I was excited for this, until they announced it's just going to be another Warzone. Why can't they keep it simple? Drop in, loot, survive, kill, win. None of this loadout nonsense. Knowing EA they'll find some way to make it pay-to-win with "exclusive guns in this weeks Battlepack".

I'm getting this basically due to a few of my buddies peer pressuring me to get it this time, so I guess I'll see how it goes.

Couple other things I don't particularly like.

1. The zone is instant death. This is going to make maps extremely small no matter how big they are. People won't be able to spread out as much for fear of getting unluckily caught by the zone. While this will increase game pacing, it's going to remove a layer of tacticallity.

2. Four squads of 25 players. WTF is this? It's squad deathmatch with missions and a zone. That's not a battle royal. I want to play solo. Not with 24 other people that want to also play solo, resulting in no one working together, 80% of people with no mic and never winning.

so the game is not for you, plenty of others you can play in it's stead.

I mean just because it can support 100 players at pmce.doesnt mean it will be doing that on e very map... right?

Honestly, I wasn't sure about that either and wondering the same.

There could be smaller maps for lower player counts. Nothing is mentioned about that though. I think only PUBG does that now.

I'm hoping this 25 man squad deal is a specific game mode, and solo's are a thing.
