why would it be slow?
because you cant play aggressive
Bfv had it removed no?
People starting to actually behave like soldier?
It only restores a to a point
They don’t want you being aggressive but rather conservative
Lol yeah you don't want a game that's actual real life
No?
usually they will shoot you back
Try another play style then
do 70ish damage
Don’t always need to be aggressive
not everyone plays with squads
Go to the rear to the medic station
In fact. Regen slows down gameplay
its just a point farm for medics
Because you have to... regen
Just like real soldiers like you want!!
if you want to behave like a real soldier
take a bullet from a medic in bf1
Well shouldn’t medics gain more points for resupply my the soldiers with health
die
Removal of full regen is great
no it isnt
Yes it is
Shouldn’t more points be awarded for resupplying your teammates or capturing objectives in battlefield
you are literally forcing a good 1/5 of the games population to try a new playstyle
BLOPS4 is on sale
The just getting kills
What's wrong with trying a new play style?
Full Regen aggressive style
why should i be forced to try a new playstyle?
Because they want to change things up
what if all supports got snipers, all recons got ARs, all assaults got medic rifles, and all medics got lmgs
Why would I want a new game not to be identical to every other game???
how would you enjoy that
Maybe change the way battlefield is played
im not saying i want the game to be identical
I'd be fine with that
the game has changed alot
That's such a non argument
I mean you’d be here complaining battlefield v is the same as battlefield 1 if there wasn’t significant changes
During OB I had Sad guy in my Squad, all He did was laying down depressing fire 😔
So what is it you want
Bingo
but recons with AR, they play recon because they like taking their time (usually) and getting one shot kills
REEEEEEEEEskin
not playing close quarters with an AR
Well, then they can play support
They won't have to worry about running out of ammo then
What if everyone only had swords
but why should they have to change their gadgets that they enjoyed?
And nobody could die
Bfv already changed fundamentally by adding predictive recoil
How would you change the way battlefield v works is my question
Bc they're all robots
That would be amazing
In the matrix
i like how everything is
slow down the healing sure
but
dont get rid of the healing to max hp
They want the classes to function properly and to have more team play like battlefield v should have
that literally destroys my playstyle
Play bf4 or bf1 then
There's other games
You still heal to decent health like maybe to the 70-80 hp if I can remember correctly
No team play with squad
According to that logic we should all still be playing pong
the sad part is, is that you think battlefield is a realistic shooter! if it were, tanks could die to one shot, people would die in 1/3 of the time it will take in battlefield v

Pong doesn't have health then you sjw
Battlefield isn’t realistic at all
i dont play with squads, and i dont play with my team
But it's more realistic then say...cod
It might look realistic but that’s about it
Who said it was lol
i flank around, and get kills frmo behind them
Making a game more challenging has nothing to do with realism
Gay
i dont have a medic and support following me around
the game was challenging as it was
@solid hinge there’s the issue and that’s what you should change
and now the game is supporting campers
I'll do it for you bb. I'll be your shadow so you can have fun
Lol supporting campers
it is
It's not getting you to play passive
With limited ammo and health
It's getting you to play with strategy.
Actually with removal of doritos moving is super strong
you wont have limited ammo and health
because its the supports that will sit in a choke firing their weapon
Ok so do you want the same thing carried over from battlefield 1 to battlefield v
I would just hate that
It makes you move to get supplies or be a glass soldier with no bullets
camping it
nobody can push
if they get out they die
can maybe win one gunfight
then die to the rest of the team
Supports camped already. Who cares
@solid hinge so since you’re unhappy about it what do you want then
If their camping use grenades, flush them out
just keep the health how it is
He wants them to make the game just for him
Flank them
but you cant flankQ
Assult a different objective
you cant always do that^
Play world war 3
Ww3?
look, i love everything battlefield is doing
but the health didnt need to be touched
Ok adapt then
the way people play was fine
Change it up
but why should i have to change it up
Why not change it up
world war 3 has a long way to go
why force players to change?
