I was playing last night and having tons of fun. Was a chopper gunner for a bit in a wild, big battle. Next I was a tank gunner and engineer to repair. Was having a blast until we got rushed by a C5 (not sure I'll ever get used to 5) squad rush us, then it was a prolonged infantry battle. Trying to capture objectives on top of the roof is a blast.
I'm genuinely confused by all the saltiness around this game. It needs a balance patch for sure so hopefully we don't have to wait long for that. I'm still having a blast playing the main game. I haven't even tried Portal yet (I know once I do I'll be in there for hours).
I can understand the saltiness, it's still a bit of a mess, but getting there, I also know gamers have a history of being a little dramatic, with BF you'll never completely please everyone, even if they do a BC2 remaster or BC3 there'll always be something.
Actually getting used to the specialists, I still prefer old class based, but there's a lot of customization to be had.
