As @Thiletonomics would say, "Don't be sad. It's just how the way things work here." All I could do is wince of second hand embarrassment hearing those post-game quips.

the example i posted is from 2012 though and is the first game where i saw this post-match emote/talk thing, i don't know when it started or in which region either.
anyway i won't derail further because i was trying to revive a bot in 2142 and only had to time to look to my right side where i saw a friendly buggy before being killed in suez canal, always pay attention to the minimap i guess.
yes i laughed for a full minute due to the comic setting of a medic trying to revive someone only to get killed in the process by a friendly.

remember when the server browser in bc2 was so dogshit it didn't show pings for 2 months, then everyone liked they'd make it standalone like mustards had already be doing with gamespy and other server browsers?
fast forward when consoletards infested the franchise and everyone cheered they put it back in the game and how "it will be better?"
bf3 vanilla maps are overall good but the devil's in the details, like metro being a retarded funnel and lot of them outright allow baseraping after a certain point (best example being seine crossing). unironically metro in bf4 is a vast improvement by adding a single fucking exit.
that can work, but I doubt that's what people wanted when they bought a BATTLEFIELD game.
the smart play would be playing it safe with the base game then go all out with the DLC like bf3 did (one for cod-kiddies, one for vehiclefags, can't remember the third tbh) each playing to their own strengths.

Yeah I try to be a positive person but man it made me instantly lose interest in the campaign. None of them have been very good but the last few have been atrocious. The tiger mission in V was good but it wasn't because they were German, that was interesting to see and a surprise especially for that game, but the dynamic of a losing battle and impending doom narrative is always interesting to me. I personally have wanted a game where you play as a war photographer journalist setup like dead rising or something, but they won't do anything interesting like that, and even if they did it's battlefield. They shouldn't do it. Could a undercover woman CIA operative be an interesting game? Sure, but again it's Battlefield. It's either going to be shitty stealth sequences like Farah as a kid in MW19 or out of place bombastic action given the setup with the character.
Also maps have been leaked via concept art set in the US. Are they actually going to do a literal civil war?

a proper battlefield: world in conflict could be GOAT, but with MUH CHINA OPINION (only other realistic opponent would be putlermort) and TDS runs deep (can't have MURICA FUCK YEAH), so it will

In that case, I'd hope the undercover female CIA operator or whoever would be an older White woman like Laswell from the nu-MW series. Maybe a flashback sequence where she is younger or IS younger but looks presentable and badass.

This game is so good. I never expected an RTS to make me feel emotion. Bannon's arc, fuck.

It'll probably just be a five-six hour campaign completely separate from other Battlefields. Just enough time to use the 10-hour EA trial.

Man, I SUCK at games like Battlefield, yet I still cannot get enough of Battlefield 1.

They're fucking it up. Turns out there won't be class-exclusive weapon types

What's the point of classes if you can just use weapons whenever however? This is basically CoD's Create a Class.

Yeah, I think it's a big mistake. The weapon type should be tied to the class. BF2042 had the same bullshit called proficency and it didn't stop people from using other weapons because there's no real incentive to use the one tied to the class (the engineer for example has better stability with the LMG, wow so useful... if I play support I don't care, I will get the LMG).

It should go without saying but I'm fine with any class being able to pick up weapons from the battlefield, not have a Assault equip a sniper upon deployment.

This, or a battle in Not-Ukraine, in the sense that it could show off modern battlefield situations. Artillery shells that fire off rounds which scatter mines, defending a stronghold that has to contend with waves of enemies as well as bombardment and kamikaze drone swarms, ruined city landscapes where you fight amongst the rubble, lone drone operatives calling in strikes, etc. It could be very compelling, but they likely won't touch anything like that.
Also weapons not being tied to class is a bad idea. Support is the clear winner if it can heal, resupply and use any weapon.

Bumping the thread because EA's anti-cheat system now requires Secure Boot to be enabled or BF2042 won't start.

Because it can mess up your Windows system and it doesn't work well with Linux.
EA has a kernel-level anti-cheat, that's already enough. If they want to get rid of the cheaters, they should remove the matchmaking nonsense and bring back player-owned servers.
