@leaden glen wouldn't mind that

errant root
#

There was like one weapon used, the FN FAL

#

By both sides

solid hinge
#

Yeah

jovial forge
#

I don't mind the era, just don't pull a bait n switch like BFV

solid hinge
#

Only the UK used it

#

I believe

errant root
#

Argentina used it too

leaden glen
#

The Gulf War could be interesting, next year is it's the 30th Anniversary.

errant root
#

It was 100 hours long, lol

#

I AM THE VICTIM OF VOODOO!!!

errant root
#

the ground war at least

"💬 Discussion preferably about Battlefield titles! Please remember to read the pins for useful information." KEKW

#

Just give us Bad Company 3

leaden glen
#

@errant root THE last war to feature battleships (The US' WWII-vintage Iowa class).

solid hinge
#

Ive always wanted a mode where the US navy and air force had to defend its self from incoming Japanese kamikaze pilots

twilit moon
#

a cold war theme is not that bad afterall, but not sure about it's 'content' capabilities

#

@leaden glen Just saw it, much appreciated.

#

C-130 Hercules. Imagine.

next herald
#

Cold War Alternatibe History

#

They could always go that route

#

They could start a new “lore” road.

echo turtle
#

Battlefield has lore?

twilit moon
#

The Battlefield lore is in each player heart and mind.

dense bone
#

@echo turtle i shot a guy or 2, got ran over by a tank, shot another guy

#

yea

jovial forge
#

Technically there is little lore but can be easily dimissed when it comes to BF3's main character Blackburn and BF1's Blackburn

#

Bad company has its own story

#

BF4 was an extension of the conflict from BF3

fossil heron
#

I dont think people play BF for the lore

jovial forge
#

Multiplayer is BF's niche meat and potatoes

twilit moon
#

Eitherway, there it is tho. the lore

solid hinge
#

Do you guys think dice will update bf4 or bf1 in the meantime?

fossil heron
#

No

errant root
#

DICE should allow open mod support and private server hosting

fossil heron
#

They'll keep up with community games on 1

errant root
#

You know, like CS:GO

fossil heron
#

Frostbite is not fun to mod

uneven hollow
#

Tbh bfv should have mods

errant root
#

Well it's a huge POS, I know

uneven hollow
#

Like let us mod your bfv

errant root
#

But put out a dev kit for mod support

uneven hollow
#

If you won’t support bfv then the modders will have fun

errant root
#

Look at what mods have done for Skyrim

uneven hollow
errant root
#

Make that shit look like Crysis

#

And run better in the process

uneven hollow
#

We can literary have modded Russians and modded Italians

solid hinge
#

Watch in like the next day dice says they didOMEGALUL

uneven hollow
#

Tbh modding could benefit bfv

orchid shore
#

agreed actually

solid hinge
#

Mods may make the game glicth and create more bugs doe

orchid shore
#

but seeing how the game is filled with MTX

#

who knows

uneven hollow
#

True but look at fallout mods

#

Could still work

solid hinge
#

I don't look at fallout mods

uneven hollow
#

Most of it just crashes the game but still playable if done right

fossil heron
#

Fallout =/=battlefield

uneven hollow
#

Fallout 76 =/= battlefield 5

#

They both need mods

fossil heron
#

Nah

#

Dont break the game anymore

#

BF3 has some milsim mods

gray glade
#

watching jackfrags play bf4 again does make me want to reinstall the game again

#

it still looks so good

sly stratus
#

Bf4 is great

#

I still play it everyday

rigid bramble
#

Played some last night, still the same.

#

Some things never change.

sly stratus
#

Lots of dlc servers are up too since the pandemic

rigid bramble
#

Like BFV (ashes cigarette)

sly stratus
#

Its really fun

rigid bramble
#

Crazy how they could redeem that game and not BFV.

#

And the fact people still play like they do is a testament to all they put into it.

jovial forge
#

BF4 started clunky but got better over time

uneven hollow
#

They probably ran out of ideas for maps and Characters and vehicles models

rigid bramble
#

Saying it started out "clunky" is being generous.

dense bone
#

@jovial forge bf4 started off not working

#

bf4 is the lowest low but highest high

#

talk shit about bfv all you want, but bf4 not working for 6 months is ridiculous

rigid bramble
#

Almost like they shouldn't rush games as big as Battlefield 🤷‍♂️

jovial forge
#

I was on PSN and the only real problem I came across was zombie soldiers and rubberband.

#

But yes, stop rushing the game

uneven hollow
#

True

rigid bramble
#

Like, I do believe if they had delayed BFV to March it would've at least done marginally better.

#

When it did drop the biggest complaints I heard was how lackluster it was in terms of content and technically speaking too.

jovial forge
#

thats the pitfall of live service

#

They drip feed content

rigid bramble
#

Yeah.

#

But then again, all BFV accomplished is make people yearn for Premium.

uneven hollow
#

Remember that time when they bullied the original design of sonic and they changed it

solid hinge
#

It would justve had more stuff. The game was rigged from the start.

jovial forge
#

Sonic is its own legend for that move

rigid bramble
#

Yeah. The director took the hit for it, they went back to the lab and changed it.

jovial forge
#

That first design was garbage

rigid bramble
#

Thing is though, the studio behind the redesign folded.

uneven hollow
#

Imagine if bfv had that same energy

rigid bramble
#

Crunch like that is insane and has its costs.

uneven hollow
jovial forge
#

That would of been an amazing turn around of BFV pulled it off

#

I still say that one of the biggest mistakes was how the presented BFV initially.

rigid bramble
#

The effort was there. They just couldn't stay out of their own way and commit on an angle with the game.

jovial forge
#

^

gilded spear
#

i think what makes bfv content to be rather bare is that they had so many stuff that no one plays

#

like, combined arms and that battle royale mode

rigid bramble
#

I mean, when the Pacific Update dropped it seemed that they'd finally gotten their ducks in a row? And then they decided they wanted to have another go at the TTK, for the secodn time.

gilded spear
#

yeah

warped patrol
#

hey

jovial forge
#

Yes. the modes introduced in BFV was lackluster. BR no one wanted, CO-OP that was barebones and mode rotation that took away good modes

rigid bramble
#

And that stinks. Because the Pacific Update looked some pretty baller was apparently headed by some of the old guard producers at DICE & it showed.

jovial forge
#

Pacific update was cool til the TTK update happened

rigid bramble
#

And that trailer. MPHH. The trailer though!

jovial forge
#

That ttk update killed the hype swiftly

rigid bramble
#

The Pacific Update Trailer is the sort of thing I expect of EA/DICE's marketing teams.

jovial forge
#

Pacific trailer should of been what DICE should of shown off at worldwide reveal

rigid bramble
#

Not some lame breakdown of content. Leave that to the YouTubers.

dense bone
#

i loved firestorm duo though

jovial forge
#

Relying on youtubers is not something you want to do

#

due to their flimsy nature

night glade
#

should have, not should of

jovial forge
#

One second their praising the game, next moment their bashing it

rigid bramble
#

Not saying they should rely on them though.

