Will you do your part? I will.

>>714309493 (OP)
i haven't played a battlefield game since battlefield 3 for the xbox360
it was worse than battlefield 2 so i didn't get battlefield 4

i'm playing 2042 again and is shit
just like every bf since 3

>>714309493 (OP)
Don't care. Im going to keep playing battlefront 2 that I got for free. I want 100 million players to gang bang EA executives

>>714309493 (OP)
>battlefield
>being the 3rd best selling game of all time
lmao

>>714310160
They said players, not sales. This game will have 2 F2P components(BR and Finals).

>>714309493 (OP)
>Multiple team members with knowledge of the project's finances told me that the current projections are now well north of that $400 million amount.
I'm sure this will end well, just look at how much money they threw at it!

>>714309493 (OP)
aaaaaaaaahahahaha

>>714309493 (OP)
This series peaked 20 years ago. Doubt the new one will be worthwhile but who knows, the old sjw faggots left and created the finals, maybe the new producers can make something good

>>714309493 (OP)
>we NEED to copy Call of Duty
>we NEED a campaign
>we NEED a battle royale
>we NEED live service
>we NEED to spend half a billion dollars
>damn our game didn't reach ten trillion players I guess Battlefield fans don't like Battlefield anymore time to cancel the whole series
Pull the fucking plug already.

>Genres like Arena Shooter, Battle Royale, and Hero Shooter look amazing from a revenue perspective. But there’s only 29 games in all of Steam’s history that have grossed >$1m in those subgenres
>Only Naraka Bladepoint, Overwatch 2 & Marvel Rivals have grossed >$25m and launched since 2020 in those subgenres
Wait, are they finally learning?

>>714309616
battlefield 3 on 360/ps3 was shit. you got cut down maps and only 12v12 at 30fps.

>>714314123
This desu

Why do they think adding more studio to this clusterfuck will help?
BATTLEFIELD IS A MP GAME
It's about USA vs RUSSIA and that's it. Nothing more, nothing else. We don't need tranny operators. Just a good immersion with a good gameplay with a nice balance between solo skill/ teamplay / vehicles.

>>714317753
People wants a full package game with SP, MP and a third mode. People hate 2042 specialists but people wouldn't hate them as much if we knew Mackay's story or Falck's story.

>>714309493 (OP)
remove the women and add national factions

>>714318259
Nobody wants a SP, especially for a BF game
It's all about the MP

>>714318259
I couldnt care less about random faggots' backstories, I am literally no one and will die in less than in five minutes from AEK mag dump, thats all

>>714318331
I want woman though, especially if they are cute

>>714309493 (OP)
>Will you do your part? I will.
Of course!!! #pride #blm

>>714309493 (OP)
10,000 players
99,990,000 bots.

>>714318402
>>714318451
>Nobody wants a SP
People still wants full package game, SP included. Better value for your money. Not like 2042 was an amazing game just beacuse they ditched the SP. It was the worst BF game with least amounts of content during launch.

>>714309493 (OP)
So I see this game will be heavily banking on the Chinese market.

>To help achieve this, EA hired three industry luminaries to lead Glacier, all of them based in the United States
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>2021 saw EA bring on Byron Beede as general manager for Battlefield; he had previously been general manager for both Call of Duty (including the Warzone Battle Royale) and the influential shooter Destiny
AHAHAHAHAHA

>>714309493 (OP)
>Will you do your part?
Will they do their part?

>>714318486
let me rephrase, put hot and cute women in the game and remove the roasties i have to hear in every gun fight

>>714318259
>People hate 2042 specialists but people wouldn't hate them as much if we knew Mackay's story or Falck's story.
No amount of grandma backstory will make the old lady hero character fit in the class-based army game.

>>714309493 (OP)
EA execs will never get over their CoD jealousy

>>714318486
Only if they are cute.
Nurse class that stays at the Field Hospital, doing M*A*S*H stuff.

