Yeah
I don't mind the era, just don't pull a bait n switch like BFV
Argentina used it too
The Gulf War could be interesting, next year is it's the 30th Anniversary.
It was 100 hours long, lol
I AM THE VICTIM OF VOODOO!!!
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
@errant root THE last war to feature battleships (The US' WWII-vintage Iowa class).
Ive always wanted a mode where the US navy and air force had to defend its self from incoming Japanese kamikaze pilots
a cold war theme is not that bad afterall, but not sure about it's 'content' capabilities
@errant root @solid hinge A guide to the weapons used by both the British and Argentinians during the Falklands War: AKA what DICE & EA would have to work with for a BF set in the early 80's.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_the_Falklands_War
Cold War Alternatibe History
They could always go that route
They could start a new “lore” road.
Battlefield has lore?
The Battlefield lore is in each player heart and mind.
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
I dont think people play BF for the lore
Multiplayer is BF's niche meat and potatoes
Eitherway, there it is tho. the lore
Do you guys think dice will update bf4 or bf1 in the meantime?
No
DICE should allow open mod support and private server hosting
They'll keep up with community games on 1
You know, like CS:GO
Frostbite is not fun to mod
Tbh bfv should have mods
Well it's a huge POS, I know
Like let us mod your bfv
But put out a dev kit for mod support
If you won’t support bfv then the modders will have fun
Look at what mods have done for Skyrim

We can literary have modded Russians and modded Italians
agreed actually
Mods may make the game glicth and create more bugs doe
I don't look at fallout mods
Most of it just crashes the game but still playable if done right
Fallout =/=battlefield
watching jackfrags play bf4 again does make me want to reinstall the game again
it still looks so good
Lots of dlc servers are up too since the pandemic
Like BFV (ashes cigarette)
Its really fun
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.
BF4 started clunky but got better over time
Saying it started out "clunky" is being generous.
@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
Almost like they shouldn't rush games as big as Battlefield 🤷♂️
I was on PSN and the only real problem I came across was zombie soldiers and rubberband.
But yes, stop rushing the game
True
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.
Remember that time when they bullied the original design of sonic and they changed it
It would justve had more stuff. The game was rigged from the start.
Sonic is its own legend for that move
Yeah. The director took the hit for it, they went back to the lab and changed it.
That first design was garbage
Thing is though, the studio behind the redesign folded.
Imagine if bfv had that same energy
Crunch like that is insane and has its costs.

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.
The effort was there. They just couldn't stay out of their own way and commit on an angle with the game.
^
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
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.
yeah
hey
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
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.
Pacific update was cool til the TTK update happened
And that trailer. MPHH. The trailer though!
That ttk update killed the hype swiftly
The Pacific Update Trailer is the sort of thing I expect of EA/DICE's marketing teams.
Pacific trailer should of been what DICE should of shown off at worldwide reveal
Not some lame breakdown of content. Leave that to the YouTubers.
i loved firestorm duo though
should have, not should of
One second their praising the game, next moment their bashing it
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.
When people just sit light tanks on objectives
It's old hat at that this point but it's like that way for a reason.
Like bruh even my antitank rifle can kill em
@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.
The D-Day trailer probably would have helped the game do so much better
I've lost the source but I remember reading it and thinking how much cooler that'd be especially off the heels of Dunkirk.
Thats what I heard to. That moron screwed the game over before it even launched
It would just be a nice, solid, classic WW2 game trailer
Main goal of a reveal to a popular game is to collect an audience to want to play it
Emphasis on WW2 game trailer.
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
It was one of the main factors
Which is crazy considering the pedigree of the EA/DICE marketing team.
Bad marketing kills products
What did go wrong with the marketing team tho
Just go back to BF4: BF4 had some great trailers that really mailed home that game.
Like how did any of them look at their trailer and think "This is it"
The higher ups apparently pulled rank on them to meet 'their vision' @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
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 
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.
You aren't wrong
It was still very cartoonish and made no sense
Which can work for Battlefield.
there was no flow
It'd be like having COD modern warfare with clown outfits
This isn't ARMA, Battlefield is at its best when it focuses on those "Only in Battlefield Moments."
And don't forget them swapping teams and doing completely random stuff through the trailer
Look back to the BF1 Reveal.