Because dice changed the rules
Yeah
Spice things up
AHAHAHAHAH
SPICE IT UP
AHAHHAH
@solid hinge they don’t want the same crap in past battlefield games so they want players to play differently
last time i checked spicing it up didnt make me play passive
what crap?
They had to change things because BF1 had very poor player retention
I didn't play passive in the beta
i honestly never had a problem with someone rushing me in any game
if they kill me they did better than me
good for them
Sure not like I died to so much cheese in battlefield 1
and if they arent good at it, easy kills for you choke whores
Due to aggressive playstyle with my squad I ended up with 90% winrate
Like grenade spam and bad vehicle balancing
That’s why I dropped battlefield 1
grenade spam and vehicles were shit
And the SMG 08 🤢
but has anyone truly had a problem with the way health worked?
No but I don’t think it’s an issue that they’re changing it
No, but I don't have a problem with how it works in V
so why does it need change
it was perfectly fine
if it aint broke, it doesnt need to be fixed
The change involves medics more
Just like ammo change involves support more
they still do it
lol
Ok but this would get them to do it more
medics are being forced to play close quarters now aswell
Such as wanting support to finally drop ammo
And medics have the weapons to play close range
from a game where they were more likely would of sit further back with their semi automatics
They have smgs
It makes sense for a medic to play close
Team play is bad?
Medics having SMGs is just going back to the older games tbh
Go play 1v1 quake
I just won't be playing medic is what It means
but not everyone played the older games
bf 1942 medics with smg 🤣
alot of people got battlefield 1 after cod failed that year
and thats what got them into the series
thats how i got into battlefield
If you touched battlefield 4 you were essentially a medic with an assault rifle
when ghosts failed
I’m sure people familiar with the series would know that
but not everyone is
And people with medic bags played close in that game as should they in battlefield v
alot of people, have battlefield 1 as their first
Ok well learn it
in earlier battlefields health never recovered anyone remeber that
Good times
a game shouldnt force that onto people
Yeah exactly
Rainbow six siege is a good example of learn it
And I love that game purely for it
A pvp game should
dude if you can't adapt it means you don't enjoy the game just dont play it
not everybody loves it
If there's nothing to gitgud at why even play
In siege you either play tactically and not run and gun or you’ll struggle
there are still other things to git gud at
and do you know how hard it is to change a playstyle?
No it’s not hard at all
No it's easy
i tried for a long time in bf1 to play support and try to sit back, wait for people to attack my objective
I was an aggressive player when I played cod and when I picked up siege I was able to learn that game over time
but i just still ended up attacking them anyway
because its what i enjoy
and what i love doing
Change it
Take your ritalin then
No it’s not you’d be dead quick if you run and gun in siege unless no one calls it out
/r/whoosh
Honestly it’s not hard to change a play style
he was being sarcastic but ok
look
ill try
like i did with bf1
but not every can adapt easily
Bfv has plenty of room for very aggressive playstyles
🤣
Like I was able to play siege by learning team work and call outs and changing how I’d engage an enemy
No as plain ass soldier
I think I hit plat rank this season on siege
Same thing applies to battlefield v
There’s a lot
The quit button
you mean throwing controller at tv
I would say ash, jager, twitch, bandit
I would also say rook and doc and echo are good for holding down objective
@solid hinge I played mostly agressive sniper in the beta and it worked well
'sniper
'
Technically we’d be complaining about siege because that game does force you to play so different from a normal FPS game
No you still have to drone and make call outs
as a second look at it, with the faster ttk it might not be as bad as i thought
i was thinking of bf1 with that regen
If I ran in a room without knowing it was clear, I’d be dead
Sniper is much better without the sweet spot too
Forces you to double tap or headshot
if you get the jump on someone you can still kill them with them not even get a shot off
I would say the best operators in the game for siege is twitch and echo
There’s also zofia and maestro that I like too
There’s so many operators that are good and I can adapt play styles to
probably
Well he asked the question here so I replied here
still trainees
Quick post catpictures
I can’t even properly upload a picture here without it getting blocked
maybe on the battlefield v wiki
Nice
Where the m1 grand at
Where’s the BAR
Why are some of the weapons used again in battlefield v that were used in battlefield 1
Peepeepoopoo
Y'all still bitching lol
I’m not I’m only asking questions
Stupid questions
Ok then thanks
What class gets what weapon types 
I think they’ll try to go for similar class balance where each class has weapons designed for their roles
Probably unless they announce some sort of change
I’d imagine only snipers for recons since they don’t want recons running with smgs
recon with smg as side arm that's the dream
I totally forgot what the distribution was in beta
And lmgs only for support and assault rifles/dmrs only for assault class
I’d imagine that for the final release
What about ironsight bolt rifle
that's what i always have in single player a sinper and an smg 🤣
i would expect more ironsight with the time period
Let’s wait and see
Everyone gets bolt actions if a custom server allows it
^'
does anyone know how to get the lil bracco for automatico
The fuck is Lil bracco
il bracco or whatever gold skin for automatico
or lil bracco xanax esketit for automatilit
gucci automatico
Like if you're not gonna give two shits about putting effort in making yourself comprehensive then I won't give two shits about trying to understand the heck you're trying to say.
