since spotting is extremely difficult, a map like Stalingrad where it’s all debris and rubble and most uniform will probably still be grey… it’s going to be a sniper hell, just imagine the headglitch spots with all that geometry.
even worse a map like Kursk is probably going to be be Galicia times ten with Stukas and Yaks harassing Infatry to no end with zero cover left to die in burning wheat fields with tanks utterly confused being constanly pushed out of bounds.
don’t get me wrong, it’s borderline a sin not to include the eastern front in WW2 at the beginning. but maybe it’s for a reason, we will need to have some experience before getting into those battles… so for now it’s “easy mode” in Norway and France.
man… the Pacific sounds even worse, Guadalcanal is going to be absolute chaos with players constantly raging about mortars and running out of ammo because they kept shooting at trees.
people want that “authenticity” true, but much like how some of the most rage inducing maps in Battlefield 1 were kinda true to the real thing like Verdun and Galicia, I expect people to genuinely hate what they look for the most- the Eastern Front and the Pacific, that is if we even get there…
People wanted this game to be as historically accurate as possible, and I think that it’s right, camouflage was carried out by every army so I don’t get why they should complain.
There is a point where asking for realism can effect gameplay in a negative way. I think the lack of spotting is so bad right now its effecting the game in a negative way. People ask why the maps feel empty? its because of the lack of spotting, people dont know where the big fights are happening so everyone spawns and runs off in random directions , so 64 players are being spread out all over the map now. You also have lack of ammo , more ralistic yes, but it forces people to hold back on shooting unless they feel they can get the kill 100% , so there less gunfire being herd on the map which again takes away the feeling of a war going on. Supressing fire? na that dont want to run out of ammo.
And ofc what the op said, wait until we get large open field maps where you cant see because of all the rain, snow tall grass , ect. Its going to be a snipers haven and a campers dream. It wont be fun at all. Lets not forget that some of the most loved BF games ever had spotting and were just fine with it. And Spotting came about in the first place because of just this issue alone. I guess people forgot why it was implemented in the first place? and now we’re going to see the consequences of no spotting. Im not even saying the game needs it back to bf4 style, i just mean it needs to be turned up a tad so people have ideas about where is going down and to reduce camping. Have a system where if someone gets spotted ie a sniper camping on the tip of a hill you cant hit, after say 5 spots or so by different players then there spotted for 15 secends, to force the camper to move or get shot.
Also re think limited ammo for vehicles , planes so people can actually give cover fire and bring back some awsome front line combat again.
