EA should block all peasant-gen only users on the BF1 forums until they get current gen or PC registered. maybe a compromise would be to have an icon in their Avatar that clearly shows them as peasant-only users, so we know when to discount their opinions more easily.

thoughts?

Ah yes, discount, the only thing they’ve known their whole lives…

But seriously, they have no opinion on the game, WWI was not fought with 24 people at a time.

First of all I think you should stop calling them “peasant” users. We are all gamers at heart and that should connect us together no matter what hardware we enjoy or can afford. You can get your points across without talking condescending to people.

WW1 was not fought with 64 people at a time, either. Player numbers are only as relevant as the maps and modes that they play on.

Last gen players have as much of an opinion on the game as everyone else - none of us have played BF1.

Well, once the game comes out, if they don’t own it, they won’t be able to post, regardless of who they are.

Right now, anyone who has owned a BF since BF3 can post. Most of this stuff is all speculation and discussion on bad things people want to ruin the game with, so really anyone can insert terrible opinion

You have to be kidding me if you ever thought there were only 24 people at any one battle at a time. Trust me, I did my research, that’s never happened and it would be historically inaccurate for DICE to portray WWI as that small and quaint just to appease a certain crowd.

By that logic you should give me your opinions on Overwatch and how the game is doing? Oh right…

This is the guy who told me to start saving money because he couldnt comprehend someone else’s insult towards me and mistakenly thought i was on a last gen console. @YOURDRUNKDADDY is a clown.

Why do you continue running your mouth, you don’t even play BF4 but it seems you’re spending a lot of time on these forums.

Maybe you should take some of his advice and start saving money for a $5 copy of BF4.

You completely missed the point I was making. You said that battles were not fought with 24 people. My response was that the argument is silly and entirely irrelevant as they weren’t fought with 64 people either.

Whether it’s 64 players or 24, it doesn’t matter if the maps are designed around them. Battlefield won’t ever be historically accurate, nor will it ever portray real war. It never has, and never will. It’s an arcade first person shooter. Outside of authenticity, history doesn’t have much relevance. It’s merely a canvas for them to work with, nothing more.

I’m not even sure what argument you’re making with Overwatch. It seems like an amazing game that’s managed to hit a sweet spot between Moba’s and team-based arena games.
