfavored; bfv went through 3 or 4 major changes iirc? gungame felt pretty good out of the beta for 2042. It is just fun killing in battlefield when they give you creative ways to do so. I did a lot of c4 shit, drove the jeep, and flew the heli's. Stuck c4 on to a mav and drove it into people and tanks. Jihad jeepin. I jumped out of heli's throwing c4 on top people and vehicles. I tried to do shotgun+telsa truck, roll up on people and jump out. I do recall that Respawn and Dice pretty much talk regularly, so i'm not entirely surprised that its pulling elements from a "successful" franchise. There is also World War 3, basically another Battlefield clone with dev problems but seems to play more "battlefield" that people want to remember.
edit; WW3 announced their Closed Beta, and will be f2p around March of next year?
