OK, let's get the obvious caveat out of the way first: it looks like Roblox, and the audio isn't great.
This game, made by 3 people in Unity, is the best Battlefield game I've played since BF2142. It's fucking great. It's £12.79 in Early Access and has 39 guns and 17 maps straight out of the gate. It plays absolutely beautifully:
- Gunplay is super responsive and satisfying with really good feeling hit registration - Maps are fully destructible for the most part, beyond the level of destruction in the Bad Company games despite being significantly more dense and complex. - The biggest matches are 147 vs 147! - The maps aren't giant chokepoint spam fests
It's full of smart design decisions and cool features too. Getting shot can cause you to start bleeding; you have to bandage yourself or can bandage others to stop the bleeding. It's a bit controversial but it ensures that people have downtime in gunfights so things don't get too insane. Plus, *anyone* can revive other players; medics just do it faster and are the only ones who can recover people's health. What's more you can even drag downed bodies and move them into cover to revive them.
It's just ridiculously good fun and is pulling in big player counts on steam at the moment.

Second all that. Lots of fun like battlefield of old but square and blocky. Although i discovered my 42 year old hands can’t do M&K anymore so will be pinning hopes on a console release.

Wait, I bet you can play PC with a controller can’t you!

No plans on buying or playing this game ATM (have my hands full with Diablo IV and Final Fantasy XVI) but I am enjoying the gameplay videos popping up on my Youtube feed.

I bet the EA/Dice lawyers come after this.

Eh, only if they think the name infringes somehow.
Gameplay wise technically speaking it's a little closer to SQUAD, but then SQUAD was a follow up on a Battlefield 2 mod so it's not like there's a problem there.

My first experience was spawning in a helicopter, someone blasting fortunate son and people singing along. Made me fall in love straight away and the whole thing took me right back to BF2

Don't typically snipe much in these games but if Wakistan comes up I swap over rather than get caught in the meat grinder. It's cool. Liking how the midrange scopes don't have glint, and it's satisfying getting the zeroing just right so you can click on heads.
