After playing a bit more last night I can safely say that I'll end up getting this game. I love the vertical nature of this map. It seems like I am constantly discovering new elevators and being fired on from different buildings.
Some cool things:
The first time I spawned into the central tower it immediately canted to the side as the building began to collapse. It gave me a very similar BC2 adrenalin rush as I raced to get out of the building.
Another time I had just swam ashore to the steps leading to the central tower when I heard this thunderous boom and debris fell off the tower in front of me. I tried to outrun the building collapse but was very unsuccessful.
Being able to jump off the central tower and parachute to pretty much any point in the map is a handy way to snag a control point.
The new spawn system is far better than BF3. You can spawn in any vehicle instead of having to fight for them. You can also spawn on any of your squadmates now instead of just the squad leader.
Things I am not sure I like:
Ammo for tanks? I think you get 4 rounds and after you've fired them you have to wait for them to slowly recharge. Not a fan.
Ammo packs don't restock explosives? I know this is the case with the M320 but I am not sure if it also doesn't restock RPGs, JAVs etc. I get why they'd do this and it's probably for the better. No more hallways of death with people just spamming M320s, RPGs and nades. I can see vehicles being more of a problem though if AT/AA rockets can't be restocked.
The grind. It's brutal. I hope the way it's currently implemented is simply for beta because it's going to take forever to level. I went 24-4 in one game, top of the team, and that didn't even give me half a level (I was level 0 for the record).
