This is an objectively bad video game. I have been playing FPS games for decades, and I can say this one is just bad. The outrageous load times tell you enough. It takes way too long to do anything in this game. Even returning to the menu screen at the end of a match takes forever. That’s bad enough, but it only gets worse from there. They do almost nothing to prepare new players for the way their game works. I played some Battlefield back in the day, so I have an idea of how they work. Good luck to anybody that’s new to the franchise though. I finally found a bunch of videos in one of their menus, but guess what? They don’t even load! Very telling for this game.
The gameplay is chaotic, and not in a good way. Everything just feels random. Firestorm, which looked really cool, was never supported by them, so it’s a ghost town and a waste of time. Everything about this game just feels off. It feels janky everywhere from the menus to the gameplay. Speaking of menus, they are slow and laggy as heck. Frustrating to say the least.
Playing conquest, which they bill as the true Battlefield experience, consists of running for three minutes just to get killed by a tank that is camping out a capture point, over and over. Boring, not fun. Unless you like running simulators of course. I have given this game two days now and I can’t see any reason to continue. Disappointing to say the least. I had fun on older Battlefields. Can’t say I’ll be returning.
I forgot to mention how broken matchmaking is. Just got into a match that was like 24 vs 6 or so. That’s awesome! Guess what? Everybody quit out. Unbelievable.
Even if the player counts are equal, the matches almost never are. Win or lose, it’s one team just crushing the other team almost every time. I’m talking you have 300-500 spawns left when you win. Ridiculous. I’ve had one close match in two days of playing.