>>714309493 (OP)
Fuck this game series lol. It’s the same exact formula every time

>>714318486
>AI image
>abysmal taste
As expected.

>>714318948
>>714318486
you can make every character in sp a female, just dont put them into mp

>>714319139
I'm not a fag, I'm a realist, no one cares about random Warzone operator #35463, people cares about Price and Ghost because they appear in campaign. EA rejected my job application too :(

>The project targeted a budget of more than $400 million back in early 2023, which was already more than was originally planned at the start.

Jesus fucking christ
What is costing them so much? It's just a fucking mp game, they already have their engine. We aren't talking a game with the amount of content as GTA6.

>>714310160
WIth how Rockstar abandoned RDR2 you'd think it sold a few million copies at best.

>>714309493 (OP)
have they tried just making it free to play?

>>714319340
It will have 4 game modes, that's why:
>MP
>SP
>Battle Royale
>Gauntlet(Finals mode)

>>714319323
I don't want to play a "hero" you dumbass + nobody gives a fuck about Price and Ghost. They were only cool back in 2009.
Having multiple "price" and "ghost" in your military sim game ruins the immersion.

>>714319116
git gud

>>714309792
Night ops was cool but yeah ea is insane with those numbers

>>714319452
But why? Fortnite is "only" a battle royal. Why all of these game modes when nobody plays your franchise in the first place? You are spreading the very little player base you already have. Focus on making one good thing.

>>714319452
>SP
Will be a 4 hour cinematic snoozefest
>Battle Royale
>Gauntlet
dead in a week like 2042's shitty extraction mode

money well spent

>>714319676
2042 and BFV's third modes were tied to a $60 base game, appearently Gauntlet and BR will be F2P.

They just had to do like valve did: Give the ability to mod the game. The moment one game mod stands out buy it. Like valve did with cs, team fortress or dota.

>>714319772
Oh, yeah Portal is returning btw, probably will allow map creation too if leaks are true.

No community server browser?
No dedicated server?
No admin tools included?

No buy. No play. I refuse.

>>714309493 (OP)
DOA if the multiplayer isn't f2p
only cod can get away with locking team death match behind 70 dollars

>>714309493 (OP)
>Will you do your part? I will.
Fuck off, shill.

>>714319979
Cod almost died out. They got soooo fucking lucky with 2019 + having no competition.

>>714319062
That's been their modus operandi since the 1942's expansion packs.
Battlefield has never been good, it only kept itself in the public eye with its antagonization campaign, rallying its little fanbase to yap at other, better, more popular games. They initially started with shit talking CS, MOH and Wolfenstein. Then COD came along, DICE found the ideal candidate to leech attention from for the past two decades.

>>714319340
Studios are always in high cost areas as they get all sorts of monetary benefits and breaks. It's like Spiderman 2 costing $300 million to make despite 80% of the map being reused.

>>714319979
>only cod can get away with locking team death match behind 70 dollars
You're retarded

>>714319201
2042 has like 2 attractive females with 0 fanart, so what should I post lol?

>>714320197
?

>>714320361
>special force
>female
jesus

>>714320460
Most casual FPS with TDM and campaign are paid.

>>714318402
I do. Bad Company was great. A six hour campaign shouldn't crater your budget.

>>714319351
They recently did an update to RDO, probably to incentivize players to upgrade to next gen.
https://youtu.be/YWWOQPKVCcQ

>>714309493 (OP)
How much can you possibly spend on a multiplayer shooter that would require that level of success? It's not like these games have any more content than they did 20 years ago.

>>714319351
there was no way the online would make as much money as gta

>>714309493 (OP)
if they pay me to play it, sure

>>714309493 (OP)
ah, they're going for the chink audience then

>>714321437
>the current projections are now well north of that $400 million amount
A lot.
Why? Two words:
IT'S
ROYALE

>>714317753
>Why do they think adding more studio to this clusterfuck will help?
It's literally stated in the article, EA wants CoD/Fortnite-tier revenues that's their target audience, that's why the budget is bloated with so multiple devs working on multiple gamemodes just like CoD with its Warzone mode.

