[broken glade]

did the white horse thing end with anything though

[misty moat]

50bmg auto shotgun

[broken glade]

or still unsolved

[stuck jewel]

It's still unsolved

[cerulean hatch]

Nobody knows if there was even anything to 'solve'

[stuck jewel]

Probably doesn't matter as of the 23rd

[cerulean hatch]

But now we know what the next game is

[zenith kelp]

50bmg isnt a shotgun shell

dumbo

[cerulean hatch]

An dit's only like 36 hours until full reveal.

[misty moat]

Exactly

[stuck jewel]

Honestly I don't care anymore

I'm hyped for pacific front maps

[misty moat]

fuTuRiSTic ShOtgUn

[zenith kelp]

HYPE

[broken glade]

Pacific front will probably be DLC tbh

[zenith kelp]

THE HYPE

i hope not

[stuck jewel]

I'm sure we will get at least one pacific map in vanilla

[zenith kelp]

hopefully

[stuck jewel]

Anyways I'm mildly sure premium will be gone this year

[misty moat]

just think of the planes and tanks. Real planes.

[zenith kelp]

or theyll sell us the game fully finished with ALL theatres of ww2

[misty moat]

Real guns

[stuck jewel]

Tanks ❤

[zenith kelp]

probably not tho

[misty moat]

Real tanks

[stuck jewel]

Dude Tiger II

[misty moat]

Real uniforms

oooo

T-34

Shermanananana

[zenith kelp]

cod ww2 was ass

[misty moat]

He-1111111

B-17

[stuck jewel]

Dude so many amazing WW2 vehicles

[misty moat]

ahhhhhhhhhh

I just cant wait

[zenith kelp]

they made the Volkssturmgewehr FULL AUTO

[stuck jewel]

Half tracks

[zenith kelp]

wtf

[misty moat]

Also, updates to the frostbite engine

[zenith kelp]

cod ww2 was the bggest let down

[misty moat]

Better graphics

[stuck jewel]

dude games don't do justice to half tracks

[karmic rivet]

No one ever in lfg 😭

[stuck jewel]

Actually about Frostbite

[karmic rivet]

Can’t wait for bfv

[stuck jewel]

Frostbite received a major update during BF1's Naval DLC

[misty moat]

Really?

[stuck jewel]

Yep

[broken glade]

would anyone be annoyed if they priced the game slightly higher and gave all dlc access over the next 12 months without premium

[misty moat]

noooo

[cerulean hatch]

Not me, but a lot of people would be.

[stuck jewel]

The Naval DLC was a testing ground for graphical changes and if you pay close attention you can tell.

[cerulean hatch]

People would lose their shit if it was only $65 instead of $60

[misty moat]

It would be a good deal

[stuck jewel]

Compare it to other BF1 maps and yea it shows

[cerulean hatch]

People are idiots

[misty moat]

Either way

Its like paying a bit extra for confirmed big updates

[stuck jewel]

I'm actually pretty sure they'll be adding tons of cosmetic MTX's like soldier customization, melee animations/taunts, store-only camos to make up for lack of premium

[shut brook]

I'd be fine if they went away with premium and it just costed 80$

[stuck jewel]

I'd be ok with it too

[broken glade]

let's be honest, there's a lot more man hours in AAA games now

especially bf

[misty moat]

I would love better customization

@broken glade EXCEPT COD

Bf1 really lacked the personalization

[broken glade]

the time it takes digital artists to make detailed models and textures is crazy

[zenith kelp]

salute

emote

make it happen

DICE

[misty moat]

Swastikas make it yes very please

D I S M E M B E R M E N T

[stuck jewel]

Yea but @broken glade you have the power of not only DICE SE but more than likely DICE LA on these studios

Now I actually live close to DICE LA and their building is huge and they employ tons of people and DICE SE is 2x as large. These devs work real damn hard and shell out great shit

Honestly imo DICE SE-LA are some of the hardest working devs in the industry but they're hella passionate

[zenith kelp]

i passed by DICE Sweden

never went in :/

yes its big

[misty moat]

Its insane comparing their employee count to companies like activision

Relatively, theyre much smaller, yet built an amazing engine with dynamic destruction, beautiful graphics, and made these great games.

[zenith kelp]

^^

thanks DICE

you guys are great

[stuck jewel]

DICE started with Codename: Eagle a janky Domination based WW1.5 game

Nearly 20+ years later they've reached this point, true respect man

[zenith kelp]

yeah theyre the real MVPs

👏🏻

[misty moat]

Thank you, DICE

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

weeee

[stuck jewel]

Anyways I'm off to bed

[zenith kelp]

dab on them haters

[misty moat]

Gnight

[stuck jewel]

Can't wait to see more teasers TBH

If we get any

[misty moat]

finger dab

[violet talon]

Problem with using the same engine lately on all games is that its just the same rehashed tripe. No fun any more its all about the DLC and loot boxes

[pseudo spindle]

I don't think the engine has anything to do with DLC or loot boxes

[misty moat]

Im hopeful about BFV however, because it's been 2 years since Bf1, and EA had a huge lesson about lootboxes in the meantime

[violet talon]

No but the same tired look does, ala Battlefront 1,2 battlefield 1 and now V#

I've been playing battlefield from its inception, so as always ill wait and see but I just dont have a good feeling since they started going down hill.

they havent learnt their lesson, they saiud internal reports suggest loot boxes are fine, and they put them back in battlefront 2... bfv will be infested pay top win

you will see.

[zenith kelp]

hmm

[pseudo spindle]

They put them back in SWBFII the way they are in BF1 and reworked the entire progression system to work without them after the backlash

[violet talon]

look, I want it to be good, but its EA here we are talking about, its not what dice want to do.

[misty moat]

Apparentlt, EA is so greedy that at the time of Battlefront 2, they forced DICE to implement that system. Apparently, DICE employees spoke out that they weren't on board. Hopefully something different happens this year.

[zenith kelp]

fudge EA

theyre a bunch of fricks

[misty moat]

darn you heccity poops

[indigo tusk]

I wonder if we get actual gore like COD WW2

[vague marsh]

dont say but

[wooden hare]

@indigo tusk you’re kidding right?

