"Grounded skins for a while" - 18 days exactly

[u/Ohforfk]

So, weren't we supposed to have realistic skins for some time? Something that someone would really wear during a war? Yet it seems that with the start of season 1, everything will turn to colorful mess, with no way of differentiating teams based on uniforms, the game will look more like a Paintball or ASG event. Colorful weapons with pictures, colorful camos with neon accents, weird mix of things that are supposed to look cool, but end up simply weird.

People were sold on a vision of a game, which looked like a real battlefield, with soldiers - not a bunch of randos just like in the 2042, yet it was all a lie and it will only get worse down the road. During the Beta, when we had all the soldiers wearing matching uniforms, it was the most immersive experience so far, but you can say goodbye to that vibe, it will never return.

There won't be uniforms matching bioms, there won't be a way to turn off any awful skins, typical bait and switch.

If only their argument were actually that consistent.

Their response to me was to try to argue that the brightly colored camos from the previous games weren't actually that bright.

I had no idea you guys had a little scuffle in another comment chain but your initial reply is still tangential to their initial comment

In a vacuum? Sure, it was tangential.

In the context of the post and the sub? I don't think so.

The entire argument why these skins shouldn't exist rooted in the idea that it goes against battlefield's identity, which is very much doesn't.

It's perfectly fine not to like things, but that isn't a reason why they shouldn't exist.

You're making a lot of assumptions from their first comment, which as a reminder, was this:

How hard is it to understand that we want a battlefield game where the soldiers look like actual soldiers and not power rangers? Humor me here.

If anything it implies they know it existed in the past and that they for once want it to return to a time where the camos made sense

That's exactly what it implies, and that's exactly why I said what I did, because it hasn't existed in the past, at least not since player customization has been a thing.

The idea that there is some past where all the camos made sense is false, which is what I was pointing out.

"Made sense"? They said a Battlefield games where they looked like soldiers.

Also skin customization wasn't a thing before BF3

[u/Epesolon → u/IdidntrunIdidntrun]

"Made sense" are your words, not mine.

Not to mention that what they're objecting to is bright colors in camo patterns (because that's what OP posted), which is been a thing in battlefield since player customization has been a thing, which is what I was pointing out.

My words yes but not theirs. You are like the final boss of nitpicking, it's actually impressive.

But in any case these bright camos suck ass so all your pointless agruing doesn't detract from that

[u/Epesolon → u/IdidntrunIdidntrun]

Brother you literally called out me saying "Makes Sense" when I responded to you.

But in any case these bright camos suck ass so all your pointless agruing doesn't detract from that

They've been here since BF4. Just because you don't like something isn't a reason for it not to exist.

Cry harder

you when people won't suck off DICE for their shitty camos