>>714322419
>

>>714317753
USA vs Russia is overdone and boring. Since we've already seen China in BF4 as well, we should really see other super powers be playable like India or Saudia Arabia

I didn't read the thread but does Battlefield have any modes like Ground War MW19 or Clash in Warzone? That's the only online FPS shit I like to play.

>>714309493 (OP)
All male character with a focus on team play as well as weapons and proper vehicle usage. FPS in general are boring these days because there is no strategy or tactics involved. If it doesn't focus sorely on the listed features then it might as well be dead, it will probably sell within the first month or so but players will inevitable dwindle. They got the aesthetic down this time, but they will fuck it up, I just know it.

>>714324763
MW19's Ground War mode is literally a ripoff of Battlefield's Conquest mode.

>>714309493 (OP)
>devs taking 8-9 MONTHS of exhaustion leave
>they haven't even finished the single player campaign, they're TWO YEARS behind

>DICE Stockholm think they got cucked to the point of being a 'support' studio rather than handling the series by themselves as usual
Holy shit this article is a goldmine. Zampella and Byron Beede are going to kill the series once and for all. If they're planning to release it this year then we're about to witness another disastrous launch.

>>714325525
good, please, kill it already. And shut down the servers so Venice Unleashed gets populated

>>714325632
People would rather bitch online than actually go and play the older games even though they never went anywhere.

>>714325831
Well, personally I never stopped playing BF3

>>714309493 (OP)
Battlefield lost to CoD when they started chasing trends instead of doing their own thing

>>714326368
They lost it with BF5 when they went full woke
Even CoD didn't do that
And then with 2042 they did it again
Apparently DICE lost the lead of the IP with 2042

just saw 2042 for $3, but what the fuck is this secure boot shit?

And I wanna fuck Grace Kelly.

>>714309493 (OP)
No. I played the beta test and it was shit. 2042 with a modern day skin on it.

>>714309493 (OP)
>OP

meanwhile in r/battlefield

>>714309493 (OP)
give me a chud story, and i buy. stay woke, and i ignore your game

>>714309493 (OP)
God damn EA is retarded. They just cannot accept that Battlefield isn't making CoD or Fortnite money. They literally cannot achieve that number unless the game is F2P and people are tired of the other live games

>"Hey this isn't working out, don't you think that we need to-"
>lol no fuck off

>>714324942
Is Conquest a staple mode? Will the new Battlefield have it? I'll buy the game day one if it does.

Sunk cost fallacy, the game. EA should've melted DICE, fired and sue every employee after the release of 2042. 6 is going to be 2042 2, making the exact same mistakes again.

>>714309493 (OP)
lol no
Last battlefield games I played were 3 and Bad Company 2.
Never ever gonna give money to EA again.

>>714318593
imagine ever buying a battlefield game. Fuck thats bitch

>>714310160
GTA V only sold that much because of free Online money with each game, btw

>>714328403
Rush used to be the staple battlefield mode but conquest is the default mode after 4 launched.

Even if it was F2P and or a mobile game, they wouldn’t have the appeal or numbers they want

Keep it cheap and give us 1k player cap servers. You can literally keep the quality of the models subpar so it runs and everyone will have a blast playing a game like that.

>>714318593
No wonder 2042 was such a piece of shit.

>>714329223
nigger, rush first appeared in bc1, conquest has always been THE battlefield game mode

>>714324383
USA, Russia and China are the only countries that would matter in a full blown out war. India and Saudia Arabia aren't true superpowers. America's neutrino laser probably already disarmed their nukes and they didn't even realise.

>>714309493 (OP)
>bloated, mismanaged mess that needs to shift a trillion units or get ditched for the next attempt at a live-service money farm
Why would anyone invest a minimum of $80+ into such a thing?

