First of all, the map they gave us is ****. If you could export that map to Call of Duty it would play exactly the same. Other than a few trees there was not a single piece of destructible environment. The first and last third of the map should have had a lot more to destroy. The second part of the map doesn't even belong in a Battlefield game.
There were also no vehicles, but I guess the beta is glitchy and laggy enough as it is.
Finally they got rid of the balance that made BFBC 2 so great. In BFBC 2 you had to get a head shot to one-shot kill someone as a sniper. Not anymore. Now sniping is just as easy and overpowered as it is in every other FPS.
In short, it is quite obvious they are going to ruin Battlefield by making it as generic as every other FPS so that they can compete with Call of Duty. Also why are people renting it for the campaign? Other than the pretty graphics it's going to be completely worthless just like every other FPS that is focused on multiplayer.