Are you joking or am i getting wooshed?
Nah. I just being a grammar nazi
oh
And I genuinely have zero idea what you're trying to say
Is that a reference to something?
to shit rap
To lil pump bitch
I don't listen to hipedy-hop
Are you aware of these days mumble rapping?
So I wouldn't know :/
No problem.
No. I try not to get ear cancer
I feel everyone I listen to that crap I lose a few IQ points
Lmao
You know those phones that they give to babies thay have pictures of animals on them, and when you press the button the phone makes animal noises?
Yeap
Like you press the button that has an image of a cow
Yeah
And the phone goes "The cow goes moo!"
The hell do you need a phone for that?
That's how mumble rap sounds to me
relitable
"The gun goes prrapapapah!!!"
Actually i dont know what we are talking about

"The car goes skreeeeek!"
Stroud mumble rap
You're definitely in the wrong channel
"The uzi goes BANG BANG BANG!"
i guess
Bah, back in my day we had oversized chunks of plastic with pull strings for entertaining kids, none of this fancy cyberwhatsitmajigs.
Get off my lawn!
But I want a clan that ain't someone to play with but oh well
does anyone remember battlefield friends
nope
got a good triple kill with the sword this morning.. not bad at 5:3am haha
find it in #streams-and-videos
Battlefield 4
what about it?
Is this like a special edition type thing
No, just a book full of concept art/exploration
Is that the regular one on Amazon or is that a new one
Ok
regular one
Says like 70 dollars in the actual book
27 days to Bee eff Vee 
Seems like the BFV one doesnt have any promotional dog tags or in game cosmetics
or at least doesnt say on the box
ask Dan maybe he can tell you if it has or not
Yeah battlefield v releases soon
Yep
What does that mean when you add those two

Yes
So it's gonna be half a year till they release firestorm :x
Indeed we can
i dont lol

Hype lads!
Honestly, I don't know why, but reading that alert made me very hungry.
But lunch is in, like, two hours.
BUT WHO CARES
LESS THAN A MONTH AND WE GET A PRACTICE RANGE!
😄

This is rad.

errr
A revamped Rush is one of them. Say goodbye to MCOM stations and hello to bombs as you take on this classic, only available during Lightning Strikes.
so.... rush will only be for a limited time?
bah
Oh, what?!
That's super lame...
But, hey! At least we get it!
And it's not gonna be a one-time thing, right?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
It'll probably make its way into a permanent mode
inb4 "Firestorm in March!?"
god dang i love the soundtrack for bfv
Honestly, the fact that we're getting what seems to be a lot of post-launch content is kind of worrying to me, but I have good faith in the team at DiCE.
I just hope it doesn't become a trend to leave so many pieces missing when shipping the game.
Firestorm not on launch reeee
I am too excited for this game
Yeah! We gotta stay optimistic!