>>714329330
Yes, and rush was considered THE mode up until 4. Then it was back to conquest.

>>714309493 (OP)
Maybe they should try adding in "destructible environments"? You know that cool thing everybody loved about Bad Company 2?

>>714329405
They've already shown that they're putting effort into making destruction actually good again after how fucking pathetic it was in 2042.

If you're even considering buying this after V and 2042 you deserve whatever shit they put out. Imagine being so dumb you aren't even capable of pattern recognition.

>>714309493 (OP)
>100 million players
The fact that they think they can achieve this is part of the problem with AAA

>>714329469
They did that for 2042 before it was called 2042. The destruction they showcased never made it to the game. It'll amount to nothing. It'll be 2042 2 with no improvements. It's only going to get worse.

>>714329793
Sure if you wanna be a big doomposting faggot about it but we've already seen a ton of gameplay already. It's clear they're not doing 2043.

>>714329873
This is exactly how 2042 was hyped as the saviour of battlefield. All the great things that got showcased never made it in, only slop did. There is no reason to have any faith in them when they have corporate chatgpt tier lore written for their operators for some fucking reason.

>>714328857

Not true in the slightest

>>714329405
>Maybe they should try adding in "destructible environments"?
Battlefield community is as clueless as BF devs themselves. What Battlefield needs is
>Good gunplay
>Good movement
>Good map design
>Good vehicle design
>Good balance between infantry and vehicle
Not shit like muh atmosphere, muh destruction, muh levolution.

>>714332284
trvke

>>714332284
No, retard, destruction has become a core part of battlefield. Why would you post all this bullshit and not think that destruction should also be something integral to the experience?

>>714332214
>gorillion of useless gamemodes
I don't even play regular conquest, it's been stale ever since BF3 imo. I play Rush, BT, Frontlines, TDM, Domination etc. Even better if they are infantry only variants. 2042 did game modes justice too, only BF since BF3 to have a good Rush mode.

>>714332356
Because it's not integral to gameplay experience since BC2. BF3 and onwards had destructible and non destructible parts of the maps. Makes destruction an afterthought. 70% of the people played as medic with no exclusives too in BF3 and 4, so destruction was even less important for them as they couldn't destroy shit.

>>714309493 (OP)
>matchmaking
>female soldiers screaming and yelling
>no singleplayer campaign
搞笑的

>>714332638
>Because it's not integral to gameplay experience since BC2
Frankly I think that's flat out wrong. Destruction is incredibly important. I've been playing 2042 recently as it was $3. I'm up to around 30 hours right now. You wanna know one of the biggest problems I've had with the game? The absolutely pathetic destruction. Dude camping in a building? Guys sitting in a building defending an objective? Sorry nigger you can't just take the building down on top of them or deny enemy players cover, you gotta deal with it. You're just wrong. I've played hundreds and hundreds of hours of 4. Destruction IS an integral part of battlefield . I don't take the defib on medic in 4. I take a 320 so I can knock down walls and engage with destruction because it's one of the best parts of battlefield.

>>714332284
In a vacuum I'd agree with this but you're probably CoDfag who wants zero spread laserbeams and schmoovement and on those grounds I disagree.

>>714333334
I want schmovement and I want spread though. Basically BF3 + BFV.

>>714333902

>>714334874
What's wrong with movement and what's wrong with spread?

>>714318593
oh my fucking god bro
i seriously hope the game flops if wont let me speak to other players

>>714309493 (OP)
so what is a good online fps a la CoD or Battlefield right now?
It's been years since the last time i played a fps and actually had fun like in the MW2 era 15 years ago

>>714336382
There isn't one.

>>714336382
Play CoD WW2, MWIII or BFV1, BFV imo.
>WW2
Basically MW2 in WW2 setting. Available on gamepass.
>MWIII
Best of nuCoDs. Tons of weapons, good attachment selection, good maps, good movement. Maps are mostly MW2 remasters too. Also on gamepass.
>BF1
Last finished BF game basically. Full package with tons of maps, weapons etc.
>BFV
BFV is like BF1 cut in half but with far better gameplay imo. Removes most annoying stuff from BF1 such as mortar spam, gas grenade spam, grenade spam in general, has really good movement. Gunplay is worse than BF1 but everything else is better imo.