[misty moat]

Id love that tbh

[foggy birch]

has anyone been able to figure out what the writing in the dudes eyes says in the battlefield teaser?

[solid hinge]

I do not believe Five is WW2

It doesn't make sense

[grand wasp]

just watch

its cross-era

[solid hinge]

They wouldn't name it five

[grand wasp]

youlll see

[real siren]

They can.

[solid hinge]

Like it would make much more sense as 1943

[real siren]

uhh

[solid hinge]

44*

[real siren]

ah

[misty moat]

The BfV teaser shows the axis cross at the top of the screen

How is it not Ww2

[random wind]

my sources tell me it's set in the 13th century children's crusade

[misty moat]

Uppp over there at the top thingy

[indigo tusk]

19th century warfare confirmed

[misty moat]

Crusades

Children playing in a sandbox confirmed

[solid hinge]

I feel like it is an alternate universe

Or reality

[indigo tusk]

steampunk

cuz of goggles

[misty moat]

lol of course

[random wind]

i actually theorised bf1 would be alternate universe cos the concept artist did some steampunk type stuff

[misty moat]

That would be interesting

[solid hinge]

Like maybe diselpunk

[random wind]

it would be but tbh id rather stick to real history

[solid hinge]

I would love diselpunk

[random wind]

dlc could be fun though

[misty moat]

I guess everything would be conceptualized and otiginal, like vehicles, weapons, maps

[random wind]

ya railguns n shit

[misty moat]

Still, though, ww2 is my hope

[indigo tusk]

EMU war confirmed

[solid hinge]

I just feel like that german flag is a trick

[misty moat]

My wet dream

I hope nottttt

[solid hinge]

Thats way too fuckinh obvious

[misty moat]

It issss but likeee plsss dice

Let mw have my happiness

[random wind]

i kinda get what you're saying, like why did have the hud in?

[misty moat]

I want a good, arcadey ww2 shooter that isnt cod ww2

[solid hinge]

Yeah fucking way

[random wind]

was that meant to demonstrate there would be advanced animations in online?

[random wind]

was that in online?

many questions

[solid hinge]

The guy even gets points for a squad mate spawning

Legendary quote

[indigo tusk]

@solid hinge I just finished watching BOB

[solid hinge]

Nice ee!!!

[indigo tusk]

so damn good

[solid hinge]

Like that teaser is all kinds of fucked

Ye ikr haha

[misty moat]

If so, then the whole teaser could be a red herring. Even without the hud. People would notice that hes not wearing modern military attire

[solid hinge]

Also why the Britbongs

https://youtu.be/3HbM7eNp8zo

[misty moat]

So its really anybodys guess at this point

[solid hinge]

Best bob trailer in world

😍

[random wind]

capture this feel and ill be grand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBeXRvdlmyY

[solid hinge]

Well that guy has to be a pilot

What soldier wears goggles

[misty moat]

💖 💖 💖

💖 BoB 💖

💖 💖 💖

[solid hinge]

@random wind yea I remember that one

[indigo tusk]

I would love to see Operation Market Garden

[random wind]

they take liberties with gear and stuff

[solid hinge]

Bob is such an amazing serie

[random wind]

so maybe it confirms more customisable stuff

yea it's great

pacific also too

[solid hinge]

Yep

I love operation market garden

Ye me 2 because I am Dutch haha

Tearing up the dutch country side

Oh

[random wind]

lol

i'm half dutch

[heady kite]

Could be a paratrooper

[random wind]

so i'm half offended

[indigo tusk]

Battle of Guam

[solid hinge]

Lel

[misty moat]

god i want ww2. Imagine dive bombing Stalingrad in a stuka, or being dive bombed in a T-34

[indigo tusk]

Even though I live there lol

invade my island

[solid hinge]

Your country is a beautiful place you Windmills are great targets decorations

[misty moat]

Or the battle of the bulge or berlin or whatever

[lusty jungle]

where do you recon the maps are going to be located?

[random wind]

d-day would be cool

[shut brook]

you know there gonna have Normandy operations

[solid hinge]

I have stormed the Normandy beaches enough for one lifetime

Give me Berlin

Leningrad too

[indigo tusk]

Do you know what would be better

D-Day, but the paradrop operations

[shut brook]

Guadalcanal

[solid hinge]

I mean paradrop op would be hard

[lusty jungle]

i really hope they go old school on bf 5

[solid hinge]

No vehicle support

[random wind]

just got here, is there seriously not channels for the different battlefields?

[shut brook]

seems not

[random wind]

that's a shame

[solid hinge]

Yeah where is my bad company two channel

[indigo tusk]

It could be a seperate gamemmode

[solid hinge]

Also I want BF5 to magically become bad company three

[random wind]

isn't this like the reddit discord

for battlefield in general

[wary mason]

Pretty much

[random wind]

okey

[solid hinge]

Oh wow

So it is confirmed to be ww2 at this point lol

[random wind]

i got a battlefield 1 related question.
i just got on after not playing for probably about a year, having way more fun than i did the first time and noticed i'm able to play as the french yet that's in a dlc which it says i do not have. whats up with that?

[solid hinge]

Look at the top of the teaser

Its a german and british flag

:D

WW2 HYPPPPPPPPE

Cant wait for the ww2 ops

Spitfire or bust

[desert knot]

@random wind u own They Shall not pass?

[solid hinge]

I really hope there is some pacific maps tho

At least wake

Mustang or bust

[indigo tusk]

yeah

[random wind]

it says i don't

[solid hinge]

bring back wake

:D

[indigo tusk]

guam, guadacanal, okinawa, peleliu

[desert knot]

But u bought it before?

[solid hinge]

Tiger or bust

[indigo tusk]

Camp Gloucester

[random wind]

nope, haven't bought any dlc for bf1

[solid hinge]

French DLC was recently free

pacific operations

island hopping

dice pls

[wary mason]

Is premium friends enabled?

[indigo tusk]

I do hope the campaign focuses more on massive battles than stealth missions

[wary mason]

That could explain it

[random wind]

but when i try and join conquest> they shall not pass, it says i need premium

[solid hinge]

its gonna be awesomeee

[random wind]

i didn't join through friends if that's what you mean

[desert knot]

U might be choosing the wrong map rotation kosher

[wary mason]

I thought you logged out of discord @desert knot

[heady kite]

What do you guys think "never be the same" means?

