For those annoyed/angry with #BF1’s lack of realism, you need to watch this video. Poolshark nails the issue.

I really do think the idea of BF being a “realistic” shooter needs to be dropped. People need to understand, at the core, Battlefield is just as much as an arcade shooter as a lot of other AAA titles. Just because a game implements some features to make it feel more “realistic” does not mean that is the centric force behind the type of game it is. ---

i, and many others, are angry against instant 180 degrees and jerky movement animations, invalidating any prediction, anticipation, and construction, and breaking the fun. i, and many others are angry against design that promotes randomness and chaos over skill and team play ---

I’ll openly admit that watching his video I have to agree. I’m not particularly a fan of his condescending posts on here. But yeah he’s ‘hit the nail on the head’. ---

If the word “bashing” falles it means you lost the disscussion. or am i wrong ? I guess calling people stupid for not liking the fast movement is not bashing at all ---
