So people are mostly complaining about spotting, ttk as in fire rate, background graphics and the map layouts?
I’ve been a fan since the beginning but in all honestly will never buy another DICE game. The same bugs/engine design has been prevalent since I can remember. Mantling is still ridiculously difficult having to punch the A button multiple times before anything happens. The new rendering system means everything looks the same, all the skins have the same colour reference pool and something about the rendering means everything gets this homogeneous haze around it. I sit about 4 feet away from a 49 inch HDTV and I still can’t see people apparently 100 feet away. I always thought the point of any game was to have fun not to try and make it as authentic as possible. I now have way more fun playing COD and older versions of BF than BFV. I enjoyed BF4 because you can spot people by spamming the shoulder button, but that doesn’t make it easier to kill them. BFV greatly favours snipers and anyone who wants to camp near an objective but it also serves to make the game extremely difficult to play and extremely frustrating if you’ve just carpet bombed an objective, ran around for 15 minutes checking every single bush and corner because no one has a flare or no one is looking at the mini map. This probably a lot of fun for the players hiding but it does nothing to balance the game. Personally I would redo the rendering so player figures stand out more at least that way you have some chance of actually seeing someone without using binoculars to play the game.
TTK will always be a problem which is why you always get players picking the guns with the highest fire rates to overcome the lag. Works for me. But it also gets pretty boring after a while. Someone needs to come up with a clever mathematical solution so slower fire rates don’t get lost over the network.
The menu system, AS ALWAYS, sucks a hairy one. Sometimes people will just never learn something. It seems that no matter how many threads how many complaints DICE just keep doing the same thing over and over. I have the pulsing white circle telling me something in loadout has changed but I’m not spending the next hour trying to figure out which skin on which gun under which nation has changed. Either the designer is an old stuck in his ways fool or there are some really arrogant people working at DICE. Stubbornly and belligerently hanging onto THEIR way of doing things.
The maps are at the same time awe inspiriing and WAY too big and unmanageable. It might be fun a few times when you’re stuck with no vehicle having to literally run for miles to get to the objective. After a while that novelty definitely wears thin. I tend to respawn because by the time I get there the game will be over. I think people still want to play the objectives en mass and to get stuck in all these tiny little side wars isn’t that much fun especially if you’ve got no support.
I’m not going to talk about the monetisation because I’m sure most people feel the same way. It’s . Stop doing it. You’ll end up losing more customers than gaining. But who am I…?
I’ll actually pay for something on COD maybe once or twice and Zombies but never have on BF. Apart from renting a server once on BF4. I think it’s to do with their design style. Too many skins look the same, are hard if not impossible to see in-game and so that kind negates the whole purpose of buying stuff and I think why the COD system works so well because you can actually see it all in game.
There’s tons more, but all of this has been said sooooooooooo many times I’m bored. It’s just I’m a fast typer.
Raging! Not gonna spend another Dollar/Pound on this franchise until they actually listen to us & not the 9 year old newbies. Rant over!