[random wind]

map rotation? i just join through quick match

[solid hinge]

Maybe

[wary mason]

Lets calm down with the pictures

[solid hinge]

Just maybe

it probably wont happen and i kow most people wont like it but

It will be a persistent thing

instead of the zeppelin

[random wind]

you guys seriously need dedicated channels

[solid hinge]

we could get a bomber or something

heavy bomber

[desert knot]

@random wind shoot me a dm if u want im omw to bus soon so i might not be able to respond immediately

[random wind]

thanks man, i'll investigate it a bit further before i do but if i still don't come up with anything i'll hit you up

[indigo tusk]

imagine if they do include Guam as part of the pacific operations

[desert knot]

Basically what i suspect: theres 3 rotations to choose from when using quickmatch, and 2 of them require premium if im not mistaken

Might be that

[random wind]

oh that could be right

[solid hinge]

The multiple fronts has me really praying they do the pacific

But it could also just mean western and eastern europe

Which would be a bummer to me

[indigo tusk]

China vs Japan would be interesting too

[random wind]

i hope we get some african campaigns. it;s so underdone in ww2 related medias

[blazing chasm]

@indigo tusk i want a german story where the germans are winning WW2 and that Story should continue in BF6 with WW3

[indigo tusk]

mm

World War 3??

[random wind]

wolfenstein is p good for that

[indigo tusk]

yeah

How would it escalate into World War 3 though?

[misty moat]

@blazing chasm I mean, with operations, its kiiind of like that

Germans can win there

[indigo tusk]

yeah

Not campaign

[solid hinge]

What if

The new ui looks nice

They do cold war turns hot

wait

=wrong pic

[misty moat]

Spicy meat a ball

[solid hinge]

i like the bf1

i see it gets shit on a lot but i dont understand why because ive never really had an issue with it

[indigo tusk]

looks so clean

[heady kite]

If this is WW2, will they walk through all the conflicts and end on future war with new 2143 in about 6-8 years?

[random wind]

i wouldn't mind a dirtied up ai, muh immersion and all that

ui*

[misty moat]

A grime covered ui might look a bit cheesy tho

[random wind]

yeah it could

[misty moat]

Im sure they could pull it pff though

[random wind]

i don't see it done much so a bit curious i guess

[misty moat]

Yeah, probably some game out there thats done it right

I do like the simple minimilist ui however, mainly because its not flashy and gets the job done

Bf4 hurt my eyes sometimes

On bright maps, its sometimes hard to see

[random wind]

lol lens flare

[misty moat]

Zoooomm post processing

[random wind]

jj abrams directed it

i do like all the lens flare and lighting tho, very stylish

[misty moat]

We need intense lense flares that go over your hud

Mmm perfection

Yeah the lense flares are pretty cinematic at times

[random wind]

very cinematic game

i wonder if they're going back to that with that online looking animation in v

[misty moat]

I hope so

[random wind]

maybe it's a medic animation?

[misty moat]

Although, judging from the looks of it, it looks pretty gritty like bf1

[random wind]

like a more advanced revive

[misty moat]

Yeahhh

Although it looks like hes aggressively choking you

[random wind]

lol

[misty moat]

With his hand at the base of the screen

And the shushing

[thorn condor]

A finish off mechanic?

[random wind]

isnt he saying get the fuck up though

[misty moat]

Like shhhhhhh

Idk

[indigo tusk]

It doesn't look like a medic animation

His smirk at the end is quite menacing

[misty moat]

It looks to me more like this is the only way i can euthanize you im sorry youre too fargone

[random wind]

oh you're right

it does looking like he's choking you out

that's cool

[thorn condor]

He looks like he is choking him out, the muffled screams

[misty moat]

Its so weird

[indigo tusk]

a short medic animation would be cool though

[misty moat]

Like, hes on your team?

[random wind]

yea, i wouldn't want anything drawn out

[misty moat]

And why is he weird triangle class

[random wind]

he reminds me of cpt price from cod mw1

[misty moat]

Or whatever

Pff

[random wind]

so maybe he''s just nuts and scottish

[misty moat]

Or just scottish

[random wind]

yes

haha

[misty moat]

You never know

[indigo tusk]

Remember that the enemy is probably german, with his camo and goggles

and the player is on the british team

[misty moat]

What a pure, Aryan face he has

[indigo tusk]

so, it's highly likely it's a takedown animation

[thorn condor]

Bayonet charge 2.0?

[indigo tusk]

fist takedowns

[misty moat]

The librarian choke

He just wants peace and quiet

[thorn condor]

The teaser is definitely a takedown or finish off animation, the screams and you see the guys hand near your neck, and he smirks

[misty moat]

Well, quiet

[indigo tusk]

Besides, who would he need to be quiet in a warzone lol

[misty moat]

I hope thats what the actual graphics look like. The subtle facial animations are amazing

[random wind]

bf1 graphics were insane

so i wouldn't mind if there wasn't a big step

[misty moat]

Yeah. Its been like, two years

Im hopeful

[thorn condor]

Just interesting that the teaser looks more like an in engine pre-recorded thing but you see MP HUD

[random wind]

yea

[misty moat]

Yeah, very odd

[random wind]

maybe a more story based multiplayer?

like co-op or summet

[violet schooner]

If that's the full hud in the trailer. I'm stoked. I hate lots of shit on my hud

[misty moat]

GOd THE BEHEMOTHS

omggg

cant wait to see what they have

Anyway

[random wind]

fat man behemoth

[misty moat]

Yeah i do like minimal huds, like in Il-2 BoS

Oh lordy

[indigo tusk]

M1 garand ping 😉

[undone lily]

ww2 confirmed

[misty moat]

oooooff

[undone lily]

but how?

they’re just flags

[random wind]

https://imgur.com/hl1Gh2T anyone had a crack at what might be reflected?

[undone lily]

jesus that’s creepy

[misty moat]

The german flag is specific to ww2

[violet schooner]

I AM VERY EXCITED TO HEAR THOSE MERLIN ENGINES IN AIR SUPERIORITY

[indigo tusk]

@random wind looks like an eye

[thorn condor]

Nothing confirmed until Wednesday

[random wind]

can eye?