#

Just leave that sort of content to your community creators and give them a pat on the back while you're at it.

dapper bronze
#

When people just sit light tanks on objectives

rigid bramble
#

It's old hat at that this point but it's like that way for a reason.

dapper bronze
#

Like bruh even my antitank rifle can kill em

rigid bramble
#

@jovial forge But I remember the original reveal controversy kicked off, I had read something about how the original BFV reveal was going be some D-Day shit narrated by like Tom Hardy until the producers steered the marketing team in the direction of the reveal we got.

dapper bronze
#

The D-Day trailer probably would have helped the game do so much better

rigid bramble
#

I've lost the source but I remember reading it and thinking how much cooler that'd be especially off the heels of Dunkirk.

jovial forge
#

Thats what I heard to. That moron screwed the game over before it even launched

dapper bronze
#

It would just be a nice, solid, classic WW2 game trailer

jovial forge
#

Main goal of a reveal to a popular game is to collect an audience to want to play it

rigid bramble
#

Emphasis on WW2 game trailer.

dapper bronze
#

Which would have meant a lot more pre-orders, which means more success, which means BF5 actually getting good updates, which means a good game that doesn't end live support after 2 years

#

So basically, the fed up trailer fed the game

jovial forge
#

It was one of the main factors

rigid bramble
#

Which is crazy considering the pedigree of the EA/DICE marketing team.

jovial forge
#

Bad marketing kills products

dapper bronze
#

What did go wrong with the marketing team tho

rigid bramble
#

Just go back to BF4: BF4 had some great trailers that really mailed home that game.

dapper bronze
#

Like how did any of them look at their trailer and think "This is it"

rigid bramble
#

The higher ups apparently pulled rank on them to meet 'their vision' @dapper bronze

dapper bronze
#

It's literally the most pc, inaccurate, cartoonish trailer imaginable

#

Still

#

You'd think game designers would know by now that pandering to political correctness doesn't go well for sales

jovial forge
#

Marketing team probably got high and spooked by weirdos who wouldn't play the game. Probably a 12yr old daughter had a hand in it LUL

rigid bramble
#

Honestly, I might catch flack for this? But had the trailer been in the modern day, right? I don't think it would've gone over that bad. The trailer itself works... It was the fact it was a WW2 game that threw so many people for a loop.

jovial forge
#

You aren't wrong

dapper bronze
#

It was still very cartoonish and made no sense

rigid bramble
#

Which can work for Battlefield.

jovial forge
#

there was no flow

dapper bronze
#

It'd be like having COD modern warfare with clown outfits

rigid bramble
#

This isn't ARMA, Battlefield is at its best when it focuses on those "Only in Battlefield Moments."

dapper bronze
#

And don't forget them swapping teams and doing completely random stuff through the trailer

rigid bramble
#

Look back to the BF1 Reveal.

jovial forge
#

The pitch of BFV was WWII starting with unknown stuff.

No one expecting what we got starting off

rigid bramble
#

For what was shown, it felt like BF in WW1.

dapper bronze
#

Bf1 trailer was insanely good

#

And then there was bf5

jovial forge
#

BF1 trailer was proper marketing

rigid bramble
#

And done by the same guy who did BFV's reveal apparently.

wheat frigate
#

How can i report cheaters on console??

jovial forge
#

I still think at times it was people higher up then DICE that were meddling in BFV's design

dapper bronze
#

If they'd just remade the Bf1 trailer with bf5 cosmetics it would have done way better

jovial forge
#

Executive meddling is a killer of products

rigid bramble
#

If I recall correctly, you have to report them through their profile @wheat frigate

dapper bronze
#

Like a row of tanks driving through artillery

#

Followed by shots of urban fighting on rotterdam

#

Then a pov of a plane dive bombing an objective

wheat frigate
#

On PS4 there is not that option. I remember on Bad company 2 but no here

dapper bronze
#

All the stuff they had in the Bf1 trailer

rigid bramble
#

Even with that all being said, at the end of the day BF1 was still showcasing the better game.

jovial forge
#

Less michael bay explosion spam would be a start for a BF trailer

dapper bronze
#

Even so anything is better than following a collection of cartoon soldiers through a mishmash of a battlefield

jovial forge
#

Just look back at reveals of previous BF titles. They had explosions n such but it was over bearing

dapper bronze
#

Also, the bf5 trailer was way too small

#

It was focused on individual soldiers

jovial forge
#

BC2 took the cake for its time having multiple trailer bits with humour

dapper bronze
#

Rather than the actual Battlefield

rigid bramble
#

The trailer itself is also pretty hard to follow the temporal and geographical logic of. Like, I had to watch a few good tiems to wrap my ahead around what I was even seeing.

dapper bronze
#

The best bits of the Bf1 trailer were the vehicles and infantry charging together

uneven hollow
#

Imagine making a normal ww2 game
Dice:

dapper bronze
#

And the shots of the terrain

uneven hollow
wooden hedge
#

Bf1 was better than bfv

jovial forge
#

@uneven hollow LUL

uneven hollow
#

Imagine making your own ww2 game
Dice;

split plank
#

The problem with the BFV reveal trailer was that they tried doing something different without letting the community know

dapper bronze
#

And also it was shite

split plank
#

True it showed many wrong things

#

At the wrong time

jovial forge
#

day 1 twitch stream was absolute cancer

rigid bramble
#

Oh no, they tried to let you know.

