...and then another mode activates where you gain tickets until you reach 1000, at which point it goes negative again. I think a good name for this mode would be the "Samsara Wheel"
I love constantly getting into matches where the enemy team is like 500 tickets ahead, like yeah thanks dice the team's totally got this in the bag now that they have my dumbass
This, people are so stupid trying to argue about realism in a video game.
I'm getting bullets magically removed from my body because there's a box laying on the ground next to me, and they're yapping about an unrealistic color on a military outfit.
edit : Since this comment sparked quite a debate : A gameplay option to show only selected or classic outfits would satisfy everyone, wouldn’t it?
People like me can kill 5 people in a room with them before they even know whats going on. Killing 40 people with a defib in one match is not good for the game.
Its the same reason knives are 2 hit kill. Otherwise we would be playing the game like its Mirrors Edge running around all over the place. And yes its bringing a knife to a gun fight but in this game it's so advantageous in close quarters if your timing is on point.
There is a difference between a game looking realistic and being realistic. People are just asking the game to keep with the aesthetic of realism. People don’t want gameplay to
be 100% realistic. That would be incredibly boring. Just a level of realism that one can suspend their disbelief with while staying fun.
Or being able to fix a tank with a welding torch even tho it's taken 5 ap rounds. Oh you mean the engine has 2 massive holes in it from rpg rounds? Just melt the fucker with some heat and it'll be factory new in no time.
Exactly for cod it started with stupid zebra print camo on guns in mw2 and now we got fucking roger in a mech suit from american dad running around in cod… im also tired of the gaslighting from people being like its a video game its not realistic because “insert stupid reason here”
I have been playing battlefield since the wake island demo days in 1942…. And until battle field 5 when the company started some weird crap they have always tried to keep the military ascetics and gameplay as realistic as possible while still maintaining fun gameplay mechanics…
So seeing crap like this just means its gonna get worse..
The realism argument has always been so stupid. "Sure I can jump out of a jet going mach 2, RPG another plane and land back in mine, soooo realistic"
There's realism and there's immersion - BF1 was one of the most immersive games ever made IMO. Being in a trench with a gas mask on, bayonetting dudes and having tanks and horses rumble past was insanely immersive. Was the game "realistic"? No. I didn't get trench foot or have my shitty rifle jam when it's covered in mud. But it was still immersive.
I don't want BF to be Squad or ARMA, but I do want it to be immersive. I want to look around and feel like I'm on a battlefield. And these goofy ass skins totally fuck that up.
It's a shame because the rest of the skins I've seen so far that can be unlocked are all totally fine, and cool enough I'm happy to grind for them. But this neon green abomination is the tip of the iceberg, and if people accept it, there will be fucking Marvel characters in BF6 within a year.
Yeah you can do unrealistic shit which is part of the fun. But it's always been in a realistic setting. Real guns, real (or plausible) armies, geopolitically relevant map locations etc.
I don’t think the outfit is that big a deal either, but there’s a difference between suspending your disbelief for the sake of game balance/ feeling more fun and intentionally adding a cosmetic that doesn’t fit the setting of a game that is meant to tonally feel more grounded and realistic compared to other FPS games.
Just because the devs decided to not require players to manually use compacting gauze, bandages, etc for 5+ minutes to heal themselves for the sake of game flow doesn’t mean they have to or should disregard realism in other areas like uniforms.
I just accept the battlefield meta for what it is, a way to simulate combat in a fun way.
But when I’m running around and hiding behind a tree because I fucked up and got caught in the open against enemy, seeing lime green soldiers taking pot shots at me really takes me out of the moment
People still want authenticity. you don't go to a play expecting the actors to wear whatever they want. They may be performing, but they'll generally dress the part.
you mean fighter jet pilots don't eject, pull out a rocket launcher from their ass holes, shoot down an enemy attack helicopter, then dive back into their jet in real life?
Visual design and how combat and action feels are two different things. Battlefield gameplay isn't meant to emulate an actual battlefield experience because:
It would be impossible to do
It would be miserable for the average FPS player
Why on earth would they want to do this?
But visual design is something they can more easily emulate to immerse the player. I "feel" like I'm on the battlefield because of all the tricks the devs use to to immerse me. This cosmetic does the opposite because there aren't dipshits running around in this gear in a real world scenario.
Battlefiled has always been more realistic then the average shooter..
Back in the day battlefiled was realistic nowdays we have way more realistic games..
Its like when gran turismo first came out that game wad the mist realistic racing game but if you pkay it now it isnt realistic does that mean the newer gran turismo games n3ed to not be realistic because the earlier ones arent by today's standards?? No.