[misty moat]

Looks like a backwards L in the middle

[indigo tusk]

*an

[random wind]

lol

[undone lily]

those eyes sort of reflect the woods behind them

i guess

isk

[indigo tusk]

Tuesday for me

[undone lily]

idk

[random wind]

i see writing

[indigo tusk]

in Guam at least

[violet schooner]

Thursday for me

[undone lily]

lol it will be thursday for me rip

AU

[violet schooner]

Yea

[thorn condor]

Thursday

[undone lily]

and it’s tuesday rn

[indigo tusk]

yeah

[violet schooner]

I'm getting up at 5 to watch the full stream

[undone lily]

ye nah

[misty moat]

Wednesday for moi haha peasants

[random wind]

9pm wednesday, sound

[misty moat]

1 pm

[undone lily]

nice

it’s prolly gonna look and feel like bf1

[misty moat]

I mean, same physical time but wednesday sounds coole

Yeah

OH

Can i rant a biy

Bit

[solid hinge]

What time est?

[undone lily]

go ahead

[misty moat]

Ok so

[random wind]

i hope we get more vehicles this time round

in play

[indigo tusk]

going to play BF 1942 while i wait

[undone lily]

i hate vehicles

because i suck

[indigo tusk]

or the old, good CODs (1,2)

[random wind]

same

i cant do vehicles in bf1 likely because i havent practised enough

but i was ace with a tank in 4

[indigo tusk]

COD WW2 should have just been a direct remake of COD 1

[undone lily]

or waw

oof rant incoming

[misty moat]

I feel like since Bf1 is Ww1, they had to spice things up with more vehicles, more submachine and machine guns, and mire actiony gameplay. My concern is that their version of Ww1 is very similar to what Ww2 could be, so im worried that these two games will look, feel, and play very similarly

There

[random wind]

yea

[undone lily]

well yeh

[random wind]

kinda my fear as well

[undone lily]

they made ww1 more like ww2 tbh

with all the automatic weapons

[misty moat]

i hope its new and innovative

Yeah

[violet schooner]

imagine U-boat gameplay

[misty moat]

Oooh

Submarines

Bomber crews

[undone lily]

i bet that’s gonna come

[random wind]

but i think they realised that hence why they pointed out it would be like unlike anything you've seen before

[undone lily]

elite class- ss

[misty moat]

I hope so

[undone lily]

oof

[random wind]

but bf1 underused land vehicles so muchly

[misty moat]

gestapo luger executions

[undone lily]

yes

elite class- gestapo

[misty moat]

elite class- hitler

the big d

[random wind]

mg42

[misty moat]

Mp-40

[undone lily]

bf games never had gore

[misty moat]

MP FREAKING 40'S

[undone lily]

but it makes a game more immersive

[misty moat]

It does

[indigo tusk]

I wonder if they will include it this time

[undone lily]

especially if it’s ww2

[random wind]

waw had mad gore but they stopped after that

[misty moat]

I really want that

[indigo tusk]

since mainstream titles like COD had gore

WW2 had mild gore

[undone lily]

i mean dice really makes great animations and stuff if they really try making gore then it would look amazing

[misty moat]

I mean currently, we dont even have bullet hole wounds on people

[random wind]

gore adds a lot of controversy so i think theyll stay away from it

[undone lily]

ww2 is one of the bloodiest imo

[random wind]

id argue ww1 was

[undone lily]

i mean cod has had gore since cod5 so

[bright plaza]

Anyone not stoked about WW2 but me?

[undone lily]

@random wind oh i was talking about cod ww2

[misty moat]

But imagine being in a tank, then shooting someone and having them literally explode in giblets

[random wind]

ooh

didn't play it

[undone lily]

nah didn’t play ww2 either but seen gore reviews Lol

[bright plaza]

May be the first BF game I won't buy at launch...

[random wind]

i see lol

[indigo tusk]

Gore in CODWW2 sucked tbh

[misty moat]

Heeyyy no

Ww2 will be cool

[undone lily]

it wasn’t consistent

[misty moat]

Anyone watch Gore reviews?

[random wind]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeFTmIZMISY

[indigo tusk]

So it would be interesting if Dice includes it

[undone lily]

i actually think a reason why they didn’t include gore is because it would take up too much memory

[misty moat]

Nvm there you go

[random wind]

ha ninja'd

kinda

[misty moat]

You beat me

[undone lily]

gore effects by itself take a lot of space to make plus the game itself is already huge

[misty moat]

Yeah butt gooooore

Yknow maaan?

[random wind]

while bf1 didn't have gore it's ragdoll effects were under-appreciated

[undone lily]

put them into the single player maybe

in scripted scenes

[misty moat]

They are pretty nice, although they seem pretty exaggerated. Theyre too floppy

[undone lily]

yeh

[misty moat]

The ragdolls i mean

[random wind]

big improvement over 4 where my corpse would get rubber-banded and bent into th time continuum

[undone lily]

ye lol

[misty moat]

Fair enough

[undone lily]

am i the only one that thinks bf3 and bf4’s art style look quite cartoon-ish?

[misty moat]

But yeah, planting a tripmine, or sniping someones head and having it literally pop

[random wind]

i never saw cartoonish but maybe too clean

[misty moat]

I would actually say that bf1's had its own kind of style too

[undone lily]

like the colours are sometimes super vibrant

[misty moat]

Things are too smooth

[undone lily]

yeh bf1’s style was vastly different to previous titles imo

[misty moat]

Although can we appreciate the bumpy mud and extremely high res textures in bf1

Like cod ww2 has source engine looking textures

[undone lily]

yeh the graphics are amazing

[random wind]

dynamic craters as well were sick

[misty moat]

Oof yeah

[random wind]

ground damage

[misty moat]

The attention to detail

[undone lily]

cod never had great graphics

it’s dice

[misty moat]

Yeahh, wasnt really their strong point

[random wind]

i'd love a forest map where we could just deforest the entire thing with explosives

[misty moat]

Like battle of the bulge?

