Battlefield General - Discuss the series here

I've saw this clip on Twitter with the caption "Modern Battlefield wishes it could recreate this amount of immersion and cinematic feel to a multiplayer game", it's so disappointing that this is now lost in modern BF:

BF1 is modern battlefield aside from your immersion what else does BF1 provide its one note gameplay and spectacle, even hardline was a better FPS game at the end of the day

"better" is relative, the vast majority of fps normalfags want to w+m1, click the mouse a bit, then respawn. operations alone were a godsend since now they only had to run in one direction instead behaving like roaches when the light turns on in conquest.

Somebody has recreated the now defunct Battlefield 1943 arcade title using Fortnite's Creative mode. Titled Battle43, it's a fan-beloved approximation of Battlefield 1943 using Unreal Engine 5 and Fortnite assets down to the UI, pause screen, and map layouts.


I admire how dedicated and passionate the gaming community can be with gaming tools.
 
I don't play Fortnite but I might try it just for that game mode.

Quick correction: it's just one recreation of a BF1943 map: Guadalcanal. Evidently, there is still kinks to work out with the Fortnite FPS engine, so it's not a 1:1 recreation of Battlefield. That's to be expected, even so, what is there NOW is impressive with the tools at their disposal.

They went the extra mile in recreating the user interface, destruction, start-up screen, even the weapon quirks. I think they'll even do the Iwo Jima map down the line.

its unfortunate that more people arent dedicated to this extent, everything EA produces now is straight-up GaaS Goyslop, and its a travesty EA Executives havent been punished.

the dedication is part of unmet demand. you always have people that go "if you won't sell it to me, I'm gonna do it myself", but since most people don't want to create a whole studio and don't have the funds/manpower for a AAA competitor, mods which already give you all the assets and the basis to do it are the logical choice. too bad most companies these days think selling dlc and castrated highly controlled multiplayer with rank-grind is more valuable than have your game/engine used for other projects, let alone springboard for new games (check the steam charts and count how many started as mods. fuck this includes fortnite as well).

What the fuck is up with BF1 servers? They all show as empty, except 2 or 3, my ping is off the charts and there are 0 (zero) servers in Latin America.

What the fuck?!

Okay, whose idea was it for Hardline to have three achievements related to obtaining 10,000 kills per class? That's just overkill. Also, they should've stopped releasing Battlefield on PS3/360 after 4. Hardline runs like garbage on those consoles.

This was battlefield 1. This is "modern battlefield". There's even a bald dyke on the cover LARPing as a soldier. When said cowardly cunts were just white feathering young men to go die in the great war and pestering politicians/their husbands to get even more people to go die in said war in reality.

DICE seems to have had a huge brain drain behind the scenes around the time of Battlefield 1 and its developers clearly hated star wars. All fans wanted was battlefield with a star wars skin. Not this insulting arcadey shit. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving studio. They had a literal goldmine with EAfront2 but decided to just half assedly port scarif to it and call it "content complete". When the clone wars still had a few battles like Utapau and Mygeeto and Saleucami that fans wanted and would have paid for as a map pack.

But you bet your ass they'll go all out for Europe in Battlefield 1 as if every fucking COD clone and WW2 shooter over the last 20 years hasnt done the same. The only real difference is it was set during WW1. Yes Im MATI over that.

I actually think battlefront 1 hurt the look of BF1 the most to me, there is just something about how everything worked in BF1. The too clean UI, you could only enter tanks through the spawn menu(BF4 allowed you to do so but the tanks still spawned physically on the points meaning a good player could booby trap the spawn points or even steal a tank, the hero classes, and man I really HATED behemoths. BF1 is fun to play for like 2 hours and then you drop it for how bullshit it gets. People who endless glaze it are the kind of guys who wank off to the no UI aesthetic videos.

