Battlefield 1 the new BF4

Battlefield 1 General Discussion
1

Introduction
I have been playing Battlefield since it first were launched. 1942 to Battlefield 4. As we all know, comparing old games with new can be done but you have to considering things like, technology advancement.

The last Battlefield I truly enjoyed was Bad Company, The campaign for me was a mind blowing experience. It was really a FUN game. It was created to used have fun.
Battlefield 3 was the “serious Battlefield” and Battlefield 4 was an extension of Battlefield 3 were they just decided to add more of everything.

I want to just mention before I carry on that I like Battlefield games. I have played them a lot. However I don’t like how they are developing their games nowadays.
If we look at Battlefield 4 there are 100 of weapons, I think it has 15 snipers, 25 assault weapons. like 8 scopes?
It is just TOO MUCH of everything. Especially since 90% of the guns feels the same, do the same dmg and the remaining 10% are the guns that people are using. Most likely because they are buffed.
Same goes with the maps, modes etc. 1/10 of everything in Battlefield 4 is only in use and it has divided the community. Not to mention how they decide to create sub-games like hardline, star wars.

Battlefield 1 is the new Battlefield 4

After I have been watching the gameplay videos that are out there I can see how this game feels like a modern Battlefield. That is not something I don’t mind at all.
However when I look at the WW1 feeling to it. I get bad vibes.
For anyone who have or had hopes about this game will be a WW1 game… It won’t..

Transport vehicles are doing 100 mph. The speed has not been reduced at all. It’s a replica of the Battlefield 3-4 Jeep. Drives fast as hell and can jump on hills.

Majority of the guns are machine guns. Well you can argue about “probably” all guns existed in WW1, as some point. What I can frustrated about is the fact that the MAIN gun for a infantary was the rifle.
The rifle in Battlefield 3-4 is a joke. I have really tried to master it and it is a challenge.
We need.. No really, WE NEED a solid rifle in this game or it will not make any sense at all.

I am extremely worried about how this game will turn into a Battlefield 4, with all these guns that will be added, scopes, and the biggest issue with any Battlefield game.
A developer that don’t care about balance the maps or guns. They add a map and it will last forever. no fix at all.
I am not surprised if we will see all the old Battlefield 3 maps in this game at some point. like metro…

Please just stick to a few guns, maps, features and make them great. The only reason why a DICE don’t do this is so they can create a game year after year after year and give us bad hopes.
Look at 1942, it is modify and it still lives today. At some point it was even bigger than BF4. That just say something…

“and Battlefield 4 was an extension of Battlefield 4 were they just decided to add more of everything.”

What are you talking about you don’t even make any sense

3

Edited. - It was an extension of Battlefield 3, just added more stuff. Sure they re-rolled some classes which was kind of good.

You must have started with Bad Company if you think Battlefield 3 was the ‘serious’ battlefield.
Bad Company was a spin off and was made to be comedic and light hearted for a change of pace.
It was also aimed at the console community.
If anything, Battlefield 3 was a return to form (although not quite enough)

I’m just going to say it… it’s because modern BF titles are designed to compete with CoD, more and more so with subsequent titles.

It can be seen in the implementation and removal of some key mechanics; the inclusion of autoheal and autorepair and the ‘boiling down’ of the classes, to name a few. It can also be seen in the marketing; after BF3, almost all trailers have been showing off big explosions, jets crashing, skyscrapers collapsing… Levolution itself was just a big marketing tactic, and it was an awful gameplay mechanic. Compare that to the BF2 trailer; which put heavy emphasis in teamwork and Commander Mode especially.

Most of all, the slow (d)evolution of BF can be seen in the playerbase. Just looking into the comment sections of YouTubers like Levelcap shows how immature and cancerous the majority of the community has become. If you dare to criticise the game, or make a suggestion (in the lead up to the BF1 reveal especially), you will invariably get flamed for it. I’m not trying to say that the BF community never had bad eggs, it did just like any online community, but the standard has been slowly lowering further and further until now, where most responses look like they were typed by 12 year olds.

/Rant Over

I want BF1 to be good, but I can’t help but be insanely skeptical.

