As we approach the end of the line for BF1 and those of us without sticks up our behinds will be giving BFV a shot, I picture a 90’s sitcom farewell montage of the stupid crap I won’t miss when moving on. Here are a few of mine. What are yours?
Winning a 1v1 only to be blown up by the grenade that was thrown by your opponent instead of him trying to shoot you.
Drop (prone) shots being a thing. The fact that supports can drop to prone, obscure their hit box and laser beam you down while you are in a gunfight is one of the more insane things from this game.
The random death generators that are behemoths, mortar trucks and heavy bombers.
I’m going to really miss the fail player collision in this game where you start getting sucked into the ground whenever you try to vault while under fire in some way (the rest of the time it sort of works sometimes). That, and being thrown out of prone repeatedly due to weird geometry cuts that don’t match the flat ground you’re trying to lay prone on are my favorite things period.
Ramming planes and the artillery truck in general/strategic heavy bomber are also forms of extremely skill based and rewarding gameplay.
Elites were cool imo,always exiciting to meet one. All had a weak point and offered a nice lil challenge and they were fun to play. Also it was a great way to implement a good flamethrower in a multiplayer game.
Behemoths were just frustrating imo and also not really fun to play/play against. Giant mortars without any risk to get killed and on the other side endless explisoves spam just so the bad team can get a flag in the meantime…nope,thx.
Im not sure but i think the stuff i dont like will stay in the game ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Bayonet charge. Specifically the oh balls animation that starts about 10 metres away. Plus the fact they seem to run anywhere completely unhindered even over terrain that in normal game play would have you climbing up and down like a demented window cleaner.
For me all the ‘unfair’ deaths (elites/cavalry/arty trucks/behemoths/bombers etc), is the most annoying thing in BF1. These things are so unbalanced.
Also movement has issues, going prone instead of vaulting, getting stuck when moving over small objects, not being able to jump onto small rocks etc.
I think that the BFV-beta has removed all the annoying deaths and fixed the gunplay-annoyances (RBS), we must just hope they will fix all the bugs and the movement.
And DICE, please don’t introduce any unbalanced ‘gimmicks’ in the final game.
