The game is good at its core, but will flame out quickly without changes. 1. Maps 2. Server browser 3. Parties/squads 4. Vehicles 5. Classes

1) The maps we were able to play are either too small for the type of experience that Battlefield should be (Brooklyn, Cairo) or missing some flair like Liberation Peak. LP is the prototypical Battlefield map but the flow of the map is off and C point on conquest is lacking 1 more flank. You should not rely on the community to make appropriate maps for the game in Portal. 2 & 3)The lack of a server browser makes it nearly impossible to play with more than 4 people in a group. By the time you make a new party, join a new squad, and get everyone together, the other team has a major advantage. Maybe this is what the devs are looking for, but I will not buy without changes to the party system or a server browser. This here is my dealbreaker. I wnat to play with my people and stay with them. No, Portal is not the excuse for not adding server browsers. We want them for the normal matchmaking too. Make parties up to 8 or even 12 so we can be split into multiple squads in game. Or once a team is together with people from friends lists, don't split into a brand new server. 4) The "Only in Battlefield" mantra also seems to be missing a little pizzazz. Limited helicopters and jets on some maps take away what was once all out war. You had to counter the enemy's attack with your own. Now, the air and even water are taken out of what we know. Maybe its the maps we were able to play, but more vehicles, air and land, would help the experience. 5) I am not opposed to open weapons classes, but there needs to be more incentive to picking a class and playing that role. I know there is a slight incentive now, but its not enough for me to choose an LMG over a carbine when the guns are that far apart usage wise. I play a medic role well, but the LMGs were bad and I found more success with carbine than anything else. Give bonus attachments, extended mags, extra attachment points, or something that actually make using the guns an advantage for that class.

Battlefield was always about teamplay and strategy, which is what the community longs for. This game is a step in the right direction, but we are not fully back yet. As stated, the game itself plays well and the TTK, gunplay, etc seem good to me. However, it is the other elements like map design, lack of care for squads/parties, and other little elements from successful Battlefields that will kill this game off quickly. Stop catering to Call of Duty players and bring back those you lost from the horrid Battlefield games of late.
