Battlefield Franchise Megathread V1 - 'Hardline is still DLC' Edition - Games

Oh I am hyped! This is really going to be interesting.

[QUOTE=spekter;50269065]Battlefield 4 got special treatment leaning towards Sony and still released on all platforms I'm not sure how you could think that's possible. [/QUOTE] Nah, 3 got PS3 special treatment, and 4 for Xbone special treatment, with the xbox version getting that throwback map pack thing like months before anyone else.

oh man, i wonder if wake island is gonna be dlc again. :v:

[QUOTE=seba079;50269030]What if it's exclusive to the xbox one[/QUOTE] Battlefield One for Xbox One

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;50269114]Nah, 3 got PS3 special treatment, and 4 for Xbone special treatment, with the xbox version getting that throwback map pack thing like months before anyone else.[/QUOTE] I thought BF4 got the beta first on PS4? Wish they'd stop doing this shit altogether it's already annoying dealing with elitists arguing over platform.

[QUOTE=Takuat;50269119][img]https://i.imgur.com/SdJJrSX.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Okay so the poster is actually for the Harlem Hellfighter stuff, that explains why it's a black guy.

sweet launches 2 days before my birthday

[QUOTE=Takuat;50269119][img]https://i.imgur.com/SdJJrSX.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Hmm, Harlem Hellfighters... an infantry regiment of African-Americans and African Puerto Ricans seen during WW1 and 2.

Why would they have a poster just for the DLC? That might be the SP portion.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50269151]Why would they have a poster just for the DLC? That might be the SP portion.[/QUOTE] It's a poster for the game, just they highlight the DLC stuff on it.

[QUOTE=Mkt778;50269180]Meh. I really don't think this game will be worth it at all. I know everyone is circle jerking over the ww1 setting but I just do not see how this could work in a way that will please anyone. I really feel this will just be another hardline and everyone will just return to bf4.[/QUOTE] Well Hardline fucked up because the maps/modes were poorly thought out and it was literally a reskin. At least with a totally different setting means completely different scenarios and equipment.

[QUOTE=KennyAwsum;50269192][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fDOWd4E.png[/IMG] Microsoft leaked the images on their dashboard apparently.[/QUOTE] To be fair, even if they didn't those pictures of the posters would have come out anyway. The posters have more details than the leaked xbox screen anyway.

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;50269224]To be fair, even if they didn't those pictures of the posters would have come out anyway. The posters have more details than the leaked xbox screen anyway.[/QUOTE] It's still a dumb error on MS's part. Something like that could be easily avoided by just not putting stuff up on the store until it's revealed.

Battlefield "1" does make sense considering it's WW1 but man that name just feels wrong after the Xbox One.

[QUOTE=Mkt778;50269238]I don't really want to get into lengthy debates over it. I'm sure this game will feel [I]vastly[/I] different from anything else in the series. I'm sure it'll have [I]something[/I] people will enjoy. I actually really hope you are right and that it'll be a good game. Just... I dunno. I just have a strong feeling this won't be the battlefield I know and love. I don't think they could pull this off and still keep the huge, fast paced, arcade action I enjoyed. A ww1 tactical shooter is more in line with the folks behind Red Orchestra or Verdun.[/QUOTE] Nothing's really stopping them from stretching the realistic elements I mean you don't see masses soldiers running around with FLIR's on their rifles today. The big issue is gonna be how they deal with vehicles. Weapons can be whatever but they're really gonna have to push it on the vehicle side.

[QUOTE=qwea00;50269255]Battlefield "1" does make sense considering it's WW1 but man that name just feels wrong after the Xbox One.[/QUOTE] Also if they are going to make a WWII game they can't continue the trend, unless they want two titles names Battlefield 2. Battlefield II maybe?

why couldn't they just call it battlefield [date] like they used to? idk why they feel the need to almost disassociate from everything they used to do back when they were, y'know, good.

[QUOTE=Mkt778;50269180]Meh. I really don't think this game will be worth it at all. I know everyone is circle jerking over the ww1 setting but I just do not see how this could work in a way that will please anyone. I really feel this will just be another hardline and everyone will just return to bf4.[/QUOTE] Have some faith. I don't understand how people think it just won't work because it's WW1. It's not like DICE had full control of Hardline anyway, they just collaborated with Visceral.

[QUOTE=Mkt778;50269180]I really feel this will just be another hardline and everyone will just return to bf4.[/QUOTE] To be fair on Hardline's part, it was never intended or designed as a "sequel", it was for all intent and purpose a stand alone expansion. Basically Hardline was to BF4, what Blood Dragon was to Far Cry 3. That's one reason why it was release so soon after as well.

Would've been better if they called it Battlefield I.

[QUOTE=KennyAwsum;50269034]So we've gone from Battlefield 3 to 4, to Hardline and back to 1 again????? what the fuck?[/QUOTE] To be fair, we never had a Battlefield 1. We had a Battlefield 1942.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;50269336]Regardless of how it plays bf4 is gonna be active for a long time after this comes out, the setting alone is putting a lot of people off[/QUOTE] lol, cod:IW people are being put off because of the setting, bf1 people are being put off because of the setting.... what do people want

I'm gonna really like a WW1 setting for battlefield but damn you DICE after all that teasing... I need 2143

Fucking hype

Going back to WWI-WWII era means we can finally get a true Battlefield theme again. HYPE [video=youtube;vg0Tmydj29M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg0Tmydj29M[/video]

[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;50269377]lol, cod:IW people are being put off because of the setting, bf1 people are being put off because of the setting.... what do people want[/QUOTE] Well I haven't seen many people being put off because of the setting. Just a couple ones, really. Most people seem interested.

[QUOTE=KennyAwsum;50269192][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fDOWd4E.png[/IMG] Microsoft leaked the images on their dashboard apparently.[/QUOTE] Who else would do it?
