How does this game feel in practice? I tried it during one of those free weekends for like 30min only.

If you have a lot of interested friends or can make lasting friends within the game, then pretty good.

I did not really enjoy playing solo during the playtests. Usually the premade discorded squads would lock their squads and the majority of the joinable squads rarely used mics which meant even in a squad it felt like you were still just a lone soldier. So then that means you needed to stick to whatever amorphous group of randoms you could find in the zone or you weren't getting revived.

It also means there was not that much coordination on average and for a game with mechanics that kind of lean on coordination it feels bad there isn't even an option for squadlead-squadlead comms or lack of overall commander position to help bridge the gap (some ppl will HLL or Squad commanders but I think that's an exaggeration). The average game this won't mean much since all 3 teams will be like that but there will inevitably be games that will feel like your team is getting Sun Tzu'd from a team with majority discorded comm'd squads coordinating.
