Battlefield Franchise Megathread v"Seriously, nobody made a new thread yet?" - Games

you can pique the audience's interest but with how slow they're moving they're gonna have 'em burn out super fast

Could also be Barbarossa, especially if they are still going somewhat chronologically

i've already uninstalled. i'll come back in fall with the new theater if anything's changed then.

Does anybody play Combined Arms anyway? I just solo one or two of the missions whenever there is a challenge too difficult for me to complete in normal multiplayer, but apart from that, I don't play it and I don't think I would want to play it even with a full squad. It frankly feels like a waste of resources.

Wow that roadmap is fucking pathetic

I've already said that the first year would suck massive dick, but fuck me I did not expect it to be this bad

https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/b4covb/bfv_data_mining_first_5v5_game_mode_details/ A dataminer found this information about the new (old if you consider it incursions 2.0) 5 v 5 mode. If all this information is accurate (and if DICE doesn't drip feed content for 5 v5's as well), I'd definitely try it out. Particularly the fact that Italy and the US are going to be added in earlier than we thought and more unique gadgets are coming in. Hopefully they'd add those in for the base classes for regular multiplayer as well.

After a bit more thinking, I do think the roadmap isn't too bad, but they could've done a whole lot better if again, they were to put the manpower behind BR and Incusions 2.0 to deliver 3 maps at least per chapter instead of this weird attempt to cater to the non-core majority audience. It also doesn't help that their methodology of distributing content via weekly dripfeeding as opposed to just releasing everything all at once makes us feel like we're getting no content when we actually are. I also do think the disappointment has partially come from the fact that we've been spoiled by literal airstrikes of content by previous expansions even if it meant waiting 6 whole months of no additional content per expansion (BF1). While I don't really like saying copout stuff like "but its free " or "EA has infinite mone whyn no free 20 maps?????", I do think it's a little bit silly to expect similar large scale expansions brought by premium prices from a completely free model that so far hasn't made any money beyond the initial game purchases.

I know I'm a little late on this but I'd say. No. If you can get it for 20-30 euros? Maybe.

https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/battlefield-v-5-pc-origin-cd-key I bought it here when it was even cheaper, be sure to keep an eye on the region. Me and my friends received a key pretty much instantly, don't know much about the business practices of the site though.

Why does dice think that anyone wants more gamemodes.

I want more damn content for Conquest and maps like god damn. The new gamemodes are fun, I'll admit that, but its fleeting compared to just having a bunch of shit for one mode if BF4 was anything to judge by

Doesn't the game already have a dying community? Why would you divide it further by adding more gametypes rather than just adding to the existing ones?

Live, dead thread LIVE! Firestorm is out 🍾 big woop It's pretty monotone in solos, but is pretty damn fun with squads. Increased TTK feels just right with some great pacing thanks to the relatively short time between circle times and closure of map sections during the start ensuring almost common enemy contact. Much like the base game, the UI and genera looting is absolute dogshit. It's not even a case of being spoiled by Apex's godsend UI, it's just really awkward to use and its easy to accidentally drop shit you don't intend with the lack of visible indicators for loot. In other news, soldier dragging is cancelled lol Battlefield V Chapter 3

Good Lord. Firestorm is gooooood.

Artefact redefined what a "dying community" is so by any metrics no it's not dying but it's not looking as good as BF4 or BF1 were in terms of numbers and that should have DICE worrying.

First win on my second match! https://i.imgur.com/qXYcCVE.png

Firestorm doesn't even have squad fill for duos. How is a basic feature not implemented.

If you are from South America or Australia, you will have 150ms(or more) of ping and have trouble finding full matches in firestorm, which is a fucking joke. Actually, i think its the whole south hemisphere that's having those problems.

Randos would join my squad when I was queuing with my friend, I think it's not very reliable tho. People seem to disconnect all the time. I'm in North America so I haven't had any technical issues with the game, disconnects or otherwise. I think that gameplay-wise it's a very good battleroyale for two main reasons: The gunplay is 1:1 that of the normal multiplayer and it's still stellar in that way; It's very difficult to get good equipment without going to conflict points such as capture zones, supply drops or bunkers. This forces engagements. While tanks aren't very useful in solo, using transport vehicles to go to capture points gives you a good edge at the cost of stealth. V1 rockets and artillery strike do a good job of flushing out enemies, they've gotten me out of a pinch more than once. Honestly, my only big complaint is that the game lacks an area grab menu for items. If you kill an enemy, their items will tend to bunch up and clip into one another. This makes it hard to grab a specific item. I do empathise with people having technical issues though, it does seem to happen one way or another every time new content drops.

holy fuck the inventory system and looting in firestorm is fucking ATROCIOUS. how the hell do they come out with this shit when you've had years of other br's to study from. what a joke.

It's difficult to understand why they thought this was an acceptable feature to exclude.

Also what's up with all the Sulis stuff in firestorm? Is it an organisation or something?

Related to some easter egg or whatever. Some dataminer found out about something related to those weirdly intact machines surrounded by a ring of fire in Halvoy that's tied to some big easter egg and superweapon. https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/b4l2uw/firestorm_map_with_8_locations_for_special/

I hope they never remove "You Came 1st" It's so stupid that I love it.

Here's a video of my second solo win: https://youtu.be/NP72OwZShjc

God, I really dislike how loud footsteps are in Firestorm solo. You can be sitting on the second floor of a building and hear loud sloshing footsteps of someone on a river across the streets and it makes stealth a bit fucky.

AFAIK walking while crouched makes you extremely quiet unless someone is very close. Once you get used to that fact, you can get some interesting stealth plays.

Yeah I know that, but it bothers me for being a bit too slow. Crouch running seems to muffle sound quite a bit, though I ain't sure if its enough to make it viable for stealth.
