-not restoring BF3 & BF4 (both with all DLCs and battle passes and whatnot) when they feel like switching their store front

Thanks for letting me keep Plants vs Zombies in my account you absolute shitehawks. Piss on my face when you get around to it.
 
Good luck, you burnt all your fans (incl me) with battlefield v and 2042. No one wants this.
You'll somehow fuck this up.

PLEASE DON'T FUCK THIS UP. PLEASE!!!
 
Honestly I think the downfall of this series is trying to do 'the next big thing'. Go back to BF4 mechanics, some better and meaningful levelution. Vehicles just needed a bit of fine tuning

No it's considered near future. There's tech, storyline, etc. that portrays that as well.

Never played, so I can't say if even had a storyline.

And there is some mix of modern setting and futuristic setting there. The game lacks identity.

128-player mode was a good idea but had poor execution. They're making a mistake by abandoning this.

I agree. Although if 64 players means they can have more advanced destruction, then I'd take that.

Still too early on basically all the details to give too much thought into it yet.

"Among other things, it appears to suggest that ship-to-ship and helicopter combat will be part of the new game, and that it will feature natural disasters like wildfires. Its greyish color scheme is evocative of Battlefield 4, which remains one of the most popular games in the series despite being released a decade ago."

More info from the link.

Caspian Border, Siege of Shanghai, Paracel Storm, Floodzone... set pieces but gesu cristo, good stuff.
 
Cautiously optimistic. Even though I swore that they couldn't get BF2042 into a good way, they did eventually and I actually got a good amount of time in it, although I only paid £15 for it.
 
"Yeah, the 128 player, did it make it more fun? Like...doing the number for the sake of the number doesn't make any sense. We're testing everything around what's the most fun. So like you said, the maps, once they get to a certain scale, become different. It's a different play space, and I think you have to design around that. So we are designing something that is more akin to previous Battlefields," Zampella says. "I'd rather have nice, dense, really nice, well-designed play spaces. Some of them are really good. I can't wait for you to see some of them.

Specialists are also out this time around. "So I wasn't there for 2042. I don't know what the rationale was, but for me, it's like the team tried something new. You have to applaud that effort. Not everybody liked it, but you got to try things. It didn't work. It didn't fit. Specialist will not be coming back. So classes are kind of at the core of Battlefield, and we're going back to that," Zampella says.

He's careful to stress that Battlefield 2042 wasn't a "failure of a game" despite not doing as well as hoped. He notes that the development team "really spent a lot of time learning how to adapt it and getting things back." Still, he says, EA doesn't want a repeat of the experience it had with 2042. "We want it to be good out of the gate."

More.

Also, lmao at the last bit. Yeah, no shit maybe games should be good when released.

They are going to have a modern setting with whats going on in the world today without using Specialists to skirt around the political issues? (America Vs Russia for example) :pie_thinking: I don't believe it, we will get specialists with a new coat of paint as they will try not to piss anyone off.

Cool so totally disregard what the director says in the interview?

"Specialists are also out this time around. "So I wasn't there for 2042. I don't know what the rationale was, but for me, it's like the team tried something new. You have to applaud that effort.

I'll believe it when I see it. Zampella being on it is a good thing though, imo. He called Dice out two years ago for being too far away from the franchise's core with BF2042.
 
No stupid fucken "heroes", no marvel quips, no pronouns or woke/inclusive soldiers, no fortnite esque skins with stupid colors.
 
128p was a mistake, old-DICE even did internal testing about that and found that 128p never really worked.

Wish this wasn't modern day though, something new like alt-history Cold War Gone Hot in the 60s or something would've been cool

Exactly my thought on it, although that's interesting if Zampella really said that. Maybe they'll actually finish this one before releasing it, but that's probably wishful thinking

I read 'wildfires' in that interview…..

Did they not learn from 2042, stop with the gimmick shit.

What? Games in the past had levolution or environmental elements.

Both features I liked along with many other players.
