If it's some kind of alternate era WWI with extra tech but also lots of zeppelins that'd be hott.

Kinda like Crimson Skies.

The key thing being zeppelins.

ZEPPELINS.

Its going to be sorta goofy if the main perspective for single player is that of an American soldier. While we were involved with production and sending troops to Europe, WW1 seemed like the juiciest conflict between Germans/Austrians versus the Russians, English, and French.

No matter, nothing will top All Quiet on the Western Front when it comes to WW1 media  :brazilcry

I think it would be fair or neat if the commander on the team can steer or move a Zeppelin, with support guns and cannons that can be used by other players. It would make sense if Zeppelins were spawn points like carriers/cruisers were at sea in battlefield 1942.

Zeppelins being a mobile or aerial spawn point on land maps that don't have sea combat would be good to see.

My biggest beef with Battlefield 4 was how much shit was crammed in the game. With this setting there's only so much you can do for weapons and gadgets. If they dial back the ADD styled class/character creation system and amp up the spectacle, its a win win.

Like, you won't need to worry about equipping a barrel, a muzzle flash, a flashlight, what type of magazine, the sight, on 90 different weapons. If this Battlefield is pick up and play, more so than Battlefield and CoD in the past few years, I'll be happy.   

Shit, vehicles returning to simple shit in general is already a good thing. If its Bad Company 2 styled customization with a lot more options, that would be the best outcome possible.

Actually, Final Stand had easter eggs as a "prequel" to 2142. So you could say technically it's been done.

And Bad Company 2: Vietnam's maps weren't totally awful or bad. Just really bad balance in regards to guns and mortar strikes and the like. But that was an issue in Bad Company 2 proper as well.

For a whole lot of reasons, WWI has been put in its own special sphere and it has resulted in the overriding belief that it is not a gaming design friendly setting whatever the genre (the field is equally dry in strategy/wargames among a crowd of history enthusiasts)... but seeing the trailer convinced me it can work great in a Battlefield setting if only because close quarters dogfighting or planes being somewhat vulnerable to infantry fire actually make a lick of sense at that time.

Also, the Battlefield 1942/Vietnam/Battlefield 2 servers were axed since they were hosted by Gamespy, which went away. So now there are only a few private servers running and you have to put extra effort into joining some laggy ass server that's hosted in a country far from your own. You can't play old Battlefield easily anymore.

There have been way more modern Battlefields than anything else in the series, CoD has been on a 4 year bender of future shit.

Post by: benjipwns on May 08, 2016, 12:47:42 AM
One positive thing is it looks like DICE is aware there was more than one front in WWI and that only one of them was a trench warfare slog.

Verdun is a decently fun Western Front trench warfare infantry only take that I'm fine with DICE not focusing on it.

Although they absolutely should make a map where everyone plays on one team, and there's an hour long artillery barrage you have to hide from and then you're automatically forced out of the trenches and you run at a bunch of AI controlled machine gun nests through poison gas clouds. And that's just every single spawn.

Someone actually made a map like that for the Half-Life mod The Trenches. (Only the artillery was constant, and the spawns were all one way out from the trench so once you ran onto the map proper you were out of the trench.) And it was fucking awesome.

At least 2142 hasn't been reduced to DLC for other games like Vietnam.  :'(
Yeah, it's just a horrible single-player only experience now. (Technically, there's one server. There's also technically one server still up for Brink. Guess which one I actually have managed to play on more than once since 2014.)

Unlike 1942 and 2 which have people bothered to keep alive, and BC2: Vietnam which is still up and shockingly active for a paid DLC to a PC version. (Though it's been practically given away on Origin, and the key applies to the account or something, so it works even if you have it on Steam. And I think you can activate a Steam version on Origin.)

I don't have the original Vietnam.

Also, the Battlefield 1942/Vietnam/Battlefield 2 servers were axed since they were hosted by Gamespy, which went away. So now there are only a few private servers running and you have to put extra effort into joining some laggy ass server that's hosted in a country far from your own. You can't play old Battlefield easily anymore.