Pick your poison.

If this fails, they won't learn a goddamn thing.

>>714336824
It will fail. Simply because they haven't learn shit from the past and now are throwing more people and money at it without really understanding or caring about anything else

This game is already doomed to be another CoD chaser. The TTK was low as fuck in the alpha.

>>714333004
nta but destruction was always a gimmick. its cool and all but not integral

>>714336658
Wasn't CoD WW2 the one with the black nazis?

>>714337061
Nah, that was Vanguard.

>new BF ends up sucking
Ahh....you were at my side all along.....

>>714309493 (OP)
God no. I held off on 4 and 2042 and thank fuck I did.
1942 was the last good battlefield.

>>714337094
Vanguard was My Team Vs Enemy Team

i dont know how they can do this after seeing battlebit get 100k concurrent players.
literally just make battlefield 4 again that can run on toasters. nothing fancy. make battlebit, but a little higher effort. like battlefield heros aesthetic or something.

>>714329223
Holy fucking retard.

>>714318259
I'd rather be a nameless grunt who joined the army instead of going to college and faced with the realities of war. Prefer that to the hardened badass 50 year old medical surgeon who also kills for some reason

>>714309493 (OP)
Yes, I will.

Just make BF4 with csgo lootboxes for gun skins. It's so fucking easy if you want to make money, no need to put trash like female operators or specialists.

Fuck I could care less if they have goofy nicki minaj skins. if the game has good maps, good gunplay and good movement then I'll play but they haven't delivered on all those three fronts the last 3 titles.

I liked the elite classes in BF1 that you picked up in map.

What's the general feeling about them?

>>714338547
Retarded, like everything else in that terrible game.

>>714338510
>I'll play but they haven't delivered on all those three fronts the last 3 titles.
They did, just not all of them at once.
BF1:
Good maps
Good gunplay
Shit movement
BFV:
Good maps
Good movement
Shit gunplay
2042:
Good movement
Good gunplay
Shit maps

>>714338547
I hate faggots that develop their whole playstyle on abusing them, they play like cowards with them just so they can go 50-0 or something. Having like 500 health and then being able to regenerate it is such retarded game design.

Roblox is the new hotness. They need to make it like Roblox.

>>714339030
I feel the same way but 2042, movement is not bad like BF1 but I wouldn't call it good either. The gunplay however gets completely ruined by the terrible mouse input. I didn't think the mouse input was bad until I went to the previous titles and it becomes glaring how bad 2042 mouse input is. And they still haven't fixed it.

>>714339030
switch good gunplay from 1 with V

>>714339407
BF1 has better gunplay imo, issue of BF1 gunplay is supression, not spread.

>>714318402
>Nobody wants a SP, especially for a BF game
BFBC1's SP was fun even if BFBC2's wasn't as good.
FPS singleplayer campaigns are what people want, it's literally one of Call of Duty's main drawing forces and when they removed it in BLOPS4 that game sold terribly by comparison.

Yes, many people are invested in multiplayer and will dabble in it, but a strong singleplayer tends to get people in the door.

>>714339172

BF has the worst social media presence. every time there's a tweet or one of their community managers is replying on reddit it's always the most condescending arrogant bullshit. Its embarrassing because as of right now that cant even back up their shit with the abomination that BF2042 was and how disappointing BF5 was

Hey EA, give us what we want, or else.

>>714309493 (OP)
I don't really care, since i'm dead-tired of the bf concept and never intend to play it ever again.

The only way to save Battflefield now is to ask the license of another IP to be used as a Battlefield game a la Total War.