#

They just did a terrible job at actually letting you know.

dapper bronze
#

Aren't they supposed to idk

uneven hollow
#

Tbh the trailer was weird like why where they in a game mode

dapper bronze
#

Get beta testers

#

And pilot audiences

#

To see if their game is shite before they release it

uneven hollow
#

Shouldn’t it be a video trailer an not a in game trailer

jovial forge
#

@uneven hollow Thats not the first time thats happened. BC2 had trailers like that where it turns out the characters are in a match

near kelp
#

Are we roasting the bfv reveal?

split plank
#

Yes

dapper bronze
#

It roasted itself

uneven hollow
dapper bronze
#

We're just putting fuel on the fire

near kelp
#

Cant fight that

jovial forge
#

we're pouring fuel and throwing tnt at it

uneven hollow
#

But BC2 did it right tho right or did it fail???

near kelp
#

We have a list of all the trash that happened?

jovial forge
#

@uneven hollow BC2 did it right

astral skiff
#

After I hit tier 40 in chapter rewards then the game will be dead for me. The music will live on.

rigid bramble
#

Bad Company 'did it right' because they made their intentions with it clearly evident.

errant root
#

BC2

#

BC2 nailed its game meta and pacing, and maps were scaled properly for modes

jovial forge
uneven hollow
#

I mean if bfv was anime then I wouldn’t mind

rigid bramble
#

The Mad World trailer, the anti-nade spam trailer. You weren't really supposed to take it seriously. It was supposed to be a fun and quirky game.

uneven hollow
#

Thank you mike I’ll check it out

near kelp
#

Well yes, but did BC2 had misaki?

#

I tought so

jovial forge
#

No problem. BC2 has couple more to look at to

rigid bramble
#

Also fun fact: because of this, DICE still doesn't understand why people love Bad Company.

#

They legit asked the community at one point!

jovial forge
#

DICE doesn't understand why people liked Bad company despite many people saying it to their face

errant root
#

Well to start: Balance

jovial forge
#

Ignorance at its finest

solid hinge
#

LOL I JUST KILLED SKMEONE WITH THE TITAN

errant root
#

Classes were extremely specialized and balanced in BC2

jovial forge
#

BC2's fatal flaw was baserape

rigid bramble
#

It was lightning in a bottle & it always starts with the right people being at the right place at the right time.

errant root
#

You deserved getting base raped if you got there, though

rigid bramble
#

Bad Company was, for the most part, about as sandbox-y as Battlefield got.

solid hinge
#

So was sbf3

cold trail
#

Imagine making a game that costs more-per-player than you would make back in initial revenue, while consistently generating high-quality content, being transparent more than any other title in the franchise history, being engaging with an abnormal amount of laymen and genre influencers, and experimenting with a live patching system to help said players for two straight years, only to have said player base bitch and complain the entire way because 'my streamer says...' or 'I follow this toxic person on twitter and their gospel is...' or 'I can't make this myself, but I paid $XX.XX amount of dollars for a market product so my voice counts more than economics or common sense...". LUL

errant root
#

The destruction was off the charts

cold trail
#

Too many armchair analysts.

jovial forge
#

Not necessarily. BC2 had a static single spawn spot that made it extremely easy to zero in on to kill a base spawn player

rigid bramble
#

Damn Hydra, you gotta tell me if you're drop numbers like that!

jovial forge
#

Remeber when attack helicopters circled one spot spamm rockets?

cold trail
#

The title was great, it was doing some great things, its successor will be greater. That's the legacy of the franchise (with the exception of hardline, that was ass).

rigid bramble
#

My fifth-grade maths skill need a warning shot first mate!

errant root
#

BFV was bad

#

Like, easily the worst game in the franchise

uneven hollow
#

Tbh. That was a good transition from video to gameplay

jovial forge
#

the jab at Hardline will always make me laugh

#

@uneven hollow Thats good market tactics

errant root
#

Hardline was out of place, but polished

#

BFV is nowhere close to polished

rigid bramble
#

Hardline was unbalanced but it was fun.

#

It also had one of the series few good stories.

errant root
#

2 years on, and there are still day one bugs

rigid bramble
#

Admitedly, by ripping off procedurals but nevertheless.

jovial forge
#

Hardline's fatal flaw was its weapons balance and loadout mechanics

#

plus immortal objects

rigid bramble
#

Hell, Hardline's campaign actually had a great stealth system!

errant root
#

But Hardline was an offshoot from a B-team.

rigid bramble
#

Not a B-team. Anotehr studio.

errant root
#

And it still "wasn't bad"

rigid bramble
#

Visceral, the guys behind Dead Space.

jovial forge
#

Visceral got handed a raw deal cus they got Axed by EA shortly afterwards

rigid bramble
#

And don't worry, for their efforts they were promptly shut down.

jovial forge
#

EA: Good job Visceral, now die

rigid bramble
#

Their Star Wars project too.

errant root
#

They got fucked because EA doesn't understand that AAA single player games need big budgets

jovial forge
#

Thanos snap

rigid bramble
#

Headed by Amy Hennig of all people, project lead on Uncharted.

#

Like... seriously?

errant root
#

Apparently nobody wants an open world action-adventure Star Wars RPG

rigid bramble
#

And they still wonder why people freaking hate them?

errant root
#

Oh right, EVERYBODY wants that

jovial forge
#

Correction. Random people in charge that don't have a connection to the market didn't want it

errant root
#

EA are tone deaf corporate suits

rigid bramble
#

And then they were blown away when Fallen Order sold like hot cakes!

jovial forge
#

Suits need to stop meddling in the affairs of the dev teams. Just sit down and count beans

errant root
#

It humors me though that for all of its faults, Fallout 76 will end up being a better, more favorable game than BFV

rigid bramble
#

Probably because they didn't bail out.

errant root
#

Because the F76 road-map for content stretches into 2022

rigid bramble
#

Hell, BF4 and Battlefront 2 recovered!

gray glade
#

and cuz they put in more effort to fix it

little osprey
#

Why u think those businessman care your feeling? People spent tons of money at shitty game/loot boxes

errant root
#

Yes, but DICE LA fixed those games

rigid bramble
#

Still under DICE's banner.

