Elitism in the battlefield community

Battlefield 1 General Discussion
1

Im been noticing people say " battlefield 3 was much better than bf1" people calling anyone who likes bf1 casual even youtubers like LVLCAP saying bf1 casual nothing like bf4 and stuff like “all cod players moved to battlefield” battlefiled more casual. I thought to my self people say bf2 was the most skill in the series ( what people say) i played bf2 on hub that game was AWFUL grenade spam op jets etc is it just people have rose tinted glasses in the community or something plz explain

Who cares, the people who spam “casual” are the people that cant adjust to not having 800rpm lasers.

3

That i was saying in bf4 to defend bf1

gitgud :trollface:

There are things that were better in bf4 than bf1 just because some people point it out sometimes doesn’t make it elitist.

Simultaneously who cares what anyone else thinks? Bf1 is clearly a great game that many still enjoy, don’t sweat the small stuff.

Asking if there is elitism in the battlefield community (Gaming community too) is like asking if we need water to survive.

Yes.

7

Its just this people have sway like youtubers etc dice might just listen to them because there vocal or something and change the game

That already happens Ammo 2.0 or Aura specialization are good examples.
We end up with poor play or stupid work arounds that don’t fix anything.

Classic example is the stupid comments on video about Ripple specialization being not battlefield as a nearby player could be spotted for doing nothing wrong because of a lucky headshot. Now it has been nerfed to which YT are happier and sudden players are finding that current format useless.

It is not Eliteism it is Trumpism using ill informed players and keeping them that way to support their ill informed comments.

Just mention that you enjoy playing small map modes and watch the BF elites tell you that you’re not playing ‘real’ battlefield and should go back to COD.

removed - master race comments are not welcome

LOL. Jets r meant to be paper planes then.
And don’t forget bf1 had the worst grenade spams in BF franchise.

12

Ha nice joke. Don’t u think 1 year is a little bit late for a dev team to introduce new ideas.

13

Pc is still master race… Nice baiting bro. :wink:

14

Consoleros man gotta be careful in the wild forumfield west.

15

Ha!!!

16

Metro.

Don’t forget: jets were not easy to fly back then and even required a joystick for maximum effect. M+K pilots were dead if they encountered a joystick player. Furthermore, a good jet fighter was a real asset on the battlefield to kill armour.

BF2 had its flaws, like the nade spam. However, if people say BF2 was the best, we look at the total package: huge, vehicle (heavy) maps and more tactical gunplay (most guns had to be fired single shot to be effective, with LMG you had to lay down, … ). Actually, BF2 was more of an ARMA-light, but that does not cater to most shooter fans.

Eh, sure.

To which part of my comment are you referring?

I believe that if a game like BF2 came out today, many would not like it: slower paced, more vehicle focused because of the magnitude of the maps, even more specific gun roles than in BF1 and more inaccurate gunfire (LMG were simply unusable if not laying down because of the recoil and bullet spread; same goes for other classes: I mostly changed to single shot, because full auto was useless outside of CQC).

Unless you get paid to play a game then I’m afraid in my eyes your a casual gamer, yes people take games a bit to series serious than others but unless playing games puts food on your table your a casual gamer.

The reason LVLCAP goes on about BF1 being casual is so he can get the click bait views, it’s a lot easier to make a whining video than one with some substance. Plus remember the live reveal of BF1 when Simon from NEEB’S Gaming kept killing him and matimiO, you can’t edit out had game play at a live event.

As for elitism in BATTLEFIELD it’s most defiantly here, but you will find it in pretty much every game just try not to be one of em and rise above it.

@woll3 that video, I never played the old BF games on PC was that what it was like, I think I saw someone not use a rocket launcher or a tank to get a kill but not meny.
