Keyword: just like BF1

If I were to look at the gameplay without the HUD, I’d guess it’s a new COD. Shooting seems to have the **same framework as BF1** , just without the ‘RDA’. Little to no recoil. Hip Fire accuracy is through the roof, I suppose you’ll RARELY have to use ADS (_just like BF1_) Graphical style = _ **just like BF1** _. Improvements = better destruction.

Where are the people that made BC2,BF3 and BF4 ???

I think the old BF games are dead now. It’s the console audience, dumbed down, COD gameplay now. There has been no indication it’s going back to it’s roots. All signs and actions point to the COD with the BF name.

More. At the XB1 event they are showing the 1st war story and am sure more gameplay video will be released … the floodgates are opening.

Or you could wait a couple of months and get a 7nm based CPU from AMD before Intel can follow along.  
Even if Ryzen didn’t amaze you so far, it’s undenyable that AMD will have an edge with a smaller node this time around.

The numbers don’t lie though. More sales and players of BF1 for console than PC, they have to follow market forces.

Guns in BC2, BF3 and BF4 barely had any recoil on PC. Games like Rising Storm 2, Red Orchestra 2, SQUAD, ARMA have recoil that you can’t quite deal that easily with when using a mouse … and even in those games, there are guns with very controllable recoil, like the M16A1 in RS2.

When are we going to see gameplay footage? They hyped it up that we would be getting streams and videos of the gameplay from the fan fest but I’m not seeing any.

Still not sitting well with reinforcing system and need more clarification on how rearming in the air looks. If its over the battlefield and not back at base, it’s kind of pointless.

So, uh, if lootboxes(Battlepacks) are no more, what are airlifts?  
  
This forum needs a spoiler tag option or the ability to resize images. ☹

EA E3 sucked, but was nice to see some gameplay from the streamers to see the game itself.

> I’m sure I’ll get hate for this, but I just can’t get hyped for this game. The half hearted WWII vibe just kills it for me. If you’re going to do WWII go all in. This half and half with the characters looking like they belong in Bad Company 3 just doesn’t do it for me. Maybe it’s petty to pass on a game because of how it looks, but that’s what I’m doing none the less.

Yeah, gotta watch out for the fanboys… But im feeling the same way you do. If they wanted to do WWII, than do that, if the wanted BC3 than they should have done that. And it’s not petty to pass on it because how it’s looks, it’s your money and your a customer who’s not happy! Sure it’s another EA game that looks amazing, but most of the time it’s not enough. I guess their catering to the Fortnite battle royal ppl on this game. Such a shame…

looks like BF1 v2 to me, not really excited tbh, yet, other than the BC2 style destruction, also saw some Battlefront influences in there, hard to explain just a perception

I think I’ll need to actually play it myself to judge it, I’m completely mixed about it at the moment after watching the stream. I can’t help but have the feeling that I wish they forgot BF1 existed (complete step in the wrong direction), went back to BF4 and brought that into this generation for BF5. This is like a mix of a lot of different things with some tweaks and I don’t know how it’s all going to mesh together from 30 minutes of gameplay (the longest I saw so far) from a gamer I’ve never seen before, so I guess we just need to wait and see.

I felt the same way with the reference to BF1. And when I 1st saw the game all I thought of was BF4. So it’s not really change how I feel on BFV