muted socket
#

isnt fo76 an mmo so theres no sequel in sight for a long time to focus on

errant root
#

And DICE LA is off working on a new IP under Vince Zampella's leadership

rigid bramble
#

Yep.

uneven hollow
#

Well maybe true but they could’ve abandoned it tho

#

Since everyone was taking a shit at it

muted socket
#

that new IPL: combatlocation

jovial forge
#

I recall that part of the world started to crack down on lootboxes due to the gambling nature

uneven hollow
#

But Bethesda was like: ha ha Ima keep updating the game

rigid bramble
#

My guy, Respawn hit us up with a Medal of Honor VR game.

jovial forge
#

Then EA tried to rename lootboxes "Suprise mechanics"

muted socket
#

yeah. pretty sure laws were put in place bc of it

uneven hollow
#

Then Todd was like who’s laughing now

gray glade
#

i dont even have A VR set

rigid bramble
#

Me neither. It still looked great.

gray glade
#

should be cool tbh

errant root
#

My guess is that new game is going to be Star Wars, but the rumor is that it is a new IP entirely

jovial forge
#

This is one thing CoD microtransaction got right. Make a set, put it in the dlc shop so anyone can freely buy it.

little osprey
#

BF die. MOH back.

gray glade
#

i think their next game is actually that medal of honor vr game though?

rigid bramble
#

Which is just so ironic.

gray glade
#

or do they have 2

errant root
#

That's Respawn's B-Team

#

Respawn is huge now

#

They've almost tripled in size

gray glade
#

oh i see

rigid bramble
#

They're also doing better than most on the triple-A scene.

jovial forge
#

Rapid growth can be a detriment

rigid bramble
#

And for that, are actually well respected.

errant root
#

They have good leadership

split plank
#

So im guessing nows the time to redownload bf1?

rigid bramble
#

On the whole, they've got a good everything (setting aside that time a dev called people who play a F2P game freeloaders)

errant root
#

And EA doesn't fuck with them. More than likely David West & Vince Zampella have a contract that allows them to basically develop their ideas without EA bugging them

#

Understand, EA as a publisher didn't even know about Apex Legends until 2 weeks before they released it

jovial forge
#

THANKFULLY! I never uninstalled BF4 and 1LUL

rigid bramble
#

That was pretty much the terms of brining Vince Zamepella in as DICE LA lead.

muted socket
#

how did they not know

rigid bramble
#

They had long played support and proven their worth, Zameplla the same with Respawn.

#

Sounds like a match made in heaven.

errant root
#

Respawn was literally like - "oh by the way, we want to release this Free2Play BR game next week"

rigid bramble
#

No.

#

They said "Oh hey, here's this BR game... It's out today thanks"

errant root
#

Basically

muted socket
#

woah

jovial forge
#

Respawn did what we like to call a pro gamer move

rigid bramble
#

Not basically.

#

That dead ass happened.

muted socket
#

that impresses me more than it should

jovial forge
#

Yes respawn just dropped Apex and it succeded

errant root
#

They created the original Medal of Honor

rigid bramble
#

No.

#

Their studio leads came from MOH, they didn't create it.

#

Steven Spielberg headed MOH's creation under Dreamworks to conincide with Saving Pvt. Ryan.

uneven hollow
#

Tbh now that I think about it bfv could’ve been worse

errant root
#

They were involved creatively

little osprey
#

They make it because they want to get budget from EA. and...they make a great game accidently

errant root
#

They did lead Call of Duty 4 and MW2

uneven hollow
#

If they released bfv out of the blue like mw2

#

Like that would be weird

muted socket
#

what do u mean released out of the blue?

rigid bramble
#

Nope, they were basically trench runners on it until they got pissed and founded Infinity Ward.

uneven hollow
#

Like they didn’t do trailers or anything

rigid bramble
#

They'd then IW over royalties owed and create Resapawn.

uneven hollow
#

They where like behold bfv at released

errant root
#

There was a lot with that big 2009 lawsuit.

little osprey
#

Activision kicked them out

errant root
#

It had to do with royalties, and the ability to move onto new IPs

#

Activision was like "fuck you"

#

Something like 20 people left IW with them to help found Respawn

#

And to their credit, Titanfall is a great franchise

#

Apex was an instant hit

#

Fallen Order too

austere tusk
#

i hope the next battlefield will be released finished because i think the next battlefield will be the last game to bring back the battlefield community we lost with battlefield 5.

strong swift
#

battlefield 6 is going to be a very hard sell
people arent going to forget how badly they fucked up bfv

errant root
#

I also love how they use Source Engine and Unreal 4

neat tulip
#

for some reason i like the pp-2000 better than most other near-zero recoil guns

muted socket
#

arent gamers notoriously bad with boycotts

errant root
#

Depends

strong swift
#

its not a boycott its just a total lack of trust

errant root
#

BFV was relatively successful since the game officially only sold about 7.4m units

strong swift
#

since dice basically destroyed their reputation

errant root
#

Plenty more bought it used

#

But that's not a profit to EA/DICE

strong swift
#

people are gonna remember this

errant root
#

BF1 understand sold 23m units

austere tusk
#

boycotts doesn't work in gaming

errant root
#

BF4 I think sold almost 20 by the end

modern sedge
#

boycotts dont work because the people yelling on the internet is the most vocal minority

austere tusk
#

yup agree

errant root
#

So sub-8m units is a big drop off for a AAA FPS

muted socket
#

most gamers dont follow internet forums and stuff

eternal onyx
#

u r not right m8

muted socket
#

who

glacial pagoda
strong swift
#

no but gamers will pay attention to dice basically shutting down development of one of their flagship games

errant root
#

BF4 was saved by the $15 premium edition that was being sold in 2015

eternal onyx
#

well a big part of the gamers are usually active here in discord or reddit so..

rocky verge
#

tbh "live services" and "roadmaps" have become such a joke smugcop

eternal onyx
#

agreed

errant root
#

Unless you're CS:GO or R6

austere tusk
#

or warframe

errant root
#

Or Overwatch

strong swift
#

if they have any brains they wont do live service ever again

errant root
#

Or Fortnite

modern sedge
#

i cant believe battlefront 2 lasted longer than this game

strong swift
#

since bfv shows they are horrible at live service

eternal onyx
#

I've been playing BF1 these days on the Xbox and surprisingly they are full lobbies

