it's new, it's got bugs, it's not perfect, but it's going the better direction, imo.
The simpler weaponry for one, is exactly what I'd hoped for, no more auto-locking weapons, laser gadgets, flying robots, etc.
Also, no more 30 scopes per gun, it just got ridiculous in BF4.
I made a comparison to Medal of Honor on PC, which BF1 reminds me of.
The map environments, the soldier outfits, the simple weapons, and the lack of too many unlocks.
These guys are hashing it out, over whether the game got "dumbed down", for lack of excessive weapons, and attachments, or whether the game returned some of what it used to be... concentrate on in game objectives and squad play instead of unlocking the 24th attachment for your 8th pistol.
