I wouldn't say Battlefield like.

idk, battlefield-like seems like a pretty apt descriptor

I just played it a bit. You select a load out, spawn at a base, then use vehicles to capture flags and the first team to hit a score limit wins. It's pretty Battlefieldish.
Comparing it to Battlefield seems fine since they both have spacious maps, vehicles, and control points in common. I played it for about ten minutes. While it's not fleshed out enough to be taken seriously, it could be great if the developer added more maps, weapons, and a multiplayer component. I thought the blocky characters were cute and charming.

My first thought is how could a game be called battlefield-like without multiplayer? But it seriously is. Just with bots.
This is actually really fun to mess with. The guy even programmed a knockdown system, were if a explosion goes off close to you it makes your character ragdoll and get back up. Not only that, but the weapon moving on the screen affects were the bullets come from, so recoil feels a bit more authentic. The AI is decent too, though sometimes they might be too good and insta-kill choppers. This could really turn into something.