Good to see a comrade here.

same 😃
As do we all.
get them V1's rolling in
Bzzzzzzz....
True
Hopefully Platoons will be carried over so we don't have to frantically join our respective sub-platoons.
it should follow over
By the time firestorm comes out I think it is no longer relevant at all
Platoons?
If anything more platoons could be created for play firestorm
not that i have any interest in doing so, but may give it a go
I'm sort of on the fence about the whole mode.
Battle Royale games are not at all appealing to me, but perhaps Battlefield can spin it to appeal to people such as us.
if they wont include poland in that game, it will have nothing to do with ww2
...
depends if they are putting it in that war story
oh sweet, we get a practice range in bfv 
well guess what where war started
i could go on...
and then theres no swastikas so ye
germans = nazi and no one is going to change that
probably for good reasons
then you don't need the swastika if you know they are german 
some people dont know
I personally don't agree with the censorship, but you do have to keep in mind that DiCE is a Swedish game company.
I don't agree with it either tbh
Censorship laws are pretty imposed there, if I'm not mistaken.
and other thing is that a lot of people thing that nazis were diffrent, faction? country?
nazi is nazi..
nazi = german
I don't think a single Battlefield game has had a Swastika, and trying now would be met with major backlash, sadly.
nazi nazi as in a nazi about nazis as in like a grammar nazi but about nazis
Keep on track about the game, thanks
Although some of us here do with for details such as that, it's just impossible as of now due to sensitivity.
Ah, right.
we are keeping just talking about facts
Apologies.
what we would like to see in game lol
Thank goodness for the training map because I need to learn how to fly. I need that Stuka bby
yeah you know lol
The Stuka, dear gods.
Honestly, I wish it was a bit easier to hear in the Beta, but it's still terrifying.
not the greatest machine but worked well
I love how it screams before your inevitable death
it's horrible lol
I would like to see the grease gun, grease gun is my favorite ww2 gun, and was my favorite day of defeat gun 
It would be nice to see some unusual weapons.
i prefer the springfield.. not sure if that's ww2
It tis
Springfield was used up until the Vietnam War, I believe.
And was provided in place of the Garand rifle, due to low production numbers at the time.
I want the B-17 Superfortress
It would be amazing
What if it had animations like the Ilya Muromets heavy bomber in BF1?
Like, transitioning places had this animation where you'd physically move around.
AMAZING
From turret to turret.
You genius
THIS BETTER BE IN THERE!!!!
YES
And in the Dev Talk, when they showed off some gunplay, I noticed they changed the P38 reload slightly.
Honestly, a major improvement. Doesn't seem as stiff as before.
Does anyone else think the sidearm reloads in the beta seemed a bit odd?
Which dev talk?
I forget which one specifically, but they showed off the MG-42 and the Krag.
Only 1 map per chapter?
It's all good man
Oof
Make more detailed maps
They better be large maps
So they can balance it better, and make it gorgeous
I don't know if I'm mistaken, but isn't Battlefield V going to have the largest multiplayer map in Battlefield history?
Hopefully it's not only in Firestorm.
I'd like to actually play it more than once or twice.

I think I'll definitely give Firestorm a try. Even though I despise the BR genre, I love Dice
Wait firestorm isnt coming on release ??
but their instagram said it will come on release
what gamemmodes will BFV have at launch?
2 days ago
firestorm was never planned to be released at launch
they always stated it was post launch content
My big question is are locations 2 map or 1 map
We don't know yet, but I have high hopes.
They absolutely cannot fuck this up as bad as 4 was at launch.
We need to ask about clarification on map number per location for the amaa
They took extra time so I'm really really hoping it will have a good launch
AMAA was cancelled
Damn.
Sooo, good morning all.
Good morning
Uh, two maps in six months?
Good morning, friend.
Not what I wanted to wake up to.
Maps do take time
How do you know it's 2 maps
I don't disagree with you.
Dev talk is cancelled not amaa?
