  If this is basically battlefield 3 + I will happily spend the money and time playing a battlefield again.

  If this has any of the BS that made 2042 suck so much ass I will be skipping it.

  I miss having a solid battlefield game to play, but I’m not going to take any bullshit included. I don’t wanna see any fuckin wingsuits. No grapple hook Tarzan mother fuckers. No wall hack BS.

  I want 4 classes. I want team objectives. I want maps that look like shit by the time a match ends because everthing has been pretty much been leveled by explosives.

    Honestly. Leave it to EA to take what was a winning, recurring formula and shitting on it til irrelevancy. The fast, twitchy movement, weird tools, etc are not what made BF fun. You’re supposed to feel like a cog; nothing special, another soldier in your small squad looking for the small wins. Those don’t get clip farmed, though, and it’s a CoD/Warzone economy right now. I do have some hope with the gritty WW2 games like Hell Let Loose and Enlisted seeing some success, it’s swinging back out of that type of genre and back to the BF roots.

    Question remains, the big issue may be progression and the definitely happening micro transactions and battle pass, and their implementation.

      Yeah this is EA we are talking about here. I have my expectations below the ground, but I remain open to the idea of being happily surprised lol

  Battlefield will not return officially until the Battlefield Friends make a comeback. Dip dip potato chip

  Me, thinking I can probably give them feedback I hope they listen to, having played Battlefield since 2142 and Modern Combat:

  EA: There are 200k users in line ahead of you

  Well I guess they must not have wanted my feedback anyways? Probably they’re just looking for fake positive feedback to stroke their ego as they move in to ruin yet another Battlefield title.

  Battlefield players are similar to most other gamers, really. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We love playing a game with the same formula, as long as the formula works. Bad Company 2 and the games that preceeded it worked. BF3 worked. BF4 worked after they fixed it with numerous patches. BF1 was the beginning of the downward trend, for various reasons. Some people may have liked BF1, but there is no denying that it was very different from BF4, and many users chose to stay on BF4, even to this day. Lots of people playing BF4, at least on PC. I almost always have to wait in a queue to join a server, and once I join the server is consistently full at 64 players.

  They could literally recycle nearly the exact same gameplay from release to release, making new maps, minor adjustments, and changing the setting / graphics, and Battlefield players would be happy. Its crazy how they have managed to mess this up so reliably.

    I’m not sure having a rate limit on signups means anything for what kind of users they’re looking for. The site was actually down last night probably from the sheer amount of traffic hitting it.

      I am nearly certain it is getting botted. No way that many people want to get in for Battlefield Labs just to tell DICE how to make a game. Its been consistently over 200k since about an hour after it opened.

      BF4 guns felt great except when your opponent was using a shotgun. The bullet drop on long rifles was nice and predictable, even if it was unrealistically strong. But the long rifles themselves were powerful too. I was the biggest fan of Assault class weapons, but I ended up always playing Engineer and using PDWs because vehicles were so massively overpowered and if you were any class other than Engineer you were basically dead if you were in an area with no cover and a vehicle saw you.

      Playing against a helicopter whore with a 245 kill streak is not fun. Especially when small arms fire does nothing to the helicopter in the game, but in real life the thing would have been demolished by small arms fire. Im not saying it needs to die in a single RPK mag like in BF Vietnam, but at least give players who play any class except Engineer some options.
