Wondering if the PC version will be enhanced to take advantage of directx12 and modern graphics cards etc…?? Hoping not an XBOXONE port. ---

it is possible seeing as it has the same (or close to) rendering system as battlefront and it was running directx 12 don’t see an advantage for only directx 11 usage ---

well couldnt care less bout dx12, gameplay is what is all about in multiplayer games, if they make bf3 like gameplay, netcode, snappy movement, twich fps just copy of bf3 gameplay with better 2016 graphics it can be best shooter in the world who cares about battlepacks and million different unlocks and camos. I just hope it wont be bf4 or battlefront reskin although battlefront felt better and snapier than bf4 and looked amazing but has horible maps design and weapons, unlocks, cards and pickups where horible also that “enemy killed” in white color in left part of screen from frosbite 3 games is just horible you cant see when you killed someone well and is not rewarding like it was in bf3 so all frosbite 3 games where 100h of gameplay max and only first 20 hours of fun when is all new, i preordered them all so i can rant 🙂 also hardline wasnt good so nothing is even close to bf3 yet, i just hope they make new frosbite engine for new battlefield and not frosbite 3 console game ported to pc also to take they time bc DICE can make best multiplayer fps games in world, but bf1 comes in oct. 2016 prob on f3 probably with same problems as bf4 and probably ported from console ☹ with mixed new stuff from bf4 and battlefront so probably we will have pickups, cards, battlepacks and many other not needed and annoying stuff…so bf1 will probably have dx12 support with 0% improvments from dx11 in same old frosbite 3 engine and we will buy new 1080gtx just to play console ported game for 20 hours 🙂 ---

The Frostbite engine is constantly being developed to improve the existing and to take advantage of new technologies. Including DX12 and the features of new graphics cards. I don’t see why you would think Battlefield 5 will be any different 🙂 ---

We don’t need another twitch shooter. In my opinion that’s not what BF is about. BF is about team work, co-ordination, balance, communication, playing the objective. It’s not about K/D, no scopes, how many kills you got before dying, etc. If someone is after a twitch type shooter, there are plenty coming out this year. Make BF what it should be. I’d say for me, I really do hope they’ve put some effort into the PC side with regards to DX12 support, textures, aiming, movement, hit detection, etc. Developers, (not just Dice), need to realise that there is a difference between PC and console, what works on one will not work on the other. Yes it might mean longer development, and maybe even twice as much effort, but unless you’re willing to put that time and effort in, you shouldn’t try and sell a product in a “one size fits all” package. You’ll just end up pi$$ing people off. I also hope lessons have been learned from BF4. Hope they have more servers in more locations. I’m hoping they’ve taken things like the netcode improvements from BF4 and incorporated them into BF1. Hoping they’ve looked at their map design and again realised a “one size fits all” approach isn’t the best, and different game modes require different types of maps. Trailer looked amazing, never thought I’d be this interested in a WWI shooter, (my thoughts were a WWI shooter would just be trench warfare), but they’ve really tried to make this interesting. Love the fact that there will be no “lock on weapons”, there should be no sights, (apart from snipers), basically I’m hoping weapons have been stripped back to basics, so a players skill at the game counts. Most importantly though, I hope they really reward team work and objective play above all else. BF3 and BF4 had started down a slippery slope, not helped by some of the totally ridiculous assignments that Dice came up with for players to unlock certain weapons/gadgets. I mean whoever thought of coming up with the M320 assignment should really play the game when you join a 64 player Locker/Metro server and the majority of the match is spent with people just spamming the out of their M320. How this was supposed to encourage team work is a well kept secret. Far as I could tell, every “medic” who was spamming the M320 on Metro, had swapped out his paddles for the M320, (obviously keeping his med bag so he could sit on it in a corner and heal themselves!) Meaning revives where merely a whispered rumour!! The trailer looked amazing, but Dice are the kings of creating epic trailers, (seriously no one does them better). But I want them to deliver. Please deliver this title as a true BF title. Not about appealing to the run ‘n’ gun mentality, but to those who’ve been looking for a true successor to BF2! ---