>>714319572
EA wants to move on from the traditional battlefield playerbase, and has been failing for almost a decade at doing that
i want to strangle whichever suit is pushing this

battlefield players want to play BATTLEFIELD
BRs and extraction shooters are not BATTLEFIELD
fucking halo infinite big team battle scratches a better battlefield itch than 2042

>>714339594

>>714328403
yeah
MW19 is a shallow (and shitty) imitation of it. you will get frustrated if you play it like call of duty, bullet physics are exaggerated compared to cod's

>>714319351
Pretty insane, if you ask me. They could easily have churned out stuff for the online portion for years, but chose not to. Even though the game has gotten almost 80 million sales..

>>714332284
nice bait
>>714333902
oh

>>714340423
>EA wants to move on from the traditional battlefield playerbase, and has been failing for almost a decade at doing that
They'll keep doing it because making games called Battlefield but made for people who don't like Battlefield worked for them twice (BC2, BF1).

>>714339914
BF1 has great maps, mogs BF4 easily

>>714339030
what the fuck do you fags mean by movement
you want to be able to slide cancel and glitch around people in CQB or something?
cancer, stand and fight like a man

>>714340674
Spread is ESSENTIAL for BF gunplay to be good. Otherwise you get ground war or delta force with 250 meter AR laserbeams.

>>714324383

Lol

>>714340770
>cancer, stand and fight like a man

No.

>>714340804
BF1's spread was fucking obnoxious though, at least on medic rifles and slug shotguns
and then you still get fags with telescopic LMGs lasering down people from 200 meters.

maybe restricting optics could help with the laserbeam problem?

BF4's spread is annoying because you just burst fire to get around it

>>714309493 (OP)
Thats how you kill a game and possibly a company

I have never, and will never care about war shooter shit, its simply not in my tastes, ever, but im STILL being considered as a "potential player" for this next game. There are thousands, if not millions of people like me, that will also be considered "potential players" and the budget will be made with us in mind; more marketing dosh, more employees, more everything, not to mention all the changes to make it as bland as possible so its palatable to anyone's tastes, no matter the sex, race, age, nationality, profession, etc...

And then it will appeal to no niche, no one will love it, even less will like it, so the chance of "blowing it up" is minuscule, as the only thing that will blow up is the deficit on the budget since it was made with hundred of million of players in mind, and it wont even reach half of that.

>add slide mechanics but low TTK makes it useless
lol they need to make get actual gamer devs

>>714341014
And spread achieves what it tries to do, limit engagement distances. You can't full auto your way to win gunfights in long distance, you burst or tapfire to have accurate shots which will also lower your TTK so your opponent has higher time to react.

Ignoring EVERYTHING ELSE surrounding this game, the completely fucked class system alone already tells you they have no fucking idea what they're doing.

If they fired every member on EA's board of directors nothing bad would happen to that company their stock price wouldn't even dip.

>>714336658
which one has the most active players?

>>714341673
Depends on your region/platform. All of them are alive in EU/PC.

>>714340804
Spread is necessary to control engagement distances without making turning the screen into a Parkinson's simulator.
Schmoovement is cancer that absolutely no one likes playing against. Even people who like schmoovement hate playing against people using it, hence their constant crying about SBMM exclusively matching them against other schmoovers.

>>714341048
at some point you guys just need to realize slide is a retarded mechanic that doesn't belong in a game like battlefield
Either it's useful and easily spammable/abusable which turns the game into zoomzoom cod mash all the buttons (5 and 2042), or it's fucking useless and a waste of programming time anyways (BF1).

>>714309493 (OP)
Nobody actually gives a shit about campaign in battlefield right?

>>714341998
Normies do. Even BO4 flopped due to lack of campaign.

>>714341997
It's not abusable in BFV at all, you're just shit

>>714336382
>so what is a good online fps a la CoD or Battlefield right now?
for PC, its the autismo realistic simulations. Like Arma Reforged. Older games like Insurgency: Sandstorm feels like the old COD with short TTK.

