It gets a super heavy recommendation from me. The game is absolutely excellent. It's everything the Battlefield community has wanted from Battlefield for what feels like a decade now.

Do not let the graphics fool you. The game has solid performance, great gunplay, great progression akin to BF4, the class system feels excellent, they can do very large scale due to not having excessive graphics performance will be fully and solid, destruction is also fantastic its just got it all.

As someone who's felt let down by Battlefield for a while now and put thousands of hours into it back in the day, this scratches that itch like you wouldn't believe.

It's pretty fun but also very hard, maybe too hard for me. De gameplay is battlefield like with call of duty pacing to me. Theres quite a lot of maps with good variety. Some maps are more sandboxy and open. Others more urban like or with more choke points. At the end of the game you can vote for the next map, but usually the same ones get voted over and over. The gunplay is good and has depth.

I will keep playing it, but mix it up with Deep Rock Galactic for some more relaxed sessions

I'm 100% broke but I want it pretty bad. That's my thoughts.

Highly recommended! It's so much fun and definitely scratches that BF3 itch. I've heard it described as BF3 and Squad have a baby and it plays Roblox.

Fun game the only complain I would have is the progression system for gun unlocks sort of suck and is quite grindy. I'm personally a big fan of the unlock system for gun attachments since it rewards good play with the guns you use.

It was fun until I was forced to refund it due to the devs announcing they were going to move from EAC to FACEIT, locking Deck/Linux users like me out. Asshole bait-and-switch move if you ask me - I'm glad I had just under two hours of playtime.

As a Deck owner, I feel this. But at the same time, it's a 3 person dev team, and rampant cheating driving away their audience is the fastest way for their product to get destroyed.

Yeah, but FACEIT doesn't work either. None of these anti-cheat products do - they usually stop casual attempts at cheating, but in the face of any dedicated attacker (including subscription cheats and hardware mods) they're pure security theater.

The only exception I can think of would be Vanguard, which only works because it's an aggressively maintained bespoke solution (and a complete security nightmare) - but even then, it's still defeated by hardware mods.
