I can't even remember the last time a BF game was worth playing.

BF1 was great

 

[Luipadre]

Does anyone really think this has even a remote chance of being good?!

I'd love to be pleasantly surprised but being hyped for BF at this point is insane.

I mean some of us already played it and it was already pretty great so yeah?

 

[ValiantInstance]

They're really missing the boat if they can't have this ready for November. There is a huge vacuum in the market for a great military fps game. Delta Force is a mess and Cod is a writeoff at this point.

So what's the plan, release it around the time GTA 6 comes out?

 

[Nvzman]

Hard to be excited for a game where a fucking rocket launcher does less damage to an infantry unit than a tank.
After seeing that happen twice in battlefield 4 I just loled and uninstalled.

Rocket launchers will kill if they hit, it's splash damage that was heavily nerfed against infantry, for good reason too.

Sorry you can't play like a scrub!

 

[icecold1983]

It will be better than 2042, but not by a large margin. It will be worse than every other mainline Battlefield title.

Based on what?

 

[DenchDeckard]

One of my favourite franchises ever!

I hope they can turn it around after the mess of the last game.

Imagine calling those who served scrubs because they used irl tactics.

I played BF Labs for a weekend a few weeks ago and thought it was in the right track. I'm also following the leaks that have been coming out and it looks pretty good.

The community is concerned about things like weapon/class locking and stuff like that but the general perception is positive.

 

[Killer8]

Doesnt preclude you from being a scrub if you wanna run noobtubing.

I can see you have lost sleep over this before.
Understandable

 

[Pasta la Vista]

RPGs (and similar) will one shot infantry in pretty much all the titles. I used to snipe with them.

Yeah I do this all the time, don't know wtf he's talking about, gotta be a direct hit though cause the splash damage is not good for the rpg.

Edit: actually I don't think it has any splash damage

Id hear explosions in my sleep.

Considering the state the franchise is in. I don't think releasing it the same month as a new COD would be a good idea.

 

[Zuzu]

The Finals has really set a benchmark for destruction in a multiplayer FPS. Hopefully BF6 can come close to it.

 

[March Climber]

I hope they bring back the terminator-style theme music:

Its a video game, not real life.

I want the game to be fun, thank you. That's why ARMA and Squad exist if you want complete tedium in a video game format.

I really liked V after a couple of patches. 2042 sucks balls. Bc2 is still my favourite.

Vince Zampella is at the head of this one, if he can't help steer the game back in the right direction, no one can.

V did end up growing on me but the vehicle combat was ass. Not very many great maps either. I would still put it behind 1 and just ahead of 2042.

I don't assume it will be good, but I have no problem holding out hope because it would be so easy for them to make a solid BF, or at least to avoid screwing it up if they would just get out of their own way.

They have multiple great entries in the series to work from. Even a mediocre, back to basics entry would be seem great at this point.

As long as it's not as fucked up as BF4 on launch then it's par for the course lol

Are the doing the whole "gender locked classes with unique names and personalities" BS?

To be fair, effective explosions are the best way to flush out scrubby campers.
I just find it hilarious when a camper calls a tuber, a scrub. XD
It's literally their worst nightmare counter.

 

[TheMan]

God I hope they pull this off but I can't get excited about a BR mode, I just can't

 

[Sardaukarama]

All these yrs I've played the one thing what pisses me off the most is when I get knived , I loathe giving my tags away

What online game isn't these days?

In Dice's defense (on that one at least), that was to be expected as a launch title on a brand new console….no excuses for more recent launch issues though.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I still play 2042, I think the hate bubble it was in during the pandemic was weird, things have changed, do you know what an update is? If you get an update you get better.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Hell, single player too these days lol

Had nothing to do with it being a new console. The game was nigh unplayable for several months.

Goes both ways. You can feed like a beast with all the fresh noob meat, but it'll undoubtedly be a chaos pit, every map, but those can be the most fun before assholes stake out all the bottlenecks and peeps.

For their sake, hope not.
