There were three things that kept me playing BF1 for a very long time (> 1000 hours):
Operations
Medic Class (currently 80K heals and 15K revives)
BA rifles (for example, Gewehr M95 Infantry is one of the best rifles I’ve ever seen in video games)
What do we have BFV:
Operations - screwed. Grand Operations is a joke. Like someone said “glorified mix of random modes with some connection between”. Breakthrough is a pathetic and cheap copy of BF1 Operations
Medic class - screwed. Stupid animations and SMGs. I really don’t know who came up with this idea. If you don’t want Medic to be a Sniper with self-heal, just don’t give them damn Scopes. Easy, but not DICE’s way. They decided to give Medics SMGs and give Scopes to all classes. brilliant!
BA rifles: basically useless, slow with a very low damage. Also based on what I’ve seen they’ve even screwed the M.95 rifle - it has a slower reload time and rate of fire.
The social justice BS controversy doubling down. Just seems like a deflection for a poorly designed game. I doubt most people care about it when looking at the overall game, heck we have female snipers in bf1 and people love the game. It just breaks immersion and that’s why it docks some points.
To the point where I kind of like BF1 now knowing that things can get worse.
Everything I didn’t like about BF1, BFV have doubled down on. I thought enemies were hard to see in BF1, let’s make them even harder to see with all the map clutter plus eliminate spotting. Didn’t really care for ttk 2.0. Let’s lower ttk even more and made weapons more accurate at longer ranges. TAnks were slow in BF1. Hey we can make slow in ww2 as well. Not many vehicles? Well we’ll continue that pattern and even release more heavy infantry maps in BFV. Animations were annoying in BF1. We’re doubling down on them in BFV. Too many useless modes. We’re back with even more blah modes. Maps too small? WE got even smaller maps and more of them. BAlance was crap in BF1. Good news haven’t done anything to change that in BFV. Conquest was a bore in BF1. Rotate around the flags. Don’t worry we haven’t changed that except we will make the score 1-1 with 30 seconds left so you’ll always have a close match. I kid about that but it’s not too far off from what they did.
So I haven’t bought BFV. It just doesn’t have that fun BF feel.
Well after the disasters that was Battlefront 1 and 2 it’s nice they get to celebrate the critical and commercial hit that is BFV. I’m just glad that DICE are owned by EA, you know some game publishers are too eager with closing down studios. A studio releases a game that flops, next thing you know you hear the studio has been “restructured”
Just look at what, oh hang on, what’s the company’s name agian? on yes that it, CD Project Red! (Boo hiss) They keep buying up studio’s make them add loot boxes to get kids hooked to online gambling Number of child gamblers quadruples in just two years - BBC News And look at the long list of some of the game studios that they closed as soon as they get into trouble.
It’s noticeable the number of rank 150 players in the scoreboards still. Had BF5 been any good you’d have expected these committed players to move across.
Yeah, I remember everyone was complaining about Hellriegel and how OP it was. In BFV almost all Assault weapons are basically Hellriegels with zero downsides. Truly skilled game
BFV made me dislike BF1 even more. It made me appreciate well designed gunplay even more. Removal of noob-friendly mechanics like spread, behemoths, elites, high ttk, spotting, sweet spots, gas, grenade spam all made me appreciate how much more fun one can have in a first person shooter when the main way of killing is using your primary weapon.
From what I’ve gathered so far here it’s clear those who prefer BF1 and trash BFV are ones who are struggling to adapt. Slow down, readjust, learn the new gunplay and you’ll be fine. Always remember, BF1 was a horrible nightmare and it’s all over.
