Unfinished game that feels like they rushed it out but still needed a year or two in the oven. The major bugs during the early access literally made the game unplayable...
But ultimately even so, IF performance was perfect, the maps are huge and 128 players is cool on paper but because of this design decision the maps are ALL completely empty, devoid of cover, there is practically NO destruction and there is no levelutions anymore.
There are barely any guns, operators are happy go lucky but the lore is dark and gritty, barely any skins or unlockables. This makes me think they intend on charging us for it all in the near future since they want this to be a live service game.
I don't expect DICE to fix these issues any time soon.
I cannot recommend this to anyone in it's current state. Maybe in a year IF they actually fix the game's lack of content.
And for good measure, here's a list of ALL missing features compared to previous Battlefield games. This is NOT a "Love letter to fans".

No single-player story (I could forgive if the base game actually had good content and lore but i see NO story or lore in the game)
No standard server browser
Fewer standardized game modes (Can't even play TDM or smaller scale modes without relying on community servers. Really?)
Fewer base game maps than any other title (even including portal the map count is only 13)
No persistent lobbies
Fewer in-game assignments (none outside of cosmetic unlocks)
No class system
Less character customization options (than BF5)
No profile progress/stats page in the menu
No battle log/stats tracker for other players
No global leader boards
No end of round assignment progress screen
No dog tags (they still sort of exist I guess?)
No custom emblems
Fewer achievements
No medals
Doesn't feel like a battlefield game
A LOT Less destruction
No map altering levolution
No permanent community servers (would be useful for clans and events)
Fewer guns (even including all the portal guns, BF4 still had more at launch)
Fewer infantry gadgets
No manual leaning
Performance is ♥♥♥♥ even with high end gpus like Rtx 2070, 2080,Rtx 3070,Rtx 3090 you will get ♥♥♥♥ fps and performance cuz this game is unfinished and unoptimized as ♥♥♥♥ it also doesn't use your gpu it draws ♥♥♥♥ ton from your cpu but not your gpu like wtf you would almost think grove street games developed this piece of trash !
No diving while swimming
No high wall vaulting
No crouch sprinting
No backwards prone
No explosion knockback
No rolling after falling from heights
No ammo or health pickup off teammates
No scope zeroing
No thermal optics
No indirect fire gadgets
Less anti-tank launchers
No lock-on launchers (The M5 works with the SOFLAM but that requires 2 people)
No AP mines/claymores
No static weapon emplacements
No fortification building
No resupply stations
No suppression mechanic (This one I don't mind but I'm including everything)
Fewer vehicle types (and separate vehicle progression per faction even though they are functionally identical... why???)
No squad wipe scoring
No player damage points
No vehicle damage points
Retarded specialists like it's a Call Of Duty game -
No vehicle kill assist points No headshot bonus No long-range kill bonus No assist counts as kill bonus No squad objective play bonus Oversimplified teamplay scoring (i.e. healing a teammate always gives you +5xp rather than the amount of health you give...
