Good graphics, fun vehicles and sci-fi setting but seems to have all the bugs of its predecessor and more.
Vehicles themselves are fun to fight in, but have greater weakness to soldier fire than before. For instance an engineer can destroy a tank with one shot to the rear. The vehicles look different for each team but do the exact same things. one exception are the tanks. Each side gets a tank, EU gets a hovering tank that floats above the ground and travels quickly. PAC gets a normal, modern looking tank that rolls on treads, YES TREADS. For some reason the game developers thought there would still be tank treads in the year 2142. If you didn't know, treads are garbage against hover tech.
Titans are new floating fortresses that can deploy forces via aircraft or drop pods which launch you out of the titan and you control until you crash land. They are also equipped with 4 massive turrets on its underside and two AA turrets on the top.
good stuff
Here are some of the bugs you will encounter.
-----------
For some reason after playing titan maps for a while you will be unable to spawn on your own titan. You will only be able to spawn on the ground or in vehicles. This is particularly frustrating when you must be on your titan to defend it from enemy infiltrators in your reactor room.
-----------
Soldier shoulder mounted AA weapon's projectiles will sometimes fail to follow a target after you get the lock on signal and fire. Before a patch the weapon would fail to lock on completely in some cases even if the enemy aircraft was right in front of you.
-----------
You can get stuck on or in small obstacles and geometry.
-----------
Some weapons fail to register a hit when they clearly land on a target. Tanks are notorious for this, as you will see your tank shot explode on your foe and no damage is inflicted. Knife attacks are the same, as you can slice an enemy and get the sound effect of a landed attack but no kill.
-----------
After playing on one server for a long while you may get stuck in a squad and never be able to leave it unless you log off, making you lose your field upgrades.
-----------
Those are the most obvious and frustrating of the bugs I have experienced as well as my comrades on buddy list have mentioned.
All the old problems with battlefield are here as well. Vehicles and soldiers cant move up a small hill. Soldiers still get tired from running of what seems like 30 ft of distance. Suicide tactics are still more effective than playing right.
You can be killed the instant you spawn (some folks like this? 1/2 second would be nice). People are still getting on the roof of tall buildings where they become invincible(Strike at Karkand anyone?). Theres more but if you want to deal with them go buy Battlefield 2142.
In the end, after playing for hours it just feels like a beta game with good graphics. The old bugs and glitches were never fixed, but more material was produced :-\
