Just played a quick 15 minutes. I have to say I enjoyed it. Just like previous versions of BF I seem to be dying a lot. Do they write the code just so that happens. Its almost impossible to ride a horse and shoot at the same time.
It looked nice, the dust and sand effects adding greatly to the game, the explosions looked good as well. The weapons do have a 'clanky' old feel about them. Flying the biplanes is 'different', no heat seeking missiles, no ground to air missiles just bullets and shells.
If there was one annoying element its the names of the capture points no alpha or foxtrot but apples and freddy, and a womans voice. Everytime we lost 'freddy' I felt like looking for a small child.
I haven't had a chance to check video settings but it looked ok.
Pen you will like this game.

Next impression - EA servers down,
Next impressions - armour still seems to have a great advantage. Played a round of rush in which an armoured truck wiped the floor with everything. Its probably a beta glitch but there seemed to be a lot of invisible opposition.

well I managed to get it downloaded, and while having a lazy day at the villa got to play a game or seven
wow this game is very good, its quite familiar in the way the game plays but as mary says everything feels more clunky, in a good way the guns and weapons are basic but effective
the vehicles are fearsome and they do a lot of damage quickly, the planes are fun nice and slow dog fighting was a laugh to say the least
riding a horse is cool too bit like a quad bike in BF4
The maps and sounscape look and sound great very atmospheric
I do think that Pen would like this game as well, its very old school remined me of Moh a bit. it remains to be seen whether the hit registration is good, I did seem to be dead a lot but I killed a few too, went up to rank 5 or something quite quickly it helps when you know the maps of course
only 2 maps it appears and some of the features are greyed outin the menus
the whoosy cinematic feel is great when you die and spawn, the graphics do look nice even on my lappy in the bright spanish sunlight
so all in all 8 and a half out of ten for me at this point
get it played if you can

I was trying to play it as a WWI game. And bizarrely i think thats the wrong way. The weapons need to have more bolt action feel to them. Overall i thought it was good with some good new features like the horses and multi position planes

Well I have played for about 3 hours tonight and WOW that is gonna be a cool game I am sure we are gonna like this at least for a while
small servers will be best IMO
weapons feel great and old, the graphics in 4K look awesome, the leafy jungle is SO real looking incredible!
the gameplay seems to be very solid and the hit registration in my eyes was spot on, you do have to have eyes in your arris! though
and I managed to unlock the FLIR which was a bonus
managed to rank up to nearly 7 which was also nice!
the 'whooshy' effect when you respawn might become a bit tedious, I feel a case of motion sickness coming on
The new maps are out in march 2017 so plenty of time to learn these.
Only thing you can't seem to do is customize your soldier yet, and defo no clan emblems as yet - booo
all in all a quite enjoyable romp
8 and a bit out of ten at this point.

It does look gorgeous. The forest and the cliff side being the best so far
