Is not the setting, isn’t the variety of weapons. It’s DICE I’m so hesitant to pre order the game for £70 or whatever it is incase it’s another bf4 or hardline where’s it’s almost unplayable. Anyone else feel the same?
Nah, I think this game will do well. Weapon variety my seem grim now because we all expect bolt actions and MG’s. But for the sake of playability I imagine they’ll add a wide range of weapons. Nothing too unrealistic though. I think they’ll stay true to the era.
I think BF1 will do well commercially also. Mainly because of its immersive visuals and authentic audio sounds (just like SWBF did for the Star Wars franchise), as well as it’s fun gameplay (again, like SWBF, BFHL).
While I’m not as enthusiastic about the WW1 era vs that of WW2 or even Vietnam / Korea, I’m excited about the fun gameplay aspects and will pre-order BF1 shortly.
That it would be like Flateline… with kids running around with long arms using them like pistols or the Main basic game play will become like Rush or CQ Run and Gun TDM style = COD.
Just buy it when it’s confirmed to be clear of any networking issues after the launch. That’s what everyone should do.
You don’t have to pre order. Wait for gameplay footage, wait to play the beta. There is no reason to pre order now. Trust me we’d be getting more stable games at launch day if people stopped pre ordering.
I actually like that gameplay style. I find that the gameplay is fast, furious, and most importantly, fun.
Personally, if I wanted “scoot and shoot” gameplay, I’d probably play ARMA3 or a more realistic FPS shooter instead. But that’s just me.
If you’re not feeling confident in an EA game, don’t pre-order. I personally feel like this will be cleared of any issues based on the ways BFH and SWBF released (which was close to perfect). Though, you have to remember that this coming from EA (which haven’t been very trustworthy), so if you aren’t feeling it don’t pre-order and wait a week or two.
Hardline didnt sell to the BATTLEFIELD core for a reason.
Hardline was a bigger spin-off than the Bad Company series. People didn’t like it because it didn’t feel like a Battlefield game…
Then play cod instead. It’s voices like yours that ruin this game. Just because you “scoot and shoot” doesn’t mean the game has to be painfully slow. It just means you have to think for a second sometimes. That’s why I feel in love with this game originally it made me think about my next move and that’s why I left cod years ago because it’s small maps where everyone constantly runs around shooting. And certain guns have zero purpose.
