Battlefield General - Discuss the series here

Historical Strelkov said:
Ultimately its become just an unimpressive version of 4 with mid to bad maps. Its completely playable in its current state. Remaking Battlefield 4 won't save the franchise, because 3 and 4 were conceptual downgrades from 2. They're only upgrades in relation to BC2. The Frostbite engine was substandard for most of its existence.

I take it had something to do with Battlefield conforming to consoles since 2: Modern Combat and Bad Company around 2005-2008. Concessions had to be made based on the increasing console market at the time, the lower player count from Bad Company 2 to 4 on seventh gen consoles being an obvious one.

From a couple I recognized, they’re Call of Duty streamers. That fat Tim guy is there too.

I noticed BF6 is copying Call of Duty in a couple areas: a shooting range and lean-and-peek gunplay.

Again, I’m impressed so far but I want to play it to accurately judge it. EA also said that they’re not upping their MSRP to $80 (yet) so this would be the tipping point of where Battlefield goes. Hence the beta and multiplayer reveal.

The lean and peak thing has been a thing since Battlefield 1 at least.

I think having a shooting range is a good thing.
Unlike in Battlefield 2042 where I had to expirement by going back and forth with gun customization, and playing with bots.

I was able to expirement with certain attachments when I was playtesting this game.

FYA, I am mentioning this because they came out with an email with update to the NDA saying we can now show our experiences from our playtesting between March 7th and today.

And before you all ask, yes.. Unfortunately there are female soldiers.

Wait, you played? If so, does the game seem relatively stable or is it another buggy mess?

TBf, it was an alpha playtest, so there being bugs was inevitable.

Framerate and videoquality wasn't the best, but that's probably due to the fact that my PC isn't exactly up to date, and it being a playtest so I don't want to entirely blame them for that.

One frequent bug I saw was that nearly everytime I was killed, the player model of the guy that killed me would often just freeze in place from the instant moment he killed me while everything else was going on like normal.

Another bug I saw was actually not different from the early Battlefield 3 compilations bug, where character models were missing parts and pieces. I remember when it was showing the post game screen showing all our round accomplishments with all our character models and we looked pretty fucked up with heads, heads, limbs or skin missing.

Ngl I laughed my ass off when I saw that.

One bug that I did see from the last play test which was not so long ago that I kinda did blame EA for that were when servers were really unstable. Everyone was experiencing lag and the ping was really bad.

Was kinda a disaster to the point where they announced in the Discord server that they are ending the playtest early and delaying it.

Can you change genders like you can change classes? How do they look?

In the play test, you couldn't. You automatically spawned as a guy or female.

I don't know if they are, but they all look like they're bald for some reason. So it's actually kinda hard to distinguish between the female characters and male characters because of the uniforms and them being generic looking until you hear them.

That's what Battlefield 2042 was supposed to be and they fucked it up. They're adding shitty immersion breaking skins post launch 100%

There is a big market in appealing to "chud" gamers(ie making games like they were 15-20 years ago), but these companies want their cake and eat it too so they add poz and microtransactions after the fact. Don't give these companies your money.

It's like military recruitment adds you know shit has hit the fucking fan when they start advertising to straight white males.
They got to have lost millions if not billions in potential earnings to dial it back this far.

Dice is Swedish, I'm sure most of their devs are true blue believers in DEI bullshit. Sad to say but it's here to stay until EA tells them to knock it the fuck off, and the chances of that are slim to none.

I would say Swedes in general aren't progressive but just like america, big cities are. Dice is located in Stockholm which is one of the most progressive cities in europe.
Dice as a company has imploded after these last 10 years. The dircetor for 2042 had only worked on candy crush. Currently 98% of people who has made has never worked on battelfield before. Dice is currently not managed by swedes but by americans who make all decisions.


Here is an exdevs perspective:https://bsky.app/profile/rizible.bsky.social/post/3lfyslc2sf62g
Short rundown is this. Big boss fucked off and took the best people with him. When he left most of the senior staff either jonied him or fucked off to other studios. 2042 failing cause of the brain drain meant that EA cleaned house and now is being run by americans who want to turn it in to COD. EA hired Ex ubisoft people and EX cod people to make sure it happens. The end goal is to crank out a battlefield game every year with microtransactions and battlepass.

lol, lmao even
This franchise is gonna flop harder in a couple of years, maybe even this year, then it did with 2042. I bet 343 would also join in to create their own retarded COD killer strategy but they're so fucking incompetent there is no way they would be able to release any finished game within a year.
This only had a chance to work with XDefiant cause these devs actually knew what they were doing. Problem was, well, Ubisoft, I think literally any other publisher other than Activision and Ubisoft would have been better.

Female soldiers in Battlefield 6 would not bother me, as long as they don't appear distracting like 2042's specialists or horrific like Call of Duty: Vanguard.

Shaving your hair or keeping it short in the military is for practical reasons.

The military also makes exceptions for military service members with religious beliefs that require them to maintain longer hair or beards. A formal request should be made and approved by the relevant military branches.
suuure....

If that's the case, then they definitely won't bother you because you are never really able to notice them.

Hopefully they remain undistinguishable and they don't pull another bait and switch.

Is that an issue though? 2042's issue was maps and the stupid character thing and how that got put back into classes. Gameplay wise it was pretty solid.

Now that I think about it looking back on the maps I played, they are indeed a step forward from 2042s bloated maps.