There have been way more modern Battlefields than anything else in the series, CoD has been on a 4 year bender of future shit.
2 actually is fairly alright last I saw. 1942 did get beat really hard by the Gamespy turn off though.

Kinda wish EA had said fuck it, with the two F2P BF2 spin-offs, and merged them over into BF2. (Giving people that game, and shifting the servers to run it. Since they were saying "fuck ur shit u bought" anyway by shutting them down.)

Huh. Interesting. I thought DICE-LA was nothing but the "CTE"/fixers now.
DICE LA was their way to promote some DICE guys and open another LA studio. And keep a bunch of the Danger Close people. (Ghost Games was a similar weird situation like that but with Criterion.)

I think their temporary role was just helping Visceral move off their tools onto Frostbite but wasn't intended as the long term one.

omg yes

getting onto the carrier on the Gulf of Oman in the BF2 demo back before people knew you could do it, putting C4 on crap and then blowing it up right before they got to the playfield  :teehee

Then when a WW1 game gets made and has a african american on the cover that totally makes sense. L O L.

Poland is one of the most ethnically homogenous countries in the world due to it's recent history, and it is in that reality that the author of the Witcher grew up and created his work. ANYHOO the topic was the stupid cover of BF1 and yet another instance of where the (African) American has to be the hero, even if that's not what happened.

This of course is totally accepted by American game journos and all kinds of politically correct people.

You might have a point if you know The Witcher didn't draw upon Slavic history,  but it does, so the fact that the author chose to whitewash his shitty books really can't be justified because he grew up in a bubble. Sienkiewicz is more progressive, which is kind of pathetic tbh.

I mean it's obvious there's bias in the selection and it may come from a UScentric point of view. But in the end it's a very peripheral issue. Messi on the cover of PES is not a statement that football is limited to spanish speaking countries... Battlefield is a multiplayer centered title, the campaign has little bearing on it all, honestly if the game is diverse enough in term of settings that would be fine by me.

And that's assuming games are supposed to be somewhat true to History, which in itself can be debated (though I do believe so).

Well yes, I never play Rush. I only play conquest and having the only 3 control points all next to each other in a nice neat line was shitty. Also very few of the maps had what I call "cool" areas.  Such as the TV station on Sharqui Peninsula. I hated the maps in BC2. Small and all clustered together. Not at all what I want from BF. I hate Rush.

I got my xbox code at like 2 in the morning. I'll post some impressions later today.
Title: Re: Battlefield 1
Post by: Stoney Mason on August 30, 2016, 10:12:03 AM
Early impressions.


- This probably isn't the best map for my first experience. It's a tank heavy sniper friendly map which are two of my least favorite things in battlefield.

- Looks nice as expected. Maybe not as nice as battlefront though...or at least only as good. Battlefront wowed me graphically. Maybe it raised the bar and battlefield one is just at that level now so its less impressive. Either way I'm not a graphics guy but just noting it. It's a bit blurry for my tastes on xbox one. I don't remember battlefront being that blurry.

- I like that the guns and classes are balanced situationally rather than having god guns for all situations

- Tanks are annoyingly powerful. And on this map in particular with not much cover that is doubly annoying. Dice claims they are aware of this but who knows with them.

- The default map sucks. After you play around a bit with the options you can get it to a decent quality but default its tiny and confusing. It's hard to spot things on it.

- Being able to vault over walls is cool.

- The UI in generally is a bit clunky. It's also buggy because of the alpha status. It's probably no worse than bf 4 but I guess I was used to that.

- People not showing up when they fire a gun on the mini-map is going to take some getting use to. Not saying I hate it or anything but it was such a huge part of bf3 and bf4 that it will take some adjustment to get use to.

Like I said really early first few games impressions. Haven't even tried Rush yet. I'll maybe post a longer thing later when I put in a lot more time.

edit: one really neat thing I forgot is that they allow you to change the fov on consoles which is pretty rare in shooters on that platform.

