My thoughts 🤔
Reloads are more up to date, new frostbite engine looks clean btw, hit boxes look larger, holy 🚫 it looks good. I can tell they used Hardline movement, BFV pacing, BF4 stylized graphics but cleaner, Like they took the best of BF and put it in one game.

It is an alpha, not the end game, it looks better than cod in all truth and I like its mobility, it does not feel cod at all I hope you try it ,I love battlefield and this is a point and you can see the objective and how is the large map