The pitch of BFV was WWII starting with unknown stuff.
No one expecting what we got starting off
For what was shown, it felt like BF in WW1.
BF1 trailer was proper marketing
And done by the same guy who did BFV's reveal apparently.
How can i report cheaters on console??
I still think at times it was people higher up then DICE that were meddling in BFV's design

If they'd just remade the Bf1 trailer with bf5 cosmetics it would have done way better
Executive meddling is a killer of products
If I recall correctly, you have to report them through their profile @wheat frigate
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
On PS4 there is not that option. I remember on Bad company 2 but no here
All the stuff they had in the Bf1 trailer
Even with that all being said, at the end of the day BF1 was still showcasing the better game.
Less michael bay explosion spam would be a start for a BF trailer
Even so anything is better than following a collection of cartoon soldiers through a mishmash of a battlefield
Just look back at reveals of previous BF titles. They had explosions n such but it was over bearing
BC2 took the cake for its time having multiple trailer bits with humour
Rather than the actual Battlefield
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.
The best bits of the Bf1 trailer were the vehicles and infantry charging together
Imagine making a normal ww2 game
Dice:
And the shots of the terrain

Bf1 was better than bfv
@uneven hollow 
The problem with the BFV reveal trailer was that they tried doing something different without letting the community know
And also it was shite
day 1 twitch stream was absolute cancer
Oh no, they tried to let you know.
They just did a terrible job at actually letting you know.
Aren't they supposed to idk
Tbh the trailer was weird like why where they in a game mode
Get beta testers
And pilot audiences
To see if their game is shite before they release it
Shouldn’t it be a video trailer an not a in game trailer
@uneven hollow Thats not the first time thats happened. BC2 had trailers like that where it turns out the characters are in a match
Are we roasting the bfv reveal?
Yes
It roasted itself

We're just putting fuel on the fire
Cant fight that
we're pouring fuel and throwing tnt at it
But BC2 did it right tho right or did it fail???
We have a list of all the trash that happened?
@uneven hollow BC2 did it right
After I hit tier 40 in chapter rewards then the game will be dead for me. The music will live on.
Bad Company 'did it right' because they made their intentions with it clearly evident.
@uneven hollow Check this one out from BC2
I mean if bfv was anime then I wouldn’t mind
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.
Thank you mike I’ll check it out
No problem. BC2 has couple more to look at to
Also fun fact: because of this, DICE still doesn't understand why people love Bad Company.
They legit asked the community at one point!
DICE doesn't understand why people liked Bad company despite many people saying it to their face
Well to start: Balance
Ignorance at its finest
LOL I JUST KILLED SKMEONE WITH THE TITAN
Classes were extremely specialized and balanced in BC2
BC2's fatal flaw was baserape
It was lightning in a bottle & it always starts with the right people being at the right place at the right time.
You deserved getting base raped if you got there, though
Bad Company was, for the most part, about as sandbox-y as Battlefield got.
So was sbf3
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...". 
The destruction was off the charts
Too many armchair analysts.
Not necessarily. BC2 had a static single spawn spot that made it extremely easy to zero in on to kill a base spawn player
Damn Hydra, you gotta tell me if you're drop numbers like that!
Remeber when attack helicopters circled one spot spamm rockets?
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).
My fifth-grade maths skill need a warning shot first mate!
Tbh. That was a good transition from video to gameplay
the jab at Hardline will always make me laugh
@uneven hollow Thats good market tactics
Hardline was unbalanced but it was fun.
It also had one of the series few good stories.
2 years on, and there are still day one bugs
Admitedly, by ripping off procedurals but nevertheless.
Hardline's fatal flaw was its weapons balance and loadout mechanics
plus immortal objects
Hell, Hardline's campaign actually had a great stealth system!
But Hardline was an offshoot from a B-team.
Not a B-team. Anotehr studio.
And it still "wasn't bad"
Visceral, the guys behind Dead Space.
Visceral got handed a raw deal cus they got Axed by EA shortly afterwards
And don't worry, for their efforts they were promptly shut down.
EA: Good job Visceral, now die
Their Star Wars project too.
They got fucked because EA doesn't understand that AAA single player games need big budgets
Thanos snap
Apparently nobody wants an open world action-adventure Star Wars RPG
And they still wonder why people freaking hate them?