This reads like a fucking videogame horror movie. What the fuck were they thinking when they decided BATTLEFIELD FANS would want fucking fortnite. They decided to say fuck you to their entire fanbase? AGAIN?

>>714341997
Slide is fine as long as it brings you to a stop at the end. It makes it a risk vs reward of giving you a lower profile that allows you to quickly get into cover vs stranding you in the open if you don't do it at the right place. Making it something you can just spam with no loss of speed or momentum is retarded.

what the fuck happened with this game?

>>714309493 (OP)
Battlefield 3 was a disappointment with less building destruction than BC2 also introduced 24/7 metro chokepoint servers as a standard
B4 was an improvement over 3
B5s marketing was lame as fuck but its gunplay was pretty good
2042 lack of server browser is bullshit. calling the fucking players "no pats" is gay as fuck and hero units is a dumb fuck idea.

Battlefield cant generate hype anymore

>>714342502
How is it abusable, no decent player uses it in combat. It’s just useful for sliding into cover.

>>714310160
GTA 6 is going to smash that record, isn't it?
it might as well be the biggest video game launch ever

>>714342792
>no decent player uses it in combat
BFV sweatlords are literally defined by crouchslide spamming around corners

i think ea should give it another try with catering to the modern audience
this time it will work for sure

>>714342817
Yeah the hype for GTAVI is INSANE people just can't stop talking about it. It will definitely sell to the moon!

Well this "next BF" looks like a PS3 game and they seem to not learn anything from flops of V and 2142 (or whatever that game was called).
The ONLY good thing I noticed about this game is that soldiers look like soldiers instead of abominations from V

Server browsers are for faggots especially on battlefield since a bunch of autistic nigger server owners banning anyone for any retarded reason.

>>714343052
nigga you don’t play BFV, I never thought I unfairly died to someone because they crouch spammed around a corner. It’s not even effective because your spread values get messed up if you try to shoot while sliding.

>>714342267

Battlefield fans are NOT the target audience, they DON'T want to make a game that plays like BF3/4, they want outsiders, they want whales that spend tons of money on battlepasses and cosmetics like with CoD & Fortnite.

>>714313873
Publicly traded companies are a fucking mistake. No one cares about the product or customers anymore, just please the investors.

>>714309493 (OP)
The alpha and network test was good, I had fun playing it and experienced little issues. If I was not getting the game for free I would most likely buy it. It satisfied the shooter/BF itch i've had since I lost my BF 2 box, and I normally don't play shooters anymore.

People are way too concerned about skins, that report implies that EA would turn it into a completely rigged fake FOS game like COD that favors fucking retards playing an FPS game with a fucking controller with overpowered soft aimbot aim assist just so they can make more money for shareholders. This is what we should be actually worried about than fucking pointless skins that don’t even affect the gameplay

>>714348972
Fitting image

>>714349189
Don't skins and other such paid cosmetics affect how automatching rigs matches though?

i really hope EA doesn't implement the same SBMM system MW23 and BO6 use

SBMM has been in Battlefield forever but it's less impactful as the other team has 16/32/64 players on it and the maps are much bigger so the chance of you running into xx_sweatlord isn't as high.
>i dont know why people aren't talking about it more
All the cod normies talk about it but it doesn't matter as every new cod breaks records.

>>714309493 (OP)
> too big to fail
I like a challenge.

>>714350902
ah i guess i haven't been following cod or /codg/ that much. its horrible. i dont mind being matched against sweats but fucking with my connection to force me to lose (and the other players to win) is infuriating. especially when it doesn't happen with every player on the other team

in MW23 you could counteract it by using a OHK weapon. you'd just have a little hit detection delay and that was it.

battlefield's matchmaking is OK, even in 2042. as a PC player you do have an advantage at longer ranges over console players, though.

and i wouldn't mind xx_sweatlord as long as we're on a level playing field, which battlefield (as far as i can tell) provides for the most part, unlike cod.

