Final thoughts on the beta from someone who logged 1000 hours across 3, 4, and 1 and hasn't retouched the franchise since
>tl;dr if you're trying to scratch the itch that BF3 or 4 scratched, this game is not going to do it for you, so don't waste $70 on it. But if you're in the market for a new twitch shooter that will probably be "current thing" for a good 3 months post release... it's your money, go for it.
This in no way feels like a battlefield game. Hear me out though, that doesn't mean that it's a bad game per se, but if you're trying to scratch the exact same itch that 3 or 4 scratched, it's not there. The fact that the maps they're giving us for the beta are all close quarters COD-style shoot fests is incredibly telling of what the final game will be.
The people who made 3, 4, and 1 no longer work at Dice. EA cleaned house after the flop that was 2042, and the new team crafted the entire game based on the feedback of their target demo, kids age 10-20. Of course they're going to cater to them with fast movement, tight quarters, and nonstop action. The vehicles are just there as "See? We still have vehicles! It's still Battlefield!" but if you drive a tank or pilot a heli you will very quickly see that they did not put any attention or care into them at all.
Also, if you think that they're not going to include crazy or outlandish skins in this game 3 months after launch, you're on crack. Anything that the devs or PR men say to the contrary is just to get you to buy the game.
