I ignored the hate train and tried this out through its rocky launch. In December it was buggy as hell and felt half-finished. Some of the bugs were so obvious and bad that I don't know how they could've gone through basic play testing unnoticed. But when the game worked I had fun. I thought it might get somewhere if they got the issues fixed quickly and jumped on the content they were promising.
In January the game breaking bugs were fixed. But a lot of the mechanics still weren't working quite as intended and much of the content that was supposed to have been present at launch was still missing or incomplete.
In February the game is much smoother and less buggy. Feels like it's actually ready for launch. But playing is getting boring and leveling up weapons and skins is a grind. As long awaited and much needed promised new content trickles out it's incredibly disappointing. Only one new location on the way, coop mode is a bunch of stealth missions in a game not geared for stealth, new weapons are Battlefield 1 reskins and a bunch of British SMGs that saw little use and were functionally similar to the Sten. French, American, and Japanese factions are still expected eventually, but likely not for a very long time (only Brits and Germans atm).
I didn't think that one crumby trailer and some bad PR mattered that much. I still had high hopes for the game. But after 3 months I'm done sticking with it hoping it will get better.

nice
Jacob Howard
Haven't touched it in two months and not planning on going back. It's clear that Dice saw how poorly the game sold and decided that it's not worth it to add more factions or actual new maps (night versions of maps that already exist don't count).
Really sad to see how far my favorite franchise has fallen.
You should seriously consider killing yourself. Not the ironic kind of consideration. You should actually put thought into ending your own life. How many people would mourne you if you would die today? 2? And for how long? Nobody will remember you one week after your death. You don't make anyones life better by existing, on the contrary, do your parents for once in your lifetime a favour and kill yourself.
Nope. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the game with you guys and see if anyone else had anything to add.
Yeah. I think they've accepted that it's a bust and have pretty much given up on it. Pretty disappointing.
Logan Parker
The roadmap has laid out what content we've gotten up to now for several months now, I have no idea why people reserved criticism until now
New factions and locations have been unofficially confirmed by CMs and devs a few times now, they just can't make a big announcement or specific timeframes or people will inevitably freak out
Ayden Thompson
At this point they might as well just announce it to give the handful of people still playing something to hold onto. I just can't see them not fucking it up no matter what they do though. >tfw all you wanted was to storm the beach at normandy and kill some japs in the pacific theater
Henry Morgan
You're part of the problem. Even with all the knowledge you still bought it. Like my brother, told him about all it's problems, bad/small content. He bought it, played it for 2hrs then never touched it again. Can't cure stupid.
Jeremiah Wilson
Honestly thinking about going back. I'm tired of the BR meme.
Samuel Lewis
I bought it and liked it so maybe you're just a preachy faggot If you can't cure stupid then leave
Lucas Anderson
How long have you been playing? I enjoyed it at first, but it got stale pretty quick.
Jackson Phillips
weapon balance is really, really retarded. assault sars shit on everything it's fucking stupid.
Maybe next time you'll be ahead of the curve and not bother playing games in series that have been shit for 8 fucking years.
Anthony Gray
You purchased an EA game thus allowing them to continue to get away with this. This is what they always do, this is what they'll do next time. You are part of the problem. Do not buy unfinished games EVER. Do not buy EA games EVER.
Nicholas Clark
Why can't I buy the damn weapons locked behind their weekly grind? Yeah, I wasn't able to play one week, so now I'm locked out of a certain rifle? That's stupid. I like the game for what it is, a solid battlefield shooter geared toward larger scale combat. It's fun in it's own way. I just wish they would have had a hardcore mode, it always makes the game more fun.
Ayden Cooper
Imagine being so new that you think you're "woke" for buying and playing an obviously terrible casual game for months and then quitting it eventually because you got bored of it.
Kevin Wood
Jesus you sound like a crybaby
Carter King
>Pearl Harbor will it just be planes and ships?
Gabriel Ward
>I'm still playing my Basedfield Vagina.
Carter Martin
it's just a fan-made concept. is the real roadmap
Liam Gutierrez
I hope you realize you approved of it never getting better by buying it when it was at its worst.
Kayden Price
This is such a stupid comparison. They cover totally different timespans and are presented in a different format. The official format, for example, didn't list new cosmetics, weapons, and vehicles that we got anyways. Also roadmaps never work like this. BF1's DLC maps weren't revealed until shortly before they released.
