You’re forgetting about Hardline.
And true, but I’m glad about no RSP yet. I sit on the side of the fence that disliked how it was handled in BF3. Hopefully they balance out our interests, but we’ll see. My biggest issue with BF3 was the plethora of meat grinding servers late into that game’s life.
Appears even some youtubers want RSP
And Hardline was pretty forgetable.
So I should expect a worse gaming experience than 20 years ago because we have progress, right.
it’s great to see that finally some of the youtubers are starting to sprook the importance of a RSP to the BF community… the unfortunate thing is that they should of started at least 6 months ago, even though there was some mention of it.. for some reason it was dropped like a hot potato and shelved.
I have no dought that once ( or if ) a RSP is officially announced for BFV there will be a sales spike in the upwards direction, especially on the PC platform.
I have literally been baited into more servers on BFV with fake numbers than I ever have been on BF4. Actually, it was the reason I decided to go to bed and turn it off last week. Haven’t played since. This BFV server situation is a damn quagmire. I was always proud of Battlefield not being CoD, not so much anymore. The silence from EA regarding the servers is disheartening.
Exactly!
To be fair to our youtube overloards, they’ve been asking about RSP in all of their developer interviews since they started in regards to BFV.
They’ve been shut down every single time with answers like “we will not be discussing that at this point in time” and “we’ll let you know as soon as the roadmap is finalized.”
At least JackFrags and Westie have been doing this very actively.
Hardline was developed by Visceral Games not DICE.
In every BF server I’ve gone into, the number of abusive players far outnumbered the number of abusive admins.
Based on your logic, EA shouldn’t sell a single copy of BF V because of all the abusive players.
And if you have never run or adminned a BF server, I suggest you try it first before you make suggestions on what admins should or shouldn’t do.
Yup, but I’m not sure if that actually matters. I’d want to believe that Visceral taking the wheel would have given the Dice studios more development time, but they developed Battlefront 2015 and Mirrors Edge Catalyst prior to Battlefield 1s release.
That’s a lot to work on, and I would be surprised if Visceral did anything outside of allowing Dice to squeeze in an additional game into their development cycle.
I figured there would be a rush job and a month after launch to have a rush job RSP program again for BF5 like there was in BF1.
With EA wanting to please shareholders and the fact that their shares have dropped to sub $85 from just over $150 in July I would think it would be even more important due to lack of sells of this game.
If EA does, I still expect a rush job just to get people to buy the game.
I am still holding firm, I will buy the game 1 month after launch of a rental server program if there are players.
Near as I can tell, it will take several months and there player count is way short of what BF1 and BF1 was at their launches.
I caved last week for the $29.99 Target special but it’s still in the wrapper.
If it gets to $20, I would consider it comparable to Early Access in price and thus hard to resist.
Sad on no RSP news thru March on Roadmap, I know longer expect it.
If it is offered, likely a half hearted attempt (BF1) in summer, too little too late.
Good grief, Battlefield is truly dead then. It’s sad.
It’s been dying for a while now.. but absolutely no server rentals is where this is headed. People are going to have to find a new FPS from a smaller developer who appreciates it’s player base, doesn’t mock them.
If Dice cant balance and control this game then leave it to server admins like BF4
BC2,BF3 had rented servers available at launch day, same goes with BF4 and BFH. BF1 was the first game that didn’t have rented servers available at the launch. And this comment is from PC. Consoles never had RSP at launch date.
Dude you deserve mocking… you haven’t been the game for the last two years ??? still back in BF4 I suspect or worse still PUBG ?? what have you been playing.
50 servers a night here in Aust even BF4’s hey days weren’t that big. Had no problems getting 3 squads of 4 all in TS into a conquest server last night.
And maybe a little less demanding of RSP and start asking for free custom servers like there are in Titanfall, SWBF 1, BF1 Incursions. You guys are such sad sacks, If you look at the origin access model they will have to move towards free servers so anyone can download the game and play against a group of friends. This is what “games as a service” model is all about. If EA can get 10 million subscribers onto premium then that’s 100 million a month in revenue and overt a billion dollars a year without selling a game.
And you think you are smarter then them buy boycotting there game, they will win in the end just like steam did and they will get your money.
While I understand your point, RSP is needed for the communities/clans. Is needed also for clanwars/events.
However it does not mean that there can’t be also some free custom servers with the style of BF1 incursions but that system should not replace RSP. Of course you can run a clanwar with limited free server system that had in BF1 incursions but that’s not the best case for everyone…
