No please or not in the same style as Battlefront and not as strong as heros in battlefront ---

How would hero pick-ups even work in a game like Battlefield? They do not belong, it’s that simple. 😕 ---

I think BF has become even more casual of a game since its inception than some gamers would care to admit (or even believe). I think powerups (hero, weapons) are certainly fine for BF1 from that perspective. Powerups worked great for SWBF. I think they will for BF1 as well. Imagine picking up the powerup for General Jack Pershing (Allies) or the Red Baron (Axis). That’d be a lot of fun. ---

> [@Lordmang4](#): > > Powerups worked great for SWBF. I think they will for BF1 as well. Problem is these are two completely different games / series and do not / will not play the same way. Battlefield does not benefit from pick-ups. In fact, they distract players from what’s really happening ingame. Everyone will want to be the guy armoured machine guy or the flame thrower guy and refuse to play the actual game until they can be this dumb hero. You said it yourself, Battlefront has players camping the heros just to be the hero and not actually playing the game otherwise. ---

Hero ? we saw only two things in the trailer,the flame thrower and the armor guy,pick up that’s all,flame thrower a little bit op,when it’s empty throw it on the ground,the armour guy get a little bit of health that last a little bit longer,that all,armors wasn’t even effective in battle. Nothing to see there. ---

You said it yourself, Battlefront has players camping the heros just to be the hero and not actually playing the game otherwise. That’s why the powerups must be placed in random locations. Otherwise, it turns into a campfest for powerups. ---

Ever heard of the middle east? lol Anyhow, I know BF is more casual than Arma, but it’s nowhere near as casual as CoD or Battlefront. I just meant I don’t want it becoming any more casual than it has become. It’s good where it is now (although I’d like to see normal replaced with classic) ---

BF is just as casual as CoD. deal with it. its hyper casual. you revive people with defibrilators. I mean, come on, that’s just objectively stupid. ---

If it turns out to be the case, I will cancel my pre-order. The only thing worse than seeing people running across No Mans Land with dumb looking customizations (purple hair, pig masks, Bright purple uniforms with gold tiger stripes) would be seeing Winston Churchill charging up a hill carrying a Tommy Gun… Hero pick-ups would be a complete disaster. ---

As someone who’s played BF and COD quite a bit, I can tell you that they’re both casual games. The difference in their casualness isn’t as great as you’d like to think it is. ---

I personally would rather not see “Hero” pickups in BF1. That being said, it seems that most of the complaints regarding the Hero Pickups in SWBF and how they would affect BF1 stem from their location being camped, distraction from in game objectives etc. The problem with these arguments is that those are complaints about the players, not the pick ups themselves. There will always be cheaters, not to mention people who simply choose to play the game in a different way then you might play it. Camp Sniping for example. It would simply be impossible to create a game that has zero possible exploits and at the same time would make every player everywhere happy. We simply have to hope that the good parts of the game out weigh the bad. Luckily we will get a free open beta to try the game out and make an informed choice. Or we could continue to debate what may or may not be in the game based on someones opinion of what they think they saw in the trailer. ---

CoD’s way more casual than BF. Most of my FPS buddies won’t play BF for five minutes without complaining about big maps, vehicles and recoil. Ever see a CoD n00b’s 1st round in BF? 2-24 anyone? The learning curve and game modes in general aren’t nearly as easy peasy casual as CoD. I don’t really give a flying rat’s though. I play games for fun. ---
