Agree with the OP. Have been playing the series since the original GR and loved the tactical style. Playing the beta, it feels a bit of a FC5/ACOD mis-mash to me. The tiered loot in each crate makes you a little obsessive in constantly updating. Each time I open a crate, it's a visit to the gear menu to update the glove to get me a little of this, or the boots to give me a little more of that, etc. It just doesn't have the immersive feel of previous GR titles because of constantly having to mind your level/stats.
For a looter shooter it does the job adequately I guess (multitude of bugs and problems aside) - but this is not Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. It's a great shame this fantastic franchise has lowered itself to this.
