They have the same artstyle and that’s about it. The gameplay from the beta was nothing like 4. No loadouts, no armor abilities, no ordnance. Equal starts, everyone has a thruster pack, and all weapons spawn on the map via hard timers.

More akin to halo 2/3 with sprint and evade from reach. It was good fun if you went in with a team, otherwise you’d lose guaranteed no matter how good you were. Very focused on team play.
