i've been playing since battlefield 2. i played BF2, 2142, 3, 4 and now this.
I gave up quickly with 3 and 4. felt far too fast paced for my liking. much preferred the feel previous games had where it wasn't so crazy all the time. I feel BF1 is still too hectic, but i do enjoy it a lot when it goes right with a good team. i'd say it's second for me. 2142 was my favourite. the titan assaults were fun and unique, and the overall feel to that game was right. BF1 does have great sounds, graphics etc, let down now by a few things, but vehicles in particular are not used in the same way as before. they can either completely useless in a match, or way OP.
