What is wrong with slowing the game down? Nothing. It actually gets players to think about how they will attack a certain position. Thereby they will be less likely to die due to rash decisions. Thereby the game play improves.
What is wrong with fast paced game play. Try playing Counter Strike while running around everywhere. You will be killed. Fast paced game play only favors those with the best twitch skills and those running around with SMGs.
everything. BF has always been fast paced. why are we trying to diverge from that?
or people need to think faster. i dont care if scrubs die more, im not here to make their life easier.
OR, you could have a good understanding of the movement mechanics and play fast, and still do well. all the best pushes happen at a fast pace. the game rewards fast pace striking in every instance except peek fights.
So Battlefield franchise has always been fast paced? Really? So you have played Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142? I would say we are going back to the roots of the franchise if we were to slow it down. Do you really think that in war they run everywhere?
Do they not plan their advance? How, from which direction. Yeah you probably going to say this is no war simulator. But this is also no COD simulator with tanks. People work in a squad not on their own. The squad leader chooses which direction will be best for the squad to move. Skill is not just how fast you can twitch your fingers. Skill is to make the best decision. Skill is to be able to work in a squad. You should reward the squad that has the most skill. Not by counting enemies killed but by counting the number of flags captured. Capturing a flag takes real skill not just twitching.
BF2 was fast paced in the actual combat. it was only “slower” because they designed the maps around vehicles. everything else engendered itself to twitch play.
BF2 is also the anomaly in the series. BF 1942 was very fast paced.
remind me how slow BF2 was again?
looks pretty fast to me.
and the more skilled squads can do all that mental work much faster.
dont cap their abilities because YOU cant make tactical decisions on the fly.
depends on the flag. you need to kill to cap a flag. and if you dont, its abandoned and takes no skill at all.
Believe me. Battlefield 2 was not fast paced as compared to Battlefield 4. Yes the gun fights are intense but then there are the times you will have to move between objectives. That is when your squad leader briefed the squad what his plan was. How can you communicate while in the heat of battle? This is not a COD mass murder fest you wish to force onto this franchise. “Capturing a flag takes real skill not just twitching.” It require teamwork.
Please just watch this:
Then I do not understand how you can say that it is fast paced if you compare it to Battlefield 4. Unless you play Battlefield 4 really slowly. Do you like teamwork?
