Yea they could have kept the way the revive was done in bf1. Last time I played the alpha the animations still seemed a bit slow to me. I don't think the new animations really add anything.

I don't think the new animations really add anything.I don't understand. Only medics could revive in BF1 but now anyone can revive, albeit much slower. Medics in BFV are still very fast, couple of seconds at most.
Medic revives are now pretty much the same as BF1, but the squad revives are slower and more dangerous so hardly anyone does it.I've generally found revives to be overpowered, at least in Planetside and Battlefield. Not looking to turn BF into ArmA but if you can revive while still taking fire, it's probably too much. Of course, then again, the fast meatgrind mindless pace they seem to want demands it. At any rate, if BF V nerfs or slows revives, I welcome it.
I dont remember in the alphas, but you had to be down in order for someone to revive you in battlefield V. When you get killed you sit there waving your hand in the air on the ground alerting your squadmates to heal you.I've generally found revives to be overpowered, at least in Planetside and Battlefield.

The slower revive and respawn is so that people can't quickly spawn kill and they also want people to play more strategically which I welcome. I just don't like the animations they added to it. While it takes much longer to respawn now, I've noticed anytime I was down, no one would heal or revive me but I always play medic and I'm constantly offering bandages and trying to heal people.This is going to be another epic game from the BF series. It's got that sense of gameplay and scope you want from a shooter. I like that it's just that bit more modern than BF1, which I loved after I thought I'd hate it.
Respawns take awhile sometimes, but maybe they are trying to pace the game a bit differently, we shall see. Gonna have to get used to the revive animation from the Medic Class, my main class. Noticed a few bugs in the game that have to be ironed out - can't alt-TAB back into the game after minimizing it. Medic class says to throw an Ammo pouch vs medic kit to friendlies, I couldn't get out of the prone position once, etc...

I also preferred the bf1 medic weapon compared to the one they gave us in the alpha. This one felt a bit more powerful but I couldn't find a way to take the scope off.
I should have said I don't mind the longer respawn but not a fan of the slower revive. I think someone mentioned the medic revive is the same as bf 1 which is fine if that's a medic healing you vs a squad member. I just really wish they had not put those animations in..which explains why most squadmates won't go to revive you.I get they seem to be trying to slow things down a bit, the maps feel bigger in scope as well. I'm ok with it. I think I'll enjoy conquest more at this pace than vs BF1. I just hope TDM is kept fast-paced.
If you don't mind a slower revive how would they do it without adding in some animation to fill the longer time it takes?

Wanna be a little more specific? VPN to NZ timezone?There a glitch to play early.
Second Impressions
The new defense building, low ammo counts, and the fact that it can take forever to respawn is promoting a major campfest. Even tanks wont move up because they all want to camp near an ammo dump so they can conveniently reload.
Personally I cant stand it, but the old school BF fans should love it though.
I have the same blah feeling too. Not sure if I was experiencing bugs during my playthrough but I did run out of ammo a lot. I like the Rotterdam level, very spacious and reminds me of one of the bf1 levels too. It's actually too similar. Yet having to run around for ammo gets annoying when you have a full server and snipers posted everywhere.Maps seem pretty good, pace seems about right, feels a little blah tho. And if they're going to give you that little ammo they should have gone with mags instead of pool to promote support dependency.

I can't play as medic anymore. My key bindings for the medical pouch are not working. I press 3 and it shows the little selection on the lower right going to the medic pouch but then it goes back to my main weapon automatically. It shows 0 medical pouches as a medic. Not sure what's going on but this is the second or third day I've tried to play as medic and I can't. It seems none of my bindings for throwing ammo or medical pouch are working.
Something else must have happened when I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it. I think you can only toss a pouch if someone is hurt and in your line of sight. To heal yourself you now have to hold 5.I haven't played BF in awhile, so I didnt know what the deal was. Always shows 0, but then it appears I can toss 3 pouches. Noticed a cool down icon, so I figured the ui was bugged. Although it looks like I cant use a pouch for myself unless I toss it on the ground and move to it. I thought you used to be able to hold the bags and heal yourself, and others. Tossing was more for an area effect.
Aiming seems really weird too. Maybe I just need to dial everything in and get used to playing this type of game again.