Title: Re: Battlefield 1
Post by: Stoney Mason on August 30, 2016, 10:24:24 PM
After putting in a decent number of hours today on the game I can say I'm not really a fan of the beta.

I still have the game pre-ordered and I'm assuming many of the issues will be cleaned up by launch by this beta leves a far worse impression in my mouth than the Titanfall Beta did.

Most of the issues I have are still the same as my earlier post.

The tanks are stupid op. The options you have to take them on without a traditional rocket launcher you can fire from any position feel under-powered and tedious to use. The tanks can be repaired by a person inside the tank!

Also you know what isn't fun when play Rush. A constant flow of dominant tanks on the map!

The menu interface and UI stuff is awful. It's hard to recognize what anything is. I can probably adjust most of this stuff in the options but why is that my job

The current medic system is broken. Partly due to implementation and partly due to UI issues. You will never be revived in this game as it currently is. NEVER

I hate hate hate this map. It's another DICE desert classic which means snipers everywhere and sprinkle a few huts on the map. I would so much rather be playing on that map from the alpha.

The glitchiness when vaulting and mantling from BF 4 is still here.

And to top it off the laginess that often surfaces in prior battlefield games is in full effect here also.


Like I said, still buying. But this beta is the first sign for me that this game may not end up being all I hoped for.

So not to be a complete negative nancy.... I like the horses.

I'm downloading it on Origin currently, so I'll see if I match your impressions Stoney. As someone that is a series fan, this is probably the first (if you don't count Hardline, which I don't) game in the series that I have very little hype/motivation to play. :lol

Apparently a lot of people are kinda sour to it, so it isn't just you. I'm just hoping that the Rush gameplay is fixed after the badly mangled management of that in BF3-4.

I just wish they would fix some of the core issues with their engine. Remember when you first tried to vault something in BF3 and it would glitch out and either not vault it or get you stuck in a repeating loop of trying to jump over that thing. How is that still a thing all these years later?

Or that huge lag spike that hits you in the early part of a game where it feels like the game has frozen for a second. That happens every single game at least once in Battlefield 4 and it still happens here.

There are dozens and dozens of things like this that just carry over from game to game and feel janky as fuck. They never fix them. They instead focus on stuff I either don't care about or that gets old after the first time. Where as these bugs all happen every single game over and over again.

Too bad the DDoS going on right now prevents that. The default anti-tank weapons are shit. I have no idea what DICE is thinking with choosing those.

Your later options aren't much better. You get a rocket launcher that you must fire prone or on a bipod. But since this is a desert map there is almost no where to bipod up on so you lay on the floor and shoot at it and pray nobody notices you.

You also have some non-sticky dynamite that is far worse than the C4 in Battlefield 4.

And you have anti tank-mines. But I think they disappear when you die currently unlike other battlefield games.

And none of those options are actually any fun.

Yeah, I just bought all the kit items (but none of the weapons and defo. not the melee stuff, fuck that right now) to see that stuff. The good thing is since they have the option to buy the unlocks this means my ammocrate and medikit AoE that are the "classics" can be unlocked quickly.

I'll see about the the rocket-launcher thingy later tomorrow maybe. But I seriously don't like the starting loadouts for the classes besides medic (which is the way it should be with the only change being the AoE box). It just feels wonky with this map.

Just started downloading. Glad they learned from the Hardline betas which were like 30GB in size and would disappear from Origin (though now they're all back in my account and expired!) and never "installed" themselves properly so you had to just delete the folder. :lol

Maybe that's just a DICE vs. Visceral thing.

Is this the same map from the earlier "closed" (yet everyone was getting access) beta like a month or so ago?

Also, do the Zeppelin carcasses stay on the map yet?

