I've been playing the Siege of Shanghai 25/7 room a lot. I just hate when the tower comes down. I wish levelution was a server setting.
If my team can't control C I always make sure to bring the tower down. Parachuting around
the other flags is too much of an advantage. And frankly I hate roof campers! Lol!

Hardline out of the NPD top 10 in May. ouch, no legs!
Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
Which is a shame for me, cuz I really love Hardline. It's so much fun and I can't wait for the DLC.
I'm surprised just how fast Hardline evaporated, especially on PC. I wasn't blown away by the beta but thought it was ok and that I might get it some time down the road for cheap. I thought it'd do well enough. Surely better than COD does on PC. But, damn:
I'm glad the Hardline beta prompted me to pick up premium for BF4 for pocket change. D:
NPD for May is out?
In any case, that doesn't mean anything huge. Hasn't NPD been shrinking? Digital could be good, but I'm still on the "LOL TITANFLOP LOL" trip to where I think Battleflop: Hardflop is it's new name.
I want Visceral to make BF5 or BC3. I dislike only two things about Hardline: the setting and the wurde than BF4 graphics. The controls and gunplay for example feel so much better in Hardline. DICE shouldn't make BF5 feel as sluggish as BF4 again.
Edit: I want to revise above statement a little bit:
The things I feel like Visceral did better in Hardline than DICE did in BF4 are as follows. The gun handling / aiming / gameplay / whatever you might call it feels a lot better in Hardline than it does in BF4. It feels more accuraty and much smoother. BF4 doesn't make me feel like I am in control 100% of the time, it feels sort of sluggish and heavy (A bit like Killzone 2 vs 3). This may of course just be a personal thing, but I feel like in BF4 there's a lot being done to handicap more experienced players to make it more accessible to newer players (more prominent suppression effects and "sluggy" aiming make experienced players less consistent because they can't be easily calculated).
Visceral succesfully implemented new game modes that focus heavily on objectives, which DICE hasn't been abled to do since Rush in Bad Company (2). Every new game mode was just a little side dish to a DLC along CQ Large.
They did these things so well imo, that I want that in BF5.

hehe, i didn't say "all-powerful" i said annoying, and that's what it is when there is only one commander. An extra thing to look out for that sucks.
The only annoying thing is the constant UAV spam. Anything else is just a predictable fly that is safely avoided. The UAV as it is shouldn't be so large if they're going to allow you to be able to put another one up 2 seconds after the last one ends.
Even the EMP doesn't have that ability to just be spammed mindlessly.

Sorry but I just can't agree. BF4 feels superior to me in every single way.
I love Visceral but I think they screwed up several things in hardline. From map design to gameplay decisions.
And I still don't understand how they didn't try a new monetization style for the game that didn't rely on fracturing the user base by selling maps. It was the perfect opportunity to try something new with premium. I bet the game would retain more players if the maps were free. No one is going to pay for then considering that even on BF4 you still have trouble to find servers running some of the DLC maps.
How can the gunplay be good in Hardline when they fucked up weapon balance so bad? And frankly I don't like the lower TTK. The skill gap between players on Hardline is considerably lower than BF4 since it's so easy to kill people even from medium to long range. Just sneeze at their direction.
More than ever it feels to me that they were aiming hard for the COD crowd, and frankly that makes me kinda happy that the game tanked. If it was a huge success we might see it heavily influencing BF5 and I just don't want that.
I played the game for around 30 hours, but now every time I get the FPS itch I can't justify going for Hardline over BF4 anymore.

Since they fixed head glitching I might work on leaning around corners more as a form of cover. It used to be so inferior to head glitching that I never really used it because the mechanics seemed so janky, but I might give it another whirl. Anytime I do it now it's on accident. Does anyone regularly use it on console?
Or you can just duck at the head glitch cover and then fire over it it like the lean IIRC. Some of the former ones work that way.

Yeah, I use that sometimes. I also find that mechanic unreliable as well, although not to the extent of leaning. Sometimes you have to be the p perfect distant away from the object to get it to work consistently.

MAN
Operation Mortar and Propaganda are probably my favorite maps... ever. They are SO FUCKING GOOD.

Oh, right. I missed this: It depends on the map. Starburst on Shanghai and Golmund pretty much dominates depending on where you're firing from. But on Dawnbreaker it isn't really worth it except against the AA or Tank because the buildings get in the way. If you're in an open/not very many building areas you can pretty much let them pop-flares. Break your lock, track them without ADS and then ADS relock to suddenly have the missile switch from it's last direction to follow.
Also Kane, I need you to check a server and see if it's just me on the quality.

If you're willing to wait for around 2 weeks, sure. GPU overheating like no tomorrow and all.
That sucks man.

damn, had the worst bout of lag/banding midway thru the Golmud game. i blame AT&T.
You finally upgrading?

Yeah, new case and probably a GTX 970 since the 980 probably isn't going to get cheap enough any time soon.

not feeling that game at all.. new mode in Halo 5 looks interesting though
It's not just the UI, gameplay felt stale...
Seems like I'm going to keep playing BF4 for a long time.
Hardline DLC got delayed on PC because they messed up the patch it came with.
Only ~100 viewers on Twitch right now.
Battlefront looks beautiful though
I'm waiting for it to hit a $10 dollar price point.
That Hoth battle they showed made a nice trailer, but I saw very little in the way of interesting game play. Especially when I think about BF4 and all the "only in Battlefield" moments we've come to love and expect. Sadly, even controlling the ATAT's looked boring.
But, but, but... OMG it's DARTH VADER!
meh.

I wouldn't say the gameplay is bad. But after the series has been dormant nearly ~10 years, it just isn't a ground-breaking leap that I was expecting. But you say that to some people and they go "OMG PRE-ALPHA! OMG WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT GROUND BREAKING GAMEPLAY! BATTLEFRONT 3! BATTLEFRONT 3! BATTLEFRONT 3!"
(Also apparently this is the "Rush" mode for Battlefront 3, which isn't really convayed at all in the start of the video. So if this is supposed to be Rush, DICE failed at convaying that to me, a Rush fan with visuals outside of some elements/M-COM, crates being shown)
I wouldn't bother:
Have you seen Battlefield: Hardflop?
Granted, it's gained 1,000 players for PC since I last checked it. Either E3 sale madness or some of the previous owners coming back for the DLC
By the time it hits $10, it'll probably be as dead as Titanflop.
That Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, though... woof.
I remember you some of you wanting softcore to be "two bullets to kill." Well, here's a near modern-warfare title that is going to do that. You will not survive.
Good luck!
(I still need to go through the bot campaign of Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2)

So uhhh I'm desperate for a MP shooter again, and I sold this game a month or two after launch because I was disappointed with the low TTK and lame maps.
...Would you guys say the game is a lot better now? I loved BF3 and Bad Company 2, but grew very tired of BF4

camp the entrance to the enemy base with mines + rpg or just jihad jeep your way to it
it is, but the maps and ttk haven't changed much.
If you're disappointed with TTK you're going to be disappointed again. Don't bother unless you REALLY want a Battlefield.