Leo Martinez
it took you roughly a quarter of a year to finally realize what a lot of people knew straight away from looking at the first gameplay trailer. congrats.
Samuel Brooks
>gosh I did it, I deleted the game >I'm now only going to buy the next game to see if they fixed anything, if it isn't better then I'll think twice about the next after >am I based and redpilled yet?
Jaxson Baker
Can't you buy those with CC now?
Ethan Wright
Naivete thread?
One time I bought an early access game and I actually thought it wouldn't ruin my experience of the full game launch! lmao!
Joshua Butler
How? I can't find them to buy.
Kayden Hall
Apparently you can buy them directly in the armory by switching to an unowned weapon
Matthew Young
hello EA shill
Thomas Williams
Will try, thanks.
Hunter Anderson
I cant believe ive gone 3 years without playing a battlefield game. Fuck ww1, fuck ww2 the most boring setting. Modern or futuristic battlefield fucking when
Anthony Martinez
>I cant believe ive gone 3 years without playing a battlefield game been 13 years since I've bought one.
Ethan Cooper
Considering buying it since it was on sale on PSN with BF1. Guess I should spend my money elsewhere? It was listed as a bundle for $35.
Nicholas Baker
Woah 3 years??? Based BF4 oldfag!
Ryder Turner
>I ignored the hate train haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahha that's what you get retard
Asher Torres
giving EA money is a solid investment into worse, more expensive video games in future so yes, elsewhere
Hudson Richardson
BF1 was a tech demo for BFV. BFV is going to be a tech demo for the next modern/ future. I was thinking a 2021 release date, but BFV tanked so hard they may need to rush something similar to stay afloat. A game that looks like BFV with the depth a gun play of BF4 would be pretty good.
Brody Murphy
underated
Owen Ross
Any games you can suggest? Divinity Original Sin 2 is on sale too.
Was planning to get the bundle since the BF1 revolution edition is with the BFV and they said that BF1 is more polished and has a good multiplayer base.
Already have Rainbow Six Siege too, what are you playing rn?
Gavin White
Even Treyarch has done the same with Black Ops 4. Why do these devs try to do these "Games as a service" launches when it feels like they're putting out less content than during the 360 era of BF3/regular CoD?
Brody Nguyen
I will probably buy it on sale or at least renew origin sub service later this year once I've built my new PC.
I've been playing Apex for my FPS fix but desu it's getting pretty stale fast.
Either toss a coin and face rands at the start or wait 30 minutes to fight no one and then toss a coin on whether u get ambushed or not. It is fun for a game or two but unsustainable.
BFV is good for just old timey team strat FPS. Spawn points, respawn timers, weapon kits etc.
I honestly liked the game when I played at release and hope ppl will still be playing in a few months.
Bentley Miller
It's basically early access for AAA games, with them releasing a gimped game and and making the rest of the content "free" over a period of time to seem cool and keep player attention.
Anthony Perez
because they can charge the same amount of money as they always have but then when their game collapses on itself if it's shit then they can just bail on it without having wasted time and money on making content that's not going to get used very much
William Cooper
Titanfall 2 promised free DLC and it was all recycled or tiny shit tdm maps.
Same thing for Battlefront 2; it only got 2 proper assault maps since it released.
If an EA game promises free DLC, it's a trap. Good maps only get funded by players who pay out the ass for microtransactions or map packs.
I've been playing Bloodborne, Team Fortress 2, Dwarf Fortress, and Smash. Is it specifically PS4 FPS multiplayer you're after recs for?
Adam Hall
> and keep player attention.
Exactly this, but they do a poor job of it since everyone knows they're going to release the next entry in the series within a year, so there's no reason to invest in AAA titles when you can get something feature complete like BF4 for $10.
EA and other FPS publishers fucked themselves.
Lincoln Cox
PS4 is my only option rn. not finished building my PC yet. Got tired of playing Black ops 4 and trying to get into the BF series, got to saw a cheap deal $35 for both BF1 and BFV which made me consider picking it up.