>>714350263
well the bone cancer in this case is much much worse than ass cancer, and everyone is only focusing on the ass cancer

>>714350902
Delta Force somehow managed to implement it, so you will be put into high ping lobbies just so they can put you into a SBMM lobby.

100 million? these niggas need to put the coke away. Marvel Rivals is a free game based on a hot IP and has only done 40 million since release. 100 million for a series that has to pull off a comeback because their last 3 games bombed is straight cokehead expectations.

Just like real life.

>everyone is only focusing on the ass cancer
Because the bone cancer hasn't appeared in BF yet and there's no sign of it in the alpha so far. Meanwhile, the ass cancer has been present since BFV, is a consistent part of live service games shooters in general and is especially egregious in the games that BF6 is trying to copy.

>>714352245

can confirm. i don't even build anything, i don't play multiplayer, i don't grind any resources. i just tame dinosaurs and ride dinosaurs and kill dinosaurs and breed dinosaurs. i wouldn't play this janky mess of a game if a better dinosaur game existed, but nobody else wants to fill that niche.

>>714351687
Yeah it’s clown world. Instead of balancing the match with, you know, players at your actual skill level on same ping, they’d rather give you a 200ms delay so some bot with 0.8 K/D can pop off and feel accomplished. Delta Force doing it too just proves it's not incompetence anymore, it's absolutely intentional. Games aren’t competitive anymore, they’re just dopamine slot machines now.

>>714352245
these people (shareholders, Jews, ceos etc) don't care. They see other games making hundreds of billions and they want it. They'd rather waste 400 million for the chance of 10 billion or than spend half of that making a good game that makes them double

I remembered when I was a kid and EA used to mean pretty high quality fun games, and even some of the sports games like SSX3 was absolutely killer. Then they went full retard, forced online on literally everything, all out jewishness on mtx, tried forcing a shitty steam alternative to play their vidya, and killed a bunch of really beloved game studios.

How are EA these days? I pretty much stopped buying games from them entirely years ago, but I've heard rumors that they've been slowly trying to work away their absolute dogshit reputation they got over the years.

>>714359612
Mixed bag. They fund some good games via their "EA Originals" pipeline for smaller titles that resulted in Hazelight's coop games like It Takes Two but their bigger high-profile releases tend to be buggy as hell and technically unpolished. BF 2042 was such a massive stinker and their recent Star Wars game is pretty good but the PC port is abhorrent.

i wont be buying another battlefield game ever again unless it comes with mod tools.

>>714309493 (OP)
players? That's doable, just release it on gamepass and ps+. Even Doom:The Woke Ages and Assassin's Creed: BLM managed to get 6 gorilion "players"

>>714346358
Meanwhile you can slide cancel in games like Insurgency. Play CS or Tarkov if you hate movement.

>>714359612
EA was never good you fucking zoomer retard. Raping & killing Westwood and Bullfrog was the same as 9/11 was to global politics. After that everything went downhill.

Lmao, brainlet, first Battlefield games were set during ww2. And the best one was about WW1.
Battlefield 5(also WW2) was almost good, but it had shite reveal trailer and had some bad gameplay choices, but even it sold well and was well received.

they say this to trick investors, they don't actually care about how much the game sells, just enough to get more investment rounds

Just let the next one flop like 2042 (it will), close the studio, lay everyone off, and let Battlefield rest
In the hands of any AA studio that just respected what the previous games did right and strived to replicate it instead of distancing themselves from it, Battlefield would still be one of the biggest online games
But EA and modern DICE (and the 20 different studios now also working on the games) just can not make a good Battlefield anymore, it's not happening, they can't and won't do it

>>714372143

I am going to keep it real with you. I give no fucks about quirky character #294848.

They already did like once EA started using Frostbite for all their games they started moving engineers to this team as to teach them the rope of using it. For my understanding they even created a team for FIFA once they gave up on ignite. DICE has been running thin for years now. The only time they had a full on team was BF1
