Yea, it is a BETA. EA is mainly testing their servers moreso than the game itself. Plus it’s only 1 map, with vehicles disabled. The BETA is much more of a COD playstyle than a standard battlefield game would be/this game will be. Shady and I got to play a couple rounds on Caspian Border with vehicles (Jets, Helicopters, Cars, Tanks, AA guns, etc.) and it is a totally different feel. Personally that’s what I play the bf series for.
Also the squad system is all jacked up in the BETA, so it makes playing with friends/flanking harder.
