(Developer Comment) Grenade Resupply, Ammo 2.0 and What's Next

This is a long and rambling response that is almost as stupid as the original idea of cooldown equipment. I don’t know where the designers from BF3 and BF4 went. The new team has no talent at all, and are genuinely dumb. I mean below average on the IQ scale dumb.

Oh, so like the majority of the people on these forums…

This thread was supposed to have have a contructive conversation of ideas. So far all i see it complaining and criticism!

What’s the difference it’s not like dice cares to listen. They’re just going to do what they want anyway.

I agree. Unless you give DICE positive praise infinately on social media, accepting thier flaws, practices and mistakes, being a youtuber making thier games seem like the best thing since sliced bread, ect, you may get heard.

I think overall they can make this work. It will take time.

People are so childish and ridiculous in gaming lol.

would it really be the end of the world if you only got one grenade per round? As in if they just increased the resuply time for grenades from crates so you have a choice - sit and wait or just go without. Simple solution.

I didnt even red the whole wall of text from DICE, because I’m most certain it contains 90% trash. Talking around the problem instead of simply confess that they up.

Dice will destroy Battlefield with this stuff. They just should add some Ammo boxes at the Main Base and 2 Flags like in Battlefield 1942. Would solve the Problem that some Supports dont give Ammo. Cooldown is totally stupid i hate even the autoheal. Battlefield is about Teamplay that Ego i can have at CoD. Dice is on the core gamers that support the Franchise since it start.

Then go play something else.
Battlefield after frostbite is no longer the BF you want. Want that experience? Then play it or look for other games.
I don’t want my games ruined for the types of games I’ve liked since Bc2 and it’s obviously here to stay.

If you don’t like what DICE has done for the past 4 games + spin-off over years then leave please.

I understand the concerns but saying “muh Veteran Status” then insults saying it’s COD makes you look and sound like this guy

Like or leave.

Why are they doing this though? They have said what their intentions are, but why?

I thought CTE was there to try different things out, not just run with one silly idea, namely passive grenade resuply, which most people don’t like and is actually pretty suspect that it even works. Try some other ‘simple’ fixes in CTE before completely changing how the game works.

I’m sure we can get some good Downfall memes from this.

This is starting to seem more and more like “developer sickness”, some of the developers get a “vision” about how the game should be, instead of mechanics that have worked well for years. They convince themselves that they can do it “better” than earlier games, and end up crippling the game.

Seen it happen so many times before, but honestly, mostly in MMO’s.

They should just nerf the blast radius on all explosives while they are at it.

nukes flying everywhere. Im just randomly throwing them to a direction where there might be enemy and racking up tons of kills while they magically appear in my inventory again.

This is quite possibly the dumbest idea that will shrink BF1’s already shrinking player count. The normal system in place now is better than this one… and that system still sucks. Just listen to what everyone is saying here and on Reddit about this… they’re the players that actually play your game… and the last thing they want is for it not to be fun.

I don’t remember playing 1942 but that is basically what I come up with today when I was thinking about it for a whole 5 minutes. These developers are probably academically clever but maybe lack common sense and gaming experience. They are trying to reinvent the wheel for no reason and coming up with convoluted trash.

I don’t understand the logic behind this decision.

First off they call the whole initiative “ROOTS” yet this decision further increases the gap between classic battlefield and the casual mess we’ve been getting into.
Then there’s the whole “teamwork” emphasis made in that original CTE post and here we are adding in a mechanic that further promotes Lone Wolf tactics what Dice say and the end result seem to be two very different things.

With the overall negative response to the ammo change I’m interested to see if Dice will take into effect the community’s wishes or push through with whole Dice knows best mentality.