Oh right, EVERYBODY wants that
Correction. Random people in charge that don't have a connection to the market didn't want it
EA are tone deaf corporate suits
And then they were blown away when Fallen Order sold like hot cakes!
Suits need to stop meddling in the affairs of the dev teams. Just sit down and count beans
It humors me though that for all of its faults, Fallout 76 will end up being a better, more favorable game than BFV
Probably because they didn't bail out.
Because the F76 road-map for content stretches into 2022
Hell, BF4 and Battlefront 2 recovered!
and cuz they put in more effort to fix it
Why u think those businessman care your feeling? People spent tons of money at shitty game/loot boxes
Yes, but DICE LA fixed those games
Still under DICE's banner.
isnt fo76 an mmo so theres no sequel in sight for a long time to focus on
And DICE LA is off working on a new IP under Vince Zampella's leadership
Yep.
Well maybe true but they could’ve abandoned it tho
Since everyone was taking a shit at it
that new IPL: combatlocation
I recall that part of the world started to crack down on lootboxes due to the gambling nature
But Bethesda was like: ha ha Ima keep updating the game
My guy, Respawn hit us up with a Medal of Honor VR game.
Then EA tried to rename lootboxes "Suprise mechanics"
yeah. pretty sure laws were put in place bc of it
Then Todd was like who’s laughing now
i dont even have A VR set
Me neither. It still looked great.
should be cool tbh
My guess is that new game is going to be Star Wars, but the rumor is that it is a new IP entirely
This is one thing CoD microtransaction got right. Make a set, put it in the dlc shop so anyone can freely buy it.
BF die. MOH back.
i think their next game is actually that medal of honor vr game though?
Which is just so ironic.
or do they have 2
oh i see
They're also doing better than most on the triple-A scene.
Rapid growth can be a detriment
And for that, are actually well respected.
They have good leadership
So im guessing nows the time to redownload bf1?
On the whole, they've got a good everything (setting aside that time a dev called people who play a F2P game freeloaders)
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
THANKFULLY! I never uninstalled BF4 and 1
That was pretty much the terms of brining Vince Zamepella in as DICE LA lead.
how did they not know
They had long played support and proven their worth, Zameplla the same with Respawn.
Sounds like a match made in heaven.
Respawn was literally like - "oh by the way, we want to release this Free2Play BR game next week"
Basically
woah
Respawn did what we like to call a pro gamer move
that impresses me more than it should
Yes respawn just dropped Apex and it succeded
They created the original Medal of Honor
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.
Tbh now that I think about it bfv could’ve been worse
They were involved creatively
They make it because they want to get budget from EA. and...they make a great game accidently
They did lead Call of Duty 4 and MW2
what do u mean released out of the blue?
Nope, they were basically trench runners on it until they got pissed and founded Infinity Ward.
Like they didn’t do trailers or anything
They'd then IW over royalties owed and create Resapawn.
They where like behold bfv at released
There was a lot with that big 2009 lawsuit.
Activision kicked them out
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
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.
battlefield 6 is going to be a very hard sell
people arent going to forget how badly they fucked up bfv
I also love how they use Source Engine and Unreal 4
for some reason i like the pp-2000 better than most other near-zero recoil guns
arent gamers notoriously bad with boycotts
Depends
its not a boycott its just a total lack of trust
BFV was relatively successful since the game officially only sold about 7.4m units
since dice basically destroyed their reputation
people are gonna remember this
BF1 understand sold 23m units
boycotts doesn't work in gaming
BF4 I think sold almost 20 by the end
boycotts dont work because the people yelling on the internet is the most vocal minority
yup agree
So sub-8m units is a big drop off for a AAA FPS
most gamers dont follow internet forums and stuff
u r not right m8
who

no but gamers will pay attention to dice basically shutting down development of one of their flagship games
BF4 was saved by the $15 premium edition that was being sold in 2015
well a big part of the gamers are usually active here in discord or reddit so..
