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

I actually reinstalled Hardline and I forgot how much I actually enjoyed it. Its a shame that its pretty much dead on PC. I really liked the reload animations too. Visceral and Dice LA do pretty good reload animations, while DICE Stockholm are only ok.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49206256]He said it himself that he misses a lot, it's just not interesting to see those clips. He is a good marksman, though.[/QUOTE] I've gotten three 1000km headshots in a row. But I'm not a good "marksman" though, and I'd say you are giving someone too much credit. It's just a (super unrealistic) video game, that allows the player to jolt in and out of cover while operating a bolt action rifle like that.

the railgun pick-up in bf4 is awful, easily worst pick-up in the game. doesn't even do as much damage as normal AT weapons, has an insanely long reload, scope's zoom is way too long and can't even 1 hit kill soldiers.

It's the best weapon in the game (arguably, but not very). It isn't an antitank rifle (altho 4 shots to kill is hella good), the reload has to be long to compensate for its OP projectile velocity and power, and it can most definitely onehit infantry (unless something changed since I last used it). What other weapon can instakill infantry at any range (even groups of them), reliably shoot pilots and gunners out of AH's, deal severe damage to armor, outsnipe snipers, and even destroy launch pods in midair? And most importantly, what other weapon [i]is a fucking railgun[/i]?

Quick tip on how to use the railgun: Dont lead. Dead Center.

It takes 26 milliseconds for the projectile to travel 90m. Come on now.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;49210062]Quick tip on how to use the railgun: Dont lead. Dead Center.[/QUOTE] When shooting choppers, aim for the cockpit. Fun when you shoot out the pilot :v:

linked due to 720p webm [url]http://puu.sh/lDBPe/64a300675e.webm[/url] can't really see it due to webm but it did hit him. [t]http://puu.sh/lDBVQ/80d7a318d7.jpg[/t] i spent half that round trying to shoot down choppers, i'd much rather just use any AA rocket launcher in the game.

You missed him but the splash damage injured him.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49212231]You missed him but the splash damage injured him.[/QUOTE] Fair enough then All this 2142 content hurts my heart though as 2142 ws my first Battlefield and I was and still am a sci-fi guy and 2142 had a good blend of the new and the old. I really hope the next Battlefield is 2142 as all this is in the Last Stand DLC. I hope the Hardline numbers and the fact that BF4 is still alive and kicking despite it not being the newest game shows EA that people like the main line series more.

Back on the topic of killing pilots: [video=youtube;5dCsLWFbH_k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dCsLWFbH_k[/video]

BF2 infamously crashes randomly on Win 7, but does 2142 do that too? also, is BF3 still alive?

I've been playing the [url=http://battlelog.co/]BF2 Battlelog[/url] version of BF2 without any problems at all on Windows 7.

Well, I just got kicked from a server for the dumbest reason "Game disconnected: you were kicked by an admin. Stated reason: Rank lower then 40 not allowed! we apologise!"

[QUOTE=Joazzz;49222053]64 or 32 bit?[/QUOTE] 64 bit. [QUOTE=Anven11;49221725]How the hell did you know? [img]https://facepunch.com/fp/emotes_std/tinfoil.gif[/img][/QUOTE] You should make sure the next Battlefield game is more like a classic Battlefield game and then get fired in a couple years because you ruined the financial future of the series by making it appeal to a smaller audience.

So, what exactly IS this classic Battlefield I've been hearing about. Because from what I heard it's like people want Project Reality, Insurgency or Squad, not Battlefield.

[QUOTE=Anven11;49221725]How the hell did you know? [img]https://facepunch.com/fp/emotes_std/tinfoil.gif[/img][/QUOTE] If there isn't anything like this in BF5, I'm going to be extremely upset. [vid]http://i.imgur.com/0h6itfO.webm[/vid]

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49224110]So, what exactly IS this classic Battlefield I've been hearing about. Because from what I heard it's like people want Project Reality, Insurgency or Squad, not Battlefield.[/QUOTE] Project Reality is way too complicated. I haven't played Squad, but Insurgency has more in common with Counter Strike or the first America's Army than it does Battlefield. I just want a slower paced Battlefield again with proper big maps where 64 players can actually fit and gameplay that encourages people to work together with the tools to facilitate it rather than heavy infantry focused maps (Metro was the nail in the coffin for this) where all people care about is their KDR and everybody is so self-reliant that you don't need to work together at all. It doesn't have to be realistic or anything like PR or Insurgency. Battlefield has [I]never[/I] been realistic. It's a series that started with people standing on the wings of B-17s and shooting Bazookas down at stuff. It just has to feel good and well paced, not realistic. I've been playing BF2 and BF4 back to back lately and it amazes me how much BF2 just assumes people will do like commander, squad orders, clearly defined and limited classes, and so on, even though modern game design would have you believe these are such futile design decisions that they're not worth even doing. They're such totally different games. I'm not going to say BF2 is flawless or anything, because it has a lot of problems that BF4 handles a lot better, but something great was genuinely lost starting with Battlefield 3. I want that back. A game with the polish of modern Battlefield game, but with the design goals of a classic Battlefield game. Oh, and the old game's vehicle physics. Vehicle physics were so much better pre-Frostbite. Classic mode is a fun bandaid that brings some of the pacing and gameplay from old Battlefield's back simply by removing doritos and regen, and it's amazing how much a difference those two minor changes can make, but the game wasn't designed with classic in mind so it's not as good as it could be.

Sometimes you need a good long break to get back into the swing of things.