[undone lily]

play cod for its gameplay

[random wind]

yeh

[misty moat]

That would be cool

[random wind]

exactly

[undone lily]

bf is more of immersion

[misty moat]

Tanks knocking down trees

[undone lily]

gameplay as well

[random wind]

bits of branches and splinters flying about with machine gun fire

would be nuts

bf1 captured that intensity rlly well

[undone lily]

particles

[random wind]

aye

[undone lily]

nah i turn them down low

tryhard

[misty moat]

One thing that really irked me was that despite having amazing destruction, bullet holes dont even spawn half the time

[undone lily]

it’s really distracting

[misty moat]

Whaaat but its so fancy. All the bits of rubble and splinters

[random wind]

i like stuff being as chaotic as possible

[undone lily]

a kill cam would be nice...

[random wind]

naw

[misty moat]

Omg yes

[random wind]

well optional i guess

[misty moat]

It would help against cheaters too

[random wind]

oh true

[undone lily]

there’s so many “battlefield moments” that need to be captured

[misty moat]

And let you learn new techniques and whatnot

[random wind]

maybe like an editing room?

for vids n stuff

[misty moat]

Oooh

Only if were really lucky

[random wind]

something like rockstar editor in v

doubt it but could be fun

[undone lily]

wonder why practice range didn’t make it into bf1

[random wind]

also commander mode

i had fun with that

[misty moat]

Eh, war stories are enough I guess?

[undone lily]

commander is fun? idk man

[random wind]

it was good to cool down

there wasnt enough depth to it

[misty moat]

anyway gtg yall, gonna sleep and wake to bfv reveal eve

[random wind]

but squishing camping bastards with supply drops was fun

cya

[misty moat]

toodles

[undone lily]

cya

i just wonder what “never be the same” might mean

[random wind]

yeah

[undone lily]

that’s why i thought of “ww2 alternate timeline”

[delicate ermine]

Probably the use of new weapons and tactics in WW2

[undone lily]

damn

no more gadgets?

[random wind]

what makes you thunk tha

[undone lily]

idk man

[random wind]

i hope not

[undone lily]

u know the teaser trailer

[random wind]

gadgets were gr8

[undone lily]

the hud looks plain

there’s only a health bar

[random wind]

i think maybe thats because you're in like a semi cutscene

like your weapon isnt drawn

[undone lily]

still multiplayer tho

[random wind]

doubt its the entire hud tbh

theyll want to keep it accessible

[undone lily]

i mean gadgets is what makes battlefield battlefield

[random wind]

right

[undone lily]

i’m just taking wild guesses

[random wind]

i think everyone is at this point ha

[undone lily]

cuz bf isn’t that different to other games if you took our gadgets

[random wind]

vehicles and scale set it apart

but bf1 was a bit more run n gun like

so some of the maps wouldnt be far off w/out the gadgets

cough that funnel one cough cough

[undone lily]

mmm

gtg cya

[random wind]

cya

[violet locust]

Lol, why did you delete that

[hushed pawn]

Was about to ask why the mods/staff would delete it.

[violet locust]

He deleted it himself 😄

[hushed pawn]

Yeah, I believe you.

was successfully trolled

[indigo tusk]

Yo momma so ugly

She looked worse than COD infinite warfare

[violet locust]

😱

[hushed pawn]

I expect more effort than that. 😛

[violet locust]

That's not very nice

[shut brook]

oh common IW was a good game, I really like the campaign

the multiplayer? haven't played a CoD Multiplayer since.... BO2 ish

[real siren]

The multi in that game was junk.

I don't mind future stuff, I honestly love the style of futuristic COD. But I'm not a fan of the ridiculously awful servers they use.

[ripe arch]

35 hours.

[rose basin]

idk it is fake or not

[broken glade]

that looks

quite convincing

[rose basin]

https://i.gyazo.com/98894c37686382096597e6cca5916e18.png

[ripe arch]

Source?

[broken glade]

looks like someone took a photo of a demo screen

[rose basin]

source https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/8l87qm/could_this_be_the_next_spawnload_screen_for_bfv/

[hushed pawn]

Looks fake, for one reason.

Look at the flag and compare to the one in the teaser: https://i.redd.it/o5aod3ebvaz01.png

[rose basin]

say that it is a fanmade but look really true

[broken glade]

yeah flag doesnt match, gg

[ripe arch]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DdvUSlAUwAIP53R?format=jpg

[random wind]

could b early stages

ooh we hd now

[ripe arch]

Indeed it's fan made

[south flicker]

Fan made

[rose basin]

yep, fan made

[broken glade]

yeah fan made, squad icons also dont match

[shut brook]

Toudefrance40.....

[broken glade]

its REALLY nice though

[hushed pawn]

Yeah. Icons don't match and honestly the soldiers look painted.

[ripe arch]

The UI design is garbage, DICE would never... cough

[rose basin]

xD

[random wind]

ye ui does look off

[broken glade]

I mean you can tell they just designed this based off the bf1 UI

[hushed pawn]

Yeaaah...DICE has never been particularly good with UI.

[rose basin]

and main menu...

[broken glade]

battlelog did nothing wrong

[rose basin]

i prefer battlelog

[broken glade]

for PC, battlelog all the way

[hushed pawn]

Eh, I liked battlelog. But I expect that's because I had BF3 on the Xbox 360. Had I played on the PC I'd probably have a very different opinion.

[south flicker]

Yeah I liked Blog

[random wind]

why has my battlelog not synced with bf1

[gleaming bloom]

I want a real UI in this new BF

[south flicker]

especially I love the Leaderboard system

[broken glade]

HEALTH. BAR.

[gleaming bloom]

everything about it felt gash

[broken glade]

minimap is really useful with elevation

[wary mason]

Yup

[random wind]

yes

[wary mason]

Minimap is awesome

Also 4man sq 👏

Finaly something again you can divide by 32

[gleaming bloom]

Wasn't it 5?

[broken glade]

is it 4 man or just down 1 player

[wary mason]

Seems like 4 to me

[south flicker]

well hopefully it's 4

[marsh frost]

I want old medic back, i wanna use Thompson with silencer and red dot and have medkit with needle

[broken glade]

hmm attachments will be interesting

[hushed pawn]

I just hope the M1 Garand is an all kit weapon. 😛

[marsh frost]

Or medic at least

[hushed pawn]

^

[broken glade]

someone on reddit identified the teaser guy's uniform as Fallschirmjager gear

[south flicker]

I hope standard issue rifles are all kit

[hushed pawn]

Foxer, that'd be ideal.