The funny thing is that because they became the "Engine House" for all of EA they don't "start over" with new Frostbite versions anymore like they did for BF3 (which is why it dumped a bunch of stuff from BC2 and imo has since run jankier...even when I look at a side-deal, C or D team game like MoH's MP (fork of BC2) vs. Warfighter's MP (fork of BF3)) and then again for BF4. So you'd think they would be fixing these things back up the toolchain, especially since Garden Warfare, Battlefront, etc. are all using it for shooters too, and Mirror's Edge is using it for freaking Mirror's Edges gameplay.

You're completely right. And bizarrely the Claymore/Tripwires stay persistant on death (with a limit of 2 or 3 I think). Who at DICE green-lit these design choices? :doge

The more I play this, the more angry I get at how the gunplay feels "off" compared to the past 4-5 entries (even BC1 has better gunplay.  :doge :doge ) and balance (those tanks, that anti-tank option). The map itself is whatever to me, because I'm one of the few that doesn't mind the desert maps DICE makes. But the map doesn't help hide the obvious design choices that are bad for the launch.

I went from completely "meh, I'll probably get it at launch" to "meh, I'll get it when Premium Edition comes out for $60 in 6 months, hopefully by then the game will be better balanced." Which is shameful for DICE since I pre-ordered BC2, BF3, 4 (skipped Hardline) and played the other entries in the series.

Post by: Stoney Mason on September 02, 2016, 02:39:28 AM
I played with a squad of friends tonight I've played with on and off since bf3 and they were even more down on the game than me by comparison which probably isn't a great sign.

For reference it is easier to take on tanks when you have a co-ordinated experienced squad with multiple assaulters and supports attacking the tanks and feeding you ammo but I just think that's a level of team play that is beyond your average pub game where everybody is doing their own thing.

I had more fun playing with the group but the game for good or worse is radically different than just about every incarnation of the game since Bad Company 1.

I got a lot more use to it tonight and had a bit of fun but I wish I enjoyed it more even when playing solo like other battlefield games.

The movement animations look like Battlefront. There are "hero" classes you can pick up. And the UI looks like Battlefront. There is definitely a battlefront influence going on although overall it has more Battlefield influences than battlefront.

Exactly where I am on it. Everyone screaming "BUT USE TEAMWORK!!!11!1" aren't understanding you aren't going to get that 99% of the time to where the tanks are overpowered because of it. They don't need to nerf the damage too much, but they need to make the converse side (the anti-tank) better. Either by doing more damage, or having the tank not able to self-repair, or both.

There are "hero" classes you can pick up.

To be fair, those are just "Battle-pickups" that BF4 introduced. The only difference here is they added Battlefront's damage reduction stuff to where the LMG can keep you alive pretty long against snipers.

The other disconcerting issue (or completely predictable issue I suppose) is how buggy this beta is. After the dumpster fire of a launch that bf4 was, you would think they would want to put out a real clean and polished demo. Instead the consoles versions are bugged beyond belief.

Yep, because the anti-tank options are bad. It's really boggling how DICE looked at the grenades and RPG and went "yep, those are totally fine against camping tanks." Then again... they don't troll each other in internal playtests to where I'm not really surprised that this got through unnoticed.

you'd think they'd more accurately try to represent World War I tanks/vehicles, they probably smashed up more barbed wire than shot people and blew things up...i don't think most of them had big guns like BF1's until the end of the war, and hardly any had all those turrets on these things

Quote
When the French used tanks for the first time on 16 April 1917, during the Nivelle Offensive, they had four times more tanks available. But that would not last long as the offensive was a major failure; the Schneiders were badly deployed and suffered 50% losses from German long-range artillery. The Saint-Chamond tanks, first deployed on 5 May, proved to be so badly designed that they were unable to cross the first line of German trenches.

the germans had regular bullets in use that would pierce the early tanks armors

Quote
Most World War I tanks could travel only at about a walking pace at best. Their steel armour could stop small arms fire and fragments from high-explosive artillery shells. However they were vulnerable to a direct hit from artillery and mortar shells. The environment inside was extremely unpleasant; as ventilation was inadequate the atmosphere was heavy with poisonous carbon monoxide from the engine and firing the weapons, fuel and oil vapours from the engine and cordite fumes from the weapons. Temperatures inside could reach 50°C (122°F). Entire crews lost consciousness inside the tanks, or collapsed when again exposed to fresh air.