#

"Live Service" was an excuse for DICE to put out less content with a loose time table

#

I mean R6 released in 2015 and content is still flying in

modern sedge
#

live service requires the devs and team to be committed to it, bf2 is prolly the best example of dice properly executing it

errant root
#

Fuck, CS:GO was 2012

#

Averages 1.2m players daily

strong swift
#

live service also gives them a way to pull the plug on a game without breaking any rules

errant root
#

On just Steam, lol

dense bone
#

bfv is a bit harder for live service considering the map sizes and complexity of the game

austere tusk
#

battlefront 2 is still surviving with the devs releasing content for the fans thats been playing the game since day 1 lol

errant root
#

And the incompetence of the studio and publisher

eternal onyx
#

bfv was a total mess even before the game release

errant root
#

And the lack of leadership

#

Definitely complicates things

modern sedge
#

battlefield 5, works better with dlc because of the nature of maps, content waves, etc.

dense bone
#

incompetence from the only dev team making bf like games?

strong swift
#

i dont know whos in charge of dice but ea needs to do some serious looking over at whos running dice

muted socket
#

i feel like i should be mad right now but im not

#

One reason Dice killed off BF5 is because of braindead Youtubers keep yelling Dice to kill off BF5

dense bone
#

the closest bf competition is IW with warzone and thats shit

errant root
#

They seemed to hit off off pretty well in the past - for the most part

rigid bramble
#

Apparently it’s the new guard who came into charge when a bunch of the old souls left.

soft juniper
#

"bad game bla bla bla kill this off bla bla bla"

errant root
#

They just fall apart like we couldn't have ever imagined

#

And it was EA as a whole

soft juniper
#

Thats why I hate 90% of clickbait youtubers

errant root
#

Look at Anthem

muted socket
#

a lot of the old guard have been there since 1942. dont blame them

austere tusk
#

EA owns dice so i think EA told dice to end the support for the game.

errant root
#

Yikes

strong swift
#

i mean
dice could have just
you know
not messed things up

dense bone
#

so easy xD

#

game dev is easy

errant root
#

It is easy

#

Delay the game

limber lily
#

@soft juniper Dice killed off bfV because the team that manages it is very lazy most likely

strong swift
#

maybe not rush a game

errant root
#

Like, really delay it

dense bone
#

people with face value assumptions thinking its really that simple

soft juniper
#

Yea its also another reason

errant root
#

Like, hey we need 4-6 months

limber lily
#

and EA also likely wanted a end date as well sat

rigid bramble
#

This series was never perfect, we saw it with BF4 especially. But normally it was tech stuff that could get ironed out. “They didn’t have the tech” with BFV because there was hardly a game to begin with

errant root
#

It really is that simple

dense bone
#

doubt

errant root
#

Don't release an unfinished game

dense bone
#

actually i dont even doubt

strong swift
#

the team behind bfv or at least the people in charge are either incompetent or lazy

dense bone
#

i know its not as simple as you guys lead on

limber lily
#

it isnt EAs fault but its likely this is now the end date but dice teams on bfV just failed on the rest of the time given

errant root
#

You're just being an apologist

lilac umbra
#

he is just old

dense bone
#

bunch of consumers acting like they know whats going on when they are likely still in school or work some basic ass job...

strong swift
#

ea has some of the blame
but in the end dice is why bfv is why it is the way it is

errant root
#

I mean look at CD Project Red and Naughty Dog

rigid bramble
#

It was said that the BFV we got was said to have basically been priced together in about 18/19-months

just so we are clear

it is managements fault and not the actual developers

limber lily
#

@dense bone what are you talking about

strong swift
#

nyphon just stop

errant root

They seem to hit home runs pretty steadily

dense bone
#

cdpr nor nd make games as complicated as bf

strong swift
#

wut

modern sedge

have we devolved to geraldo good, ea bad

i think we have

dense bone
#

hitting home runs is not as simple as making a game

rigid bramble
#

You know, you don’t have to be a gourmet chef to complain that the soup was warm

errant root

I'd argue they make far more complicated games

limber lily
#

Nyphon are you a game developer

muted socket
#

gamingcirclejerk user?

lilac umbra
#

they make games that are even more complicated than bfv you shmuck

errant root
#

DICE needs to use better software

limber lily

or ever worked on modding

strong swift

nyphon you need to get off your high horse

near kelp
#

nyphon, are you having a stroke? because you dont make sense

dense bone
#

better software?

#

theres no better sofwater for bf games than frostbite

errant root
#

Why do you think Respawn refused to use Frostbite?

strong swift
#

is that why the game is so buggy?

limber lily
#

guys...

#

stop acting like game developers

dense bone
#

the engine is buggy, but apparently the only engine that can handle bfv in the first place

rigid bramble
#

You mean the “no better software” that Anthem was built on?

dense bone
#

wheres bfv competition otherwise?

errant root
#

That's BS

strong swift

you dont have to be a game developer to complain about a game

i want to hear what nyphon is saying bc theyre the first person with this pov

Im getting strawman vibes

lilac umbra

frostbite is good if its used right way

muted socket

i mean read

strong swift
#

nyphon is being dumb

errant root
#

Lack of competition has nothing to do with software

rigid bramble
#

The same can be said for any engine

limber lily
#

every engine is built for the specific games they are made, so the witcher engine indeed may not be able to run bf5 as well, it isnt wrong

dense bone
#

im getting massive "im an angry consumer and love this circle jerk going on against a company i bought a game off of"

errant root
#

It's just that historically they've nailed the formula

limber lily
#

but the bf5 engine couldnt run witcher either

near kelp

nyphon is actually a spy from dice

strong swift

probably

jovial forge

don't assume words for anger

errant root

Unreal 4 can run literally anything

im just a consumer, just like you guys

most of the things wrong with bfv are inexcusable

what are the things wrong that are excusable

fossil heron

Unreal cant run BF

lilac umbra

if i buy a product and it sucks i have right to be angry

errant root

I don't know exactly what happened either, but I know the game was rushed

dont asume that anger =/= being right

@rigid bramble certain people here are definitely acting like they know exactly whats going on

lilac umbra

you arent real consumer if you dont know that

jovial forge

Neither do we, doesn't stop us from pointing out things that could of been done better

