All I, and I hope I speak for everyone else here, ever wanted was an “authentic” WW2 Battlefield. With a realistic atmosphere, as “realistic” as Battlefield can get obviously. Battlefield 1 did something right when it comes to authentic gameplay, look at Operations for example. Turning off HUD in that gamemode make you feel like you’re actually in a battle.
Then comes Battlefield V, the trailer was a huge let down, felt very arcade:y and wasn’t battlefield at all. The trailer didn’t show battles as a WW2 battle should be. I’m in no way sexist but including females in multiplayer was a really bad decision because it will literally ruin any immersion you can feel, for example if Battlefield V has operations, hearing females charging and screaming everywhere around you won’t make you feel like you’re in a WW2 battle. Especially if they’re all wearing clown facepaint and having robot arms.
Please DICE, I know you have a lot of pressure from SJWs and such but don’t ¯_(ツ)_/¯ this Battlefield up. Just LISTEN to your fanbase for once. The dislikes on the trailer speaks for itself.
I like how people judge the game by watching a 2 minute pre-rendered engine gameplay.
You better learn some facts about the game first.
We can choose to play male/female character, nobody is forcing anybody.
It looked arcade? Can you just wait until we see actual gameplay with live players instead of set piece where everyone is doing their pre-determined role for a camera.
“The trailer didn’t show battles as a WW2 battle should be” Can you please explain me a full detail how a WW2 battle should be? Go ahead.
The changes I’ve read and heard about definitely make the game sound a lot more interesting than the trailer would lead anyone to believe. Truly I do not think the reveal trailer was very good at all and has not or will not do the game justice.
I feel the same way. Guess we’ll have to wait for June 9th to see what the game really looks like. The game mechanics look really cool, and they’ve done away with Premium. I just hope they don’t try and make it look like all the other games out there. If they wanted a modern futuristic game than why didn’t they just make that instead?
Absolutely, because it is still supposed to be a game in a set time period. But adding women into an era they never served in because you wana virtue signal how great you are to people who don’t even play the game is a little disgusting.
Eat more soy, wear more tight jeans and stand up for the oppression of women. But you still won’t get laid.
You don’t speak for everyone here, but there are a million different opinions on what ‘authentic’ means.
Battlefield has always been Arcadey. You want simulation type authenticity, go play a simulation or the other titles out there that have a goal to do just this.
You’re totally right about that. You were there right? You want to tell us how it should have actually gone down? On a serious note, I get your point, but… these comments from gamers always crack me up. Seems like everyone on the internet is an ‘expert’ these days and knows how to do things the ‘right’ way.
I’m no statistical expert and am pulling this statistic out of my ¯_(ツ)_/¯, but I imagine 80% of players will be of the male demographic, maybe more. Of those 80% probably 80% are going to want to play male avatars. I really don’t think the battlefield is going to be over populated with women, but your vaginal phobia is noted.
This has nothing to do with an SJW agenda. This is about reaching a wider demographic. There are a lot more female gamers in the current generation than 10 years ago. They are making changes to attract said gamers. That being said, is it historically likely to see women on the battlefield? No. Is it historically impossible? No.
Honestly, if we’re taking out the immersion breakers, lets get rid of respawns, squad spawns, silencers in an era when they did not exist to the level they are portrayed in these games, and all the other historical flaws that have been present in EVERY BATTLEFIELD GAME.
TL:DR - This is not a simulator. This is a Triple A Arcadey shooter that aims to be visually authentic, not so much historically accurate. I think you all will be much happier people if you get off your high horse and just enjoy the game for what it is, and frankly, always has been.
