If you remove zero skill lockons?
Zero skill lockons have historically been for new or bad players so they aren’t completely defenseless against vehicles, and eventually they would either quit the game or become better players and use RPGs
Now with BF1 and no possible way to justify zero skill lockons, how will the casual and bad players stay long enough to keep spending money on DLC and microtransactions?
I don’t think that will be a problem, I’ve only played BF since BF3 and I always hated using lock-ons. Even the biggest noob can learn to live without cheap tactics and if they are to lazy to go through that trouble I’d rather not see them in BF anyway.
Wait until you see the new wave of snipers. I predict there will be many.
That’s not a difficult prediction to make, considering that bolt action rifles were the predominant weapon of the era.
ATM we have no idea how powerful/weak the vehicles will be, it’s impossible to speculate things like this. Will tanks be easy targets for AT rifles and bundled charges? Will planes take damage from all firearms and be easy to shoot down that way? Who knows.
I can’t speak for the tanks but I think aircraft will be vulnerable to infantry weapons.
BFHL and SWBF both had aircraft that were vulnerable to infantry weapons. This helped create balance between ground and air forces.
The tanks will be painfully slow and that will be their vulnerability. They won’t have the fire power we think of when we think tank. More like hmg. The planes will take hardly any damage at all, and they too won’t have much in the way of weaponry. As for infantry, scout will be the go to class as it will out gun anything.
I called it here.
Sure Dice/EA will give the baddies some OP noob tool. So they can feel like they are not completely useless.
What I really like is there will mostly be iron sights on weapons. These noobs from the last few BF titles(CoD transplants) are going to have to learn to shoot finally! ha ha
A really good point.
I haven’t played CoD since MW3; as far as I can remember, there weren’t any lock on weapons in that game, and CoD is still the poster child for casual gaming.
I don’t think there’s an issue to be concerned about.
By not being Infinite Warfare, other than that who cares. If DICE/EA made Battlefront for casual gamers, there’s no reason to Atwater down BF1 as well.
A SMG will likely be one of the early unlocks. Pretty much the new M16A3 from BF3.
They shouldn’t cater to casual players, it’s what they did in battlefront
And look how that turned out. They ended up with a community of whining, crying, nerf calling babies. Battlefront has one of the most immature and toxic communities of all of the FPS out there.
Exactly.
But battlefront is possibly the most casual fps released lately
Yes we are concerned BF1 will be too casual
When you two are done patting yourselves on the back for being such “mature” gamers, I hope you’re not too disappointed when you find out that BF1 will appeal to casual gamers almost as much as SWBF did.
@Lordmang4 Ah yes always the condescending one you are, I don’t care if casual gamers like it, the more the merrier, but I don’t want the devs to pander to a bigger audience, keep it complex, where strategy and tactics are needed, don’t boil the game to the bone like battlefront is. I really advise you read through what people actually are getting at instead of taking snip its of dialogue to start up unnecessary bickering
You literally cannot make it more casual than battlefront or bf4.Because there are no high tech gadgets,1000 rof weapons everywhere ,lock ons,vehicles with 10 guns and thermals on them ,and from SWBF like one shot kill bodyshot rifle or homing shots
What can they do? Remove recoil? BF4 has none anyway.Maybe they’ll still find a way to make it casual cause it’s DICE,but generally they have to try hard to do that