[south flicker]

one thing I wanted for BF1

but never happened

[rose basin]

i want really great maps

[broken glade]

so the guy is likely a german paratrooper, map might be crete

[marsh frost]

I never played assault in bf1 cause it was boring he has no medic like og times

[rose basin]

like bf3

[gleaming bloom]

Not like it matters because we all know everyone will be running round with the fastest SMG's known to man

[broken glade]

MP44 better be good

[hushed pawn]

I want the M1 Garand (which we'll certainly get) and Wake Island.

[marsh frost]

Garand Bazzar bruhhhh

[broken glade]

you cant have a ww2 BF without wake island

[hushed pawn]

No, no you can't.

[gleaming bloom]

Grand Baz was a classic 😛

[marsh frost]

Bf3 has the best map in bf historu

History*

[hushed pawn]

I'm honestly most curious as to what theaters it's gonna be.

With Wake Island we'll get the Pacific, which is great. I'd love to see an Africa campaign...

[broken glade]

return to karkand 👌🏼

[marsh frost]

Back to Karkand id pay $50

In bf5

[rose basin]

for me the bf1 maps were disappointing

[south flicker]

Western, Eastern, Pacific, Africa for sure

hoping for Finnish Winter war

[hushed pawn]

Ooooh, Finnish Winter war would be rad.

[broken glade]

my friends liked Sinai and Empires Edge in bf1, those were good maps

played those for hours

[marsh frost]

Maps are too big jn bf1 and too little players

I think bf1 maps need 100 v 100

[broken glade]

If you think bf1 maps are big you should try playing bf2 and 1942

[rose basin]

and operation metro

[hushed pawn]

@broken glade The difference being that 1942 and BF2 were a lot more vehicle focused.

BF1 is rather infantry focused.

At least in comparison.

[broken glade]

yeah I do wish there were slightly more vehicles

it could get quite quiet on the vehicle front

[marsh frost]

Hey at least bf2 has good map design

[hushed pawn]

I actually prefer a more infantry focused gameplay, but for that to really work well the maps need to be a little smaller.

[rose basin]

yep i agree

[broken glade]

grand vehicle battles should happen on big maps of course

[marsh frost]

Look at bf3 maps

So freaking balanced

[broken glade]

bf3 was a long time in the pipeline wasnt it, developed parallel to bad company

[hushed pawn]

@rose basin As for Metro...it's one of my favorite maps of all time. It's also one of the most badly designed maps I've ever seen. The base points were just horrendously placed. Get pushed all the way to your base on that map and the game is over 95% of the time.

[marsh frost]

I cant wait tomorrow for the reveal

Hopefully we get gameplay

[south flicker]

BF3 had some great infantry maps

[broken glade]

well, chances are high for some gameplay now, we've even seen the hud

[hushed pawn]

BF3 just had good maps all the way around, IMHO. I can't really think of any that I didn't like.

[broken glade]

@marsh frost

[marsh frost]

I agree fox and thats why i have 2000 hours in bf3

[hushed pawn]

I miss BF3.

[marsh frost]

And 200 in bf1

[broken glade]

theres already 400 people waiting for the stream to begin

[marsh frost]

Lol

[rose basin]

i played bf3 on ps3 but now im playing it on PC and its fucking awesome

btw i have 200 hours on bf1 too

[shut brook]

If only we can play it on Windows 10

[hushed pawn]

If it was at all populated, I'd probably grab a copy on PC.

Wait, BF3 doesn't run on Win 10?

[shut brook]

nope

[marsh frost]

I have windows 10

[rose basin]

im thinking buying the premium 🤔

[marsh frost]

Been playing it

[shut brook]

I saw a vid of the tank section and wanted to play, and it won't even boot single player

[wary mason]

Bf3 is still fairly populated on PC at least on EU

[shut brook]

really?

[broken glade]

bf3 works on win10 for me

[shut brook]

whaaaat?

[hushed pawn]

Yeah, I just looked it up. Runs on Win 10.

[rose basin]

yep

me too

[marsh frost]

Metro 24/7 servers

[shut brook]

so it must be me....

[hushed pawn]

@shut brook https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2955065244357031498/

[marsh frost]

Yeah try those

[shut brook]

oh my god it may be number 5.....

that folder must have been there since like... win 7

[marsh frost]

Lmao

[shut brook]

welp I guess I'll be downloading it again....

[broken glade]

yep its been patched

[shut brook]

ffs....

[wary mason]

[shut brook]

yeah at this point I'll take whatever Dice throws at me

I even have 75 horus in BFH

[wary mason]

I dont think i even have BFH

[shut brook]

it had..... interesting game modes?

[broken glade]

I played the trial and noped right out of BFH

[shut brook]

like the you have to drive vulnurable cars to get points mode

[wary mason]

i just kept playing bf3 👏

[rose basin]

me too

[hushed pawn]

I keep having to do mental gymnastics every time I see "BFH". I keep immediately going to Battlefield Heroes.

[shut brook]

I played BF religiously from 1942 to 2142, and had a leave until the ending few months of BF3, so I kinda regret not being able to play BF3 much

I think I bought BF3 around like.... Zeeba Tower was it?

[wary mason]

Close Quarters DLC

[shut brook]

so very late to the show

[wary mason]

It was the first DLC

[shut brook]

was it ?

[wary mason]

so not that late

[hushed pawn]

I played BF 1942 a ton. Preordered BF2...only to find out that it didn't run. I was an early adopter of widescreen monitors and BF2 didn't support widescreen. Sadly a lot of the early widescreens didn't support any 4:3 resolutions...so the game looked like shit. 😦 Didn't get to play BF2 until I think the final patch? At which point the community was pretty much gone.

[wary mason]

Yup

[shut brook]

I still adore 2142 and titan mode

[broken glade]

yeah 1.5 patch added widescreen

also, Project Reality was so good

[hushed pawn]

Never played 2142. Skipped it entirely. So yeah, played 1942 more hours than I dare actually admit to. Played probably less than fifty hours of BF2. Skipped 2142 and jumped in on Bad Company 1.