Yeah, couldn’t agree more. I hope they make the PC version different than the consoles. Tired of Devs making an AIO game that is intended for all systems. PC’s are not consoles, they cost many times over what a console costs, and the hardware is much different. High end graphic cards and CPU’s… not to mention SSD’s, RAM, and UHD Displays with insane resolutions and Refresh rates can make games look and feel more realistic. Porting games is a bad idea and pi$$ing people who have high end systems by making game that works the same on all platforms is bad for busine$s! Why would I invest into building a computer that can score over 20,000pts on FireStrike? So i could play the same game as a XBOX or PS4? Certainly not! The reason is to use the latest DX drivers and take full advantage of the API. I know it appeals to many that cross platform gaming can be done and is considered for upcoming titles, I just hope they dont do it with FPS’s because that will strip down the mechanics and performance of all the serious gamers that know why they are playing on a PC that they invested their hard earned dinero to build. For EXAMPLE… If I pre-order and find out that they did a port like SWBF, I become a person who feels that the customer has been dupped and swindled into buying a game… again… So future business will be hindered because I was taken for a ride! It would make people hesitant and wouldn’t recommend the game to their family and friends. Who loses here? It becomes a title that only CONSOLE players play, most PC gamers would get an instant refund and that’s that! Please, make a PC version only BF1, with PC players in mind. We are the reason you are successful in the first place… since BF1942… Don’t turn your backs on us DICE! Going back to WWI is great, but going back to the basics that made gaming on PC’s the best would be even more epic! Mod Kits, Dedicated servers, and larger maps with more players! Also, I hope you guys know that cheating is becoming an issue, and people who stream cheats are becoming rich! They are profiting heavily by ruining our ONLINE gaming experience. Why don’t you guys go after them legally, people like HELIOS that provide stream’s at AA? Are you scared of him or something? He’s got millions… follow the money… take him to court and end these hacks already! Had to throw that in there, because If you go to his site… chances are he is providing hackers tools for games that came out recently, even BETA’s! And we the consumer have to suffer, while both parties get rich… one for selling games…the other from providing cheats! Starting to think after 13 years of gaming on PC’s that they are together on it somehow… or are afraid of the guy… because they haven’t done to stop him… and we have reported it and they are still in operation! Get the team of lawyers, or hire me… I’ll take care of it… so you can focus on making the game… I’ll fly to his location with a warrant in hand and a 2X4 in the the other… ---

@ drunkmonk74 while i can see your point about some things and i agree, half of what you are saying is wrong imo, i dont want to argue with you but you could never swap paddles for anything else as a medic so you obviosly didnt play bf3 that much and bf2 was one of the most twich, and responsive games of that time, that is why it was so succesfull, also bf2 was the game that rewarded individual skill and killstreaks more than good teamplay and first widely popular fps montage videos with killstreaks and rambo gameplay are from bf2, if you want teamplay in bf games play squad rush with your friends or conquest against another platoon, even in bf2 or arma, or any other fps game you cant find servers with good teamplay unless half of server is your friends or people that want to play objectives while another half will do what they want u cant make game that will make all players ptfo…but however you want to play most important thing in first person shooter games is to have great/fast response, that it is twitchy and with fast and not sluggish movement with accurate hitreg and that weapons have that natural felling with leading moving targets and accurate recoil animation of weapon so we can adjust and consistent bullet drop and in bf3 that was almost perfect imo, and sadly non of frosbite 3 fps games had that except maybe sw battlefront where they improved so much from bf4 but still not as near as good as in bf3…just look posts with most hoahs on battlelog “battlefield world premiere” majority of pc gamers wants another game like bf3 from dice… ---

Who needs DX12 or any DX while there is platform agnostic OpenGL? If a developer commits to MS DX they are ignoring those of us who prefer to use alternative OS’s; Linux, MacOS, etc. OpenGL and DX are, to all intent and purposes, feature matched. It is only a corporate cartel which makes accessing many (if not most) AAA games impossible for people who opt not to use MS Windows. There are a number of quality games built using OpenGL which play equally well on Linux, MacOS and Windows xxx. Though 90% of which I’ll never play, I always purchase any SteamPlay game just to reward dev’s who wisely implimented OpenGL. Game ports are invariably rubbish, the best performing always started life with OpenGL. ---

@SucqMacaque I didn’t mean BF3 for the M320 assignment, I was talking BF4. BF4 you could switch out the paddles for M320 and due to that assignment, (in Locker and Metro especially), it meant your medics weren’t doing the very basic part of their class…reviving and therefore reducing or slowing down your ticket loss. The assignment was called “Ultimate Assault” and yes it had some good parts that encouraged team work, but getting 50 kills with the grenade launcher and 10 kills on the enemy with the paddle, didn’t really encourage team work. In my opinion anyway. (hence I refused to complete it) As for the twitch part, maybe I misunderstood what you meant, but yes of course a nice fluid movement would be essential, no one wants to feel like they’re running in mud. But hey, we’re all here for the same reason, we want to see a solid game, with as smooth a launch as possible. Sure we’ll all have some different opinions, but on those counts I think we can all agree. Good luck in the game dude. ---

Not including DX 12 is a huge oversight. Considering how CPU intensive BF games tend to be, DX12’s low level API will cut down on the CPU consumption and can have dramatic effect on performance. ---