Lucas Parker
Basically the same, I've tried the beta and didn't like it, I got mine free from buying a 1070 last year, and as much as I do care about the sjw bullshit it was free so who cares, I'll play anyway
cheaters were almost making me stop, but now realizing I just can't stand the same maps anymore I've just stopped it a few weeks ago, (even more so when I just really like arras and steel broken bridge one) and in all this time all they did on the content front was to release a ass boring gigantic flat tank map, I don't think I'm coming back even if they do release new map packs
just finished my second run on metro, did 2 runs on RE2:remake, will just get on with assassin's creed odyssey and way for anno 1800 and rage 2 for the next 6 months, fuck battlefield 5, fuck ea, fuck dice, not only I'm not buying nothing from them anymore but I'll avoid EVEN FREE GAME IN BUNDLES...
Henry Stewart
Damn if you only have PS4 and already have Siege, I can't recommend much in the way of multiplayer FPS that isn't bad, quickly dying, or giving money to EA. There are plenty of good singleplayer games for it though. Overwatch isn't something I like but I guess would be tolerable as a console FPS, If you absolutely must play a Battlefield title, BF4 has most of its bugs fixed now (though the campaign is atrocious) and is fairly feature complete and quite cheap. Don't touch Battlefield Hardline whatever you do. Otherwise, get cracking on that PC dude.
Cameron Hughes
just play apex legends
i hare BRs (and Brazilians lol) but it's free and the gunplay is like cod4/mw2 which is pretty neat
Colton Taylor
bf1 seemed like fun, but making a disgusting nigger the cover for the FUCKING GREAT EUROPEAN WAR already showed me how much of the pandering to sjw cuckolds dice was going to do, never again they'll have 1 cent of mine
Single biggest issue for me is how utterly retarded the player base is. The majority of players are completely incapable of understanding objectives, and its really common for a team to devolve into zerging one or two points in conquest while the enemy farms them and a single squad just follows behind instantly recapping the point. On Hamada whenever I get on British if I can grab a mosquito (or anything really, its just faster) I fly straight to g, bail, and watch as the Germans lose all but 2 points in less than 3 minutes because looking at a direction other than the uncap is too high a concept for them.
Dominic Reed
Its still telling that TF1's reused maps are still better than the maps TF2 had at launch.
Zachary Cook
I would play apex but theyd have to change some things. Make it based on 2 teams. Add weapon loadouts. Respawning after death and who ever gets 100 kills first wins! Sounds neat right?
Brayden Foster
killing floor 2 Shadow Warrior 2
Easton Parker
Hang on, 2fort and Well suck while Granary and Badlands are great. I bet you're an Engie or Sniper main.
Aiden Peterson
I dont fucking care about politics i just wanted a fun battlefield game to play with customizable guns and neat gadgets.
Tyler Cook
this, fuck BR
Bentley Morales
>tfw all i wanted was for them to show the Japanese advance in China, and their brutality, or at least something that hasn't already been touched on by the previous era of WW2 games
Easton Ross
why do you play conquest? do you enjoy just doing nothing for an hour until tickets go down all the while you nonsensically get shot from wherever and dying doesnt change anything and you dont even care about it?
Julian Hughes
lol
I totally agree. If you could bring back any past FPS of your choice to its former glory with a healthy player base, what would you bring back?
for me, it is CoD4 or BF2
Nathan Johnson
>Titanfall 2 promised free DLC and it was all recycled or tiny shit tdm maps.
Come on, Glitch was almost on par with TF1-maps. Fuck Tone 2.0 though
Dominic Howard
its because these games are marketted to minorities, women and fags and these people are dumbasses. This is why overwatch was bad.
Carson Lee
>expecting fun when EA is involved Any developer overtaken by EA is already dead inside.
So when is the next patch, and what factions will it include?
Wyatt King
my PC at the time of 2142 was never good enough to play it so I just stuck with BF2
that said my friend played it and let me watch when I came over and I'd love to play it today
Carter Taylor
As opposed to frontlines or breakthrough where the majority of the time you're on a team either incapable of pushing the first set/point or just melt and lose everything as soon as it becomes available for the enemy to cap? Playerbase was turning into retard shit long before they started pandering to anyone other than the "core".