People are starting to take that position on Reddit, too, and I don't really get it. Are you suggesting that they're going to overdeliver?
What do you mean?
Two maps isn't alot especially in the space of six months, but the roadmap was pretty vague, there's a new grand operations and afaik they usually incorporate two maps into their gamemode
Well it's really 3 maps bc of the training mode
That does not confirm only 2 maps
If they have more maps, why wouldn't they be on the roadmap? I don't get it.
2 Maps are needed for Grand ops to make sense
They're trying to sell the live service as a model right now.
Fall of Europe will be first.. that will be multiple maps...
There will definitely be paratroopers on crete
The Belgium map is purely tanks and armor
Oh, now the chat is getting fast.
I think
Panzerstorm is basically tank superiority although it may have some infantry fights in between
yeah
I think that's a stretch. They have every reason to hype people up right now. If the GO included more maps, I have no doubt that roadmap would say "Three New Maps".
They have a lot of stuff on their plate in this roadmap
Also, where did you see amaa cancelled?
Yeah it seems like The new location Greece is there to basically say "our next new maps for this period will take place in Greece"
Their tweet I think
Although I'm disappointed they haven't announced any factions in between
Do you have a link?
it will be Crete.. that was the final point for Germany
Greece map: Join a massive aerial invasion along the Cretan coast. The Allied side is desperate to cling to the island under attack by the Axis, attempting to break through the British defenses air superiority and paratroops. This map brings all-out war defined by a power struggle between tank control versus air superiority.
but they could do Athens also
Probably just new costumes with greece
didn't think britain had defense lines there?
So you larp as a Greek troop or maybe even partisans
partisans were the ones
That's unfortunate
Maybe Italian for Axis
I seriously hope two maps isn't their actual plan from the span of December to March
That's what concerns me
A map a quarter basically spreads out a single Premium expansion across a whole year.
Also combine arms in march...why
That's not a good look.
How many maps and characters were added in the first 3 month of Overwatch
Was it just one?
Think about bf1
That's a stretch.
Eh, takes Dev time all the same
yeah
They said they are partnering up
They may have some shared resources, but that's a separate studio.
I wouldn't be surprised if dice also need some input
i don't think people really know the amount of work that goes into game making
All we can do is wait
I'm not trying to be negative because I want this to be great.
But it threw me for a loop./
Just have some faith
exactly, @hoary condor
Also, wouldn't it be 2 maps a quarter?
I'm assuming that the initial map is basically a release quality map right now.
and is an anomaly.
I guess we won't know until next year
January-March sounds kinda odd, there's a grand operations mode in that time there but on what map?
It says mission not mode. Which throws me off
But all in all, January-March seems a bit too lackluster, there's combined arms and Rush returning which is neat but no maps or announcement of new factions or locations? Wack
it's still some time away...
Looks like the amount of maps released will be about the same as BF1, I hope
someone posted on reddit:
They shall not pass: 2 maps, 5 months after release
Tsar: 6 months after 1st expansion: 6 maps.
Tides: 2 maps, 2 months after Tsar
Apocalypse: 5 maps, 2 months after tides.
I'm gonna assume the weapons are going to be dripfed every month, like the Chauchat, the lebel, what looks to be the flamethrower in the SP, the Delisle and the weapons spotted in gameplay trailers
whatever happens...it's going to be epic
yes
https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/448761-battlefield-5-designer-banned-from-playing-black-ops-4
😂
lmao
Drunkz3 is awesome 
lol that doesnt even look legit
He used to play for fnatic
hacks ftw
I'll bet my left kidney that he's playing fair 👀 and the ban in unjustified
Also, if he was using aim hack, it would be obvious in his gameplay clip
i mean it looks obvious in a lot of shots to me
Have you seen how aim bot looks?
so if he can twitch headshot that good on some of the shots i saw then he's got a savant "opportunity" brain issue 😄
It's sticky around targets
there are some stupid smart ones that twitch to a near target
half the shots didnt even start off near anyone..
