Its funny how you fanboys get mad over somebody making the same joke that others have already made. But because i’m not somebody who bums BF1 you dont see the funny side. ---

Probably. BF4 even after all of its updates is still one of the worst BF games I’ve played (in my opinion of course) It had way to much bloat in terms of weapons and gadgets, the maps where mostly poor to play on and felt like they where designed from an aesthetic point rather than a gameplay point. Probably would have dropped it for an updated console BF3 in a heartbeat. ---

Gonna play both, if I want to play a modern warfare game I go for bf4, if I’m bored of bf4 I go play bf1 for the BritsnWebley, cycle repeats until I get my ww2/proxy war/bad company 3 battlefield game. Problem I had with bf3 and bf4 was both had their ups and downs which made me want to play either game but in the end had to permanently stop playing one of the other due to the 24 player limit 😕 ---

It’s definitely time to move on from BF4 - it’s just been out for too long, and even with all the content, feels very stale. That being said, it’s still the premier modern shooter out right now, so it won’t be totally replaced. But BF1 is definitely going to be a lot of people’s primary shooter now. I ---

> [@disposalist](#): > > After playing BF1 beta, BF4 feels like such a manic mess. Every weapon is so effective over every range that random death comes from all sides with no reason. No time for tactics and thoughtful play, just a sequence of tap-twitch gunfights. Well, I try and play tactically, but because no one else seems to see the need, it just doesn’t work. This pretty much nails it. It’s really bad on PS4, it’s just being played like deathmatch with weird letters on the minimap I kept getting frustrated yesterday trying to play rush defending Paracel, Everyone just bunched up on the MCOMs and we kept getting flanked because the enemy team knew what they were doing. Recognizing this, I kept trying to defend the flanks, but there’s only so much 1 person can do when you have entire squads driving at you from the side. Then on Golmud we got all the MCOMs except for the last set which requires running across LOTS of open ground under sniper/DMR fire. It would’ve taken MAYBE 2 people with XM25 Smoke to provide enough cover to advance, but no, everyone just hung back and took potshots at enemies while we bled tickets forever. ---

Oh I see so you think in bf1 people will play more tactically? Lol good luck with that. ---

Maybe still with platoon members who haven’t moved on, but I will be nagging them… That is great for bad players. Now, no one accept snipers can kill you when you thoughtlessly run out in the open. There is no precision aiming anymore, accept for snipers. Within the range where the assault weapons can kill anyone, you can´t miss anyway. It´s stupid and favor unskilled players in every possible way. Not the other way around like bad players seems to think. Now, they don´t need to even try to get better at aim quicker and with more precision, that won´t reward you anyway. I guess that´s how dice wants it. Of all the people that pay for the game, most people don´t give a s#it about trying to become more skilled anyway. They will just whine that they are getting killed all the time. Trophies for everyone. ---

Who is going to be quicker on the trigger. I honeslty didnt notice a difference comparing friends from bf4 to bf 1. KD ratios were similar and so was the score difference between a skilled friend and a not so skilled friend. The difference was, the unskilled friend found the experience much more enjoyable, without actually doing any better stat wise than they did in bf 4. ---

Like giving an “I win” button to a class in an MMO that you can do nothing about. When you have exactly the same options at your disposal alls fair. so noobs cant miss? (which is bollicks by the way), then the skilled player distinguishes himself by shooting first and landing critical headshots [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/is-bf1-gonna-replace-bf4-for-you/102459.md?page=4) [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/is-bf1-gonna-replace-bf4-for-you/102459.md?page=6)
