i hope they put that in the game so we console players could make montages with in action cinematics, because PC players have hattiwatti, i mean if Call Of Duty could do it than Battlefield defiantly can.
Would LOVE this but I’m not holding my breath.
Another person that doesn’t realize the difference between and in-game feature that allows you to see the entire battlefield and a device that simply records your own POV.
Bravo
+1 for battle recorder!
2142 had a Battle Recorder. It was the full game round in a code format. 10MB demo files. You had to play it locally through the game. You could see every action every player took with full 3D camera control. speed control, pause etc. That Battle Recorder should definitely return.
That would be dope
DICE has had that in some shape and form in every title - that’s how they get the footage to the trailers. But some dev said that it’s problematic with all the destruction in the game, as once it happens, you can’t go back in time with the software without glitches. That’s why they haven’t released it to public use.
I can’t give any source for that and I can’t promise I got it perfectly right, because it’s been a long time since I read about that issue…
I’d rather they focus on the game, instead of stuff like this!
this is for later! first bring out a game that is stable and mindblowing!
Its usefulness goes beyond YouTube videos. It’s a perfect tool to catch cheaters and glitchers with evidence. Also, one of the easiest ways to get better at the game by watching what the best squad of the round was doing, etc.
With theater mode in COD I like to study some of the maps and come up with flanking routes or good defensive positions. It would be awesome to be able to do this in a BF game.
Sure you could just run around the map in an empty lobby, but zooming the camera around is so much easier/faster.
Yeah but most CoDs have it so i know dice could do it too, we should start a petition to get this to their attention. I mean it’s 2016 and battlefield still has no battle recorder, come on.
This is exactly what is needed. Not for the reason mentioned in the OP, although it would be nice, but for the “comp scene” and all of that which it entails.
Dont hold your breath. We have been asking for Battle Recorder since BF3 was released.
And yeah, just ignore the who dont know the difference between something like FRAPS/Shadowplay and Battle Recorder.
The Frostbite engine was designed to remove elements from the world, but never add them back in. Seems like a lot of work to allow for it, but it would definitely be worth it, imo. It could lead to the development of a battle recorder, as well as allowing cover to be constructed by players, or allowing destroyed cover to be repaired.
This is the only source I was able to find:
Dice have always had Battle Recorder, first started it with Battlefield 2 from day 1 and it was great, nothing like it anywhere, personally if they don’t bring it back I hope it backfires on them as give BF1 a few months and people will want more as people are greedy and selfish
My opinion
