Stop for the most part. A super realistic game would be no fun the parachutes not being in the game I agree with but realistic bullet damage would not be fun. Literally every gun would basically be a ohk. That would not be fun at all. Regards to carrying lmgs why not like many have already said nobody had a problem in BF3-4 why is this an issue now? I like many others want an authentic game where I can apply simple realistic tactics.
I agree that a WW1 simulation would really be overkill. Even games like Arma aren’t appealing at all to me. However I’am all for everything that could help the immersion of WW1. I’am sure Dice did a really good job on that though.
That’s fine I just don’t want to be shot once and die. That’d be the death of this game.
You gave 1 example out of probably many mgs that’ll be in the game. BTW what kind of MG is that?
I’m all in for a realistic era, realistic weapon models, vehicles models, sounds, and even movement speeds but realistic bullet damage is a no-no. That would make BF1 a game that will be stale and oppressive to the core Battlefield elements.
This right pretty much sums up what I’m trying to say
Maschinengewehr 08
I’m not going to lie that’s a real sexy gun. There’s images on Google showing Germans carrying it and a different variant with a butt and no butterfly trigger. Is that a model that was around during WW1?
A head-shot then, like a head-shot now… and with the slower rate of fire, accuracy will be key. Spray 'n pray was the lot of the MG gunner, which was a prime sniper target. If you expect to dash across no man’s land shouting ‘Leeeeeerooooy Jenkiiiiiins’ and not get mowed down if there are no one hit kills for the snipers at least, you might as well get used to the idea ww1 isn’t your thing is my guess.
Well… one hit kills are one thing… Running and gunning with heavy stationary WATER COOLED machine guns to make it “more fun” is another..
No that’s not what I do lol headshot I have no problem with. The only time I really run and gun is in close quarters. I’m pretty good at finding flanking routes and setting my MG up. I almost primarily use MGs in all fps games I do spray but it’s usually to try and keep heads down or draw fire to myself in order for squad mates to move/advance.
That’s not what I meant sorry for not being specific I was just trying to get my point across in my op. I would never do that and like I said to the guy above you I’d only really do that to keep heads down or draw fire to me.
That was not meant to you directly… Its more about official dice statement, that there will be handheld guns, that were used only as stationary during war to make it “more fun and balanced”
Yeah, as for that I’m really hoping they put a certain restriction on SMGs as they were a rare thing even in 1918. Like maybe class restricted for units of appropriate nations, or field pickups. In the trenches, you really want a trench gun (shotgun) or a good pistol for hipfire due to the chaotic shape of the trenches. Oh and nades.
Mind you if you’re any good with the SMLE…
Ohhhhhh but at the same time I can understand why they would allow you to use it like that. I mean let’s be real the average Bf player is not very smart lol. Op locker is a perfect example of people not thinking. Everyone runs down the middle instead of flanking on the outside or just standing in a doorway blocking 5 guys behind you from getting into an area.
I’d rather Dice embellish the truth a bit and make certain weapons available to carry that weren’t irl than be stuck with a limited roster of weapons and weapon types.
imo a little outside the box thinking to increase the weapon variety is a good thing for the game. Staying too stringent to the actual facts of the war reduces the fun factor. I trust Dice to walk the line without going overboard.
No most likely I won’t be that great with the SMLE. That’s an Enfield with a bigger mag right? I have my moments with bolt actions but for the most part I suck I know my role. I agree with the smgs though I’d like to see more bolt actions to keep that authentic feel.
Lmao that guy was quick. I’m also really excited to see more hand to hand combat weapons.
