To some battlefield will be a game which will give them advantage. What I mean by that is. If your like me I prefer not to use any laser scope, tactical light etc on my weapons. Just the good old old fashion. I must admit some days I did good and other days I did . My main class was also recon. While playing battlefield games. I always notice the top players will mostly have laser sights or tactical lights to the gun. Which gives them a advantage. My point is will the players like me who use no help. Will they have advantage in battlefield 1.
Most will adapt to the circumstances
So you want an adavantage because you prefer not to use the things that give you an advantage that are already in the game?
its world war 1. you have to think that everything was pretty new back in case of weapons and other stuff… nobody should have an advantage. just go back to the core of sight and weapons.
It’s going to be straight up iron sites on all guns and old cross hair scopes on sniper rifles nothing fancy ,you have to learn to adapt.
There’s gonna be some sights.
I m wondering how many people will beg to bring Coyote RDS to BF1
1/10
You can do better
The paradox is that DICE has spoiled its gamers by giving them a multitude of weapons, accessories and equipment of all sorts.
It’s unlikely that they will scale back on this traditional abundance of gear just to be more true to the WWI period. Obviously no lock-on weapons or modern tech but they might add prototype weapons and less common gadgets of the time.
I think OP’s point is still correct. Players who are used to playing without lock-ons and other techy gadgets and still perform will likely transition better.
Maybe DICE will implement some changes that, although formally excluding lock-on weapons, will have similar effects.
For example; biplanes will have very slow speeds and limited climbing altitude. The pilot’s exposed head could be “traced” with the aid of using AA from a simple rifle or machine gun. Shooting down biplanes from the ground could also be made relatively “easy” so as to give even lower skilled players the former “thrill” of lock on weapons in BF4.
Let’s not take for granted that, the historical period of WWI will automatically mean that DICE will make BF1 “harder” or more challenging for the general public than the modern day BF3 and BF4.
What would be the point of getting in a plane if it was easy for just one person on the ground to take it out?
And what is this “former thrill of lock on weapons” you talk of? Whats thrilling about using lock on weaponry?
The same ones who argue that having women soldiers would be ahistorical or that spawn beacon technology didn’t exist in 1915.
aiming is aiming…
No its not ,you have scrubs that depend 100% on A/A and without it they couldn’t shoot the broad side of a barn and also use it as an advantage.
You obviously think that everybody plays, enjoys and thinks the way you do when playing Battlefield. Presumptuous to say the least my dear.
BF has all kind of zealous weapon factions users, and “lock-on” are no exception (for better and for worse). DICE will surely give the many lock-on people their “consolation prize” in BF1 in one form or another.
Riiiight, so somebody claims “lock ons are thrilling” and that makes me the person “who thinks everybody plays like I do”??
All I did was ask why.
Do you even think before you post, dear?
good players will be good and bad players will be bad.
its that simple.
there are no magical things in a game that makes a bad player good or a good player bad…
Whatever turns you on my dear!
Keep trying, might get somewhere someday with somebody.
