I have put 100's upon 100's of hours into BF3, but playing BF4 feels like shit. Instead of taking BF3 and beefing up the graphics a bit and adding mechanics, it's like a whole different feel to the engine. I don't know how to explain it other than it's like going from CS to CoD in regards to movement, speed, aiming, etc. Also it's buggy and sloppy as fuck. I understand it's beta, and maybe I'm spoiled but BF3 has always been pretty much solid and bug free, but this feels like an alpha game. The graphics look worse than BF3, the map just seems barren, lifeless, and unimmersive. And there is things like no recoil on guns, buggy as hell jumping etc, broken glass looks like shit and low res textures everywhere mixed with highres ones, and I could go on and on.
This was a day 1 purchase of 2 copies for me before, but now I am very worried. This shit is 3 weeks out, and unless this is a build from like 2 months ago, it is going to be unpolished as hell. I'm gonna give it some more playtime over the next few weeks and see if maybe it will click for me, but at this point it just feels like a massive downgrade from BF3 in most ways, with some "levolution" of 1 single destructible building.