tbh "live services" and "roadmaps" have become such a joke 
agreed
Unless you're CS:GO or R6
or warframe
Or Overwatch
if they have any brains they wont do live service ever again
Or Fortnite
since bfv shows they are horrible at live service
I've been playing BF1 these days on the Xbox and surprisingly they are full lobbies
Or any competent successful franchise
and the game is just fun
"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
live service requires the devs and team to be committed to it, bf2 is prolly the best example of dice properly executing it
live service also gives them a way to pull the plug on a game without breaking any rules
On just Steam, lol
bfv is a bit harder for live service considering the map sizes and complexity of the game
battlefront 2 is still surviving with the devs releasing content for the fans thats been playing the game since day 1 lol
And the incompetence of the studio and publisher
bfv was a total mess even before the game release
battlefield 5, works better with dlc because of the nature of maps, content waves, etc.
incompetence from the only dev team making bf like games?
i dont know whos in charge of dice but ea needs to do some serious looking over at whos running dice
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
the closest bf competition is IW with warzone and thats shit
They seemed to hit off off pretty well in the past - for the most part
Apparently it’s the new guard who came into charge when a bunch of the old souls left.
"bad game bla bla bla kill this off bla bla bla"
Thats why I hate 90% of clickbait youtubers
Look at Anthem
a lot of the old guard have been there since 1942. dont blame them
EA owns dice so i think EA told dice to end the support for the game.
Yikes
i mean
dice could have just
you know
not messed things up
@soft juniper Dice killed off bfV because the team that manages it is very lazy most likely
maybe not rush a game
Like, really delay it
people with face value assumptions thinking its really that simple
Yea its also another reason
Like, hey we need 4-6 months
and EA also likely wanted a end date as well sat
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
It really is that simple
doubt
Don't release an unfinished game
actually i dont even doubt
the team behind bfv or at least the people in charge are either incompetent or lazy
i know its not as simple as you guys lead on
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
You're just being an apologist
he is just old
bunch of consumers acting like they know whats going on when they are likely still in school or work some basic ass job...
ea has some of the blame
but in the end dice is why bfv is why it is the way it is
I mean look at CD Project Red and Naughty Dog
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
@dense bone what are you talking about
nyphon just stop
They seem to hit home runs pretty steadily
cdpr nor nd make games as complicated as bf
wut
hitting home runs is not as simple as making a game
You know, you don’t have to be a gourmet chef to complain that the soup was warm
I'd argue they make far more complicated games
Nyphon are you a game developer
gamingcirclejerk user?
they make games that are even more complicated than bfv you shmuck
DICE needs to use better software
or ever worked on modding
nyphon you need to get off your high horse
nyphon, are you having a stroke? because you dont make sense
Why do you think Respawn refused to use Frostbite?
is that why the game is so buggy?
the engine is buggy, but apparently the only engine that can handle bfv in the first place
You mean the “no better software” that Anthem was built on?
wheres bfv competition otherwise?
That's BS
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
frostbite is good if its used right way
i mean read
nyphon is being dumb
Lack of competition has nothing to do with software
The same can be said for any engine
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
im getting massive "im an angry consumer and love this circle jerk going on against a company i bought a game off of"
It's just that historically they've nailed the formula
but the bf5 engine couldnt run witcher either
nyphon is actually a spy from dice
probably
don't assume words for anger
Unreal 4 can run literally anything
im just a consumer, just like you guys
most of the things wrong with bfv are inexcusable
Unity can run anything
but i dont try to act like i know exaclty what happened
ego much
Neither do we?
what are the things wrong that are excusable
Unreal cant run BF
if i buy a product and it sucks i have right to be angry
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
you arent real consumer if you dont know that
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
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
's post-prime life is going to be like compared to
, which I can STILL find full to near full servers on
of every game mode with the exception of extremely rare to find Air Assault.
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
im not sticking with any of yall
doesnt mean more dev time will solve its problems...
i think ur all wrong and right in some extent
no shit
its been 1.5 post launch and they have worked on it and there are still problems...
I didn't say lazy, but there was gross incompetence from leadership
@strong swift Is/was Air Assault that bad of a game mode?
so that means they ar ebad devs @dense bone
Nyphon bugs are super easy to fix
if they cant fix it it stil
@lilac umbra youre way more likely to get banned than i am
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
it is
barely any time is required to make models and textures lol
saying dont buy something you dont like it just logic
Calling people uneducated?
its a stupid pr move
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.
