You might want to hold off for a wee while, though, because it seems to be very, very early alpha, judging from the deluge of alpha videos that Behaviour has posted.

DICE have been looking at “how to decrease the feeling of getting killed when behind cover.” Hopefully they’ve managed this by preventing of you getting killed when behind cover. Just one of the reasons we put Battlefield 4 on trial for being a broken, bug-ridden mess.
