How do you use the on the fly attachment feature? I know how to bring it up (LB on Xbox) but I can't move to/choose a different attachment.
As for the beta, played one game....
The TTK seems decent, not too quick but not too long either.
Gunplay seemed decent, but that was with a standard weapon with no attachments.
Map size seems fine. Once the game gets going you can use the vehicle drop feature if you need to go far.
Tornado was pretty cool.
Destruction seems very limit.
Audio is terrible.
The armour plates have to go.
Overall it seems decent. If they fix the audio and polish it up enough it could be a quality game.

So, can anyone play this with just game pass/ea play? I downloaded it last night. I'm definitely not preordering until I try it.
Hold LB then tap either y,x,a,b depending on which attachments so the buttons act pretty much like a dpad.
Managed to get about 3 games in. So far I like it. The only gripe I have is the bots are awful. I’d rather they just left them out and let the game fill up organically with players. Looks great on the Series X and I was worried about the map size being to big but I thought it was fine personally. Didn’t have any problems zipping around the map. The gun on the Jeep’s is pretty op tbh so I can see that getting nerfed, not that I mind though as it’s more realistic.
After a few more games, eh.
With crossplay on I get killed by only PC players. With it off the games are laggy.
Rockets against vehicle seem very underpowered.
The SMGs are pretty worthless.
The Medic gadget is garbage IMO.
The jini map is too small, and there is no larger map to view.
There are no icons or sound for grenades landing near you.

Played a round. Still trying to figure out some of the mechanics, but I had fun. Even in this supposed several months back beta state, it's a really nice looking game on Series X in Dolby Vision.
Hopped in an armored vehicle (I think the anti-air vehicle) and took out a truck full of 4 guys with the support gun, that was my favorite moment so far.

You can definitely kick some kiester in vehicles now. i played a full round spawning into a tank, got an obscene number of kills and vehicles without dying once. Spawned the next round directly into the armored AA vehicle. Took out choppers, jeeps, and infantry galore without dying. Don't think many people are running with anti vehicle loadouts at the moment.
I didn't play much of 5, but in BF4 a good tank driver and gunner could wreck shop. My buddies and I would whip all around the map taking points in Conquest with just a tank setup lol. Trick is to always be marking enemies.
Yeah vehicles were always strong in past modern games. You really need 2 engineers to take something down well, otherwise it is really vehicles to counter vehicles. It isn't hard but can be hard to do with randos. You can't really make it so that one engie can kill a tank alone, otherwise tanks would be useless.
The age old problem was people taking things like the AA vehicle to capture a point and just leaving it, then you are stuck with no way to counter aircraft.

I am passing on this game. I read no dedicated servers are planned at this time. Only matchmaking. No server list, nada. The UI is garbage and the sound is just as garbage. Gameplay is Warzone on a bigger scale. Visuals are very nice and that's about the only positive thing about the game---in my opinion.
I am disappointed in what was supposed to be "the biggest project ever" for EA/DICE. The best they could do is matchmaking. f*** that.

This is just the beta, I'm assuming they're specifically testing match making. All other Battlefield games have come with server lists.
It's so ugly but kind of fun I guess? Plays more like COD than BF. Super slide, low TTK, no recoil.
This game gave me the worse headache, this beta is complete junk.
I agree, the recoil is almost a joke.
Too much AI in the game too.
I'm passing and will wait until it hits EA Play next year.
The audio is just garbage. The destruction is a joke too.
Only thing so far that's giving me a headache is riding in someone's tank. I've only played one game, but man it actually gives me motion sickness. Seems really choppy and all over the place.
Also, how the f*** do you fly a helicopter on console? IIRC on BF4 you used the triggers to fly up and down, but I may be mistaken.
Double tapping requires more effort.
I am fine with it being a UT99 player.
I'm loving this. As long as they can iron out some bugs I'm happy. My hype meter is way back up. Looks great on the Xbox Series X.
The gunplay and time to kill felt just right. Slower than COD, but I never felt like I was hitting a bullet sponge. A few well aimed shots took targets down. I thought the recoil was great. If you think the recoil is like COD, you haven't played COD. You can kit out any recoil in COD now. In this game at range you had to burst, but it wasn't crazy. You should be able to take down targets easily out in the open.
The hybrid sights are amazing. Hopefully they fix the glitch on flipping those. The gun customization on the fly worked well.
My gripe is cross play with mouse and keyboard so I'll be turning that off. The controller aim assist is weak which is fine, but it is almost impossible to fight mouse players at any kind of range.
The other bad thing I hate is the bouncing while in a vehicle. This bug has been in the game for ages now and they still haven't fixed it? Trying to be a gunner on a tank is impossible. I had a target right in front of me and couldn't hit it.
This is likely to be a day 1 for me, maybe a preorder depending on what is offered. I just want to hear they cleaned up some things, but this was already an older build. This is already less buggy than most BF launches to be honest.
