What the fuck is wrong is AAA game buyers?

I think that they have time to polish and make decent games because of executives taking all the money, and making them crunch

Go home Bobby Kotick

AAA devs took the "360/PS3 era games were all brown and grey, where are all the colors?" complaint and SUPER overcompensated, so now everything looks like fortnite and has so much color vomited everywhere that it's hard to look at

dishonest comparison, DICE fucked up and you are using it as a way to shit on AAA devs but you still played their games

>DICE fucked up and you are using it as a way to shit on AAA devs
Yeah nobody else fucked up except for them. Not Bioware, not Blizzard, not Rockstar, not Infinity Ward, not Platinum Games, the rest are all reaching new heights every day

After watching this, I've realized that so much in-game dialogue is missing from the new BF games, just chit-chat and military jargon that's completely missing nowadays.

fpbp

blame the lukewarm IQ consumers that keep buying the garbage, not the lazy underpaid devs working for corporate millionaires

BF4 was already missing a bunch from 3 (no one was getting FUCKED UP THE ASS OVER HERE), but even it still had little stuff added that you'd never hear unless you were listening for it, like other players' soldiers congratulating you if you ranked up mid-fight.

Nothing.

Woah, you're not criticizing the game this early are you? It's an old build bro, just wait for the patch. :^)
Everyone who bought 2042 deserved what they got.

What Battlefield games still have a big active playerbase on PC?

You joke but Battlefield 2042 actually looks worse than V and maybe even 1.
I've seen this in other franchises as well
Watch Dogs Legion looks worse than 2 (apart from the ray tracing), CoD Vanguard looks worse than MW 2019, AC Valhalla probably looks worse than 2014's Unity

diversity hires

They're all retarded and retarded women.

4, 1, and V. Seems like V is the most active for some reason but I can always find games for 4 and 1.

>FUCKED UP THE ASS OVER HERE
god i miss hearing that

Game devs unironically thought it was toxic masculinity and removed it.

It definitely looks worse than 1.

4 and 1, at least in NA. I can find populated servers even at like 3am
I have trouble finding V
servers sometimes that aren't in fucking europe

funny thing about that, BF3 actually has a really nice color balance, like you can see in the alpha footage here they slapped a blue/grey postprocess filter over everything for the release version, but it was briefly possible to mod it out without tripping Punkbuster and play online, and it looked really fucking good

>maybe even 1
1 looks fantastic. DICE put a lot of effort into it even if you don't agree with all the design choices.

>THEY'RE ON ME LIKE FLIES ON SHIT

BC2 is dead and buried sadly, what a game that was, really makes me think about the expiry date of online-only games and how greedy companies don't care about the future of the games they make

Buyers keep buying shit so devs keep making shit, simple as.
btw does anyone know a good bf alternative? I'm getting tired of 1 and 4

Hmmm, today I will blame both.

I like Battlefield 3's aesthetic, they were trying to emulate the shitty early 2000s cam quarters that all the combat footage from Iraq was shot with. It was kino.

aren't they hemorrhaging players?

corporate meddling

So user. Would you rather fly, or swim?

Won't be long now before the servers are closed

Its funny because people shit on battlefield v and it flopped. And everyone seemed to hate current battlefield then. But normalfags forgot it instantly and got hyped. Only to be disappointed by a shit game.

best sound design in the series. they went above and beyond for 1.

Why not compare the same spot from the 2042 version of Caspain? Yes, 2042 is empty and ugly but they did redo a bunch of old maps which is the only saving grace to that shit game.

>cam quarters

Pretty sure you can use a reshade filter instead these days, have to change it for each map still

1, 3 and BC2 have the best sound effects

in fairness all online game communities die. If BC2 servers were shut offline tomorrow, im sure there would be outrage, but lets be honest, the people who would be outraged, would be the same people who haven't played the game in a decade.

Why the fuck did they even decide to crackdown on people removing the filter? I can't imagine a reason beyond them just being cunts.

Maybe some shit with anticheat not being able to tell the difference from a hacker. No idea, I did it for awhile but took a break from BF3 when they started banning for it.

their gay

it's a shit anti-cheat then, I use reshade in vermintide 2 which uses easy anti-cheat and that thing hasn't banned me yet, they can whitelist certain apps if they wanted to but they didn't bother

If you don't add character to your models and make them generic as fuck you can reuse them in other games.

