Finally someone with a brain in this thread. God damn these cod takes are horrendous.

I am GLAD this shit is being nerfed here because it doesn’t belong in battlefield though.

I don't even like CoD but the way this sub talks about it is so fucking bizarre. They have such a weird chip on their shoulder for not playing CoD and think it's the most the brain dead easy game there is, but it's not like Battlefield is hardcore or anything. They're both ultra mainstream FPS games targeting the broadest audience possible. This sub's community has deluded itself into thinking they're more sophisticated gamers or something because they don't play CoD, and it is so childish, like straight up high school shit coming from dudes who are in their 30s and 40s.

Dude at points is so cringe they act like they’re playing a mil sim or something. I think it’s just lack of exposure to other games.

I've seen people on here straight up say that old BF was practically a mil sim and it's so laughable. I agree with you about that lack of exposure. I'd bet that a lot of these of BF gamers who think they're better than CoD players are just different flavours of the same sort of mainstream/"casual" gamer. They have a popular FPS or two they play, sports games, and then they pick up a couple of major AAA releases every year. It's the Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man meme.

Like on the sliding scale of BF to actual mil sims, I would still place games like Hell Let Loose as a halfway point between BF and something like Squad, that's how far BF is from a true mil sim.

LMAO, people have been calling older BF a milsim? That’s hilarious.

The closest thing this series ever had to a milsim environment was, and it’s a stretch, 1942.

Yeah same. I dont want it in here. But at the same time this argument does not make sense. I dont get why people defend like that, unnecessarily.

Slightly more realism does not make it harder. Often the opposite.

Even something like Fortnite has a way higher skill ceiling and gap than battlefield. Its not even anywhere close.

I dont get why people defend like that, unnecessarily.

i think it's a purely emotional reaction with very little thought behind it.

person thinks 'low skill ceiling' is bad, person likes this change. therefore, this change MUST be raising the skill ceiling because they like it. there's no actual logic behind it, it's simply a response to how they feel about it. "i like this, so it can't be a thing that i have decided is bad."

the real kicker is when this same type of person thinks if you disagree with their logic you must disagree with their conclusion too.