@muted socket the rushing of the game was probably eas fault
besides that most of whats wrong with the game is inexcusable

muted socket

im not angry. im actually more sad 😦 😦

but you point things out like you actually know

You can't tell me you don't think BFV wouldn't be a better product had it released in say March

no nyphon

someone ban this moron

How do you think BFV's post-prime life is going to be like compared to BF1, which I can STILL find full to near full servers on PS4 of every game mode with the exception of extremely rare to find Air Assault.

muted socket

they arent breaking any rules

@dense bone The vast majority of us are sticking to what has been stated and released publicly

"bfv failed because they are lazy and incompetent"

air assault sucks so its ok

ok bud

ok nyphon

it just wasn't a finished game

doesnt mean more dev time will solve its problems...

limber lily

i think ur all wrong and right in some extent

lilac umbra

no shit

its been 1.5 post launch and they have worked on it and there are still problems...

errant root
#

I didn't say lazy, but there was gross incompetence from leadership

leaden glen
#

@strong swift Is/was Air Assault that bad of a game mode?

strong swift

so that means they ar ebad devs @dense bone

limber lily

Nyphon bugs are super easy to fix

strong swift

if they cant fix it it stil

dense bone

@lilac umbra youre way more likely to get banned than i am

limber lily

and its not hard to models and textures to be done

when you have the money

then they actually are incompetent

@strong swift these bad devs are the only people making a title like this

What about time

I mean you don't insult your fanbase and tell them "don't buy the game"

hahaha you funny guy

thats not an insult

strong swift

it is

limber lily
#

barely any time is required to make models and textures lol

dense bone

saying dont buy something you dont like it just logic

errant root

Calling people uneducated?

its a stupid pr move

limber lily

a full model can be done in a day

textures in 4 days

fossil heron
#

I believe design wise BFV is a great game. Everyone is butt hurt that there wont be more content for it. If you didn't like BFV in the first place this news should make you happy if anything.

rigid bramble

But not for long. COD is happily stepping up on their turf

@errant root if they are uneducated thats their fault

you're just defending dice at this point for no reason

@fossil heron design is nice but it didn't honestly deliever enough content

Is Nyphon doing that "Don't ask questions, just consume product" bit?

They complained they didn’t get a good product? That’s their right.

@jovial forge not even close but ok

i wish dice tucked me into bed 😦

@limber lily yeah thats because people dipped because of the bugs

apparently we arent allowed to complain about a product

you can complain you didnt get what you wanted, doesnt mean you deserve what you want

people want more free content

errant root
#

I just wanted a proper WW2 game, lol

dense bone
#

congrats?

limber lily

which are super easy fixes @fossil heron . i think the DICE team in charge of BFV currently should be reviewed at by EA and be maybe given a warning

That was you know, polished

Apparently you’re just supposed to consoom product @strong swift

"ww2 like youve never seen before"

I didn't want free content cuz I knew there would be cosmetics in those who look disgusting so I like that premium stuff they had before that was way better

what part of that makes you think its 1942 remastered?

They told me it would be polished

are you bringing up more quotes that you cant actually source @errant root ?

No more "meeting release windows". Release the game when it is ready.

@fossil heron i enjoy bfv it is a great game gameplay wise
but the lack of content is pretty bad and the bugs are inexcusable

dense bone
#

how many mp games are there with 64 people, top of the line graphics/audio, destruction, with infantry and vehicles?

strong swift
#

plenty

dense bone
#

list please

#

lets see this

#

are they all bf titles?

rigid bramble
#

It’s always funny when people who know nothing about game development complain to each other about game developers & call rank one those who expect a good product

errant root
#

I mean Post Scriptum is 50v50

strong swift
#

its almost like other bf games have more content and less bugs

#

but apparently this one is ok

echo turtle
#

Bugs are easy to fix

#

Lmfao

errant root
#

And you can fit Hamada into one map 6 times

dense bone
#

PS only has 50v50, not the other elements

echo turtle
#

In some cases they're a fucking bitch to fix

errant root
#

And the netcode is solid. Optimization is solid.

jovial forge
#

I still think on the PR side of BFV, that was absolute shit compared to previous titles

dense bone
#

@strong swift compared to other bf titles, bfv does suck, it is the worst, but still you can only compare them to bf titles

#

because theres nothing else

fossil heron
#

@strong swift older titles had a slew of bugs but people stuck around long enough for dice to fix them

strong swift
#

they also had more cotnent

dense bone
#

with paid for dlc?

errant root
#

It has tanks. It has gravity based ballistics.

dense bone
#

go figure...

strong swift
#

wow its almost as if live service is a bad idea

jovial forge
#

BFV its the first game DICE have bailed out during a cycle

limber lily
#

@fossil heron they didnt really debug anything thats the problem

dense bone
#

@errant root no destruction, no air/sea vehicles, and definitely not top of the line graphics either

echo turtle
#

Dice stockholm bailed on bf4

errant root
#

Those things are all coming to the game

dense bone
#

@strong swift agreed, but theres clearly a difference why one game has less content when its free

jovial forge
#

DICE LA stuck around though

errant root
#

It's in early access

dense bone
#

@errant root when they do then tell me to compare the

fossil heron
#

@limber lily they did. There's still a couple bugs but for the most part they're gone

dense bone
#

otherwise its not a competition

limber lily
#

bro theres still loads of bugs what do you mean lol

echo turtle
#

This is the second time dice stockholm has bailed

#

Not the first

strong swift
#

dice should never use live service again

I don't understand how you regress

limber lily

theres even a bug that makes you stuck on your screen

when dead

errant root
#

That's my issue

i think more people are mad here that dice is one of the few dev teams out there than can make a bf title

End of game report and no respawn are the only 2 I can think of

The few trailers that followed the reveal were nice

i dont remember seeing any marketing for the game aside from the trailers

How many day one bugs persist?

