Yeah, pretty much everyone would've laughed at the concept. "Titanfall BR but super dumbed down." But now they get to try it for free and see how polished it is, and how many neat little QoL additions it has that just make it fun to play.
I'd just like bigger magazine sizes all around. It's pretty silly that all the full auto guns have like 17 bullets by default, and you can't kill shielded people even if you hit every shot.