I have never played a Battlefield game except for twice at friends houses because I was a CODfag and I feel like I missed out because at least earlier Battlefield games have more systems/complexity than "lol shooty" COD.

Yeah but how many retards still bought and pre-ordered it? They made 300 million on a shitty low effort revival.

it was like a decade ago so I'm probably just making this up, but iirc they were initially cool with it and basically just gave the caveat that future patches would probably break it, they wouldn't give support etc etc, but they did mention potentially adding it as an official feature
then the community manager (?) announced that they were going to start banning for it specifically, I'm pretty sure he specifically quoted something about "visual identity" which was universally mocked
there was also a bigger overarching issue with the mod community discovering that weapon properties were entirely client-sided and you had hackers running with RPG-firing assault rifles, in hindsight them cracking down on visual mods was probably just a PR push to cover for the much bigger security issues that they were clearly having

the BF3 visual mod was fundamentally different from a post-process injection like reshade, it actually bypassed the game's native color grading entirely by modifying the game's resource files

The design director for this abomination of a game moved on to Ubisoft (where I work). EVERYBODY has been shitting on him its hilarious

and he could switch to any company he wants and still make more than you. at that level they don't need competence because it is all about brown nosing the right people

Take BF3 fundamentals and gunplay. Remove blue filter. Add new textures. Update lighting. Add a few new launchers and guns. Change balancing here and there (Like what BF4 did to stop heal and repair trains). Add a few new GOOD maps that are not like the maps in BF4 and beyond. Give it a modern, near future campaign set during the start of WWIII to properly set the mood and theme of the game (Atmosphere is important). Add a ton of bot modes with reduced XP gain for new and casual players. Support it for 3-4 years with new, free content. Free demo on 1 map, conquest only. No gimmicks. Fire all diversity hires before development begins.

I saved your franchise, EA. That will be $250K USD + tip.

>it actually bypassed the game's native color grading entirely by modifying the game's resource files
>noooooooooooo not my hecking file hashes!!! how am i supposed to check for cheats if the hashes don't match

add a stamina meter. the zoomers will hate it but the spastic cod corner jumping AEK faggots ruin infantry gameplay.

>noshar canals
>crane camping faggotry
>glitched underslung shotgun glitch with pellets doing G3A3 damage

>BF3 fundamentals and gunplay

The gunplay is really dated, feels very floaty and it doesn't feel like shots really connect compared to 1 or V.

I agree. I am already making 125k at 26 so I ain’t complaining. But yeah he is probably making bank. Aiming for his seniority anytime soon :)

I think BC3 would have been better.

48 players max and maps a bit bigger than BC2 maps.

They were going to do it instead of 2042 but EA didn't think anyone would want it.

Game dev is just another another job for the new generation. Old guard actually cared about creating something.

hmmmm lets try to copy COD:Warzone, and rainbow 6 siege at the same time.

Millennial libtards can't make good things

Having good hitboxes, like in Halo, would go a long way as well.

I can tell you haven't played it in a while. It feels like it could have been released yesterday. Or maybe you think recoil should be primarily cosmetic, which really ruins the game. It's the main reason 4 feels so awful.

anyone else find BF4 and 2042 dont look nearly gritty enough? like the city maps in BF4 look too pristine.

also there isnt nearly enough terrain deformation. players should be able to dig trenches with explosives in certain places if they want too.


also the sightlines are gay as fuck STILL and vehicles can see everything.

cover? what a great concept, but no you dont get cover around here

>also there isnt nearly enough terrain deformation. players should be able to dig trenches with explosives in certain places if they want too.
This was awesome in BF1 and BFV, shame the latter game did everything in its power to make people not want to play it.

>like the city maps in BF4 look too pristine.
To be fair, aren't the city maps in China? So of course they're all about looking pristine and then falling apart when sneezed on.
>also there isnt nearly enough terrain deformation. players should be able to dig trenches with explosives in certain places if they want too.
The ground deforms all the time in 4, just not really deep enough to hide in as infantry. It's definitely deep enough to make shit near impassible for vehicles on some maps, areas like the top two points on Golmud Railway are a fucking hellscape to try to pass through on treads after a game goes on a while.
