Will Battlefield 1 be better or just like the past few games?

Hi guys and gals im here not to tell you how battlefield one will be bad, but to ask what it will be like. Do you think it will be the turn around for EA or just another over hipped game. Dont get me wrong I like Battlefield i used to play cod but when my friend showed me battlefield i dumped cod and fell in love with battlefield. But i fell like the game does not get the devotion it truly need to be a great game. I know that EA has other games they need to work on but where is the greatness in them the wow of there games? Do they truly care for there community or do they just see us as nothing I dont know and i not making that call. But my question for you guys is what would you like to see in the game. What do you guy think EA and Dice need to focus on to turn this game around. I for one would love to see the fix with the net code that has been trouble for some time now and has been a major turn off for me on battlefield games. Like battlefield 4 and hardline (and before you say its my pc i checked first and its not its just net code) now im not saying the games where so bad i think they should not have been made i like them and with some more work they could have been a little more popular but that is my opinion. But to rap this all up what would you guys think, would turn battlefield back around?

Over hyped game for sure.

I really do believe that the Battlefield community has been listened to. Alot of the community wanted the good old days back and im sure BF1 will deliver this, gone are the night vision, flir and irnv attachments which was kind of an allowed hack as you could easily see your enemy, ww1 was a brutal war and will EA/Dice stick 100% to the facts? i doubt it as op says very little ground was taken whilst lots of soldiers die, this wont keep trhe interest of many, but they are focusing on less known battles of the war, so until we see more its hard to say. Its only over hyped if the end product is poor.

They have for sure learned from past mistakes so I am sure this will be a stable launch. I am sure they won’t be taking steps back in development from what they learned in BF4/Hardline from stability and many other things that have changed over the years.

I think it will be better than at least bf4. We can only hope for even a fraction of what BF:BC2 Vietnam was. I think being a fresh idea and Dice trying to revamp the love of the name Battlefield will be a recipe for success.

You can decide what the game will be like when the beta comes out. You can speculate all day, but in the end it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks but you.

OP has a right to ask.

Battlefield 4 has been fixed for at least 2 years now. After going back and playing the previous battlefields, I can easily say BF4 is my favourite. It’s an amazing game and hundreds of thousands of people still play daily.

Dice will add upon bf4 and make bf1 even better.

Who knows amigo - I’m glad that there is BC2 destruction + expirience from past games of the franchise. I would not recommend to hope as usually DICE fails with their products at the start of the release. Now when the game was 3 years in development then there is a hope but there is always a butt :slight_smile:

Just another hyped game , exactly like hardline, BF4 was never quite finished, and for at least a year after it’s release did not work correctly, at all. It will fall on it’s face just like the bs themed hardline. Now they want us all to go to another bs themed game set in WW1 with the slowest most antiquated weapons in modern warfare. This will be slow agonizing and much like 1942. Many of my clan members never wanted to play BF at all till BF Vietnam came out. Vietnam and BF2 allowed you the end user to actually host servers and create mods to host on it. BF2 came out it was even better for the same reasons plus modern weapons and much improved graphics and game play. Ever since BF2, EA has just ruined the entire game franchise. No user hosted servers, no mods, not the game the community wants, and now we must beta test the EA/Dice pieces of for as much as year before they work correctly. BTW, we must also pay nearly twice what we paid for Vietnam and BF2. My entire clan now no longer plays any EA games, none of them play any BF games anymore, at all, and they all say the same thing. EA/Dice ruined the game the community and any interest they may have in any future BF games. They are entirely fed up with purchasing a very expensive game that won’t work for a year or more, or ever. They were highly pissed when EA stopped BF2 logins and stats, as it was the only good BF game left, still had hundreds of mods when EA killed it! My entire clan, everyone of them continued to play. Now they have all switched to Steam and Steam games. EA just ignores the community and builds what they want, not what the community wants. They keep removing very important features and keep narrowing down what the game should be vs’s what it was and should become. Current BF games are all total corporate centric peices of designed to make money not fans and they are definitely not an epic game like BF2. I’m entirely convinced EA has no idea how to get back to the fans and community base that BF2 had and was. EA executives must have their heads up their butts so far they can no longer understand what made BF2 so great, like user customizable modded servers, actually entirely in game VOIP, Stats, Load Outs, a game that actually works before day 1, and no alpha and beta testing an expensive piece of for over a year before it works.

I have exactly no interest if it succeeds or fails, none of my clan buddies have any interest and most people I know that played BF2, BFBC, BF3 and some BF4 on any basis, have all said they are done with and have had it completely with EA / Dice and any of their games, so no I think it’s doomed and I really think they could have come up with a better idea than a WW1 throwback redo of 1942.

Since the “server” removals in BFBC and the never ending series of broken BF frostbite games, I myself have come to despise EA/Dice and the entire bs BF series of games since BF2,. I wish I had never bought 2142, Bad Company, BF3 or ever had BF4 and BF Hardline given to me, as I refused to buy them. What a total disappointment and waste of time and money.

BF1 is definitely not going to be bought or played by me or any of my clan.

You have totally lost your mind, it’s only been out for slightly over 2 years and the first full year plus the game was more often than not, completely unplayable!

You have no idea what you are talking about, it was released on November 18, 2014, so with just over a year of mega patches about 14 months worth with EA continuously fixing BF4 right upto Sep 01, 2015. The game may have been playable for the last 15-16 months but, definitely not for over 2 years! In fact the last major update, that had a list of fixes as long as my arm was just this last September 1st, 2015, so no it surely hasn’t been 2 years since BF4 was fixed! Personally I think when they took out roof access to many TDM maps and modded many of the other maps, they ruined BF4 farther!

ROFL!

I wouldn’t mind if they put the deadline further in the future as long the game is stable with the launch. Think that Millions will go online in the same time. So maybe spread the release over the continents/country’s… So if we start playing it, a week later they need to patch it allready ! Take the time, don’t rush anything. Even if EA says you have to release! Don’t force it this time!

Release is never going to be delayed. This is EA we’re talking about. The game will most probably be released in a bf4-like state, if not worse, and will receive a day 1 patch.

Choosing WW1 is a dangerous path. 25% of the players will leave due to lack of helicopters, and twice that due to game turning to skyrim, with stats for maces, shovels and whatnot. Unless Dice can hit the sweet spot in balance. Which is doubtful. If they failed in BF4, they are sure to fail in bf1.

My problem with BF4 now is the even damage weapons. Just way too many nerfs for me, seems like it makes almost all the weapons the same. Face it some are just stronger than others. 100% healthy tank and 2 packs of C4 or 2 RPG’s would work. Now 3 of each still won’t bring down a take. Same for stingers and choppers.

all games are overhyped.

i hope it as good as BF2 still waiting for beta

Man asking such questions is like asking never eaten new food

Just gotta wait until the Beta, I am doing my best to with-hold judgement but WW1 as a topic of history doesn’t thrill me.

Not sure which level of rose tinted glasses you are looking through, but hit registration and hit boxes in BF2 were horrendous… I hope it is better than BF3, which has been one of the better functioning games in the series

OP is right to ask but everyone in the pc community needs a proper hack detection and quick ban method in place i don’t care if it takes 10 times as many staff to sift through all the reported players but it has to be done we in the pc community feel eagames for years has never properly fought the hackers and never once tried to take the hack selling websites to court !!!
