To the Complainers and Whiners, Battlefield≠ ARMA or Verdun

If you are not clear about what this series is all about, its your fault, not Dice. Battlefield has always been about large all-out warfare with large maps, vehicles, and teamwork. Looking at Battlefield 1, I can say that Dice has stayed true to the core of the Battlefield series. Not only that, but they also increased the skill-gap and let go of many noob-friendly features that are seen in BF4 and BF3. BF1 is more skill-based, more team-based and more objective-based than BF4. With that being said, Battlefield never intends to be a tactical shooter or a war simulator.Players expecting an ARMA or a Verdun experience with the subsequent announcement of BF1 should have known better.

DICE has said nothing about teamwork. The word “Teamwork” does not even come up on the homepage of Battlefield One. DICE has not even talked about how they want to ensure teamwork in Battlefield One. As for large maps. The last large Map I have ever played on was in Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield 2 where it took a solid 2 minutes to walk from one flag to the other.

Aspects that counter increasing the skill gap:(Very noob friendly)

• 3D spotting
• Constant sprint
• Smaller squads
• Rock paper scissors gun play system (Snipers long range, LMG and Semi-Auto Rifles Medium range, Shotgun and SMG close couters)
• Autoheal
• Autorepair
• Spawning on any squadmember and not just on the squad leader
