Yup, all dumbed down in games now. The tech evolves but the gameplay gets lobotomised. Used to love using a submarine and attacking destroyers that were hammering capture zones with their artillery. Can't have that these days, static carrier and some crap little gunboats and that's your lot.

Was playing it today starting to get used to it
Then maybe BF isn't for you? It's a battlefield in essence, it's a blend of everything in on.
Oh I don't meen meat grinder
But prefer the urban environments and not the big open killing fields
And played every bf game thank you very much apart from bf4
Including code name Eagle
And hopefully not invulnerable airforce and tanks camping mountains

Bring back Battlefield Vietnam... The soundtrack alone was worth the price I paid for the game....
I see, personally I love big open battles, oddly I hate Battle royal style games. I think it's because I play very diverse, and have done in all BF's, never played Eagle but Squad is up there too. For me, I like to see what is killing us on the battlefield and change to counter it. If it's an even fight, sniping is where my heart lies, or medic. I'm very bad at flying, but consider my self ok with land vehicles.
It was about that, for years its been vehicle stomp & last decent battlefield was 3.
This, there was nothing better than jumping in a chopper with mates then putting the in game radio on
WARR.. what is it good for
I love playing in a squad and my preferred role is recon so mid to close range sniping mostly with a two times or a good flip up
Find it very frustrating that they are sticking to a four man squad one more body doesn't sound much but it massively improves the squad dynamic
Agreed on the squad count, 5 is the ideal amount. Specially on a 128 player map!
Four player squads means a minimum of 16 squads on each side, assuming they have auto squad entry. Given many will want to lock their squads or lock them with only one or two people you could end up with twenty squads or more on each side. That’ll be a big list to scroll through. Sounds unwieldy.

I would like the squad size even higher tbh, at least 6.
A matter of opinion, bf3 had plenty of issues with helicopters hanging about the map boundaries spamming tv missiles and a moronic system that inexplicably had the pilot and gunner trading countermeasures making them stupidly hard to take down.
I’ve yet to see a bf game that’s a vehicle stomp, there’s plenty of counters to them via land, sea and air. People generally just seem to get pissy if they get taken out by a vehicle, some players these days seem to want battlefield to be nothing more than a cod clone and do away with vehicles altogether.

A decent squad can take vehicles out in double quick time. It's just the whiners don't want to play as a team, in which place go play COD. No disrespect to COD, but it's a different gameplay.
Not really, not any more. BF5 is just a circle jerk of the Zerg rushing around the map and the capture merry go round.
BF5 is the closest to COD gameplay that the series has ever been imo, at least as far as the infantry gameplay is concerned.

Been that for quite some time with the ring around the roses captureathon. Personally I think it should take more than 1 person to trigger a capture. Maybe 3 or 4 at least. Otherwise you just get the same routine where 1 guy who has wedged himself into a random area can contest a flag.
Yep, some of the map designs are also abysmal with huge capture areas so one person can just camp in a hole somewhere. Unless you've got a spotting flare good luck to finding them.