i never blame anyone for hacking but if that's 100% legit someone needs to take his brain out and study it
and implement that AI into US army
PRACTICE RANGE
YEEEEEEES
I hope it allows for multiplayer 🤔
say what now
though it hasnt ever before
During this period, we’ll add the initial iteration of Practice Range to Battlefield V. A seat of learning or just messing around, this area will contain trials to work on your shooting, driving, and flying. Based on the Hamada map, this is an environment that can’t kill you – until someone finds the Friendly Fire button, that is.
practice range^
I'm whelmed by the road map
Ultimately fun gameplay and progression will make people stay
slow and steady progression is probably better than batches for people's interest
but that also is the case when the game has a dedicated base
The kind of base that whines about all the little changes but play it anyways
is that stupid sniper rifle he's using a 1 shot body kill?
They mention friendly fire in the practice range so maybe it will be multiplayer!
thats the dumb game's fault for allowing this behavior then, yea screw CS style sniping lol
what's wrong with cs's AWP
ya
my CS days are over lol, im 37.. tactical games > twitch
i used to be that guy but then you adapt to your changing and deteriorating brain and use your strengths which is kids trying to jump 1 shot and you know the maps better
unless i get kids and aren't able to play a few hours a week, don't see why i'd lose my skill
thats true, if you can maintain that play time you'll be fine
guys wats the evolution to rhyhorn help fast
LE or LEM
LE probably
because i can still twitch and am good at rocket league but without the play time you cant reach that next level.. and wife + kiddo = 80% less time 😄
btw, i don't even have to play cs, i can play battlefield and still keep up with the twitch aim.
especially with BFV around the corner
i did post a nice little clip to #streams-and-videos from bf3
nice Hess
i still play that game 👏
i don't see why the game mode would matter
battlefield is just bigger, requires thinking a few steps ahead maybe
nice man!
even though cs requires 400iq sometimes
because theres many more opportunities in small city maps to play "CS" style
twitch ADHD BLAP BLAP
lol
tbh, the map is bad if you can't get close to your enemies relatively unseen
in BLOPS there's no objective to maps, there's literally like 3 paths to get from your base to the enemy
you can train your brain to memorize the maps and know where anyone will be any time you turn any corner
like literally.. you are alreayd aiming in 1 exact spot when you turn a corner
no one? ok, next "location"
cs is mostly angles
but battlefield is too in a way
i clear entire squads because i hold an angle
sure, when a tank comes along i have to adapt but that doesn't always happen
yep, BF is knowing your current situation at least and where enemies have pressed to. Holding 1 spot is different every time you spawn.
train/ship aren't as bad
you dont just go right back to an exact spot in BF every death.. at least.. i sure as fk hope not 😄
no no, you are right
and i'm not talkinjg about holding that one specific angle like in cs or siege or whatever
but yea at least there's tactics involved and instantly assessing ok i can hold up here and take this angle to pop people off
but the principle of holding angles still works well in bf
I'm surprised they're leaving Firestorm so late
they better release it when it's done
also personally i dont mind it, forces players to play normal games before jumping on br
airship does suck but it's quite easy to get out the sky tbh
which hopefully wont kill the default game
BR might be dead or not as popular by then though lol
But I'm still willing to give it a shot
dreadnought is simple to take out because you get defensive weapons
if the dreadnought pilots are bad yes
they're bringing back Rush? i thought the 2 new modes were supposed to replace it
i take out AA asap if i get on a gun
I think the road map is pretty impressive
dreadnought is the boat lol
ain't no pilots in that
Gatling gun i used as soon as enemy planes are in the air
dreadnoughts are pretty helpless against a ptboat on its ass
grand ops wont be avail on launch?
