Hero pickup??? Please NO.

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.

Gamers like the powerups (hero, weapons) in SWBF. What most don’t like (myself included) is the fixed locations of these powerups.

This leads to some gamers ignoring everything going on (objectives, etc.) at the expense of acquiring a specific powerup.

Randomize the powerup locations and you eliminate the biggest complaint about powerups.

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 have played both, even competitively, and cod will always has been more casual, counting past games not future, to say otherwise is really generalizing to the point of ignoring ton of mechanics not found in cod.

And yet COD has a comp scene. Where’s BF4’s?

CoD has a competitive scene specifically because it is more casual. Casual games are getting much more lime-light in e-sports because they can support a large audience. The more hardcore games struggle to get a large playerbase for an e-sports audience. The MOBA craze is another example of super dumbed down games getting “competitive” spotlight that they don’t deserve.

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

Well you see, you spawn into the correct plane and suddenly your average pilot morphs his atoms around to become the Red Baron

I think the concept of heroes in BF1 would be kind of cool.

Imagine playing as the Red Baron or his Allies counterpart!

Or General John Pershing and his Axis counterpart!

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.

What I think is funny is the real gamers are starting to overtake the opinions of the 12 year olds here and online. I’ve chatted at length with randos online past couple days and near to a man they are displeased with the stuff that’s being slowly brought to light or discussed here.

Yet they continue to try to pollute what could be an outstanding near MIL-SIM quality game with stupid hypothetical and fantasy elements. Maybe DICE should read this forum and talk to actual players online. Maybe they’d rethink some of their ideas.

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.

i’ve also seen plenty of CoD players come through and wreck and seen tons of BF players flounder in CoD. that’s not a function of either game’s complexity or casual nature, its a fucntion of differing game mechanics that need adjusting to. tons of CS players (and objectively less casual game) struggle transitioning to BF or Cod simply because the mechanics are unfamiliar.

I say this without fear of a ban.

You are delusional, , self important, and 100% wrong. you literally have the worst opinion possible in regards to BF. You’ll never get what you want because you’re an idiot.

COD has a comp scene because its teams are small enough (6v6) where gamers’ skill matters.

BF1 can do the same (small team sizes).

Why? Because both games are equally casual.

Lol. Tell me how you really feel my epitome of a 12 year old with ADD. Struck a nerve I see. Hmm. Look at the majority of responses to threads such as these. They are pretty much in agreement with where I sit and not you.

What does that tell you?

[ThePoolshark]

This thread is done.

Afnav, if you continue to post that same thing over and over again I am just going to remove you from the forum, it is becoming irritating and spammy
