Could DICE just implement this like a preset? So that people who want a WW1 simulation can have that and play on that type of server? There are already preset options like Infantry Only. And there are option in the server manager to adjust bullet damage. And all spawning and spotting settings adjustments are already there. Why not give the people what they want if its something they want. After all its not going a lot out of the way. Just cutting off the “FUN ELEMENT” and just make it “REAL”.
At the end of the day server Admins choose whats played on their server and not the players (although they can vote -.-). You should play on servers which fulfils your needs. If you want a WW1 realism server then you should join that sort of server or rent your own server and set it up as such.
“Battlefield experience that many fell in love with – that idea of an intuitive military sandbox where air, vehicle and infantry combat seamlessly combine”
Everyone should be glad that DICE is doing a such a great job of making this game. Rather than nitpicking on something that can be solved easily. And guys we are all battlefielders. (Sorry not a native english speaker)
Just saying but those historians who say battlefield is not realistic. I doubt they have ever played battlefield. And if you want a war simulator you should go play something like ARMA. People like FlackFire (the only person i know who knows a lot about history of WW1 and is a battlefield player) doesnt seem to have any problem. Unless Activision or someone is trying to dig up dirt on DICE its a shame that everyone is making a such a big deal of this
The solution for realism is to find a milsim game. Battlefield is a AAA FPS video game designed for gameplay.
Obviously, since they are portraying a WWI setting, it needs to resemble WWI to some extent but they also NEED to take some liberties to make the gameplay fun and to make the game feel like a Battlefield game.
Totally but if you just add a simple preset like “stupid realistic” or something with all the necessary settings DICE will be done with the making it REAL part of it. They wouldnt have the headache of everyone crying over it being not realistic enough. Then they can focus on more important stuff
