Okay, so I’m just gonna say it. I am not even slightly excited for Battlefield 1. Looking around the internet right now though it seems I’m the only one.
If I were to describe BF1 in one word from what I’ve seen so far I’d say “casual”. If they want to chase that demographic then that’s their choice but it’s definitely not for me.
It’s been the demographic since the game’s payerbase shifted from primarily PC players to primarily console players.
The majority of what now is millions of BF fans are casual players. BC2, BF3, and BF4 were fairly casual themselves.
I am definitely excited for BF1. And yes, I’m a casual gamer.
Casual as opposed to what? Professional? Competitive? What the heck are we even talking about this for? Its a game. No competitive game can survive without its casual base. You want a non casual experience try getting a job.
I think for the fact there going to ww1 shows casuals are not the only crowd on there mind. Like they said this new generation of who are giving up our freedoms and ruining the gaming hobby don’t even know what ww1 is.
How is it casual when it has higher ttk,harder weapons,no easymode gadgets like bf4 ,less spotting, no minimap spotting,and no op vehicles
If anything it seems so far to be the most skilled based bf for years
Trust me, you’re not. BF3 and 4 I was like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for Santa Claus. This time, I’m like “whatever.” I don’t know if it’s because I have been so disappointed in BF4 or the fact I’m just not interested in a WW1 themed shooter. Maybe my opinion will change after I play the beta or after it’s released, but, for now, I’m like “meh.” shrug
Kek, did you really think BF4 wasn’t casual? or BF3? What about the Bad Company series? Hell, I’ve been playing since the original Vietnam and I don’t really notice any big difference from even the original titles to now. If anything, the removal of lock on weapons and the addition of drag make this less casual. Keep complaining though, no one cares.

I don’t understand the hatred - BF1942 was not a military simulation game, in fact none of the versions after it have been either. Hardcore pushes toward that direction - somewhat.
I think what makes the BF series great is that it is a close to a balanced game for people seeking both experiences. If you want a full on mil sim, play AA or Arma or something similar…if you want more casual, play something else, BF is already pretty casual in most game modes
Depends.
Both were casual in the sense that they were arcadey shooters BUT they both had resonably high skill cielings and were marketed to moderately “hardcore” (I hate that word) fanbases.
Clearly you cared enough to reply so let’s not go there.
Oh, and you’ve played the final release have you?
This thread is about the marketing of the game seeing as at this point in time it’s all we have to go on.
If the game comes out and it’s totally different then fine.
You seem to have misunderstood. Since when does Not Casual = MilSim? We’re not talking about how realistic the game is.
Have you played it? It is the least casual in the last 5+ years
To me(could be just me) casual or not is determined by the game play - not the customization’s etc. That is why I have always found it a good balance.
No i havent played it,i am judging from the gameplay shown and the features confirmed just like you,and everything so far indicates that this is probably the most skilled based bf since bf2
This makes me happy
Love this game. Best game ever made by DICE after BFBC2.
If that’s the case they need to up their marketing game because I’ve been given the exact opposite impression.
You have to hand it to them that it’s a bold move.. I think it’s too early to be excited or not, I’d rather wait until the game is actually launched and then judge if it’s good material or not. Remember Battlefield 4 launch?
The BF1 videos that I’ve seen on YouTube make the game look pretty fun and casual to me.
