Still holding out on this. Don't really want to pay a great deal of money for it if there isn't that much in the way of 'content'. And by that, I mean maps, etc. as I couldn't give a fuck how many gun options I have (or cosmetic options).

I've heard that this is the best BF of recent years, and that it is going more towards a teamplay-oriented style, but I do wonder if a lot of the people saying this have much experience playing the older BF games, in particular BF2 and BF2142, which to me were the highlights of the series in terms of maps and the amount of teamwork that was encouraged by the game. I think it might have been Snowy who said this earlier in the thread: one of the things I don't like as much about the newer BF games is that it feels like you're constantly in a firefight. You don't have those moments of peace or 'safety' whilst travelling to objectives, or sneaking around behind enemy lines, etc. I used to love doing that in maps like Dragon Valley and Fushe pass. I think the lack of distance fog also doesn't help. I miss the days of going on a commando mission to destroy the enemy commander's assets in a helicopter or small boat. Or even assassinating the bastard if 'base-raping' was allowed on the server. :twisted:

I also miss the more specialised roles you were forced into, and how you had to accept some kind of nerf in order to perform those roles, e.g. the anti-tank soldier or the engineer. That said, medic was a bit OP on BF2 (hence why I played as one so much -_-)

So this game doesn't seem to be doing so great, its already had a couple of price drops just weeks after release. EA even offering a very large discount to previous BF game owners if they'll please just buy the game.

If I'm honest I'm not overly enjoying the game very much. The grind to unlock new gear is a real chore and I'm already bored with the small selection of maps. The time to kill is insane, it's a return to the die, get revived, die, revive bollocks from the older games. I should have given it 5 or 6 months to allow it to develop a bit more.

Looks pretty though.

I suspect I'm the only one here who still plays this :lol:

Anywho, the BF version of Battle Royale is out called Firestorm. The map is utterly beautiful I must say, a Norwegian fjord with little villages and lumber milks dotted about. Played a few games and it's ok so far, will plug away and see how it goes.

Got a few guys at work who want to give this a fair crack of the whip.
I think I'll try to jump on this this afternoon (oooh, still have Vampire masquerade to play yet too...)

They do make some very pretty maps I must say. Shame the game is currently running like dog shit on all platforms for a lot of people.

Great to see some new factions at last as well.

So the Pacific War is finally back in BF with the US and Japan as new factions. Iwo Jima is very pretty balls out with a beach landing and flamethrowers. The game is gradually clawing its way back to greatness, about time to.


They also announced the new BF game will launch in 2021.

it's just so realistic. Not a single woman in sight.

That said, I find it amusing that they clearly avoided putting women in the trailer.

The blood curdling screams of the female characters when they get shot is the most horrifying thing in the game.

So Dice have announced that they are ending support of the game in June. One last map and a few tweaks and that's it. Calling it quits on your flagship title 18 months before a new game will be released is pretty rough. We didn't even get D-Day, Eastern Front or Berlin, in a WW2 game!

Ah well probably for the best :cry:

Did they even bin BF1 this early, with a successor game already on the way?

I think they kept BF1 supported a few months before BF5 was launched. But then again BF5 was released well before Dice intended and they've been playing catch up ever since. Bad management, resources going to fix a botched Star Wars game, terrible PR, veteran staff mostly gone and fuck all content pretty much killed the game. Shame.

They just realised it still didn't hold a candle to BF1942 I reckon ;)

(Not that I have played BFV, BF1 was enough of a toe in the water to make me realise I had had enough of being insta-killed by someone with loads of gear)
