If you want slow paced then play Squad or Arma or Red Orchestra or Verdun.
Battlefield is no longer a slow paced shooter anymore.
Just so you guys know, slow paced doesn’t mean really f**king slow to a point that bores people. For that I have bought Squad. It’s an amazing tac-shooter. Battlefield is meant to be played as an arcade game. We just don’t want it to be turned into a CoD-like game. That’s all.
Want a fast paced game? Go play Call of Duty.
Given its longer time to kill (less lethality of weapons), I’d say that BF4 now plays as a faster shooter than COD.
You actually have to move very cautiously in COD, given how powerful the weapons are.
Thankfully you can get refunds through Origin. I think its within the first 48 hours? So if its not good or plays like the newer BF (4/hardline) Ill get the refund. I think I have resigned myself to never getting another BF2 or COD:UO. But I’m still hoping for a BFBC2 play style.
lol, that’s not my experience with CoD, and I’m currently Prestige Master 209 in BO3. People run around like chickens with their heads cut off in CoD, no matter the gametype, and no matter if it’s core or hardcore.
BF is significantly slower-paced than any time I’ve played Cod, from CoD 1 all the way through BO3. Battlefield is nowhere near reaching “CoD-like” in terms of pacing. Even the slower days of CoD in CoD 1 and CoD 2 were faster than that of BF today.
If you want a slower pace in BF, play Classic or Hardcore where players are forced to either be more careful in their pacing, or be killed in an instant by people who are being more careful with their pacing. The gunplay and pacing has pretty much been the same since BC2, because that formula is what took BF from being a nearly PC-only niche shooter into the multi-hundred-million player market and into being one of the top AAA FPS franchises in the world, and that’s what a big majority love about the franchise. I know it definitely improved my love for the franchise, which I’ve loved and played for well over a decade.
There are games out there that quench that thirst for a slower pacing - Battlefield doesn’t need to be forcefully changed in to one of them to appease a very small amount of players, and I’m a BF vet - since 2002.
“Old school”
Uses bf2 and bad company as an example and not 1942

When people start saying that BF4 isn’t faster or at least as fast as any CoD, and that BF2, a game that is older than 10 years, isn’t old school, it becames pretty clear that we’re dealing with trolls. I don’t see how screwing around in this forum will get the game better or your egos better. But anyway… If people understand any of my previous comments, they’ll know what this post is all about.
It will be right between the pace of Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 2. Without most of the annoyances from both games. This could turn out to be the next 5-10 year lasting Battlefield.
Funny you called the forums users
who have been on the BL forums for years as well never in my experience failed to apply logical and productive opinions including myself trolls. GG
If you’re implying that BF4 is faster than CoD, you’ve obviously never played CoD. I play both of them regularly, and I can say you’re completely talking straight out of your ***.
i really would love to see it slow down a bit. so squads will automatically take more cover. and the enemy squads will take down those covers or try to flank them. right now everybody is sprinting around and shooting everyone. this is really frustrating for me, because the new, better destroy system looks so cool.
DICE, many players would enjoy a limited-sprint server-side admin option for Bf1. I also hope we will have this server option in Bf1.
Now I’m seeing some good arguments and opinions. Thank you, guys. This is productive!
It’s a common misconception that fast-paced games require less thinking. BF4 is already slow enough as it is.
I don’t want some grandma pace bore-fest for BF1. So long as it’s BF4 with a WW1 skin and no lock-on weapons, I’m fine.
The pace of the game is mainly dictated by the map design. Although I am for a limited sprint system as it adds an extra level of difficulty. You cannot just sprint everywhere because if you are caught in the open having to walk you will be a easy sniper kill. You will have to think when to sprint and when not to sprint on top of which angle of attack will be to your best advantage.
fast pace is ok if trajectories are predictable and smooth. the alpha doesn’t look very smooth, it looks like bf4 during the first week after the release: jerky, not smooth, chaotic
fast paced games require quick thinking and good reflexes.
its a lot harder and less forgiven then slow paced games.
also BF is not nearly as fast as COD and it wont come close to it.
Well, you can do that, or you can go on the offensive and use your aggression to your advantage.
On topic, bf can be slow, or it can be fast. It all depends on map knowledge of hot zones. It can be a slow as you want (wookies) or gtf in there ptfo fast
" oooh i cant keep up with things happening too fast pls make the game to my liking so i can too feel like a super hero " …
people forget one thing .. best thing about gaming , you get to experience many different games with many different mechanics …
i like slow paced games … rb6. squad .. awesome .. i know what to expect from them and i sure dont go over to their forums and say " hey no minimap !? wtf wrong with u ! i want minimap! also faster pace! "
no i dont say that …
i like fast paced games also … like blops 3 , quake , titanfall …overwatch … now those are fast paced games not bf4 …
bf4 is somewhere in the middle . my friends list is full with people +35 y.o and at least 30% of them are still playing bf4 .. some are crazy killing machines , some are campers but they get the job done …
and all of them adapts …
again best thing about gaming is experiencing different playstyles , paces , mechanics etc …
people need to stop being selfish …
okay, but jerky gameplay is another story. it is not about slow or fast pace, but the quality of animations and the FPS tick the server can handle. the tick in the alpha looks slow.