But not for long. COD is happily stepping up on their turf
@errant root if they are uneducated thats their fault
Saying you're on the right side of history?
...
if you say "nydar sights didnt exist" when they did you are uneducated
nyphon please stop
credit where credit is due the dude who said "dont buy it" had some balls but was simultaneously stupid
You've got to be trolling
stop trying to play the victim ffs
you're just defending dice at this point for no reason
I still bought the game, lol
you guys bought into a product and complain they didnt tuck you into bed
But holy fuck was it unfinished
@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?
lol cus it seems like it
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
And reviews overwhelmingly agreed on that fact
you can complain you didnt get what you wanted, doesnt mean you deserve what you want
i mean
people want more free content
I just wanted a proper WW2 game, lol
congrats?
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
helle everyone
@errant root they told you you werent getting a standard ww2 game
Greetings citizen
"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
@limber lily its not super easy fixes lol
it is very easy fixes
we still on this
yes
are you bringing up more quotes that you cant actually source @errant root ?
Just because people hope for 1942 doesn’t mean they expected BFV to be that
They didn't say that it would be polished
this is entertaining ngl
nyphon is just defending dice because consumers bad
bugs arent that long to fix, its the amount of bugs that take the time @fossil heron
a lot of em are
Listen, I haven't lost all faith in DICE, but they need to really get this next game right. Take all the time that you need.
Bro making a triple A game isnt easy
omg that isnt my point
@fossil heron it is to these people
what are u talking about
i just made one five minutes ago
nyphon
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
how many mp games are there with 64 people, top of the line graphics/audio, destruction, with infantry and vehicles?
plenty
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
I mean Post Scriptum is 50v50
its almost like other bf games have more content and less bugs
but apparently this one is ok
And you can fit Hamada into one map 6 times
PS only has 50v50, not the other elements
In some cases they're a fucking bitch to fix
And the netcode is solid. Optimization is solid.
I still think on the PR side of BFV, that was absolute shit compared to previous titles
@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
@strong swift older titles had a slew of bugs but people stuck around long enough for dice to fix them
they also had more cotnent
with paid for dlc?
It has tanks. It has gravity based ballistics.
go figure...
wow its almost as if live service is a bad idea
BFV its the first game DICE have bailed out during a cycle
@fossil heron they didnt really debug anything thats the problem
@errant root no destruction, no air/sea vehicles, and definitely not top of the line graphics either
Dice stockholm bailed on bf4
Those things are all coming to the game
@strong swift agreed, but theres clearly a difference why one game has less content when its free
DICE LA stuck around though
It's in early access
@errant root when they do then tell me to compare the
@limber lily they did. There's still a couple bugs but for the most part they're gone
otherwise its not a competition
bro theres still loads of bugs what do you mean lol
I don't understand how you regress
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
How do you have such a rock solid foundation, and take 3 steps back?
Name a couple more?
management
i mean a lot of people from dice probably left
Bfv's base foundation is a platform made out of toothpicks
How do you have such a rock solid foundation, and take 3 steps back?
@errant root become a game dev and figure it out and tell us
the whole ship of theseus problem
A lot did leave
theres the bug where your lander goes insane @fossil heron
stuttering lagging despite good ping invisible guns bad netcode
But they left during the trainwreck that was BFV
BF's has a solid foundation but BFV's was toothpicks
Tanks been fixed
Battlefield 1 wasn't perfect, but it was a complete and polished game.
with great marketing
i had it yesterday
tank repair hasnt been fixed
are you sure its fixed
I don't think ANYBODY expects perfection
you guys seemingly have 10x more bugs than i ever had
They said they fixed it lol
battlefield v had probably some of the worst marketing ive ever seen
I only have the end of game report
everyones battlefield flashbacks
like i havent seen such bad marketing before
game has rarely been "broken"
mustve been 2 bugs causing it then lol
The few trailers that followed the reveal were nice
Only issue i have. I think their live service failed
The game is still broken, lol
i dont remember seeing any marketing for the game aside from the trailers
How many day one bugs persist?
but ive come to learn most peoples definition here for "broken" is theres a few annoying bugs
there was one with a foggy look and one with a black vig outlay so that may be why @fossil heron
The marketing wasn't horrendous
broken IS a game that doesnt function, at all
it was
not a small bug that is annoying
I mean Fallout 76 functioned at launch
I think what killed BFV was the lack of players to support a live service model after dealing with bugs from a dated engine
Not well, but it functioned
borken is when you get stuck after dying because bug
BFV's Worldwide premier trailer was atrocious but the follow up ones were nice. Pacific trailer being the best one
@near kelp no its not
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
broken is not being able to play the game
i think what killed BFV is the lack of content for free players
The Pacific showed that they had it in them.
yes it is, because you know, it broke
Then came 5.2
People still whining about muh women
Someone BF1?