To counter the danger of bullet splash or fragments knocked off the inside of the hull, the crew wore helmets with goggles and chainmail masks.

Post by: thisismyusername on September 04, 2016, 09:07:38 AM
K Bullets are supposed to damage tanks. Which they do. But 1) You have to be near other snipers (thereby letting the tank get a multikill) and 2) they do so pitiful damage it isn't worth it unless you and the other sniper(s) have like 7 of you going for it. The K bullets are useful for light armor, but at that point... you could just use like 2 RPG-clone rockets and be done with it. :doge

I think the game is fun, but in short bursts. I was able to play BF4 for hours and hours - which is rare with any game for me. But I can do like 2 or 3 conquest matches max with BF1.

I've been in only one game where the max score was reached, and that was only through total, systematic annihilation of the british.

The aerial combat is my jam, but fighting on foot is irritating at times. Feels like half the time I get the drop on someone, their squad member will spawn behind me just before I land the first shot and take me out after I get the kill.

lol at how fast the beta turned into "everyone plays sniper or similar" (i don't know what the role is called with the one british gun that's op cuz it got some crazy sights)

i racked up some kind of heals record in my third match just running back and forth throwing heal packs next to everyone camping and then throwing bandages to my squad (which is hot) gave me like a billion xp and i wound up first for the both teams on the scoreboard despite 17 kills and 31 deaths

the revive animation makes me miss actually reviving anyone because i'm trying to use it like the paddles...plus you can skip and respawn faster almost so it's pointless

after i got the default rifle's bullet drop down it's actually pretty illegal, i can snipe feggits off the mountain spire if i spot them first to get the icon up and they don't see me

i still love in battlefield on maps that allow it where some squad sniper wanders way off to the sides cuz he's prone and in scope most of the time so he doesn't really know where he is and barely ever shoots anyone so he barely ever dies, and i spawn up on him and charge towards the back of enemy lines and then the rest of my squad all spawns up on me and shit gets wrecked :gun :punch :gun

the internal resolution feature works way better than bf4's (or the call of duty's) did...i haven't played battlefront so if that was where they made a fix i wouldn't know...on bf4 i could tell instantly anything under 100% if i looked farther than 100 feet, this i got close to 60% before the distance became truly impossible to handle, and it didn't actually look that bad at 75% which surprised me

tho i've always been fine with 30fps in bf (or like...arma) for some reason, i think it's the general pacing, so let me turn off that "DIPPED UNDER 60" error message DICE or at least don't spam up the right side of the screen with like six of them, one is enough probably, having more than that just makes me aware of where your engine bottlenecks on weird stuff (like looking down the hall of a "building") and where it pulls off something crazy (like the sandstorm) with almost no hit

i suppose some of those might been the lag icons, though the two servers tonight weren't laggy at all compared to earlier in the beta despite that icon showing up

To let other snipers know where they are and counter-snipe if they can. The glare's been there since BF3 as a sort of "anti-camping" strategy, but there is ways to cheese it to where you can camp in a spot nearly forever if you don't shoot anyone and just spot with the primary gun quickly.

Title: Re: Battlefield 1
Post by: benjipwns on September 09, 2016, 09:10:50 AM
there was some barbed wire

it basically still operates on the tactics of BF from the start, small squad based engagements more than massed attacks

maybe other maps more accurately depict the massed waves attacks and such, the maps so far haven't even really had defense heavy positions

i think the iconic thing of WWI was how much the "fronts" were actual fronts that stretched for miles and ground gained was measured in slight shifts over days...also endless artillery

the weird thing is that other games, non-WWI games have done this...if you hold say a series of points in domination it should "create a front" and let you spawn faster or something as long as you spawn on the points or some other limitation

other than adding bots to "fill the space" (maybe something like when you hold a point and the two next to it, you get some bots who defend it only and are sitting ducks but provide resistence to "simulate" the defensive warfare along the "front") it's difficult to fill some of these giant maps to make engagements large scale, even Rush had massive leeway compared to BF3/BC2's more contained version

have they shown off any actual trench warfare gameplay maps since snoop dogg was wandering around lost in them? IIRC, even those didn't "create fronts" as much as standard BF play.