William Ortiz
>and what factions will it include microtransaction black panther faction. pay 4.99 to do the black power salute
Chase Wilson
that makes 1 possible costumer, I make 1 lost possible costumer, but taking from sales numbers, 7 millions against 25 million on bf1, gamers in general DO CARE about forced leftist politics being forced into games
if on top of that the "fun battlefield game to play with customizable guns and neat gadgets" is not there, well, there it goes almost all the players, and with servers more empty that 6yo bf4 just a few months after launch, the next game will be a meme and only 1-2 million retarded fanboys will buy it like fallout 76, battlefield is dead, we need a new multiplayer FPS game
Asher Johnson
Because selling your game in five pieces fucked up the matchmaking and turned people off from the game. Most people just ignored Premium until it was dirt cheap or free.
Jose Reyes
What? did you read the post? the playerbase is shit because these companies pander to shit people. From the get go.
Jackson Phillips
Don't cut yourself on that edge
Connor Sanchez
>Playerbase was turning into retard shit long before they started pandering to anyone other than the "core". Honestly that's just a symptom of the fact that anyone who gives EA money for re-releases of the same core video game structure every single year reskinned is just a flat out retard.
David Reed
BF2 briefly came back with the Revive project. Played it constantly with friends for about a month, and it was just as fun as I remembered.
Ayden Brown
nobody gives a fuck about your political agenda bullshit, literally just don't play the single player who gives a shit.
The game is bad for other reasons
Mason Lewis
battlefield 3 looks real good to me right now I gotta say
Justin Russell
Youre overestimating lol. Apex is full of minorities gays and women but the gameplay is good so hardly anyone cares.
Isaac Perez
>literally just don't play the single player or the multiplayer lol? >political agenda wanting a historical game to look and sound like what it was isn't even political
asian women prosthetic limb soldiers screaming constantly on western front ww2 battlefields is not what anyone should accept as a ww2 game. it should definitely not even be considered political to not want that
Sebastian Evans
BF1 was garbage. Its dubstep-remixed marketing campaign and Actiblizz's own fuckups did all the heavy lifting for it. Casual shitter sales figures don't matter unless you're a stockholder, they just hit rank 20 and drop the game anyways.
Nicholas Gonzalez
The gameplay of Apex is rehashed CoD mechanics in a done-to-death genre.
Nolan Hernandez
does it affect gameplay no? sorry I dont give a fuck and neither should you.
Also you can turn off a lot of that bullshit custom character shit for multiplayer.
Liam Morris
t. Never played titanfall 2 good job moving goalposts since your retarded LOL POLITICS AFFECTS SALES!!1!1 argument was 100% incorrect
Logan Gray
What?
Justin Jenkins
prosthetic limbs aren't even in the final product they cut that shit so that people would complain less and it didn't work
Grayson Nguyen
Thanks for the advice, my neighbor has a BF4, I'll borrow it from him and see what happens. Some of the DLC for it costs quite a few which almost totalled the amount for the bundle.
Some of the servers he said are unplayable if you don't have the DLC.
Henry Butler
it affects immersion which is a big part of a video game. It's like if all the characters spazzed around at all times with incredible bugginess and you defended it by saying WELL DOES IT AFFECT GAMPLAY LOL DIDNT THINK SO NURD
I don't see what's so hard to understand about this: it's flat out dishonest selling a WW2 game and marketing it as a WW2 game if you're not going to make WW2. You're just being disingenuous.
Wyatt Cook
I still have shit to unlock in Battlefield 3 and barely touched BF4 before realizing the series is fucked. Why would anyone keep buying this shit over and over again?
Jaxson Allen
No worries vro. Don't buy the BF4 DLC up front since a lot of it doesn't get played; just buy the DLC as you need it (aka run into inaccessible populated servers) and you'll save money. Have fun!
Benjamin Perry
This they are worthy of execution whoever decided that to put niggers as part of the main instead of getting to play as a nazi war hero.
Jaxson Jenkins
>falseflagging
Isaiah Adams
Yes, but 1: they didn't pander, didn't say "you either believe this lie occurred in WWII or you're stupid", "whohooo women power!!!", 2: apex is overwatch level, no one cares if the characters are lizard people from skyrim, battlefield say "based on real facts" on the opening and people actually care about it
Jack Moore
no, I LITERALLY got 100 hours out of the game, I could not give a shit about the women or other minorities in the game.
The game has HUGE issues but this isnt one of them
Cooper Miller
Was it worth it?
