lets hope bf1 be like the great bf1942 and not pay to win model

That game was made by Easy Studios only in association with DICE and EA because of the Battlefield brand. I don’t think anyone actually counts BFP4F as a “real” Battlefield title, nor Battlefield Heroes.

Battlefield Heroes
Battlefield Play4Free

So its Pay2win, play2grind then…
Aka War Thunder model…

I love the ACE weapons. I don’t watch you tubers, so I wasn’t influenced by them. I just happen to like the Galil. Israel knows how to make good assault rifles. MTAR is another fav of mine.

Props for using the SG553. It’s my favourite carbine by far and it’s not very commonly used in BF4 or BF3 for that matter. ACE21CQB and ACE52CQB are both really good, but the SG553’s got more ‘character’.
the 830 RoF is really good for up close surprises.

well here you go bf1 will be pay to win just like bf4 the Ultimate Shortcut Bundle and premium.

this is why i play fhsw bf1942 for free alot of new maps for free always new mods in the making for free
and no pay to win!

One word; EPIC!
O and mod support yeah
The best Battlefield is based on a mod!
It’s time DICE need to act like a man. DICE don’t need EA , its 180 degrees other way around. Crowd funding anyone?

missing 1942 :confused: not gonna be like 42 i guess, but i think bf1 is going in the right direction.

So, the 2 free to play games were pay 2 win?

Who would have thunk it

Main line Battlefield games have never been pay 2 win… this thread makes no sense to me

^^^^^
That

Also, Battlefield P4F and Heroes were both heavily developed by Easy Studios only in association with DICE.

I don’t know anyone who counts them as actual Battlefield releases.

Pay to win ?

The funny thing,the best weapons are from the base game,the dlc guns are so easy to unlock,why waste money on the bundle pack is beyond me.

A lot of people cry that you can buy battlepacks,I never understood why,they are a waste of money imo,let them throw their hard earned cash lol.

Though that is not the actual meaning of what Pay2win means. Pay2win is if you can buy a weapon with real money or something else which cannot be unlocked via experience. It also might have better statistics etc. That gives an advantage over regular weapons which are unlockable by everyone.

i don’t think the OP understands what “Pay2Play” means.

Pay2Play unlocks above average gear for a player, giving said player comparitave advantages against those unwilling to pay.

DICE’s whole philosophy is “rock paper scissors” which directly conflicts with the notion of Pay2Play.

Is there purchasable content for BF? Yes.

But it doesn’t unlock anything that is 100% superior. There are no purchasable “God Guns” in the Battlefield series.

I have no problem paying for premium- I typically wait a year for them to iron all the issues out, and by then, premium is like $20 or less…win-win for me.

a lot of people havnt got time to play 1000 hours to unlock everything or the money to buy shortcuts

…I’ve got 600 hours logged in BF4, across two and a half years, and I had everything unlocked before I even hit that point.

I had everything I WANTED to use unlocked before I even hit 250 hours, and that was mainly because some of the stuff I love using in the game wasn’t even available until DLC’s released.

I think I need to clarify that, since I was a mod on those games as well since 2010…

DICE developed Heroes (look for old news about it or a website “snapshot” from the “time machine” and you’ll see DICE logos) including the changes to BF2142 engine and everything else, that was back in 2008, there was no “EAsy studios” at all back then and it was inside the old DICE building, with Ben Cousins as Manager…heck, even Aleksander Grøndal worked a lot on it…

It was a experiment game (hence why it was so barebones, it was never meant to last as long as it did) made to test the F2P market on the west, since it was a famous and working model in Asian countries for years, and it worked since it just closed on 2015 (3 more years and it would have been a decade since Closed Beta), a long time for a F2P game…

EAsy studios was formed inside DICE and then got a separate building once the separate studio was formed, a lot of the devs there are still working for DICE this days after closure for games like SW Battlefront or Mirror’s Edge Catalyst

EAsy studios was already properly formed by the reveal of BFp4f, but by that time the engine for that game (a heavily modified Heroes engine, which was a BF2142 engine) and everything else was already set in stone, pending some minor development…

So, it was not “developed just in association”, it was fully developed…

Have you played BF3 and 4?
Yes?
Has there been any issue with that in those games?
No?

Then no issues here either, end of story