Playing the 10 hour trial on PC... I'm really enjoying this a lot. They're doing a lot of good quality of life improvements which are cool. Stuff like, showing the perimeter around the flag which you need to be in to start capping it. Showing your field of view in the minimap which narrows and expands when you aim. Showing a little gauge that indicates how many of each team is at a capture point.

And it feels real good. Reminds me of Bad Company 2 a bit.

I understand the trial is limited vs. the full release at least in maps. I hope also in weapons because there's only like 2 weapons to choose from for Assault. Also - I don't fully understand the customization stuff. There's multiple zoom modifiers but I can't tell if they are just literally zooming in your view? Does this game not have the weapon customizing the previous ones do? It's weird.

I know the trial at least limits the SP campaign to the first "war story". I kinda want to keep playing that. It's super hokey but I was interested in it. I like that it is a series of small stories of different soldiers.

All the guns are in the trial. There are just less guns compared to the last few games. Part of that is due to it being world war 1 and part of that is by design. They will add more during DLC and maybe some freebies down the road in general.

For the assault class there are 3 base submachine guns and 3 base shotguns. Within those you have variants on the base. Like the Automatico has  3 variants. Storm, Trench, and Factory. And those 3 variants are basically how you customize the gun as they each specialize in different areas of combat.

Some people don't like that coming from Battlefield 3 and 4 which were loaded up with guns and customization options. Personally I like it as it allows weapons to be unique versus having a million overlapping guns. It makes the combat much more logical for me when I go against other people in a rock paper scissors model.


Here is every weapon in the game.

Played for 4 hours last night with a buddy. The first hour was spent figuring out how to get in a game together (this is both our first experience with XBL on the One). After we did then it was spent figuring out how to talk to each other. Apparently the headset that came with my Xbox doesn't work because the microphone never did that working. After that I could not get into another multiplayer game for like 30 minutes. It was very, very frustrating.

Add this to the fact that my Xbox One controllers won't work wirelessly and I'm not too impressed with the ease of use factor of this Xbox vs the last one.

That said, in the beginning of the night we just got murdered over and over again, but by the end of the night we were communicating (via cell phone) and unstoppably capturing flags l and it was so, so fun. Stoney says this a lot, but Battlefield really is a different game when playing with friends. I didn't want to stop.

Best part of the night was me in an airship spotting people and bombing the hell out of them while he drove around in a tank below me capturing flags. Eventually my airship got shot down but that was a good 15 minutes of A++ gaming.

It was bloated, but a lot of it was hidden in the customization menu to where you didn't really need to worry about it unless changing mid-game. Here (at least by the beta, I dunno if they fixed it in the final) the accessories you put on the gun are hardlocked and so you have a "bloated" menu of the same gun just under a different name with a different loadout. It's :yuck

Customization isn't as bloated compared to BF4 and BF3, feels like a good balance between those two and Bad Company 2. In general, this feels like the next step after BC2 in design. Buildings and cover matter a lot with how the maps are laid out.

Gas grenades are one of the best tools at evening things out. Damage players instantly, force campers to hip fire reducing their ability to ADS, create barriers and traps instantly. Frag grenades are next to useless compared to the gas, people still haven't caught on how great gas grenades are.

There's a general feeling of spectacle and awe at all the shit going on, which BF3 and BF4 didn't really have.