dense bone

but ive come to learn most peoples definition here for "broken" is theres a few annoying bugs

limber lily
#

there was one with a foggy look and one with a black vig outlay so that may be why @fossil heron

echo turtle
#

The marketing wasn't horrendous

dense bone
#

broken IS a game that doesnt function, at all

#

it was

dense bone
#

not a small bug that is annoying

limber lily
#

they mightve removed the black outlay one

#

but i still had the foggy one

errant root
#

I mean Fallout 76 functioned at launch

fossil heron
#

I think what killed BFV was the lack of players to support a live service model after dealing with bugs from a dated engine

errant root
#

Not well, but it functioned

near kelp
#

borken is when you get stuck after dying because bug

jovial forge
#

BFV's Worldwide premier trailer was atrocious but the follow up ones were nice. Pacific trailer being the best one

dense bone
#

@near kelp no its not

strong swift
#

the reveal trailer and whole trevor noah was horrible and the comments made by staff such as the uneducated and dont buy it if you dont like it

dense bone
#

broken is not being able to play the game

limber lily
#

i think what killed BFV is the lack of content for free players

errant root
#

The Pacific showed that they had it in them.

near kelp
#

yes it is, because you know, it broke

errant root
#

Then came 5.2

fossil heron

People still whining about muh women

tranquil bear

Someone BF1?

strong swift
#

@fossil heron i mean lack of players because the live service was really bad

limber lily
#

well honestly

echo turtle
#

The engine is old and bfv shows that it needs to be improved

dense bone

imagine being mad that someone told you not to buy something you dont like

#

what a joke

limber lily
#

bf5 isnt honestly dead but its being abandoned most likely for a reason

strong swift
#

people will get bored if the live service is so slow

and stuff keeps getting delayed

errant root

I don't really care about the women, just don't call it historically accurate - way too many mixed messages in the initial marketing

near kelp

and the ttk gets changed

Too many buzzwords

@strong swift it was slow because of the bugs

dense bone
#

"dont like it dont buy it"
"WHAT?! how dare you tell me such logic!"

strong swift
#

@dense bone when your job is to make people want to buy the game
you dont tell people not to buy it

#

thats not how advertising works

dense bone
#

bad move on suderlands part, but hes not wrong

But The Pacific really did show that with time and resources, they can still deliver

Nyphon is decending into hyperbole

echo turtle

But it's not an insult

^

limber lily
#

guys, the games likely being abandoned for 2 major reasons i can think of, a new BF being announced(unlikely) or it wasnt earning them as much money anymore

dense bone

his job is to get people to buy it

echo turtle
#

They told you not to buy it

muted socket

i think most devs would probably say the same thing. theyre just not supid enough to say it out loud

dense bone
#

but telling you not to if you dont want to is not a problem for anyone but him

echo turtle

They didn't call you stupid

strong swift

and telling people NOT to buy it does the opposite of making people want to buy it

how you guys take offense to someone telling you not to buy something you dont like is beyond me

strong swift

because you are an idiot

sensitive as fuck as self victimizing

not even close xD

near kelp

they are

strong swift

dice tried to claim bfv was accurate and respectful while adding historically inaccurate stuff and literally making a campaign story up about real life events

dense bone

saying pizza down the street is better is not insulting

are you serious?

near kelp
#

unless you are marketing a sadomasochist game

errant root

I just thought they were tremendously stupid

rigid bramble

It wasn't that alone in isolation? It was his spearheading it as a politcal charge because his daughter didn't know why she could play a female character in Fortnite and not in WW2 where, it is historically evident that females, were they play to play a participorty part, were only in select factions. They threw the baby out with the bathwater and clutched their pearls when people complained.

no wonder you guys get mad that someone told you to not buy something you dont want xD

youre illogical

@strong swift it would be more boring if they went full realism

you wouldnt have a lot of the tanks

Flat out, they missed the market. Then they recaptured it with The Pacific, then somehow fucked it up again

theres nothing to get mad about

most of the tanks we have are experimental never really used in combat

ok i'm just gonna ignore nyphon

@limber lily i know it would be boring
so why did dice try to claim they were being historically accurate

You know what he means

people cant comprehend last major content drop

they are

I mean all of my characters in Insurgency are women. Kurdish women fought ISIL. just think having American women fighting in Iwo Jima rubs people off the wrong way, especially when their great uncles, grandfathers, exc were there

rigid bramble
#

Correct me if I'm wrong, they're just placing the game on support mode following the summer update. But for all intensive purposes, this will be seen as an abandon ship call.

errant root
#

It is just that having them there is extremely out of place

solid hinge
#

hmm

fossil heron
#

My whole armory is misakis

solid hinge
#

I think they should have restricted women to countries that had them, like if Russia ever got released they’d be available as a scout skin

near kelp

misaki=waifu

jovial forge

Female avatars could of been handled better coming later down the pipe. Misaki is waifu bait fight me

errant root
#

If the next BF is in the near future, and there are women, I don't think anybody will care

#

But don't fuck with historic conflicts

solid hinge

how many times a day are we gonna have this convo

jovial forge

forever

near kelp

yes, people love history

thats why i left the subreddit

strong swift

@solid hinge ok if they manage to add the soviets
americans in europe
all of the guns that have been datamined plus more
plenty of maps not just 1 or 2
and fix the majority of bugs
then yeah it would be a major content drop

A long ass time

Well this is my first

solid hinge

I kind of like what they did with BF1, where you’d get a random character every time

errant root
#

So..

#

Oh, I'm down with player customization

little osprey
#

people cant comprehend last major content drop
@solid hinge there is no new content after summer update. They confirmed it on official twitter

rigid bramble
#

Battlefield One handled diversity somewhat better, it had its creative concessions but the Female Russian Sniper was a pretty authentic implementation and for that, it made her presence for noticable.

errant root
#

But keep it BF4 style

jovial forge
#

BF1 handled bringing the ladies on to the field in a stylish way that didn't rustle jimmies much.

solid hinge
#

yes

strong swift
#

because the bf1 addition of women was historically accurate

jovial forge
#

it was more believable

solid hinge
#

you don’t see female Italian machine gunners flying planes

strong swift
#

that actually happened

solid hinge
#

@little osprey ik, but people think that means all the servers gonna close and they still wont work on fixing the game is the point

jovial forge

BFV failed that

whats better than winning a grand operations with devastation end of round theme playing around

that theme is dope

solid hinge

bfv has good music

rigid bramble

Oh yeah.

