imo the main problem with BF1 was that they took too long to deliver the content. teh first DLC took roughly half a year to be shipped but in the same time we had already more maps in BF1 then we have currently in BFV.
BFV is just at the best of times mediocre under perfect circumstances. while BF1 for the most part was good. sure it had its problems but they are dwarfed by what we currently still have in BFV.
last week i met a dev in BFV and did some small talk with him and even he admitted regarding balance in BFV its just worse then any predecessor. but alas we are stuck with BFV for at least another 9 months so either we dig our heels in or leave for greener pastures because it won’t be a getting any better anytime soon
A sign of the times is the hubris of many established franchise developers who think that distancing themselves from the most dedicated fans of their series will somehow not result in a subpar product.

the guy in Blizzard who said the players think they cant Classic Wow but they dont. Now with Classic having more full servers than modern version of WoW that guy must be making a surprised pikatcu face
Well, here’s a toast to Bad Company’s awesome legacy! glasses klink
It was fun while it lasted!
Bad Company 1&2 were fun. Literally, that was what the devs said at that time. They were semi serious games that allowed them to inject some humor into otherwise uber serious designs. They had fun with them.
I felt that BF:BC2 hardcore was the best multiplayer ever, it murdered CoD even though it didnt come close to outselling it. It also had the superb Vietnam DLC.
They need to do some major soul searching before touching Bad Company
That came to mind after I posted. I steered clear of that one, didn’t even bother with the 1st
Hell, I still play Diablo 2: LoD over Diablo 3
All they’d have to do is copy paste BF4 and call it a day. I wish I was joking about that…
Well at least chapter five will be on time lololololol
People would call it a lazy reskin if DICE did that. I know I would.
We shouldn’t be begging for DICE to release the same game over and over again. This studio should be capable of releasing a game that is new, refreshing and of high quality. The fact that people are asking for older games to be remastered is a damning indictment of the state of BFV.
Every day, it gets harder and harder to see if this game will ever have a future beyond the upcoming holiday season.
I wonder how much better this game would be if everyone would just get behind the developers and give positive feedback. Like an old friend crying out cause things in their home aren’t going the way they should. Don’t we all have experience with that? Haven’t we all failed in some way? And we knew it too.. right? But there were tons of positive vibes that helped us be more confident and want to make changes based on what we learned from the mistake? Just imagine your next failure. People slamming you.. with no positive interaction. - you just have to wonder …
You know we tried that. Many of us have been here for years doing just that. We get ignored. If you’ve been here for years and haven’t come to the conclusion that this studio is completely out of touch then you’re probably out of touch too.
I advise you to get rid of the rose coloured glasses and see this studio for what it is, an incompetent one. They made their bed and now are seeing what’s its like to lie in it as this game isn’t only dying but it’s also becoming a meme.
Mainly people who didn’t like BF4. Most of the BF4 fans would though. There’s this messiah complex around BF3/4 that make people want remastered versions. I don’t want that myself, but it’s what the community has become. This is just what happens when a franchise becomes popular, people ignore the original players.
in 9 months time the game has not improved in any shape way or form.
-netcode is a mess
-stability is a joke
-performance at large across all platforms is bad even if compared to steam early access
-issues regarding cosmetics getting fixed within the hour while core issues are still very much alive and kicking 9 months in!
i do get that beating a dead horse is not constructive but if the dead horse keeps hitting you time and time again in the balls i’d give it another whack until it either stops or gets better.
DICE has done neither so far. for 9 months we are cycling trough the same old tale.
-content is promised
-content gets delayed
-content gets canceled altogether
we keep getting absolutely bombarded with lazy looking cosmetics that do next to nothing but break the little bit of immersion the game can generate at certain moments.
i haven’t even gone into the abhorrent “balance” if you can even call it that
Positive feedback requires positive actions.
It is not like we are able to see them trying, we only see the lack or replies and results as well as any meaningful interaction.
.
Also everyone makes mistakes, but repeating the same mistakes several times indicates negligence or worse
The definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
There are other massive devs that don’t seem to have these problems, so I’d bet DICE suffered the same problems that Bioware did
How anyone can even claim BFV hasn’t improved in any way at all is beyond me.
We, the players, complained about bad visibility, so DICE improved it.
Is it perfect, no, is it better than it was without going too far, yes I think most people think so.
Medics like yourself complained about lack of midrange fighting capability, so DICE added the M28 Tromboncino.
Recons requested some close range fighting power, so DICE added the PO8.
We players said Panzerstorm lacked infantry cover, so DICE worked on the terrain of the map to give better infantry cover.
People wanted Squad Conquest to be a permanent game option, so DICE made it permanent.
People complained about AP Mines, so DICE changed them so they can only function as an early warning system so to speak to tell you if someone is coming.
etc.
That would be EA !!
Thank you for the best laughs this morning! =)
Came here to show some appreciation for this post 
the issues i was pointing out and referring to (net-code/performance/stability) still have next to no improvements.
and what you are pointing out are things that should’ve been a no brainier to be there from the start yet you want me to give DICE a pat on the back for stuff we’ve been asking for 7 months for ?
im sorry but since when is doing the bare minimum something i should recommend ppl on?
