Most of the reviews are people bitching about the store or the Saudis from what i can see.

Currently the battlepass provides 1,100 of the premium currency so as long as you complete it buying 1 battlepass will allow you to get every future one for free (Unless they increase it which with this being EA is a likely possibility)

Don't worry, game's fine. It isn't a 2042 or a CoD Vanguard, and most concerns are from what could be rather than what is. Which is fine - they've done a very good job of responding to feedback with the exception of closed weapons and complete rented servers.

That's the same model they used for BF2042. With the slow surplus of currency you could buy a couple of the dozens of bundles they released for free, but we'll see if they follow that same pattern for long.

1:1 kdr is the goal for these kinds of games, and it's why I end up preferring pve shooters. This shit is just too unrewarding because the goal is never to go 19-for-1. Oh, well I'll play support then!.. Everyone skips revive, every third person has defeb and LMB of all fucking weapons are dogshit on a medic class. I'll keep playing this game, but man. What a shitshow.

Just don't play COD modes. Stick to Escalation/Conquest and your K;D will go up.
Medic weapons are not great, but they are totally usable. The problem isn't weapon parity, its gadget parity. If you have no engineers then a tank will wreck your shit.

This is cringe.

Something about the first tier saying "non-owner" rubs me the wrong way. Oh, you spent $70 on the game, but you don't OWN the game.

I remember Battlefield V having a daily/weekly challenge grind called Tides of War that would reward you premium currency to spend in its shop. If you played often, you'd have enough to buy a bundle in the shop.
 
The BR blows. If you get a tank it means you win, and Recon is pretty much the de facto class to play. The missions mechanic is pretty cool, and the map is big, but otherwise not interesting or fun.

Also the gun bloom is apparently not fixed with this update, and the problem being listed on the bug fixes page was a mistake.
 
Gauntlet is interesting but i think itd be much better if they dropped the armor plates and knockdowns and just made it a normal squad mode. On the other hand it is a piss easy way to get 10 takedowns in a match since you can finish off downed enemies

I think for the tanks specifically you kind of have to have an engineer on your team and have them open the engineer boxes. Everytime I did that I got an RPG with 5 rockets as well as other anti vehicle shit. The artillery barrage and airstrike also fuck the tank up as well.

Ended up winning a fight with a tank by calling in an airstrike and pummeling the tank with rockers while it ran, I'm also pretty sure your airstrikes can't hurt you.

REDSEC servers run at 30hz, except for the 'final fight' (towards the final circle) at 60hz.

David Sirland says 30hz is "more stable" because of the 100 player lobbies. "I'd argue our 30(hz) beats most of the competition baselines too."

Call of Duty's warzone servers typically run around 20hz for its battle royale mode.

After playing a full match of conquest on the new map, I only got 2 battlepoints, it takes 10 to unlock a tier. They really like making shit annoying to unlock, huh? I see there's like weekly challenges, but 2 points for a normal match is insane to me, maybe it's a skill issue, I don't know.

It's not a skill issue. They pulled their bullshit straight from 2042 which had an insane amount of grind if you were playing the game raw. You're forced to complete weeklies if you want to progress the battle pass. It's all chink refined player retention tactics and it's extremely Jewish.
 
One good thing about the free battle royale is that if you want to buy the full game, you'd be able to within the same client. A little try before you buy.
 
I haven't read this thread, so apologies if I'm repeating, but it's so fucking over.

I'm one of these retards that sort of believed that Battlefield might actually learn from failed modern shooters and retvrn to tradition. I knew EA/Dice would fuck it up eventually, but I thought it would at least take longer than a month.

The new skins are COD-level dogshit, the battlepass is fucking gay and I have to reserve a section for my opinions on the new game modes.

THE NEW GAME MODES FUCKING SUCK. HOW DID THEY LEARN NOTHING FROM THEIR PREVIOUS ATTEMPT AT A BATTLE ROYALE? Regardless of skins, battle pass and whatever, creating a battle royale and all these other game modes has doomed the game.

They obviously cling to the idea that BR will be their cashcow, and making it F2P like Warzone demonstrates that. However, catering to the braindead retards that like Warzone diverts resources away from the main BF multiplayer experience and irreversibly alters the direction of balance and cosmetics to appeal to those retards. This exact thing happened with COD.

The game was already having an identity crisis with all the separate gamemodes that didn't complement the classes, as well as making all guns available to everyone. The game will now have completely separate playerbases, some only playing BR, some only playing the CQB gamemodes and some only playing the classic BF experience.

I truly hate everyone involved in AAA game development. It's not just the corporate guys, like redditors and youtubers would have you believe. Every single gamedev from the gameplay and narrative designers all the way down to the lowly programmers are talentless fucking faggots that have stopped caring. I didn't even talk about the embarrassing singleplayer campaign that is so shit the game prompts you to uninstall immediately upon completion.
 
I just want to say that Battle Royales are the worst thing to ever happen to online shooters. I would -literally- rather eat shit than be forced to play one second of another BR.

knockdown is a terrible mechanic for pvp but snipers would be bitching that people tank their shots since snipers need to kill with 1 hit on your toe o algo.
fucking fags.
 
Finally tried the BR mode with a friend. We both thought it was clunky and awkward. I did like the emphasis on class identity for different objectives, but the rest just felt weird and not BF. The trailer was classic marketing bullshit where they make it look super chaotic and fun, but in reality it's still the BR experience of getting sniped across the map or dying to some random guy hiding in a building. Gauntlet is a bit more fun, but I hate the armor plating. Just because Warzone has it doesn't mean you should too.