I also did not like BF1 throwing the classes out of whack the perfect setup for me is

>Assault is medic/forward attack
>Support is ammo/special gadgets
>Engineer is SMGs/shotguns and anti tank
>Recon is Sniper/Carbine and backline spotting

I know some old guys will say BF2 but even then 2142 made the classes smaller and let you use other weapons (Recon can still act like Spec Ops with a carbine and spawn beacon)

It got worse in BF1 when a player from a party/clan on the enemy side would join your side just to steal the vehicle and keep it at the edge of the map for the entire match.

I heard people shilling for that game alot so i downloaded it on steam and it install some creepy anti-cheat on my computer plus i think you need some chinky account I recommended you make sure all the files and processes are manually deleted if you accidently install this game thinking it wasn't chink data-collection scheme.
 
The server browser was always bugged.
The matchmaking usually sends you to an empty server too.

It's a fucking shitshow. I'm now starting to play "modern" games after a decade and a half I didn't touch a console, and HOLY FUCK it changed!

Controller sucks (why it has deadzone now?! Wtf?), games suck (way too much detail makes me lose concentration, like why the fuck did you put a tree with like different texture in the bark?! I don't give a shit a random tree has different bark texture than other!), the story in BF1 is short and crap (how can you divide WW1 in a collection of stories instead of covering a whole squad of a private going for like a general, of something engaging), online is a shitshow! My ping is always above 200, there servers in Latin America are all at 0 (which is weird af, you tell me no Brazilian spamming KKKKKK has BF1 even though it was on sale for like 2 dollars?!), I play twenty seconds and I got sniped everyfucking single time (I had a KD of 2.0 in battlefield 3 on PS3, so no, I don't suck so much).

And the best thing of all is FUCKING LOOT CRATES!!!!

Fuck, I hate modern gaming now.

With BF1 and BFV, DICE went out of their way to not do what people wanted to see in a WW1 and WW2 game. It's crazy.
Even in that Lawrence of Arabia mission they didn't let you play as him but as a strong female Bedouin.
 
I bought 2042 for $5 and in/uninstalled it roughly 12 times over the last 2 months yet kept returning to it. It has the general fast-paced and low-investment gameplay of a shooter I want, but just so much bullshit that infinitely triggers me.

Vehicles used to be "spawn in the back, run up to a vehicle, take off, and 5 mins later you're in the fight". Strong, slow investments. Now, you instantly spawn into a bomber that auto-regenerates hp, simply just flying over the chokepoint and dropping bombs for 10 kills, rinse repeat. "Oh, I'll play Lis and go anti-vehicle to combat these mlg420 faggots". Nope, one rocket does 15-20% dmg to vehicles, which is either regenerated or repaired.

It's like jedis in SW BFII, rather than short stalemate breakers, they're just around all game and you'll never get to try one and without it, you'll just never become a top 2 scorer. I like playing support but there's no meaningful support in 2042. Even if you SHOT revives, people would tap out immediately instead or die just as quick. Ammo isn't an issue cause you die and respawn in 5 seconds flat every 2 minutes anyway.

I tried hardcore conquest and lo behold, suddenly, without a fuckton of UI elements, sprint-dashing and all that shit, it suddenly got good. I've lost count of times I died to people sliding towards me, I start shooting, they somehow notice me, turn around still dashing, and kill me. Remove the dash and oh shit, suddenly sprinting is a huge risk. You're rewarded for aiming around corners instead of dashing around. I play defensively by nature and it just doesn't work in 2042. There is no "front line". People spawn around and behind you, and sprinting around like a mad man is the only way to get anything going, if not these 50 tools call out your position and you get killed by some faggot with a 420 tier profile banner.

They'd lose the modern BF audience if they slowed down the game but without doing so, it ain't battlefield. I watched 5 mins of bad company 2 and I was surprised how fucking basic and slow it was.

The stealth bomber with the cloaking ability is probably one of the worst things added later in the game. Just like the helicopters with their flare system there's only a tiny window for the player on the ground or in a AA vehicle to lock and shoot at it. It takes forever to lock and you deal little damage.
Lis' ability is almost useless now that they nerfed her, most people use her rocket on the infantry. Also if you want to learn how to use her rocket launcher in the co-op vs AI mode the ADS camera glitches after a couple of fires.