@fossil heron i mean lack of players because the live service was really bad
well honestly
The engine is old and bfv shows that it needs to be improved
imagine being mad that someone told you not to buy something you dont like
what a joke
bf5 isnt honestly dead but its being abandoned most likely for a reason
people will get bored if the live service is so slow
and stuff keeps getting delayed
I don't really care about the women, just don't call it historically accurate - way too many mixed messages in the initial marketing
and the ttk gets changed
Too many buzzwords
@strong swift it was slow because of the bugs
"dont like it dont buy it"
"WHAT?! how dare you tell me such logic!"
@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
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
But it's not an insult
^
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
his job is to get people to buy it
They told you not to buy it
i think most devs would probably say the same thing. theyre just not supid enough to say it out loud
but telling you not to if you dont want to is not a problem for anyone but him
They didn't call you stupid
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
because you are an idiot
sensitive as fuck as self victimizing
no, we liked the idea, they just keep insulting us
I think people just wanted a grounded WW2 Battlefield game that was respectful to the source material
doesnt mean you take offense to it
Not whatever agenda it was they were trying to flail around
bad business practice =/= insulting to consumers
I wasn't offended
their the same thing
they are
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
unless you are marketing a sadomasochist game
I just thought they were tremendously stupid
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
oh stop
nyphon stop talkign down to people
stop being so sensitive and trying to play the victim
Its illogical to tell consumers not to buy your product
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
No, but they get to be mad when they're called uninformed sexists for knowing basic world histories.
@limber lily i know it would be boring
so why did dice try to claim they were being historically accurate
yall getting annoying
Think of the cancellation as them turning their attention to the next game
And that is what people were mad about @dense bone
Or most of it
no i'm thinking of the cancellation as them abandoning the game
@rigid bramble people have literally just said they are mad they got told not to buy something they dont like
instead of trying to fix it
whats the point of constantly complaining about dice and bfv all day
They're not flat out dropping support
no new content after june
We'll probably get bug fixes
@strong swift dude
We don't need new content
Id prefer both
People complain because there actions are futile
If it results in shit like the type 2a 2.0
In a community as big as Battlefield, you're going to get a sample set for a variety of reactions from the smallest of things to the biggest of things. And people honestly offended by that, aren't worth your frame of mind @dense bone
Every movement starts with a word
no eastern front or retaking of europe?
we dont need new content?
And then people start going off about that
literally half of ww2
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
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.
It is just that having them there is extremely out of place
hmm
My whole armory is misakis
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
misaki=waifu
Female avatars could of been handled better coming later down the pipe. Misaki is waifu bait fight me
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
how many times a day are we gonna have this convo
forever
yes, people love history
thats why i left the subreddit
@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
till theyre mot horny enough
A long ass time
Well this is my first
I kind of like what they did with BF1, where you’d get a random character every time
people cant comprehend last major content drop
@solid hinge there is no new content after summer update. They confirmed it on official twitter
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.
But keep it BF4 style
BF1 handled bringing the ladies on to the field in a stylish way that didn't rustle jimmies much.
yes
because the bf1 addition of women was historically accurate
it was more believable
you don’t see female Italian machine gunners flying planes
that actually happened
@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
BFV failed that
whats better than winning a grand operations with devastation end of round theme playing around
that theme is dope
bfv has good music
the best part of the game
anyway, what do you guys think of the live service thing?
I'm sorry, hearing high pitched screams and seeing female Marines on the shores of Iwo Jima absolutely breaks immersion
I'm not uneducated, it just didn't happen.
