Take a working game use it as a guinea pig, see that it produces a worse gameplay experience, take said gameplay experience and turn it up a notch for the next game.
In all honesty can anyone point out a really solid addition that came with BFV over BF1 or BF4? I was thinking about this as I watched some game play of BF4 and I cannot think of a single thing in BFV that I would say makes it better. Lots of stuff makes it worse though.
Isn’t the point of new editions to expand the game and improve it!?
DICE: Hey everyone has been asking for Bad Company 3 or 2142 sequel for almost a decade…We better make a WW2 game but only the battles that involved fishing villages and churches. And REWRITE that Heavy water mission because screw those veterans.
To the last stand point I saw it in my very first game and never again. It was pretty fun but I’m 99% sure I’ll never see it again as GO is the least fun game mode in this thing.
The removal of 3D spotting and the removal of infinite ammo for (most) vehicles were positive steps. Unfortunately for every step forward they’ve taken two steps back…
EA: Hey, there are over 2,500 servers in BF4 and all paid for by gaming clans, plus we’re selling Premium and Paid DLC to millions of players so we can tell DICE to keep making new content.
EA: Time for BFV, let’s get rid of rented servers so we have to pay for the servers ourselves, and let’s go with Live Service and “free” DLC while we’re at it. Darn, not much money coming in from this game, we better put DICE on a tight budget and forget about those new maps and stuff.
Highly popular and profitable Rental Server Program: Not included and no plans to include it.
One class (recon) have their own set of rules for their weapons that don’t affect any other class.
Spending development time on modes that no one is asking for.
No monetisation what so ever, months after release.
Artistic pride placed before gameplay.
Oh good point on the 3D spotting I for one love that it was removed. I will give them that one. I’m on-board with a change to vehicle ammo but I don’t think it’s done well in BFV.
You mean Team Balance? Or is this different? Cause there is no team balancing whatsoever. Numbers can be completely screwed and there is no autobalance like in BF1. One team is outnumbered 2 to 1 (ratio) Still after nearly 6 months since release. A pure travesty.
I was almost going to say that I’ve been going back to BF1 a lot lately and can’t think of a single thing that makes me go “Oh, I prefer how BFV does it” but lots of instances where BFV is just clearly less fun, balanced, and functional. BUT… I finally came up with one after all. There’s less grenade spam is BFV. Fewer and less effective grenades was a nice change. Sadly that’s about it tho.
