So we got official list of BF5 launch content. To say it’s bad is to say nothing at all.
Only 2 shotguns ( 1 being copy paste from BF1) and 4 LMGs. I don’t count MG34/42 because they’re trash.
Almost half of the guns are hard copy from BF1 - Lewis, Selby 1916, 12g Automatic, MP-28, RSC, Gewehr M95 and many pistols. I also saw Sjorgen Inertial shotgun in the trailer, so expect recycled content as ‘Post launch content’
They’re trying so hard to hide the fact that they have very little launch content. Listing same things twice ‘JB-2 and V1’ same bloody thing. Stuka B1 and B2, again same damn vehicle, different loadout.
It’s very sad to see this happening. Now those poor kids who could not afford Premium will have it all, while people who bought Premium will get nothing at all.
My biggest fear is applying for a job and being asked to describe what my drinking habits were nearly 40 years ago.
But this is a close second. Ok not really. It just sounded good to say it’s a close second but I don’t really care.
I mainly don’t care because I’m extremely confident that the game will get a good chunk of content over the next 2 years.
But I also don’t care because my excitement over the number of any type of gun or vehicle exponentially decreases once the number of each type of gun or vehicle exceeds 2 or 3.
It isn’t that bold considering DICE has said they are supporting it for 2 years and will go through the WW2 timeline. They’ve said they view BFV as a live service. I have no reason to not believe them. I have no reason to think the amount of content won’t double worst case.
Lol BF1 had premium and still had a huge lack of content. I personally wouldn’t be surprised if they made more money from cosmetics than premium. It’s all about the whales that will buy everything and it’s not like premium where it’s only one purchase.
Well the weapon list is viable because those weapons were used extensively in world war 2.
It’s also pretty bold to assume that because there is no premium that the content drops won’t be as frequently, or as much.
So.. your argument is moot really.
And before you use SWBF2 as a reference point, We can’t really use swbf2 as an example because the developers can’t just lumber content and be creative with maps and characters and set pieces.
Disney would likely need to green light any content that gets added to that game to ensure it is canon.
Time will tell, We can’t exactly say that content for BFV will be in short supply nor can we argue that it will be in abundance.
You guys are snubbing it before it’s even released.
I’m surprised premium is even being defended by anyone. It has been such a hated part of most games ever since they started showing up in big titles like BF and Cod. I can’t stand it personally because I end up never really getting to play the new maps or modes much once the hype for them dies down and no servers appear because half the population does not want to buy it. While many are going to argue about the cosmetic system and the silly parts of it, it still is really the best route to go without population dividing premium.
The game takes place way before the US got combat involved in ww2. Most of the guns are going to be the same till the ramp up of the war as the game progresses through ww2s timeline
Premium isn’t the problem. It’s the lack of competition and incentive for Dice to work harder at earning our dollars. No offense to games like Arma, but there’s really no other big budget AAA shooter that scratches that Battlefield itch, so Dice and EA have really been getting our continued support by default.
meh
My biggest fear are possibly spiders as big as horses. Or land sharks. or untreatable gonorrhea.
Damn I was hoping its gonna be discussion about our deepest fears…
