The part I liked early on was vehicles were mostly transport, but now they're getting into the weaponized stage. Tanks are absolute terrors. I watched Shroud in his Apache he unlocked just bully the entire server until they dedicated two towers to AA guns.
Time to kill is getting pretty instant too, even at 100m+ with full auto guns. Not a huge fan of that when half the people are laying in bushes so you can't see them without recon tools to begin with. I unlocked the Mosin today and sat in one of the 5 story apartments and went 18 and 0 before they landed seal team six on my roof and I didn't have a glock to stop them. The starter sniper is so awful it makes sniping seem reasonable, but as soon as you get the Mosin it's instant death again. Maybe 2-3 armors and 3 helmets stop it, but it was just a center mass player destroyer.
I think when people get money and levels there will be more diversity and people will counter vehicles and vehicles will counter giga FOB's and etc etc etc, but right now I and most people I see run around with between 30-100k cash at like lvl 20ish, but then I see the big dogs and they're running around with 1.5million and running 20k kits.
At the high end everyone will probably have enough money to run whatever they want with 200 extra ammo and 4 grenades and 4 mags and an RPG etc etc etc. That's when the game will show itself for what its worth. Right now it's dudes with 2x scope SKS's versus M4 T3 Armor chad's and it's just not comparable. I mean unlocking the Apache was 500k itself, I'm not sure at level 22 or whatever I am I've even earned much more than that lifetime.
I do think the engineering/supply run stuff is interesting, but I've done nothing with it particularly. I do like the idea of FOB's to get a foothold and push points and respawn via APC's, but right now everyone is just kinda goofing and undiscipline so half the time the FOB's have nothing useful and the APC is parked in fucking noweheresville.
I do like it. It feels better than BF6 did for a "battle" type game I think because BF6 just had an awful mess of vehicle crutches and slide jumping COD bullshit. The non constant slide jump action canceling bullshit in this feels good. You can run, crouch, and prone. If you go prone in a fight you're fucking dead. No dolphin diving. You actually see people on angles you expect to see them to peak from rather than having some dude fucking Matrix slide 10 feet past the peak you're staring at and show up on another wall and blast you. I get enough of that dogshit in Apex right now.
I'd guess a good chunk of people refund this because it's VERY VERY squad reliant and not only are most people playing solo, but it doesn't auto squad you for some reason. The difference communicating and moving together versus lone wolf shit is night and day. Unless you're mega off-angle recon or something going alone is just eventual suicide. Rezzing is almost too regular in this game.
