IMO the game is much less buggy, TTK seems better, and new maps like Marita are actually really good. If they make more maps where conflict is funnelled into Hot spots like Marita has, I am very encouraged. I have since rediscovered my MGO Support Machine Gun I earned early on and am enjoying the heck out of it! It’s a 300 round 100 round belt tack driver!
TTK has seem to improved and weapons seem to actually do something…sure I get killed faster too…lol. But I don’t complain.
My only criticism at this point is:
Not enough stationary weapons…even the buildable ones.
Why no Shotguns for Assault Class?!?! It makes no sense!
More tanks and vehicles and more anti-tank weaponry that balances it.
Other than that, I have been playing BFV a lot more lately and enjoying it much more. Anyone else getting hopeful?
I never thought it was as bad as many were making it out to be. I’ve loved it basically from the start. I will say it got better the more time I put in, and the better I got. I don’t know if updates and patches helped as well, but I feel like most of it is just having the familiarity with the game.
Also made a mistake on my favorite gun…played last night and saw it was the VGO…D’oh!
For my playing style, I don’t see any class worth playing other than Support. The only class that lats me choose between shotgun and long range bipod machine guns.
Though I did notice something that annoyed the hell out of me…laying down AP mines for protection at the bottom of stairs…after a few minutes they would fade away in the order I placed them. It was infuriating! What’s the point of that? You don’t even have to be killed for them to dissappear! Why even have them?!? I switched back to something useful like the grenade launcher.
I felt the same way for a long time, and it’s still definitely my most productive class, but I’ve learned to branch out a bit and get more comfortable with other classes.
For me it was a combination of finding a gun that was a good fit for me, and really adjusting play style. For Medic, I got the Thompson with the drum clip and learned that close quarters, hip fire combat is where it really excelled. For Assault, I just recently tried the M1907 and it’s rejuvenated that class for me.
Sadly the 2 new maps are going to be squad conquest only… not my favorite game mode. Also kinda hard to play it with my clan mates as it only supports 8 people per team.
Yeah I’m with this too. I’ve loved it from day one, (obvious bugs aside) it’s just the lack of maps that’s preventing me playing more consistently. I will concede tho that bf1 felt more gritty and more like a war zone, the tone isn’t right in bfv but I love the way the guns feel so overall the gameplay trumps any minor issues for me.
BTW: for some reason my ipad will not let the forum display my answer seperately under who I quoted…it just shows it as the same thing. It seems to be an ipad thing.
I feel the same way, BF1 really had a more somber and serious look and tone. BFV feels decidedly more “game-y” if that makes sense? I’m sure firestorm and all the skins and characters nonsense contributes as well.
I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again, and I’ll say it a million more times… we need more maps and worthwhile content to keep the player-base savvy.
The potential is there for this game but getting drip fed worthwhile content every other month Is a huge disappointment for a battlefield game.
I love the battlefield franchise and I want to see it succeed but without worthwhile content (to keep us the players interested) the game will eventually see itself off.
You know I kept reading this and thinking there wasn’t THAT many fewer maps than BF1. When I looked back though, I realized it actually was more than double of what V has, even including the recent addition of Marita and Mercury. Maybe it’s just me, but I do feel the maps in V are generally much better, perhaps that’s why I didn’t feel like it was lacking? Maybe quality over quantity, but yeah I’d love a few more new ones anyhow.
Yes it is better than release. And so it should be after almost a year. But still nowhere as good as it should be. Still many many problems such as crashing, bouncing off small obstacles on the ground, lack of servers etc etc etc.
Personally I have 4 assignments tracking, but don’t focus on finishing them. if they get fulfilled by chance, so be it. Rewards are lame, and I don’t understand the emphasis on different uniforms or facepaint…for who? The other players to see? I won’t see any of the changes in FPV!
And what do I care what color the tank is? Complete a long string of objectives just to get a new tank skin? LAME!
Early on the rewards were pretty good. I TREASURE my VGO machine gun!!! I am SO glad I finished objectives to earn that puppy!
For the record, I paid $80 for the premium version and started with Beta. The game has come a long way, but to this day I still can’t figure out what I got for that extra $20! Now they are practically giving the game away. I am still glad I started from day one, as there were some cool things to be earned.