Did they make the hip-fire not laser accurate? You can put the Support with Gas Grenades into the mask, and just laser PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW people to death while chucking the gas grenades in the beta. It was very very Battlefront-y IMO. It kinda made the gunplay feel "off" from BF3/4 for me. There's folks that say it's a Battlefront mod, and while I don't 100% agree, I can agree that gameplay-wise it does feel kinda Battlefront-y and not Battlefield-y.

ok? All BFs are fun. Hardly an accomplishment. I mean I guess, but I find it hard to be frustrated when 3,4, and now 1 are so much better than BC2. Battlefield 3's DLC maps were incredible. 4 had good base maps with pretty much every DLC pack save the navy one being good. So far for one only Suez sucks. Which is the most BC2 like map.

Maybe BC2 is good in Rush? I never play Rush because well it's a bastardizaton of what makes BF good. Either way BC2s conquest maps were terrible. The points were all close to each other, mostly in straight lines, and unimaginable in third approach.

They've done a lot better since.

Except that's the best one.

On a more serious level: BC2 is the peak of the series for overall gameplay. Conquest in BF3 and 4 were just as linear as the BC2 maps you oh-so-despise. Especially on console (next-gen/PS4 not-withstanding since it got "Conquest Large" but even then the Conquest maps had issues in terms of balance in 3 and 4). Go look at Grand Bazaar in BF3 or Zavod 311 Conquest (not Large) and seriously say with a straight face they aren't "BC2 level Conquest."
Title: Re: Battlefield 1
Post by: Rahxephon91 on October 23, 2016, 12:35:46 AM
Actually, I find the gunplay in the series to have finally hit it's stride with BF2. BC2 feels very stiff and hardly as quick and resposnive as 3 and on.

And I'm not sure how BF3's maps are at all like BC2. Pretty much all of the DLC maps have control points either spread out or carfully designed to the point where they just don't feel like they threw them somewhere on the map and said good day. And no I'm not talking about the vanilla maps in BF3 which are all pretty terrible on console and even then it's only Operation Firestorm thats better on PC.

4's base maps are even better than threes.

3's DLC maps.

BC2 Maps

http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/8/8d/BFBC2_AricaHarbourConquest.png

And so on. Pretty much all of BC2's maps are like that. They feel like straight lines and made to force people in one direction. Compared to the map design in 3,4, and now 1 where they don't feel that way at all. Plenty of control points to spread people around and have them go in different directions. Not hudled into the action. Yet, the maps never do feel possibly empty like Battlefield 2's could. Plus many of the maps BF3 DLC and on feel like they have interesting control points instead of whatever was going in BC2. BC2's maps are garbage for Conquest because they still feel built around rush.

Even zavod has it's outer control points to keep players busy away from the middle and they feel like you can hold them and not walk a few meters and be at the other control point unlike BC2's. And no I really dislike most of the base maps in three. Game did'nt get great until the DLC maps.

force campers to hip fire reducing their ability to ADS

Did they make the hip-fire not laser accurate? You can put the Support with Gas Grenades into the mask, and just laser PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW people to death while chucking the gas grenades in the beta. It was very very Battlefront-y IMO. It kinda made the gunplay feel "off" from BF3/4 for me. There's folks that say it's a Battlefront mod, and while I don't 100% agree, I can agree that gameplay-wise it does feel kinda Battlefront-y and not Battlefield-y.

I will say player health can feel pretty doughy with a lot of guns, where it takes half a mag or more to kill somebody. Battlefield has never had a similar time to kill compared to Call of Duty, but players are definitely doughy in this.

Hardcore mode and servers will definitely change the game dramatically. Friendly fire combined with the chaos and having less health will be pretty entertaining to see.

I'd say BF1 better than BC2. Pretty early to say that, but there's a ton of things that click for this Battlefield that haven't in a long time.

What made BC2 fun for me was discovering I could still have a blast playing BF not playing conquest and a limited amount of players on the servers.

Then new game modes were great and I spent a lot of time playing one mode that was like 4 on 4 defend/attack one point. I forget what it was called but it showed BF could be a small squad game and not just a massive, chaotic combined arms games game.