Parker Ramirez
>no, I LITERALLY got 100 hours out of the game cool, thank you for telling me you have shit taste. You continue to repeat "ITS NOT AN ISSUE NOT AN ISSUE" but didn't address the point I brought up at all about immersion. I may as well be talking to a brick wall since you're so rabidly insistent on distancing yourself from "politics" that you can't agree to the basic fact that someone might want a WW2 game to look and sound like a WW2 game.
Asher Nelson
100 hours for 80 leafbucks is justifiable for me, and that's if I never came back to it. If they could release some solid patches with Soviets in say Stalingrad or D-Day with the rest of the allies I could easily see myself pumping another 50-100 hours.
its still Battlefield gameplay at it's core, so if you have that itch it does it reasonably well.
holy fuck do people really still do this autistic larp gamers truly are the most sensitive group of people on the planet
Juan Scott
Then why are you looking at the battlefield franchise then you fucking idiot.
Owen King
Don't feel bad user, at least you can laugh at the rest of the losers clinging to the game while they get raped by multiple blatant hackers every match.
Grayson Taylor
Okay you want me to address your completely subjective argument of 'muh immersion'?
No, the things you're bitching about did not affect the immersion in anyway I experienced in the game. There was plenty of times where I was immersed, Stuka divebombs, intense cc combat, sniping, frantic fighting in the last operation phase.
You sound like one of those people who rages in chat every time you get killed
Isaiah Robinson
Because up until BF1 (although even BF1 did a better job at it) the Battlefield games were good at immersing you in the setting. Why are you such a butthurt little fag about it?
Daniel Russell
I don't buy EA games, I however do follow how bad the train wreck is and enjoy laughing at the people still giving them money.
Samuel Bell
Agreed. I don't like when it's too futuristic though. Advanced Warfare was terrible. Anything after the Vietnam war is fine.
Jackson Miller
hm what game would you suggest is up to your standards? I value your opinion since you are looking for an authentic experience. Only have PS4 right now.
Nolan Perry
Just play Halo 3 on the MCC. There's a lot of people with mics and they're all white using teamwork.
Jose Lopez
it's a worse version of the same damn core game EA has been releasing biyearly for the last decade with a new coat of paint, and they didn't even get the paint right.
Cameron Jenkins
>these companies pander to shit people. From the get go. Explains why Yea Forums is full of so many faggots then.
Carson Ross
>buy Battlefield >get Battlefield >that isn't what I expected
Says the guy thats crying about MUUHH WIMMINS MUH PROSTHETICS (that arent even in the game) youtu.be/eHrnUvmr5cI as shit as the game is its about as immersive as bf1
Nathaniel Martin
The only issue with AW was the movement. A bf game with aaron beck art style would be great
Day of Infamy is very good (the worst it has is a couple weapon attachments being out of date and the Owen not belonging on the Western Front) although unfortunately it's not on PS4
Landon Campbell
>strawman I said "worse version" and the fact they're rehashing so hard means it's not worth it (the question he was asking) when the older games still exist and are populated. Dumb frogposting nigger.
Oliver Turner
why the fuck did they increase the footstep volume? it was perfect before. flanking is near impossible now because the enemies can hear you coming a mile away
Jose White
Rehashing except for all the new and changed features, sure. If you ignore all the change then it's exactly the same
Dominic Long
What else are you playing rn? Yeah, sucks its not on the PS4. Does not need to be a shooter.
Robert Reyes
I wasn't that same user.
Joseph Anderson
I’m in the same boat. Put 120 hours into bf1 and loved it. Played about 5 of v and had enough.
Besides all the controversy it’s just a bad game.
Daniel Morgan
mmyess who could forget the new and unique HATS haven't seen that in any other FPS to date
Logan Smith
>I don't buy the games Then how do you know that they're full of hackers? People said this shit about BF3 years into 4's life yet I saw less then than I did in 2013.
Isaiah Russell
Retard that's Titanfall 2, why didn't you fuckers play it before so it didn't die after 6 months.
Gavin Cook
You can? What is it, flat "No character customization" or something else?
Brayden Brown
not him. they did play it, they're the 3000 or so dedicated fans who actually knew of the game without it being advertised to them because EA purposefully smothered Titanfall 2's launch in the cradle by launching it alongside Battlefield and hardly advertising TF|2. they're the people who made up the playerbase for those 6 months
