For BfV, I can tell some EP said, “We can make more money by designing the game for the CoD crowd.” So they have emphasized smaller maps, tactical game play, hip firing one shot sniper rifles; basically everything that’s not traditional battlefield. CoD looks like it will be beating them at their own game with 50v50.
And now the game is a mess. I really don’t know what this game wants to be. And the bugs and terrible connections have killed the game for me. Went back to BF1 last night and had a blast. Such a great game and representation of the franchise. Time to begin waiting for BF6
It’s more fun to play and the firefights feel bigger and things blowing up all over the place, I like battlefield v but you need to concentrate more and feels like I’m on the floor half the time
I have recently played the older BFs: BFBC, BFBC Vietnam, Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. But i have to say BF1 has simply the best flow and gun play.
BF1 was/is amazing. It was just epic, the battles, the maps, the sound, the vehicles, the classes, the theme .. amazing, so much fun.
I really do enjoy the ‘customisation’ of BF5 though, it always feels like i have something to strive for, in bf1 it just kinda stopped.
I really wish they held bf5 back a year or 2 and added more stuff and kept ‘working’ on bf1..
For me, BF1 had that bc2 feeliing, and that feeling is great.
For me each new BF game was better than the previous one meaning BF1 is the best to date. BFV is an abomination to the BF franchise. It will easily go down as the worst BF game unless DICE somehow manages to screw the next one up. Which is entirely possible.
I always get the feeling that BFV meant to be this way ! Honestly the last month I was switching games all the way back to bf3 and I came up with the result as BFV had to go through these things personally is not my cup of tea anymore especially on PC ! I mean is beautiful on the eye but it always ends up frustrating for me so I’d rather go and enjoy a finished and kind of polished game rather than sitting in here !
Moving back to BF1 is still a modern game with the old kick of ww1 and still better than BFV ! Obviously BF4 for me it’s still in the legacy holding the originality of the title and the years that DICE was actually willing to go an extra mile to satisfy us ! But right now even with the new patch I don’t see my self getting in so with any improvement in the game I feel like is th core idea they introduced in bfv that I don’t like ! The only way for me to go back to the game is when they will bring up another war story ! Might sound funny but I would like to see the way they will implement some stories
I’ve seen this said about many titles in the past. They said that BF3 was the title that split the community into several factions. People who wanted Bad Company 3 were disappointed. People who wanted BF3 to be a true successor to BF2 were pretty livid (I made a thread about how the Refactor-era fans were upset, which led to the creation of a forum called ‘Mordor’).
BF4 was accused of the same thing. BF Hardline divided a hell of a lot of people.
Pretty much every Battlefield title past Battlefield 2142 has caused some sort of divide.
It’s a lottery ticket imo. Don’t have high expectations.
Do they continue in the same direction or will / can they change direction.
To be honest, I don’t think there’s any chance of BF getting back on track with BF6 or even BC3.
There seem to be forces that want a different BF than it has been in the past.
My patience for video games is such that I find any where’s Waldo FPS where the winning move is to hide and wait a complete waste of time and extremely frustrating.
Double my eugh when the developers literally give prone losers recoil mods.
Hence I have less than 5 hours of play time in BF V.
Pretty much. I mean…I cant stand Bf1 anymore because of the elites and behemoths and cheese auto rotation on console…but at least you FELT like it was a WW1 game. And those little facts displayed while loading gave you a bit of knowledge you may not have known otherwise, which added to the atmosphere
BF1 - don’t get me started. Worst BF ever, my least played. I get it was very polished unlike the travesty that is BFV but holy cow going back to BF1 is just desperate. The bullet sponge softcore gameplay makes me feel sick.
