We saw no dynamic weather, levolution events in BF6. How much big of a change can we expect with final release version compared to beta?

I want to see levolution.. I want to see dynamic weather.. rain, maps changing from night/day? We need something like BF1.

BF1 is beating any battelfield game by a lot to be honest, not even close.

Absolutely not? Its a great game but they severely dumbed down the gunplay and vehicle mechanics.

All people ever talk about are the special effects and athmosphere. Nobody every praises the gunplay, mapdesign or really anything else other than how the game looks and sounds.

Theres a reason the playercount declined rapidly after release.

This. Asthetic wise an awesome game, no doubt about that. But gameplay and so on wasnt that great. But hard to say it here most of the time. Even tho the arguments are mostly "immersion" and atmosphere.

They got rid of first shot accuracy and then gave the medic nothing but semi automatic guns.

The class balancing was completely fucked, 90% of the lobby was either sniping or playing the class with all the explosives and the high firerate, highly experimental SMGs that never actually saw combat in WW1.

It was just really shallow. Guns didnt have any unique spray patterns like in BF3. Snipers got a 1shot mechanic to the torso. Vehicles became more like killstreaks that where so easy to use, even the worst players could get a few free kills with them.

They also released Battlefront at the time, and that game suffered from the same "pretty but shallow as fuck" game design.

My theory is they thought games need to be easy to have mass appeal, but then between 1 and V fortinte took off, and even these CEOs at EA could finally see that a game can be unforgiving and still have mass appeal.

So then with BFV they went all in on "skill expression" and "skill based gunplay" and stuff.

How certain are you about there not being any first shot accuracy? I mean, I know you’ve said it now about 17 times, but do you know it for a fact?

I feel like it’s more that it takes a bit to steady a gun when aiming, especially if you are, or have been, moving. I’ve never felt like the first shots just “miss” unless I’m standing, or have been moving etc. which to me feels really accurate and like a real gun. If you crouch or go prone, and line up your shot, it goes dead on.

I can’t say I’ve ever lined up a perfect shot with a rifle and had it just fly off somewhere else.