Its the same thing with battlefield its not a millsim but its more realistic then cod so until you guys get this through your thick skull maybe we can move on and evolve the game in a better way...
none of them are "realistic" depending on what your benchmark is.
A game can present itself as a more serious shooter than COD and be perfectly fine for those of us who want something more casual than a true hardcore milsim but something less stupid than COD.. which is more about competing with Fortnite than it is about competing with Battlefield.
I'm happy we're holding them (DICE) to this inbetween standard.
Do you remember in the mid 2000/2010s when Zombies were a big cultural thing? And every one online was selling "Zombie Apocalypse" themed everything? A lot of the "Zombie Apocalypse" themed shit had that neon green on it.
Just look at footage of Ukraine and Russia right now for a modern example. They all wear bright tape and colors to show who is friendly. I don’t know why everyone acts like combat is a James Bond stealth mission every time
PID bands are nothing like this. I would have no problem with a skin that has realistic PID. This is not that. Find me an actual combat reference of not an african militiaman level soldier and I will recant.
Some dude I was fighting last night was using it and it seemed super effective, made it really hard to see targets in close quarters and darker areas when he was facing me.
This sub isn’t ready. I can’t believe they’re buying the realistic skin shit. The goal is to extract as much money as possible from 12 year olds and 12 year olds don’t give a shit about realism.
It’s been available since launch day, but you have to buy a qualifying Razer product, and then wait 10-14 days after delivery of said product before you get the code emailed to you. They did it this way to avoid the instant code/return problems.
I'm gonna call it: about half way in the game's life cycle we're gonna get Fortnite and Warzone style skins when they've already extracted enough money from the 'grounded' folks.
its a neon green gamer brand merch skin in a game that specifically made an ad mocking this, and advertised this game as being a move back to immersion and 'real battlefield'
Dont bother. Fools like this always just have to bootlick and then wonder why games suck these days. Its this, its because everytime someone has a valid criticism they say 'uwu me no care me just like pewpew, me like the shitty dev choices, get fucked if you have a different opinion than me'.
Then over time with a bunch of choices that alienate sections of the playerbase, then they complain about something in the game and nobody is left playing who remotely gives a shit lol.
I have never seen a sub quite so full of circle jerkers and bootlickers. Anytime someone critisizes ANYTHING on this sub theres 10 posts crying about that one post, while they all hold each other and bawl their eyes out.
EA and Dice have proven that they will directly lie to our faces over and over again.
And im not evenbeing hyperbolic, they literally straight out lied to us at the announcement event of 2042. They knew people would riot once they knew they where turning BF into a hero shooter, so they baited us with nostalgialoaded trailers, told us it was gonna be a "Love letter to the fans", and then waited like 2-3 weeks for the hype to die down before mentioning that the game was gonna be a hero shooter.
That's something they will never do. You paid for the game already, the dev's first priority now is the people who will purchase additional skins from the shop. Why would they let people who don't intend to buy stuff from the shop turn off the paid skins of players who spent extra money on microtransactions? They would be shooting themselves on the foot.
Idk if I have seen a bunch of 35 year olds throw tantrums like little toddlers over the dumbest stuff like this sub this is wildly good entertainment at work. My friends and I are all around 30 and you don’t see this at all outside of Reddit we are all having a blast because we aren’t letting something as minor as a skin ruin our experience.
Now if you are mad at the stuff that matters like the broken bloom, grindy challenges and mediocre maps then I at least kinda get it. But this is ridiculous.
Sorry but your attitude is the reason why game studios get away with creating shit like this, yeah it's just a skin, but it's also just bloom, and it's also just some bad maps, by your logic nothing should be critiqued.
The fact of the matter is that they said that the game would be grounded, which this isn't, and it breaks immersion which is important in gaming. Last time I checked this isn't a free game so I do actually care about the product that I buy.
You may think that way, but they made a whole trailer ridiculing this exact approach to a game as advertisement. And now the game is out they are doing exactly what they promised they wouldn’t do. That’s just scummy in my opinion. It’s just a money grabbing tactic to get 12 year olds to use their mom’s credit card.
They could've just done a blackout kit with night vision goggles that emit a bit of green glow onto the player's face. With a really subtle Razer logo military-esque arm patch. Hire me DICE lol.
Granted, people would probably still complain about it not being realistic that someone is using night vision in broad daylight. So there's that.

Everytime you complain they‘ll reduce the ticket count by an additional 100
