I've got the beta, and I gotta say, this game blows Battlefield 3 out of the water. Large scale is truly large. Every moment of action feel epic.
I was in a battle today for about four hours pushing back and forth between two bases. At one point I counted over thirty aircraft in the sky above the area we were fighting in. Between the bombers, troop escort gunships and tanks and mechs on the ground, it was incredibly hectic, but incredibly satisfying when we made the push and secured both bases.
The largest battles in Battlefield 3 (the largest 'large scale' game I've played) are 32 vs 32 on a map that's roughly 700 meters from end to end. The battle I took part in today had between 200 and 300 people in it in an area that spanned around 3,000 meters. That was roughly 1/12th of the map.
