voice acting- ok so the first thing is the voice actor for the anouncer the women on comms isnt very interesting in her voice acting on i only heard her on the uk side i dont know if this is a place holder, but its kind of immersion breaking so id like if you got better voice acting there. very cringy to say the least
visual recoil- i dont now 100 percent if i saw visual recoil and by visual recoil i mean a massive animation that is very irealivent to where a player is aiming. now slight visual recoil is good but if its too much it can break the game
planes are really weak- i saw gameplay and the planes seem to be very weak i saw players disabling planes with one magazine. i dont know if its such a good idea to make them that weak maybe just tone down the damage bullets do to planes
radio chatter?- so i dont know if the soldiers in ww1 had any form of radios to communicate with each other if so the battlefield gameplay seemed to have no chatter at all. accept for the woman having voice acted terribly.
yes i know this is very early game play footage and many things can change thats why i made this small list. a couple of these are gameplay related and the the others are small details.
ttk- in my opinion this game should take on the bf4 damage model for balancing and consistency. meanng for auto weapons 5 hit kill if the ttk is faster then bf4 that is bad and very noob friendly. and to alot of people they are like “noob friendly how it requires more skill” well that statement is kind of wrong and right. its right for twitch reactions if its faster then bf4 or bf3. if its lower it will require more skill in terms of accuracy.
I heard chatter when spotting people, as in a soldier shouting “There’s a scout over there!”, etc. So I’m assuming they will do so for commands as well.
As for planes being weak, you have to remember that they can SIGNIFICANTLY damage tanks and armored vehicles with just their machineguns if you hit a good strafe. So I’m assuming that if you hit an infantryman with them, they’re going to pretty much be decimated in 1-2 shots. It makes sense that small arms can damage them as well. They seem to have a pretty high damage output compared to even jets in BF4.
just noticed something else about the announcer she says “we are losing objective apples” this needs to be removed right now.. i know its a reference but it just ruins the atmosphere for me. get rid of it.. dice you are really messing up with that anouncer
well, that’s just the way the military alphabet of that time was. Any change would really break the immersion for me.
Speaking of immersion: I have to agree that the female anouncer sounds very robotic. But I think it’s a bad choice to have a female voice actor for this anyways… It would just be more realistic if it was spoken by someone sounding like a Platoon Sergeant calling out to his men over the sound of battle
i didnt say get rid of the ability to inflict damage by small arms fire i said that small arms does a bit too much damage considering that vehicles have micro destruction a couple of shots from small arms can decimate the wings as is
