Let me start off by saying thank you for the communication and the breakdown of the decisions and improvements that are being worked on.
One area of concern i really want to draw attention to is the Insertion Flow.
---
you’ll enjoy the freedom of moving between the Specialists and loadouts that you need to support the Squad, and there are parts of the experience that we have in our builds today that help to reinforce that.
First, there’s our Insertion flow. Your squad mates will be shown your Player Cards, where you’ve got the chance to personalize, and flair it to show off your playstyles. There’s then additional time in pre-round, which was disabled during the Open Beta, to chat and make further changes to your squad comp so that you hit the ground running straight out of the gates.

With the video that was shared, at no point were we actually able to see what our squad had equipped and make changes to our loadouts to address those concerns. The lack of real-time feedback about what loadouts our squadmates are using, is not an improvement. All that was seemingly added were some cut scenes about the map we are playing on.
The Player Cards screen shows the skins and emotes we have bought, sure, but they don't show if i'm bringing an ammo box to the next map. And even if i do switch to bring an ammo box at the loadout screen, how will my teammates know that i did?
Lots of flash in the insertion flow, not a lot of useful info or gameplay immersive content. Felt completely out of place to be brought up during the "Team and Squad Play" portion of the briefing, as it does not fix any of the concerns with the lack of squad play.

There were a few videos of missing systems from the previous games, crouch running, leaning, supine stance, fortifications, destructibility to name a few.

Overall, it does look promising!
Paik's EMG-X scanner is concerning though, please reconsider this.

~Another improvement coming to consoles is the ability for you to engage with Text Chat for the first time. Now that we’re Cross Platform, we know how important it is to sustain accessible options for communication, and we’ve got you covered here.
For this a keyboard and a mouse would be a good option? No?
We hear you say, cross, cross, cross, but no news about cross input.
Bring cross input on consoles.

Looks like we aren't getting one. Considering we won't even have the main map at launch I fear a server browser is not coming.

@Straatford87Keeping this pathetic specialist gimmick in the game means you didn't learn anything, one of them has a built in wallhack ffs.
Lol, what has that got to do with specialists? Recon used to have a magic enemy ping gadget in BF3, so it doesn't make any difference if it's a gadget for the class or you get it by choosing a specialist.
You people need to move on.
Specialists have been built into the game design since day 1 and you're deluded if you think they are going to rework the whole game now.
Plenty of us think they are a cool interesting change to class dynamics and I suspect most of the people playing will enjoy the freedom they offer to gameplay.
New name, new look, same great benefits: EA Access and Origin Access are now EA Play.
