This is my first Battlefield game so I don't know how it compares to the rest.
But atmospherically it's quite amazing and impressive to me.
Buildings collapsing around you, sprinting around the battlefield under fire flinging yourself into trenches at the last moment. Desperately trying to set up a rocket launcher on a ledge support in the corner of a dilapidated building hoping no one notices you so you can take out an enemy tank squad rolling through the streets below, even the recoil is impressive and it feels like you can really notice the weight of the shell you fired since you can literally see a glowing thick white shot soaring through the air followed by a small explosion, debris cloud and smoke plume.
There are a variety of maps which slant towards different kind of playstyles. There is a jungle map with no vehicles which I feel reminds me the most of call of duty 4 which ive also played before. Since it then becomes a lot about small arms fire, running around taking cover, aiming, camping and tossing explosives and other individual special equipment. And mortaring. Shotguns, bipoded machine guns, self-loading rifles, bolt-actions, carbines etc.
There are also huge desert maps which open up the space for aerial combat (which can have quite a steep learning curve) and land bombardment.
Medium sized maps with sand dunes and cliffs which enable severe sniper gameplay, and only having light-medium land vehicles focuses the weight of the combat on a lot of front-line pushes and friction and sustained attrition, with the occasional flank by a determined and skilled horse rider.
Of course the muddy and grey trench maps, potholes, dead trees, ruins after what I can only presume to be weeks of bombardment. The poppy fields, wheat fields, winter maps of the russian revolution and austro-russian front.

Much fewer hackers and cheaters nowadays. In Asia there will sometimes be a few alive official hong kong servers depending on the maps in rotation, but the more reliably populated ones will be the community Japanese servers.
