What is going to “bite” someone from a preorder? Zero dollars spent. Purchasing the game anyway.
I’m still left wondering why you chose not to answer my question, but I guess it’s better to “muddy the waters” if you are caught putting words into someone’s mouth… weak debate tactic though.
Lmao Stuck between a rock and a hard place, huh?
I inferred you don’t like the guns and people would think they’re pointless when you said, " the majority of players would not use them."
A logical inferrence to make. If you have another explanation I’m all ears but I’m sure you’ll dodge explaining yourself, be vague, and talk cryptically.
Good Job forum dweller.
Insults is always a classy way to go.
Your inference was invalid. Probably because you made a mistake in interpreting the evidence at hand.
I made the statement that most players would not choose to use these weapons (in the long run), and it was based on the player base’s behavior based on my own experience and symthic data on weapon usage.
The new BAR variant has two firing rates, but is awkwardly set on the lower rate by default. Since BAR is at its best in CQB - I doubt many would find a use for the lower fire rate or the bipod. Therefore, most would choose BAR storm or a completely different weapon like the Parabellum or the Browning, depending on the expected engagement distance.
The 1919 smg is pretty much the annihilator, but crucially with a worse hipfire accuracy. The reason to use such a weapon, as with the Automatico, would, in my opinion, be the fast fire rate and effective hipfire. This new variant only improves in ADS values, but there are better options if you like to use ADS as an assault. Also, most assault players will continue using the SMG 08 or the Helriegel for their bigger magazine sizes.
I admit that I have no idea if the new Mosin would be a better option over the ones already in the game, but I’ve heard and read that there are better ones around. I believe most will use the SMLE, 1903 for normal scout-play or Arisaka/Carcano for closer engagements. I could be wrong with this one since I don’t play as a scout, but I don’t recall having been killed by this weapon even once.
The 1911 is an irrelevant discussion as we’ve already agreed upon.
The only weapon I see real value in is the new Fedorov, which I personally quite like. While its bipod would be rather useless to a lot of people (when looking at f.e. Ribey-Rolles’ usage compared to other bipodless assault weapons), I do think it has better iron sights than the trench variant and lower spread. Still, the other variants would probably win in their respective areas in comparison - the trench is better at CQB hipfiring and the optical has a superior sight picture for the medium range engagements. And there’s naturally a plethora of other popular SLR weapons to choose from, which do their own thing better than the Fedorov.
While naturally most players would try out the guns initially - I doubt they would use these variants over the ones they are already accustomed to because of my reasonings above.
As you can see, I don’t vehemently dislike these guns as you inferred.
lol they’re not even new weapons. They’re just variants, some of which aren’t even better than what’s already available. I at with a guy who has the pre order variants and he still mostly plays with his preferred weapons.
I don’t see how getting variants of weapons already in the game for pre ordering IF YOU OWN BF1 is a slimy practice. It’s not like it’s giving anyone an advantage, and it’s giving fans a small prize for pre ordering a game they were probably going to pre order anyway.

Subjective Summary
Thanks for proving my point.
-They’re many people who are not going to buy BFV.
-Since you don’t see how it’s slimy I’ll explain. It’s not necessarily about anyone’s subjective opinion of any of the guns, it’s about content in BF1 that hardcore BF1 players would like to try out being stuck behind a paywall of buying their new game that many don’t want.
kill someone with it and pick it up, then you can use it
Excellent rebuttals, I’ll give you an A for effort.
I guess it serves me right trying to engage in a constructive discussion with a troll.
It really isnt worth your time trying to get your point across,this lot would start an argument in an empty house.
Even these volunteer mods will happily join in with the vailed insults/belittling/baiting in a bid to silence any critique you may have of EA/Dices business pratices. Dont rise to the bait,thats what they want,it also makes it easier for these volunteer mods to silence you even further by banning you when you hit back by saying something out of sheer frustration.
Seems to be the tactics used by alot of these so called community members/mods recently.
Another superb non-response.
You’re not even engaging lol You’re avoiding all the points I’m making like a deer in headlights.
I expected as much.
Big woopity do. You do that but you miss my point like all the others on here. Have you ever heard of Totalbiscuit’s video of preordering? I bet you haven’t and i bet you will not look it up eather. In that video on youtube he says alot about preordering and why it is a bad idea. Educate yourself before saying “zero dollars spent”.
I bet your going to come up with something else to counter this. I’m a betting man that you will. Go ahead and take a bite out of this one. The OP brought up a good argument and it got ripped to shreads by just about everyone including a vol-Mod. You people act like you don’t even have common sense or some of you do. You go with what they feed you and you accept it which is pretty mind boggling. Go ahead rip into this post. I await your slaughter and your smart [email protected]@ remarks.
I’ll just say that $60 is not a lot of money to me, so o preorder what I plan to purchase.
If I didn’t preorder Kingdom Come Deliverance I wouldn’t have been able to get a copy of it for over a month if not two
So far the three gamesI’ve ever preordered haven’t affected anyone but myself yet preordering is an evil thing and how dare I spend MY money how I want to.
And no I won’t watch a youtuber lecture me on how I should live my life and what I should do.
You people really need to learn to live your own lives instead of hoping some “influencer” will put a leash on you
seeing as I’m in this thread. Where have I ripped the ops argument to shreds? Btw don’t circumvent the filter.
It’s kind of a disgusting promotional tactic but as you said it’s not like anyone is getting an advantage from it so who really cares i guess.
So preordering gives you 5 alternate skin? HOw is zhar different from the alternate skins from various promotions them did for BF2
More like effective? They’re rewarding people who already play BF1 for pre ordering a game most of them will probably pre order either way.
People really need to stop being so sensitive about pointless digital BS. I mean, for the love christ - they’re friggin weapon variants. People are not going to die if they never try those weapons because they don’t want to pre order BF5.
I didn’t pre order BF5, you know how I used the new Thompson? I PLAY WITH FRIENDS, said it looks sick, and my friend spawned in and we swapped kits so I could use it. You know how I used the new Fedorov? I saw an enemy with one, killed him, and picked it up.
If I hadn’t used those weapons? WHO CARES. I have access to nearly identical weapons with slightly altered stats.
Wanna know what the primary issue with the entire gaming industry is nowadays?
People invest way too much of themselves into video games, and act like they’re more than just an entertaining hobby
There are people literally calling a game development studio disgusting because they’re giving people virtual guns in a video game for pre ordering another video game. Virtual guns, btw, that nobody will even be talking about within the coming weeks, and that are ultimately pointless.
People are legitimately trying to boycott against a game developer because they included females and player customization in a video game… They’re literally acting like this video game means so much to their livelihood that they have to actively take action and speak out against aspects of video games that they dislike and don’t approve of.
It’s absolutely mind numbing that not only do people have the gull to call game developers “disgusting” for making moves people disapprove of that ultimately mean nothing, but they act as if what they’re arguing against has a profoundly bigger effect on us all than it actually does.
Take, for instance, this thread - where people are complaining about weapons in a game that in 6 months nobody will even be talking about. There’s such an emphasis on how sick and disgusting this practice is, when by the time BF5 releases, there won’t be a soul bringing up this topic. The people that cared about females being in the game and DICE giving weapons to those who pre-order will seemingly cease to exist until the NEXT BF gameis revealed.
I’m pretty sure I was in a server yesterday where a platoon began to target me for that reason. Just because I’m paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get me.
f everybody is missing your point, maybe you really dont have a point to being with.
Playing with the new weapon variants is the new specialization.
