I’m part of the core community and I welcome a kill cam it forces people to move. If you want hard core, you should ask dice for an hardcore mode. Not everyone here wants to sweat all the time. So etk es we just want to play and relax.
You are not the core community.
You are exactly the kind of people who posed as core community, and thusly, the game has large abandoned by the playerbase from BF1.
You are right, this is all the people who like this sort of gameplay. ONLY A FEW.
A sincere question. Is there any word on whether this Hardcore Mode is coming or not? It seems, these are all Hardcore enthusiasts, not BF vanilla players.
All this nonsense about ttk (now at hardcore levels and to the point of near unplayable), kill cam and they don’t want that. Everyone having to lay prone a** in the grass. And they want MORE???
All this 'hardcore" is KILLING this game, and will be dead before long.
I have an idea, NERF the ttk, and just come out with a Hardcore Mode for these folks. Jesus already with all this.
I have no problems with a Killcam in general. But i dont need to see the whole childhood story of my Killer!
I am there to play, not to watch a movie ! Reduce the time from bingewatching every Lord of the Rings movie to something shorter.
From a business point of view it is very smart to make parts of the game more casual (BF1 had perfect sales numbers) so everyone is capable of making kills and feels good about playing and having fun without too much effort.
From a hardcore/competitive point of view you don’t want that.
The problem is DICE/EA “refuse” to “split up” the community, which is the only solution.
Too many people have too many different preferences and just can’t be pleased with one design.
Very detailed RSP where everything (killcam, spotting, resupplies, friendly fire, footsteps, TTK/TTD, ping limit, customizations, etc) can be adjusted is the ONLY way to go to please as much people as possible. (and raise sales)
Hardcore fans can just adjust everything and will be pleased too. (or have only Dice official servers with casual and hardcore servers based on demand)
Refusing to do that or just saying: don’t like it don’t buy it will hurt sales like crazy.
But also make designing and building the game very hard, lots of elements are not compatible right now and it feels like 5 different half baked games in one and not like 1 solid game and 1 idea.
The success of the franchise relies on influx of new players, which relies on the game not having too steep a learning curve. Sure, they’ll want to play the fans who have stuck with the franchise, but the new fans become old fans. You can sell a couple of glasses of lemonade to your neighbor and call it a day, or you can set up a lemonade stand and hope to get a lot of passing traffic. It’s pretty much business 101. EA isn’t going to put up millions for a game that sells ten thousand copies.
Making the game more “Casual” is also highly arbitrary. There’s no community standard as to what’s casual and what isn’t. It’s just more buzz wording from people who need an excuse to explain why they aren’t playing as well as they think they should be. Just stop.
Exactly the point of the topic.
They keep trying to casualize the game and have to keep changing it back because nobody likes it.
Thanks for your input though.