Game is very fun. It also looks freaking great which normally I'm not a graphics nerd but even on xbox, the game is beautiful. On a high end PC it would be insane.

I got it.  Seriously...the game has some stunning graphics.  Shows off what my new PC can do quite well.

I think the campaign is legit good. Certainly by Battlefield standards. I like that just about every mission is open world. I like that most of the missions provide a stealth option or a gun blazing option. I like that its 5 or 6 separate mini-campaigns so the story can't get extended stupid and just about when you are tired of one campaign it ends.

I think the British Tank campaign and the Italian campaign are the two standouts. Those are legit COD good levels but better in a sense because they are more open.

As far as the mp I think they hit a nice sweet spot of making a really addictive but accessible battlefield game. This will go down as one of the really fun ones.

Today I discovered you could change the load outs on the vehicles the same way you can with classes. I also discovered you don't have to spawn a vehicle as soon as you see the slot open up. As soon as you select it, you've reserved it. Then you can pick which type you want and it's loadout.

I played with a friend today and had him basically be a forward observer for me while I went on bombing runs. He kept getting so excited because it just "looked so cool" seeing me come in again and again and bomb where he wanted me to. I love this game.

I also played with the fighter today which is incredibly fast and maneuverable. It's like a fast version of the Zero in BF1942. It might not exactly be realistic, but it is a lot of fun to fly.

I only tried the british tank one and fucking hated it. It's a bunch of shitty scavenger hunts, often in deep fog or pitch black environments even with gamma at 100%.

I could not fly the jets in any of the modern Battlefields. They were just too fast. I got to where I could keep them in the air but never do anything useful with them.

These planes are much easier though because they're so much slower. Give them a try! These bombers all have a way to see where you are bombing with a type of bomb scope, but in BF1942 and in this one dive bombing works and I find it pretty easy from the trailing view with a little practice.

Basically you just fly up really high, point your plane down at your target, when you get close drop your bomb, then frantically pull up. The bomb should follow the path your plane was flying which is a steep angle down to your target. Good luck!

The only BF game I was good at flying planes was BF1943 on PS3. There was a good month or two my friends and I spent a lot of time playing and I pretty much exclusively flew planes.

In BF2 I spent A LOT of time flying helicopters. I tried in BF3 and 4 but found they nerfed them too much.

Takes practice. I can do it, but not super successfully. If you're playing Operations, it's even better as you can just use the huge blimp to practice in the bomber while doing damage and trying to get to grips on the turn speed and "runs."

I need to see if they separated the PC mouse sensitivity for flying so I can pull-up easier in the planes instead of having to drag my damn mouse like 5-10 times to get it to do a complete 180.

I like the new mortars because they added a smoke round and you can deploy them in more uneven terrain. The improved LMGs still aren't as good as the nerfed(!) BAR.

Knowing you can use the rocket gun while standing next to something to support it is game changing. And understanding how suppression actually effects players with scoped weapons completely changes my tactics on both ends.

New content is fun. I've played so much Battlefield though that I really only want to fly the tank hunter attack plane anymore. I've gotten where I can shoot down planes, take out vehicles, and kill people with ease now so why would I run around on the ground where I can get shot in the back?

Yeah DLC is pretty fun. The frontlines mode can be a lot of fun or a bash your head into the wall until it cracks experience. I was in a match that lasted over 60 minutes yesterday. I'm not sure if there is a timer on the mode or something. The hardcore seem to like to diss the game now and I can understand some of their complaints but I just think the game overall is fun. It's not as high skill potentially as the last few battlefield games (not that battlefield is going for some competitive experience) but I always enjoy myself when I hop on and play.

The timer is bugged. So enjoy your 2 hour Frontline matches. :lol

I got all the guns thankfully from that because with double-experience on, it racks up the points really fast for leveling. :doge

They're attempting to "fix the game" for things that don't need to be fixed, while ignoring things that do need to be fixed. :doge