Immersion will always be broken or broken swiftly
yeah
Hopefully they have enough data to improve it if they go for a life service next game
they wont
americans running around with soviet weapons in iwo jima
god the medics guns are soooooo fast
live service is fine but I feel like there was too much time between major content drops
They just don’t know how to do it rightly
makes me annoyed at close quarter maps so much
like in bf1 all of the smgs and hip firing lmgs
shit pre eor theme is playing let me play x100 times better
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.
if you want to make a historically inaccurate game thats fine
but dont try to claim its an accurate game
But if we're in a fictional conflict, say 10 years in the future.... It's believable.
the automatico is a godsend for us console plebs lol
@strong swift they said WW2 like you've never seen before
V couldve been the biggest thing
the graphics the music the intense brrakthrough
thats just pr talk
If the next BF title could have a Misaki that kinda cute. That'd be great thanks 
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"
No that was the tag line for the game lol
if dice wanted to go historically inaccurate they should have just gone full alt history
the most immersion breaking thing in bfv was that the japanese didnt have giant enemy crabs
I'm surprised they didn't look at/copy other live service models that have been successful
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.
do you guys think pre eor and eor music will return
they can save bfv by selling us misaki body pillows
I agree tho. They should of went full alt history
just cause something works for one game doesnt mean it will work for another
I don’t care history shit. I just want to shoot some ww2 guns
thats how i feel tbh. history is fun but i dont mind it taking a back seat
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.
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?
smg08:)
im fucking pissed we still havent found a hellriegel
I have premium
This is why BFV's pitches failed.
"WWII like you've never seen before" Proceeds to do all things pertaining to alt history
cmon keep looking
@warped rivet v o n k l u c k
There's 3 in existence.
Yes. Just filter to DLC maps or expansions @solid hinge
Only 2 are assembled
imagine a tank superiority game mode where the germans call in the prototype maus for 40k
Only one was ever fired
There's no hellriegels in existence
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
it’s probably on some austrian farmer’s wall
The graphics aren't even that good either, at least compared to BF1, ray-tracing is such a useless effect too
i haven't seen any other game where buzz words were looked at so closely you could see the ink
Theres a picture of one
But they ordered 30,000 of them into production
That or search Premium into the search or filter bar @solid hinge
ray tracing + BF1 details would look great
One is in a museum
theres no ribeyrolles either
@strong swift thats over and done with, why constantly bring it up
If they took Wolfenstein's approach to ww2 with the axis winning/curb stomping they would've had some fun designing guns and vehicles
Thats not true
The other is in pieces somewhere
ray tracing makes bfv skyrocket way ahead of bf1 imo. it looks fantastic
No
The 3rd is privately owned
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 
there's so many reflective areas in bfv. from water puddles to your gun to the windows of a building
battlefield wolfenstein would be great i'd play it
@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
@strong swift im talking about the "but no they instead called people uneducated when they complained about female "
So... Battlefield except dual wielding?
that would be fun
wolfenfield?
battlestein?
steampunk bf1 would be good
yessss
V is amazing wish it was the same in content wise ans decision wise
Wolftenstein gunplay always felt pretty meh to me.
the lack of ju-52 is the worst part about bfv
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
kamerade let us invade France using this c-47
i meant like in style of wolfenstein
you know alt history
like control
When did BF4's Final Stand take place at? 2021?
@solid hinge Calling the consumer base uneducated was a dumb move despite being somewhat right. Still should of never been said aloud
always gotta protect the brand
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
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
shreiking woman add absolutely nothing to the game only hurt it and if that makes me misogynist guess i'm misogynist
Officially there's one Hellriegel in existence - unofficially there's
But officially none of them are 100% OG
or just not care
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
And because production was basically destroyed, the official built number is unknown
it takes me out of the game when i see the japenese anime character or here the british woman it's stupid
eLo oL fWeNd
Should have just done alternative history WW2.
i didnt care about the women tbh, i cared more about the biotic cricket bat wielding front line british problem
COD WWII has women too
COD WWII is a hollywood game
cod ww2 is even worse than bfv
But then the controversy hit its half-life, just like it did with BFV.
i thought cod ww2 was okay
when the Germans kill your husband so you buy a tank yourself and enact revenge
literally no redeeming qualities
WW2 was bud, but it was polished
cod2 best ww2 cod
A polished turd
People still bought it