And I think people can just spam burtons against the airship now right
even get the bombers go overhead and knock it out
airship the ones i play against they are useless... lol
i don't even bother taking it out... i'm sure the pilots and gunners shoot themselves out haha
i love how people are bitching about only getting 4 months worth of roadmap
i rarely play beyond 4 mo, so game is laid out 😄
Wasn't expecting a whole games worth of content
yea i mean i look at this and im like, damn i hope you can achieve all this
so how can you be underwhelmed
Expected people to complain about the content laid out in a roadmap
and i wouldnt even press them if anything got delayed
Tho the Firestorm is disappointing to hear
very aggressive
not that I would play it much, but its something people were curious about and it is on the tail end of postlaunch content
oh meh, forgot about that mode.. good.. honestly, it will give blops4 time to die down
smart choice not to overlap
no one competitive in blackout is going to abandon to play V's BR mode
So much content delayed though to tides of war
we will have legit BF players on launch, that's good news ;D
i mean.. define "delayed" , did they promise something by release?
today's world of game releases with free DLC is insanely confusing and seems to aggravate players
It’s just disappointing to read that things like combined arms battle royale, and the last tiger got pushed back
In fairness, Battle Royale was always post-release.
yea i think pushed back is ambiguous
the devs have a base game to get out as soon as possible, they could sit on this 1 more year but no one wants that
That being said, there are things that were delayed after being positioned for launch.
and release everything at once
Dragging downed players, crash landings, Combined arms, etc.
im happy with free DLC at all
I mean if it’s not ready fair enough but it’s just surprising a lot of base game content you’d expect to be in the launch isn’t coming
So it's a mixed bag.
BR is like a whole new game in itself in their engine
Like 2 maps until March
I'd honestly rather have a Premium pass if it's going to be four to five maps a year for the live service.
i guess you "could" and just spawn buildings in with loot
they wouldnt work any faster with or without a premium pass i doubt
probably more like 8ish an year
i like the lack of paid DLC because now the community wont be segregated by content
ive barked up that tree for like a decade
Battlefront 2 is easy to get a game in
I agree that the live service fixes fracturing.
Where basically the only way to play is to either get everything at launch or wait years before they give it out for free
It's less content tho
^
1 map a month to me seems more than fair.. lot of work and testing goes into that
I don't mind less content. Not excusing it, just peronsally
I don't get to play any of that content in BF4 anyways
i prefer less opening content and a slow trickle
I mean this sounds like the game should be delayed to March because lots of things aren’t coming
yea i mean.. if they released all the BF1 content on release it would just be flat overwhelming
But I do see they have to get it out sooner or later
yea game dev sucks, corners are ALWAYS cut.. deadlines missed, features canned entirely
i hate it 😛
I have mixed opinions on premium
On the one hand I dislike the idea that once a game has reached past its content period, there will be less people in dlc servers due to new players not feeling inclined to purchase season passes for a game past its due point
On the other hand there was a guarantee of lots of content for these premium passes, although in Bf1's issue it was the case of how long it took for dlc to arrive as well as certain factions being locked behind pay walls
and having to tell design we cant do this and that by X cause this other feature took 2 months longer than expected
but.. there's still a target release date that has to be hit
cant keep paying everyone's salaries forever and have the game pay for itself
If we assume one map a quarter, Battlefield V underperforms BF4 and BF1 over a two-year life cycle in terms of content.
i know they're rich as a company but every title has a budget and list of salaries annually
the title itself has to succeed
The french operations were shit for balance, paid premium doesnt guarantee any sort of quality improvement over a free model IMO
why does a game need so many maps? 12 seems like a high number
i need time to memorize them 😄
For two years of play?
how many do we get at release?
Eight.
8 maps at release and 2 over the period of a few months after release
I mean they better not get lazy with delivering content since they cut premium
But that's the other side of the argument, isn't it?
Premium locks in the content.
The plug can be pulled here at any time if revenue streams don't perform.
