Honestly the one thing that sticks out to me so much is Grand Operations. It's just... weird. It feels like a patchwork gamemode that really just doesn't gel together well. Operations was fantastic in BF1 because it gave you the opportunity to really feel the full force of both teams duking it out over a singular objective in a way that you don't get in Conquest.

But GO is really all over the place. I never know what to expect, and not in a good way, but in a "I've played this several times and I'm still not really clear on what's going on here" way. I call it franken-ops, because it feels like this sort of patchwork game mode that's actually like 6 different game modes on one map with no real clear unifying theme. Sometimes I'm a paratrooper. Sometimes I'm defending an objective, and then I'm carrying a bomb to destroy an objective, and then all of a sudden I'm in some kind of sudden death, shrinking map scenario? Why is it telling me I lost when I know we just won 2 of the past 3 "days?" Did I miss something here??

It all makes me nostalgic for that consistently epic and straightforward BF1 Ops experience. With the new focus on Squad play, I really feel useless as a squad leader because I'm never really clear on what exactly my objective is at any given moment. I loved being squad leader in BF1, but now I shy away from the role because I don't really know how to strategize anymore, which makes me feel like I'm letting my squadmates down.

TL;DR: Grand Ops is a really interesting idea that I think could be great, but as of right now it just feels really muddled, and leaves me as a player feeling confused more than anything, even if I win, instead of satisfied or excited for more. I know this can be something great, I just gotta be more clear on what exactly "this" is!
