Gotta agree with that ^, @Tip_the_Cap . Westie is a blatant shill. And yeah I heard the game sold something like 7million…but look at the consistent flow of new complaints day in day out since day 1.
Im basing my assumption on how the main menu is designed.
Currently there is 2 factions. Axis and Allies. If they are adding new factions it will be just player outfits, guns and voices. Those will be put in the current factions. Meaning you will still see brits and ¯_(ツ)_/¯ on all maps they add in the future, even in the pacific theather if it ever comes out.
If they were ever planning to add seperate specific country factions we would not be able to use german guns as allies in the first place. There would not be allies and axis factions either.
If the game came out with Germany and Brittain as two factions i would believed they planned to add americans and soviets later.
Reading through this thread makes me nervous about what the future of this game will be like. I’ve waited for a WW2 BF game for many years and now that I have one, it is just going to die quickly? Oh man I hope for a major come back like BF4.
Its more then obvious it will be like that, cosmetics only. Since we wont be getting 3-4 USA and 3-4 Soviet mp maps due to live service and not premium…so cosmetics and you can use them on all current maps.
I think what’s making it stale for me is lack of maps. I’m not interested in half the stuff that’s been introduced like friend only Co op, squad conquest and sp stories ( not to say others don’t enjoy it) I wouldn’t of missed. I’d of substituted all of that for 3 extra maps at launch + 2 months for multiplayer modes(thrown in at least one classic map from 1942).
I think DICE and EA need to get their heads out of there arses and look at where they are throwing all the resources and budget. Obviously the game didn’t sell as well, so maps (imo) should’ve been priority.
Its also a double edged sword for them now, don’t release a suffiecient amount of maps etc ( despite no premium) then the bf series will be well and truly tainted by this installment. Gamers will very certainly react cautiously to the next release and perhaps initial sales and pre orders would be hit once again.a case of fool me once.
If they manage to screw it up it’s the last DICE game I will buy for a very long time.
As The World Turns Post.
Complainers, backstabbers, hypocrites. Its all in the next chapter of ; AS THE WORLDS TURNS.
The game has Failed to meet any expectations by EA. EA will put no more money into a Failing product. Therefore expect no more Major Content ever for this game.
Maybe 2 to 3 more Maps and that’s it.
I know BFV has not met expectations on sales or player reaction but i assume EA have still made a decent amount of profit? Is this a bit like when pundits go into meltdown because a company has ONLY made £1billion profit this year as opposed to £1.2billion the year before.
Crazier things have happened like this week when Blizzard fired 750 people but made profit for 2018.
Some of those complaints are legitimate, but some are just childish whining. I was in a game two days ago where some guy was spamming the chat with his commentary about the female and minority characters being historically inaccurate. I was amazed there are still players who haven’t moved past that yet, but I should have known better.
The failed attempt to fix the network performance, that’s worth complaining about. But an Asian female sniper in your British Army squad giving you tummy upset, puhlease.
It does not make sense, adding new factions will be very tempting to the nations that are represented for the gamers there to buy.
Well, an argument can probably be made, that they want to bring in many different factions (the French was mentioned on the post as an example), that may not have future maps that coincide with them.
Which is to say, if the next dlc is say the American v Japanese maps, folks would only be limited to American and Japanese customization on those maps.
By letting all the factions fight on the allied side, they can open up many more countries. So, a case can be made a COD WW2 like model, can be what they’re going for here. I think that would be awful, but would make sense from DICEs point of view, if they want to make money on customizations.
If you think this is “news” you haven’t been paying attention. All the smart people have known this since summer.
Right now id take british wearing red army uniform fighting germans wearing a loin cloth on iwo jima because at least it means theyve made it!
Hm, well in “smart” i suppose you mean more “up to date” in what’s been up DICEs sleeve since summer.
However, i think we can agree, A LOT has changed since summer, and at this point, i still don’t think we know exactly what they’re doing…on this issue, and very many other matters.
Dig your hopes. The problem(s) of BF 4 were tecnical nature but the gameplay it s and everything around it had the potential right from the start. BF V was already rotten at release. A horrible UI, just two factions, no WW2 immersion, small, boring maps, no balance. And no real content for the last six months worth the name. Because no - i dont see Guns from BF 1 as new content.
Of course there’s been “no real content for the last six months.” The games only been out since mid November. That’s only three (3) months! Jeebus, why does everything have to devolve to histrionics and melodramatic exaggerations.
Uh…why not? People are calling for Russians, USA, Pacific Theatre…But I thought this game isn’t supposed to be historically accurate in the slightest – An argument everyone who was fine with da wamens made everytime around launch.
Then there was Dice who said that this game was their own little spin on WW2 – Which I reckon was their way of saying that we’re proooooobably not gonna get USA or Pacific Theatre.
Still the official artbook has Pacific Theatre related stuff and american soldiers in it.
I’m much more worried about the Russkies.