[shut brook]

I don;t think I played BC1....

that reminds me.....

I want Bot mode back in BF V

[hushed pawn]

It was...honestly it was okay. It had a really funky input layout compared to everything else.

Bad Company 1 got a resounding "meh" from me. Bad Company 2 however...one of the best games I've ever played.

[rose basin]

there was 5 DLCs in bf3 and bf4, right?

[wary mason]

They been working with AI in BF1 so i wouldnt be surpriced if some sort of bots made it into bfv

[broken glade]

theres a high likelihood bots will come back some game, dice ^ that

[wary mason]

https://youtu.be/ZZsSx6kAi6Y

Heres the vid

[shut brook]

because, playing skirmish without any threats can be just plain old dirty fun

[hushed pawn]

@wary mason My hope is that they use the bots to fill slots in multiplayer, so you always see 64 players. The AI, in their experiments, is learning how to play the game by watching actual players. So in theory it'll be as good as the average player. That'd be epic.

[south flicker]

playing skirmish with bots was the best in BF2

[hushed pawn]

(I want the server browser to show the actual number of players of course.)

[shut brook]

....I just want walking brainless strawman to shoot and and feel confident about my self after getting head shot 4 times in a row

[wary mason]

You just gotta belie e

[shut brook]

I know K/D isn't important in BF, but when you have a bad day and get like 3/21, you need something sweet

[wary mason]

[hushed pawn]

As someone who is currently scrub tier, I hear ya.

[shut brook]

on the point of bots, I'd reserve my opinion until I shoot and get shot by one

[zenith kelp]

my opinion is i dont want em

[shut brook]

Because.... the feeling of shame and dirty pleasure that you shot some one super cheesy with a model 1900 is just....

stronk

[broken glade]

kek those AI bots arent exactly fair

at 1:01 the bot waits for someone to walk out the door

[shut brook]

its hard to get them just right, because you can make super strong AI fairly easy

[strong prism]

Bots are bad for multiplayer, it ruins stats purpose

[zenith kelp]

^

[broken glade]

have bots as a server option

[rose basin]

i didnt notice https://twitter.com/beardyr0ry/status/998813460401188864

#Battlefield1 #Battlefield4 #BattlefieldV

Twitter

[shut brook]

but getting them to be bad enough for humans to play them

[broken glade]

also bot servers shouldnt affect skill rank

[wary mason]

Neat

[zenith kelp]

bots are overall al lose lose

no way

[strong prism]

And it is retarded, come on they are like hackers they have aim bot

[zenith kelp]

they technically do yes

frick em

[broken glade]

wait, they gave away all the DLCs for free? lol

[zenith kelp]

keep BF pure

no bots

only humans

human master race

[real siren]

Bots are fine.

[zenith kelp]

no

incorrect

[hushed pawn]

I'm down with bots, if it's done right.

[real siren]

They add to the battle. Like in the old Battlefront games.

[hushed pawn]

I think it'd make for a really compelling game.

[broken glade]

I dont want to be playing with bots pretending to be players

[shut brook]

well as long as I can have my local bot mode, I'm still fine

[rose basin]

the dlcs are not free on Origin :/

[hushed pawn]

FunFact216: Exactly.

[zenith kelp]

you people are lunatics

[real siren]

I DO NOT think they should count as a full kill.

[zenith kelp]

THEN WHY HAVE THEM

[real siren]

Because you can farm AI kills in Battlefront for example.

[zenith kelp]

omg

[strong prism]

• who wants to play against ai bots, every game that mixes players and bots to fill slots the second I see them I leave instantly cause it's not multiplayer pvp

[real siren]

But look at Titanfall, they were so much fun to rack up combos on.

[zenith kelp]

titanfall is not battlfield

[broken glade]

titanfall was a huge success 👀

[zenith kelp]

different games

[real siren]

That's not how bots work @strong prism ...

[zenith kelp]

agreed

but still different games

[real siren]

The substitute for a player or are added in to fill extra area that otherwise would not have been around.

[hushed pawn]

I think whether bots should count as full kills or not will depend entirely on how good the AI is.

[real siren]

But yeah they should be optional.

[broken glade]

I think they should tell you exactly which servers have bots, and how many

[zenith kelp]

and you would be okay being on a nice kill streak and then BAM and fucking bot runs up and kills you with a shotgun

NO

you would be pissed

and rightly so

[hushed pawn]

Why?

[zenith kelp]

im fine with humans killing me

fair enough

not bots

[hushed pawn]

Your ego that fragile? 😛

[strong prism]

Why would we need bots when the player base is huge though?

[broken glade]

bot intelligence is indeed quite variable

[zenith kelp]

answer the question

[rose basin]

ok in the name of tsar will be free in origin soon

final stand of bf4 too

[hushed pawn]

@strong prism They would only fill up unused player slots. IF the server is full, no bots.

[zenith kelp]

yes or no, would you be fine with bot ending your killstreak with a shotgun

[broken glade]

tbh bf1 is gonna die when this comes out, being kind of similar in period

[zenith kelp]

most sane people would say no

[hushed pawn]

@zenith kelp If the bot outplayed me? Yeah, I'm absolutely fine with that.

[zenith kelp]

ITS A COMPUTER

[hushed pawn]

So?

[zenith kelp]

THERE IS NO OUPLAYING

[shut brook]

and I can see BF4 still shining strong

[zenith kelp]

lol

my head

i need ot sleep

[strong prism]

At start of map at least 1 quarter of players leave

[hushed pawn]

Rumham, I think you have no idea how machine learning works. 😛

[zenith kelp]

oh i do

[shut brook]

I mean... its just different enough to coexist with BF1

[zenith kelp]

sir

[broken glade]

a quarter leave because they played the last round they could at that time, and it usually fills up in the next 5 mins

[zenith kelp]

@hushed pawn i still like your hat tho

lol

[hushed pawn]

That's because my hat is awesome. 😛

[zenith kelp]

this convo is all in good fun

👌🏻

[broken glade]

bf4 will continue to be populated, but it will lose some to ww2, because it's getting closer with assault rifles etc

[zenith kelp]

at the end of the day it comes down to opinion

[strong prism]

Yeah and I don't want silly bots to fill that quarter

[zenith kelp]

^

[hushed pawn]

I absolutely want bots to fill that quarter.