Yeah
but premium also is a roadblock for ppl like me
I just didn't bother playing after 1-2 of the expansions were out
Didn't want to pay for em
I can't jump back into it without feeling gimped
Not because I can't play content, but because there is a smaller pool
Yeah, its just funny how much ppl hated the system on its onset
Premium
heck even map pack system from old CoD
Blops in PC was nigh unplayable unless you were fine with 24/7 Nuketown
For my part, I never thought that the Premium model was unfair. I got an insane amount of value out of it.
and that one server with a 3 map loop
So what do you guys think of the tides of war road map and the content not coming to launch
i just want to shoot people in whatever content releases 😄
Firestorm sucks for optics, but I don't mind waiting a month to try new stuff
and start unlockin shit!
the only thing i care about is if the progression system is severely delayed like all other games
@solid hinge I'm not thrilled about the time frame. I'm hoping we get some information about the delayed gameplay mechanics, too.
BF4 released with full itemization unlocks at release but BF1 didnt add these combay specializations til.. when?
Wait, so will the Firing Range (or whatever it's being called now) be able to played on with multiple people?
bf5 released yet? 
is it reallllly delayed 😄
Ok but what’s coming to launch then
Ok
4 grand ops
Ok
I think I saw one comment saying tides of war sounds like a cover up saying the game isn’t finished and this is being delivered as free content
bf4 wasn't finished, they sold the unfinished parts as dlc
I don’t think it’s that but it is interesting lots of things have been delayed months after release
bf1 wasn't finished, they sold the unfinished parts as dlc
I think people expect the war stories to be finished and the battle royale to at least come
I also think the co op mode was expected from people to be in release
It does suck to see them saying stuff is there as if its all launch content
but tbh I feel like all of this stuff is irrelevant in the long term if the plan is to make a game with consistent playbase
instant gratification is bad
I remember the Chaos Warriors debacle in Total War Warhammer
I don't even know if the playerbase is going to be stable at launch, to be honest.
There's zero buzz for this game.
unreal tournament were the days
Then you shed your initial hype wave off a month or two after release, and you've got the core fans left.
Where is the enthusiasm right now
lel
it's battlefield after all
battlefield is life
only in my group of friends there are at least 20 people buying it
I don’t think it’s dead on arrival but I don’t know about how long it will last
The hype going in for this game is really low
beta feels great, so i don't see why people wont stick
I am concerned about the EAs release structure
i'm sure EA wants one of their very successful IPs to die
Release waves of content and then release next installment within 2 years and drop all support
battlefield wont fail, EA wont fail battlefield
they haven't and won't
I mean if I’m being honest the tides of war service sounds like a cover up for them not having the game actually ready
With more and more multiplayer games designed for long term retention
Even vehicle customization is delayed strangely
I dunno if EA can do that well
what are you talking about
...a cover up?
the game is as complete as any other BF's first release
this time around they aren't selling extra content, they trying to give it away for the base price
...
"but BF4 had 6000 guns"
they were all identical
Tides of war: content that should be expected to come at launch
not really?
@solid hinge you mean decals and stuff.
I think it's fine that they want to release map content through a live service.
we're you expecting dice to release final stand for BF4 at launch or some shit?
@brittle imp yeah I wonder why that’s not here
But there's a lot of features that slipped into ToW too
@rough smelt no not saying that but like not finishing all the war stories isn’t something I was expecting
@solid hinge I dont care.
1
I will enjoy it
i think there's 2 types of people, those like me just happy to have another game to play in whatever capacity and those that wont ever be satisfied no matter what ;D
1 of them
No BR till March. Rip
I mean
@pure veldt I agree
if you like what you played you can swallow less content on launch
imagine a weird world where they got all of this next 3 mo content into release but had a new roadmap showing what is coming
but if you need some more convincing
you would still be having this exact discussion
tbh, releasing all content is probably bad for it's longevity
this isn't gonna look good
The optics on this are not great, I agree.
having all content from day 1 isn't bad... but ppl have been groomed to want more more more
Anyone thing this roadmap is disappointing
no
what you need to do is keep ppl busy
You could have 2 maps at launch and keep adding little things for people to do
2 maps in 4 months time too
I was expecting more scenarios
What do you mean?
World of Tanks takes you around 1-2 years to unlock a t10 tank with normal playing
haha there you go, content through brutal treadmill 😄
Its all meaingless grind but its something to strive for
WOT is probably on the other side of the extremes
