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

[QUOTE=coverop;48872251]Thank god I'm not the only one who sees Battlefront as piece of garbage in terms of Balance.[/QUOTE] Trust me, you're not. Loads of people calling it a filler game just because of the movie. It doesn't play well, it's unbalanced as hell and there's hardly any customization in the game. It's almost as worse as Hardline imo.

Can confirm for unbalanced. Hoth battle; The Empire always wins. Always. No balancing in the Drop Zone battle. Always one team that wins 5-1 or 5-0. Customization is very little, I'd prefer classes. Visually and audibly it's fantastic. Performance and optimization is good too. The basic fps is also pretty grounded as well. It just needs more customization, balancing, bring back classes instead of weapon and support pickups, vehicle pickups are fine imo. Havent had a chance to use a Lightsaber yet so... yeah. Maybe bring in a Killstreak / Score-based method?

I used to think Hoth was horribly unbalanced but after playing for a while I disagree. I think it's fine, because if the Rebels decide to actually play the objective and not just play TDM on a bigger map, it's not difficult for them to win. If anything I think it'll too easy for Rebels once the full game comes out because they'll have access to explosive weapons. You could argue that's unbalanced in itself, that Rebels requires people who aren't buttfuck retarded and/or KDR whores, but I dunno. I think the game should be balanced around people who know how to play. Now that more people have figured out how the game mode works, games can go either way. Just depends on which team plays better, and that's good. I get the feeling a lot of people went in wanting to hate Battlefront, and that's colored a lot of opinions. I'm not denying the game has some issues, but personally I think they're easily fixable ones (like re-implementing the turret lock out for Empire on Hoth) and not core problems.

Always.[/QUOTE] You playing with some noobs Plenty of time I've assisted in rebel wins on the second leg A guy on our TS3 [I]complained[/I] about the winner is always the team who plays the objective Yeah no shit, that how games are played but I find that a lot of the time, there good resources not being used to aid in taking down AT-AT and AT-STs. Anti-Vehicle turrents do 2% damage per round on an AT-ST, and take about 3-4 shots to destroy the -ST. Alongside this, There's also a lack of aircraft cabling the AT-AT, bringing it down on the ground, hindering the empire significantly. I've only seen it happen about twice during the beta period [editline]11th October 2015[/editline] Some trademark DICE spawn algorithms though Always where you don't want to be

There's gonna be a christmas update for BF4 right? So shouldn't the fall update be like, really soon?

I've won as Rebels on Hoth plenty of times. It all depends on who the shitty MM decides to put on the teams at the end of a round. I've been both shit on and taken a shit on others in both modes.

In terms of customisation, have you looked in the menu's? There's a whole customisation tab locked off. Also, if you follow JackFrags, he just did an interview with a few of the devs: the content in the beta in terms of cards (maybe guns, not sure on that one) is a fraction of what will be in the final game. Hoth is a little unbalanced but the only thing that stops the rebels from winning is people who arent focusing on the fact that you [B]have to take down the AT-AT.[/B] I've played games where only half the team are playing the objective, the other half are just pissing about playing TDM and the match goes horribly. However if everyone plays the objective and goes ham on the AT-AT when it's exposed, you can win even before the third stage. IMO the DLT-19 is a little too good, making it a long rage gun was a mistake, it needs to be medium range at best because atm, it seems to have the highest DPS of any gun and doesn't suffer at long distances. Less damage at range and a little more spread would fix it I reckon.

At its core, Battlefront didn't feel fun to play. I don't think there's a lot that can be done for the existing modes that can change that. And it does bother me that Battlefront has such a weak single-player/co-op end in terms of prospective content and that weak core. Rainbow Six: Siege had a beta recently which had a similar limited Terrorist Hunt mode across three maps, each of which felt much better designed than Tatooine on their own. A hypothetical Battlefront campaign would inevitably cost a lot of misplaced money, do a worse job at "fulfilling the Star Wars fantasy" than the multiplayer already does, and not be played by many people anyway, but what's replacing it is just something that already exists in so many other games alongside those campaigns. And it feels worse than another multiplayer-centric game at a similar development stage. Either way, it feels like DICE is slacking on both ends which they can't afford to do when Battlefront costs so much and is inevitably going to cost more thanks to DLC. Microtransactions can't be ruled out either just because they aren't "planned" for a game with a similar unlock model to games that either had them at launch or eventually had them implemented. [editline]10th October 2015[/editline] Oh shit, this isn't the Battlefront thread.

[QUOTE=booster;48873029]There's gonna be a christmas update for BF4 right? So shouldn't the fall update be like, really soon?[/QUOTE] There'll be a Fall update which will come with the Community Map. Considering the Summer update came in early September, I would guess the next one is still a month+ away.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;48872992]You playing with some noobs[/QUOTE] Well, it certainly felt like it.

Whoa, best sniper only I've done in a long while! 95 kills, 42 deaths. Made most of the enemy team ragequit as you can see from the report. Things like "nice modmenu" "fuck off aimbot" "m82 noob" "pistol noob" and such were thrown at me, but I loved it :D [url]http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/1/652960022919560064/393161890/[/url] -- also, Starwars talk here [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1269140"]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1269140 [/URL]

You better do that good with an M82 the entire map.

[QUOTE=JJ4prez;48875585]You better do that good with an M82 the entire map.[/QUOTE] I did, no worries. I hate campers. Also, bullet drop on the Mid is funky at times. I had to get used to it. The normal M82 with 40x zoom is amazingly ineffective on most maps, though :v WAY too much zoom

Would you guys say Battlefield 4 premium is worth it? I'm considering it.

[QUOTE=TalonAran;48875739]Would you guys say Battlefield 4 premium is worth it? I'm considering it.[/QUOTE] On sale yeah

BF4 + premium for sub $40 is a good deal. Lots of content.

[QUOTE=JJ4prez;48877488]BF4 + premium for sub $40 is a good deal. Lots of content.[/QUOTE] I've spent 50 AUD on bf4 Seems about right 25 each on game and premium

Most fun sniper only match I've had. [url]http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/1/653309891413747776/393161890/[/url] The acc is because I spend 10 minutes sniping C4 flattening the WHOLE map with [B]Nosekills[/B] lol. Too bad everyone left

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agZFTkm6prc[/media] This game is a realistic representation of heisting.

"MAN DOWN" indeed.

Got back into bf4 after a year break. Had so much fun I decided to buy premium. No regrets.

Yeah actually, I get full servers all the time on PS4.

Hardline is only dead on PC.

128 player metro servers when

Had a rage round last night, where everyone was calling me a hacker, "shotgun pub noob", "have no life" etc. [url]http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/1/653374306045578880/363611148/[/url] I went 52-4, finished 67-12. I was running around like a mad man. I did save quite a bit of footage from this round so I will make a quick video later.