[zenith kelp]

frick bots

frick em i tell u

bah

[hushed pawn]

Especially towards late evening or early morning when all of the servers are only half full.

[broken glade]

what happens when a player wants to take a bot's slot? the bot just disappears into thin air?

[shut brook]

yes but the helicopters...

[zenith kelp]

very good point @broken glade

what if ur shooting one?

[hushed pawn]

@broken glade Yes.

[zenith kelp]

and pooof

u dont get the kill

[shut brook]

just have them wait until the bot dies

[hushed pawn]

It'd pick one that isn't currently engaged.

[shut brook]

or that

[zenith kelp]

what if there one left

[broken glade]

inb4 bot stuck in a corner and never dies

[zenith kelp]

and someone joins

[hushed pawn]

Either wait for it to die or is not engaged and boot the bot and give the slot to the player.

[shut brook]

or they have say, 40 slots, 32 are humans and you can swap out from the AIs 8?

[broken glade]

kek, what if youre running over to the bot to demand some ammo from it

and poof

[zenith kelp]

lmao

[hushed pawn]

What if you're running over to a player to demand some ammo from it and poof?

[zenith kelp]

then thats okay because its a HOOMAN

[broken glade]

very rare tbh

[zenith kelp]

^

[hushed pawn]

Yes, and?

[zenith kelp]

i cant control human behavior and neither can devs!

[broken glade]

i dont think ive ever encountered someone just dropping

[hushed pawn]

You're expecting it not to be rare with a bot.

When there's no reason it wouldn't be rare.

[zenith kelp]

all this is semantics

[broken glade]

if a quarter of slots in the first 5 mins are bots it would happen a lot tbh

[hushed pawn]

I think it'd happen a lot less often than you'd think, considering the massive number of casualties in the first 5 minutes of gameplay.

[zenith kelp]

in my opinion anyone who thinks there should be bots in a battlefield game needs to think it through

[hushed pawn]

Totally have. Been wanting it for years.

[zenith kelp]

im tired lol

[hushed pawn]

The tech hasn't been there, but it's something I've wanted for quite some time. 😃

[zenith kelp]

think. it. through

[hushed pawn]

I have?

[zenith kelp]

then all hope is lost with you my good friend taylor

[broken glade]

it would be like hoomans but worse

at least hoomans consciously decide not to hop in the jeep with you

[hushed pawn]

facepalms

[zenith kelp]

it boils down to very simple arguments, and too many arguments tonight have been pointlessly complex

anyways

[broken glade]

[hushed pawn]

We'll see what happens. The video they show is self learning AI. I expect they'll use player data to train them in the future, if this is where they are going. I hope it's what they do. In theory the AI would be pretty decent and would actually avoid the issue of the bots being "aim bots".

[zenith kelp]

bots work in titanfall. i dont think they will ever work in battlefield

but, thats just like, my opinion man

[hushed pawn]

Why? Worked in Battlefront which is essentially Battlefield in space.

[broken glade]

I think they work in titanfall because they are supplementary and not meant to replace players

[zenith kelp]

very simple

much different games

yes iv played both

[hushed pawn]

Very very similar games. 😛

[zenith kelp]

not at all

[hushed pawn]

Obviously I disagree with you.

[zenith kelp]

fair enough

apples and oranges

[hushed pawn]

I mean, your argument of "no they are not" is real compelling and all, but I'm afraid I remain unconvinced!

[zenith kelp]

its 1:34 in the morning lol

iv made some very good arguments a couple mins ago

im done now tho lol

[tall latch]

Hi there. Just giving my opinion on this. Bot technology today tend to rely in machine learning. machine learning technogy evolve really fast in the past few years (not more than 5y). So I would not be surprised if bots in battlefields will be really better than previous ones.

[zenith kelp]

thats liek saying mario kart and need for speed are simular just because they are racing games

[hushed pawn]

Rumham, you've still not actually given any reasons.

@tall latch Yeah, it's definitely possible.

[broken glade]

tbh a big reason for me is that I like having a person connected with a player in-game, and that I can communicate with them

[hushed pawn]

You mean like the way it is now, with very very few people using voice and even that is limited to your squad? 😃

[zenith kelp]

@tall latch yeah thats a fair point, i totally understand machine learning, its not lost on me i promise. but at the end of the day no one has control over what human players are doing on the battlefield, and i just dont like the idea of a bot having some advantage over me no matter how small

i cant seem to make the most coherent thoughts atm sorry

but thats kinda the unrefined gist of it

lol

[broken glade]

I find most people respond with text chat, but I agree with voice - I would like if there was a vicinity chat option

[zenith kelp]

its way more complicated tho

[pseudo spindle]

Plot twist, all of the bots start following the current meta and using the most OP weapon combinations

[zenith kelp]

^

scary stuff

what if

WHAT IF THEY SEE YOU THROUGH WALLS

[grand wasp]

just watch, everyone will be jebaited

[hushed pawn]

@zenith kelp It's worth noting that said bots, for all intents and purposes, would have learned to be good at the game exactly the same way you do.

[grand wasp]

next battlefield game will be CROSS-ERA

[broken glade]

hahaha, they just trawl reddit and see how many times weapons are mentioned, and use them exclusively

[zenith kelp]

@hushed pawn fair point

[hushed pawn]

Any edge they'd have over you is identical to any edge you'd have over a less skilled player.

[grand wasp]

they only showed ww2 to tip u guys offf

[zenith kelp]

@hushed pawn but how can i be 100% sure, theres still a developer behind it!

[grand wasp]

i thought i was the only one but i found someone who thinks the same

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIZBRWUvEOA

[zenith kelp]

i just dont know, no one would

[hushed pawn]

In other words, you're insecure. 😛

[broken glade]

cross era would be too much work

[grand wasp]

i can bet my left nut its gonna be cross-era

[zenith kelp]

@hushed pawn thats kindof an unfair argument but okay lol

[broken glade]

bookmark

[grand wasp]

"battlefield will never be teh same" <---biggest clue ever

[hushed pawn]

Maybe, but is it wrong?