Some red flags for me. Soldiers that run in this weird crouch. BC2 looked much more natural and DICE has not got it right since. The same exposed gun placements. Vehicles that move too fast for the time. The same billowing smoke from BC2 off on the horizon.

7

The speed of the game is too fast, even for someone who is 21 years old like myself!

The game is much faster than BF4 and BF3, and that doesn’t make any sense.

edgy thread OP

9

Jesus H Christ

No one wants a game where all classes use BAs

No one wants a game where the speed is slow as

Well… no one with a brain anyway…

10

I agree, and apparently so does DICE. I just leave these threads to give the illusion that the 15 people who care could get their way. The overwhelming feedback is people like the speed and weapons.

11

^^^^^

Bingo

Either way - the pacing of the game shouldn’t be surprising. A lead dev at DICE already stated blatantly in an interview that they were going for a similar pacing to that of past BF games, and that just because the setting is back in the past doesn’t necessarily mean they want to slow down the game.

12

Fully agree with OP, especially about the bolt rifles part that it looks like they gonna be considered just like they are the random snipers we are used to in prev Battlefield… while they actually were the main weapon in WW1 and WW2

Such a shame, they pick one of the best eras to make something new and they will just give us the usual run n spray gameplay from modern eras

Major disappointment

13

I order you to close this thread immediately… and to make me a p b and j

14

It is the New Battlefield Formula and its working out well for EA and DICE.

15

OP just for you here is the Pink panther theme tune for you but done to your taste and a game you might enjoy

Verdum verdum verdumverdumverdum verduuummm dun dun dun verdum verdum ver verver dum dum dum dum verdumdedum.

16

And Battlefield One will be the game for you with all inconveniences removed so that you can have a “Fun” and convenient Battlefield experience. @A_warped_mind We even made the name convenient to all the new players. You see the number one is the first number that every one learns and that is how we got to Battlefield 1.

17

Yeah i’m sorry that Dice decided to introduce fun into a WWI era game for all to enjoy, the inconvenience of not sitting in a muddy trench taking potshots over a wall and getting one kill every 5 mins with Bolt action rifles, maybe they should reverse their stance and make it convenient.

Remove all weapons except the Gwer98 and Lee enfield, remove all battles that existed and only have battles like the somme etc etc etc so we can all get our 1 kill per minute, then back to crouching anfd not mo0ving in a muddy trench for 30 mins until someone decides to have another pot shot.

PS: ive played every BF that has ever existed on P C and console.

18

I like how the most used reply to those semi/bolt rifles complaints is “Go play Verdun”

Let me ask you something… is it me who should go play Verdun cause i wish to play a proper WW1 BATTLEFIELD game (NOT A WW1 SIMULATOR, just a game following WW1 “trends”) OR is it you who should go back to play BF3/4 since you wish to play just a BF3/4 reskinned with WW1 theme?

Tell me, show us your objectivity here

And please dont bother to come with “trench warfare camping blagblah” story cause none wants and is asking for a WW1 SIMULATOR, that’s thats just a senseless excuse you guys using to defend run n spray

19

Oh and so have I. But to be honest these changes the Battlefield franchise is undergoing is just to be more convenient to the new players.

  • 3D spotting
  • Fast movements speed
  • Less distance between flags
  • Less recoil
  • Rock Paper scissors gun system
  • Auto healing and repair
  • Thermal Optics
  • Gadgets such as Mortar, MAV
  • Faster Vehicle respawn time
  • Faster player respawn time
  • Fast revives (No need to charge up the shock paddles)
  • Spawning on any squad member
  • Unlimited sprinting
  • Buy-able unlock packs
  • Faster Vehicle movement speed

Then I suggest go back and play BF2 or Project reality.

Things change, business changes people will have fun no matter what they do to the BF franchise, iv’e seen gaming change so much from my very first game (circa 1977) to the latest one i’m playing (2016 DOOM) 39 years of gaming since I was 9 years old.

Fun is calculated by many millions of players in many different ways so game companies aim or target their games to everyone and not just one section of the gaming community ( so all can have fun in what ever way they choose to have it)

In BF you have private servers where rules can be set to appeal to certain groups for them to enjoy the game that’s suited to their needs and their enjoyment. no one misses out.

A wider gaming community for all is better for games and game companies and the gamers that play them.
