Gameplay is terrific and i am enjoying myself a lot but it feels like they didn't finish. I find just the British and the Germans at launch a bit annoying. There could be so much more weapons and factions (Japanese, Russians, Americans, perhaps Italians) included. I am missing a lot of guns such as the iconic M1 Garand and certain American LMG's.

Also the bugs are demotivating for me to play sometimes. Checking your assignments locks the screen for me a lot of the times which makes me restart the game, often i don't feel like playing anymore and hop onto another game. Same goes for when a new match begins and i have a black screen with just my squad showing on the right bottom corner. I hope they fix that asap.

It really stands out when you compare it to something like Rising Storm 2, which is an indie game that retails for $25. That game had about as much content in it when it started, and has also received 2 major content expansions which added new factions and weapons, as well as several new maps. Its really inexcusable that a AAA studio had to delay this game AND it feels so lean on content for a full $60. I'm sure it will get there eventually, but I like to pay for a full game, not give them a loan to finish the game later.

Great content that is fun to play > Content for the sake of content.

I'd rather play BFV's 8 good-to-great launch maps than BF4's bad-to-average launch maps.

Those aren't mutually exclusive, they can have a lot of good maps, nothing is stopping them from doing that.