#

That music though 👍

near kelp
#

the best part of the game

solid hinge
#

anyway, what do you guys think of the live service thing?

errant root
#

I'm sorry, hearing high pitched screams and seeing female Marines on the shores of Iwo Jima absolutely breaks immersion

solid hinge
#

I think it could have been handled better

#

fuck immersion

strong swift

live service is a mistake

#

ever

#

i'll take paid dlc any time

errant root

I'm not uneducated, it just didn't happen.

Immersion will always be broken or broken swiftly

Hopefully they have enough data to improve it if they go for a life service next game

they wont

shit pre eor theme is playing let me play x100 times better

rigid bramble
#

Eh, immersion is no hill I'd die on. I'd go as far as to say Battlefield as a series always felt like there was a greater importance on authenticity above all lese second only to gameplay, such as the protype weapons in BF1.

strong swift
#

if you want to make a historically inaccurate game thats fine
but dont try to claim its an accurate game

errant root
#

But if we're in a fictional conflict, say 10 years in the future.... It's believable.

solid hinge
#

the automatico is a godsend for us console plebs lol

fossil heron
#

@strong swift they said WW2 like you've never seen before

novel blaze
#

V couldve been the biggest thing
the graphics the music the intense brrakthrough

solid hinge
#

damn right and I hope I never see it again

#

they never claimed anything as accurate

strong swift
#

thats just pr talk

jovial forge
#

If the next BF title could have a Misaki that kinda cute. That'd be great thanks Yes

errant root
#

You're point is valid, but other games made that a point. BF1 was literally "what WW1 could have been given the direction technology was going"

fossil heron
#

No that was the tag line for the game lol

strong swift
#

if dice wanted to go historically inaccurate they should have just gone full alt history

near kelp
#

the most immersion breaking thing in bfv was that the japanese didnt have giant enemy crabs

echo turtle
#

I'm surprised they didn't look at/copy other live service models that have been successful

rigid bramble
#

And honestly? The prototype weaponry did more to inform the audience about the WW1 than if it had been the same stock and standard rank & rifle weaponry! And you can fight me on that.

novel blaze
#

do you guys think pre eor and eor music will return

muted socket
#

they can save bfv by selling us misaki body pillows

fossil heron
#

I agree tho. They should of went full alt history

solid hinge
#

just cause something works for one game doesnt mean it will work for another

little osprey
#

I don’t care history shit. I just want to shoot some ww2 guns

solid hinge
#

I feel like alt history would have been a better way to go

#

they’d have more freedom

muted socket
#

thats how i feel tbh. history is fun but i dont mind it taking a back seat

errant root
#

I mean the Hellriegel for example - Hungary ordered 30,000 of them, but the factory that manufactured the parts was destroyed, and hen the war ended before production could be met.

solid hinge
#

also we’d get to see all the crazy shit that the Germans were cooking up near the end

I got a question can you spectate on premium servers if you don't have premium?

im fucking pissed we still havent found a hellriegel

This is why BFV's pitches failed.

Only 2 are assembled

imagine a tank superiority game mode where the germans call in the prototype maus for 40k

errant root
#

Only one was ever fired

fossil heron
#

There's no hellriegels in existence

strong swift
#

they should have gone full wolfenstein with alt history
then people wouldnt complain about women and stuff
but no they instead called people uneducated when they complained about female german and british troops in a mostly straightforward ww2 game

solid hinge
#

it’s probably on some austrian farmer’s wall

glossy locust

The graphics aren't even that good either, at least compared to BF1, ray-tracing is such a useless effect too

gray saffron
#

i haven't seen any other game where buzz words were looked at so closely you could see the ink

fossil heron
#

Theres a picture of one

errant root

But they ordered 30,000 of them into production

rigid bramble

That or search Premium into the search or filter bar @solid hinge

muted socket

theres only 2 pics of them lmao

ray tracing + BF1 details would look great

One prototype was made

Thats it

errant root

One is in a museum

strong swift

theres no ribeyrolles either

solid hinge
#

@strong swift thats over and done with, why constantly bring it up

echo turtle
#

If they took Wolfenstein's approach to ww2 with the axis winning/curb stomping they would've had some fun designing guns and vehicles

fossil heron
#

Thats not true

errant root
#

The other is in pieces somewhere

gray saffron

ray tracing makes bfv skyrocket way ahead of bf1 imo. it looks fantastic

fossil heron
#

No

errant root

The 3rd is privately owned

glossy locust

I have run the game maxed out ray tracing ultra i am telling you you cannot tell the difference while playing it's such a subtle effect

@solid hinge i'm bringing up things they could have done instead of what we got

The lack of a 1903 Springfield fills me with sadness gigaMeowStatic

there's so many reflective areas in bfv. from water puddles to your gun to the windows of a building

strong swift

battlefield wolfenstein would be great i'd play it

fossil heron

@errant root none of that is true

I'm not sure any of them are 100% assembled or original though

A new steampunks battlefield would be great lol

Wolftenstein gunplay always felt pretty meh to me.

near kelp

the lack of ju-52 is the worst part about bfv

glossy locust
#

yeah but the reflective surfaces on ultra are still really good, like you have to look down at the puddles to notice ray tracing and even then it's very subtle.

ray traced lighting and shadows is way more noticeable

going back to it theres currently no hellriegel currently in existence

Didn’t most of the team that worked on BF1 leave?

@jovial forge i never said it wasnt dumb, but its irrelevant at this point and old, why constantly bring it up when no one even cares anymore

strong swift

it wasnt right since the parts of ww2 where women soldiers would be accurate arent in the game lmao

@solid hinge i dunno but i do know dice has been losing staff for a while

Officially there's one Hellriegel in existence - unofficially there's

i'd be ok with women in ww2 if it was full on alt history

but dont mix and match

solid hinge

or just not care

strong swift

or if it was women soviets

since that was real

jovial forge

I still say female avatars should of been implemented when the Russaion faction came in. That would of been awsome

Female tanker pilot preferably

#

she existed

errant root

And because production was basically destroyed, the official built number is unknown

female snipers were real

like in bf1
