One thing to note is that while the guns are definitely more "spray'n'pray" as is befitting the era, this is only available on softcore mode. Most people I know play on hardcore on BF4 so that's a BIG drop off in instant damage. I found it frustrating too as assault, until at least I unlocked some of the trench weapons and started to stay indoors more
Another thing is that they have changed the scoring it seems. Its REALLY suiting me because In BF4 I was happy to be in the top 10 on my side, tonight I was rocking MVP about half the games I played. I was never out of the top 5. This is partly because the beta players aren't as good as regular BF4 players imho and also because I'm a much more tactical player than a FFA sort of player. I don't bother shooting people, unless its at an objective or its an easy kill. I prefer to focus entirely on objectives because those are what win matches. And BOY does winning matter in BF1. It about doubles your score and shoots you up the XP line.
The scoring has been changed so that you score for taking objectives, teams no longer have tickets which are lost for deaths. Objectives are everything now.
I am loving the atmosphere I have to say, the sand storms, the noise and confusion and the shouts and general melee are great 0 -

I hope hardcore helps. My only concern is the ease I've seen some players pull off one shot kills with sniper rifles at point blank range, to me they're the sort of weapon that unless you are genuinely aiming should be wildly inaccurate. With this its not a matter of damage but accuracy.Another thing is that they have changed the scoring it seems.

I'm trying to do a little feedback video on the scoring, its been very controversial and I'm torn on it.
I dont mind it putting greater emphasise on the objective, in fact I approve.
But due to the timer there is a much greater sense that once one team gets a certain amount ahead it is impossible to catch up, unlike smaller domination games it's very hard in battlefield to lockdown all the cap points, even with a behemoth so you cant lock an enemy team out and push for a rapid comeback so it generates a lot more frustration when you cross that threshold and know you cant really do anything which becomes counter productive to Dice's goal of having more players play the objective.
The timer itself is a frustration because it's only there for the behomeths really. They need the timer to balance them to the strength of the losing team.
Team is blatantly losing (by a lot of points) behemoth spawns much earlier, lots of time for it to be used correctly.
Team is losing but only by 20-30 points, behemoth spawns much later, only have 1-3 minutes to put it to the right use to turn the tide.
Team is losing by 1-5 points. Behemoth doesnt spawn.
Problem is I cant work out some system other then the timer to balance the behemoths.
I thought maybe if they had instead a point value, that they spawn when one team reaches X points (say 150) so the other team then gets the behemoth but if its destroyed would net the winning team an extra 50 points it might balance things, but that can make them more of a liability to the losing team then a benefit and some players might prefer if it didnt spawn at all if it could potentially cost them the game
Though saying that, if you are a team thats very far behind, perhaps it is better that you try for a hail mary pass with the behemoth. failing just means the game will end sooner rather then dragging out a loss that clearly not going to turn around.
Overall its an issue thats been very unpopular with the beta.I am loving the atmosphere I have to say, the sand storms, the noise and confusion and the shouts and general melee are great
I love the atmosphere but supposably this is also an issue as its client side meaning this can happen:

2 players in the same game getting 2 different effects.
Hopefully its a bug and will be fixed, because otherwise this is going to be War Thunder ULQ all over again.0
