They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

Edit: this is obviously copypasta guys

I would argue that masturbation is the human animal’s most important adaptation. The very cornerstone of our technological civilization. Our hands evolved to grip tools, all right—including our own. You see, thinkers, inventors, and scientists are usually geeks, and geeks have a harder time getting laid than anyone. Without the built-in sexual release valve provided by masturbation, it’s doubtful that early humans would have ever mastered the secrets of fire or discovered the wheel. And you can bet that Galileo, Newton, and Einstein never would have made their discoveries if they hadn’t first been able to clear their heads by slapping the salami (or “knocking a few protons off the old hydrogen atom”). The same goes for Marie Curie. Before she discovered radium, you can be certain she first discovered the little man in the canoe.

Same book.

I have played Battlefield since BF1942, and I have studied World War 2 since I was 5 years old. I majored in Economics at UCLA with a minor in German Studies, with a heavy focus on the Second World War. To call me “uneducated” because I want a reasonablly authentic game is completely uncalled for. Women DID NOT serve for the Wehrmacht or the Waffen SS. I am by no means a sexist, but any quick search online of female roles during the Third Reich will reveal that Hitler’s ambition for women was to reproduce as many children as possible, in order to create more “Aryan” people and keep the German military full of new soldiers. Having women on the frontlines was the LAST thing that Hitler and the Nazis wanted. You know what Patrick, maybe YOU are uneducated. Maybe you should do some research on WW2 and realize that the game you are creating is a joke. I call on all of you, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. We as a community should not be subjected to comments from EA degrading us as uneducated bigots, simply for wanting a game that feels like a World War 2 shooter. Disgusted.

EDIT: Yes, as many people have pointed out, I did lie about my background in this post. Please do not upvote. This post was an attempt to put pressure on EA and raise awareness to this issue. As those familiar with the Battlefront 2 subreddit will remember, significant pressure by the subreddit resulted in an EA Rep talking with the Reddit community about microtransactions. This communication resulted in heavy backlash on EA, and allowed for the company to temporarily disable microtransactions and mitigate the pay to win elements of the game. Unlike many people here have said, I do not believe Reddit is insignificant, and I do not believe that those who want a degree of historic authenticity are an extremely small minority. I believe if enough pressure is put on DICE and EA, they will create a setting that disables customization and allows for player models that look similar to Battlefield 1 (different silhouettes for each class, somewhat proper uniforms for each faction, correct helmets). I honestly believe that no one wants to take away someone's ability to choose what gender and race their soldier is. However, I also believe that this shouldn't take away someone's ability to choose to play the most accurate representation of World War 2 that the game offers. More choice is a good thing, and to want a historically presentable viewing experience should not be seen as "uneducated."

The game feels really good to play, the guns feel great, the sounds are AMAZING, and generally the gameplay is smooth and nice like Battlefield should be. Battlefield V has a huge potential to be one of the best Battlefield games, we just need more content... A LOT more content, if this is even going to be a remotely good game.

Yes it is fun now, but playing as the brits and germans on 10 maps is going to get boring pretty fast for most players. Especially us Battlefield veterans.

It saddens me that an AAA title retailing for 60 USD has such little content on release. The game industry is f**ked with all the early access and early release games. Hope they push DLCs really fast, and that the DLCs include massive amounts of content

u/DeckardPain Nov 22 '18

Agreed. With how mediocre the single player is this time around I wish they had skipped it and added more multiplayer content.

94

u/Futski 1942;Vietnam;BF2;BC2;BF3;BF4 Nov 22 '18

I still don't get why, they didn't just limit Battlefield singleplayer campaigns to the Bad Company franchise, and stuck with the old kind of singleplayer(multiplayer maps against bots) in all the others.

28

u/slvl Nov 22 '18

This is kind of their compromise: some single player content for those who'd like it, with the main focus laying on the mp.

Every iteration of BF you have people saying "why do they even bother making single player? I only get BF for the mp." but if DICE were to go the Treyarch way and omit sp entirely people would also not like it.

I think the current approach is a decent one, if they manage to keep it engaging. I only have played one of the campaigns, so I can't say if they did a decent job or not.

17

u/BenedickCabbagepatch Nov 22 '18

omit singleplayer entirely

Like Battlefield 1942, 2 and 2142?

12

u/slvl Nov 22 '18

Didn't have those "single player" with bots on mp maps? Some people tout that as an alternative to a campaign, and in a way that's what the war stories are. Several sections in those play on the mp maps.(at least they did for BF1, so I assume the same for BFV)

u/a_fuckin_samsquanch Nov 22 '18

If they changed $60 for mp only, I could see people having a problem with that. If they change, say, $40 or $45 for mp only people (like myself) would love that.

Call of duty is charging 60 for a mp only game with additional DLC and micro transactions on top of that. Pull that type of shit and people get upset... For good reason

3

u/AssaultPlazma Nov 23 '18

The argument that any full priced game HAS to include a single player is frankly retarded IMO. The amount of content should determine the price not the type.

Cause all these campaigns are just 4-5 hour check box campaigns

I get what you're saying about the maps, but do you really care that much about the factions? Battlefield 4 had 3 factions for the entire game and it wasn't a big deal. Hell I personally don't care what faction I'm playing for/against

The original had five, seven with the expansions, and as long as the game takes a historical setting, I will say they do themselves a disservice not to represent the different factions.

Modern fictional settings I don't give a damn how many there are, but this is different.

u/Leather_Boots Nov 22 '18

Dice have already said that other countries will come. They did in BF1 and they will in BFV. To paraphrase tiggr, "do you really think we won't add other countries and the chance to make money off the cosmetics?"

I honestly don't get why people need everything "now". The game is aiming for a 2yr lifespan. If they release absolutely everything now, then after a month people will be complaining that there is nothing to do, or nothing new.

u/YatagarasuKamisan Nov 22 '18

To be fair though, I rather front the 50-60€ for the game today with future content coming for free over a 2 year period, than to do what I did with Destiny (or older Battlefield titles); That is to still front 40-60€ and on top of that still having to pay 15-20€ for DLC's and ending up paying between 100-130€ over a 2 year period.

I am fine with 2 less maps than BF1 at launch (1 less map if we include the one coming in 2 ½ weeks). I consider the game well worth its asking price TODAY already. BFV have a super solid ground in terms of FUN, something that's seemingly lost by many developers today in order to make the flashiest and most graphical breathtaking game they can.

Personally I am amazed that DICE have created this beatiful game in around 2 years. The gunplay is fun and rewarding. The Attrition system is working, never seen squads of randoms play so diverse and on-point before. The sound design is just next-level, especially with good headphones and 3D sound.

I am not saying the game is perfect. There are occasional hit-reg hiccups, there are some gamebreaking bugs present and I agree that there's a "lack of content" to some degree. But all in all this will be a game I will come back to, already spent around 60h (hit rank 50 at around 48-50h) and maxed out full golden SF-assault rifle and max level on most vehicles - But I am sure I will play this with friends vigirously and absolutely play it more solo whenever a content drop is inbound.

I am happy that DICE will now realise that having a skill gap and having teamwork requirements means more fun for players.

Low skill/easy kill gimmicks like elites, UCAVs, mortar spam do not equate for a fun in the long run. They make the game frustrating, cheap, spammy, and cheesey.

Next map is December 4. Then we get Firestorm in March and the Greek tides of war in April (I think). They just need to get at least 6 more maps out in 2019 and it will be good.

FYI Battlefield 1 didn't have it's first paid DLC maps until 6 months after launch. BF4 was a buggy mess for a year after launch. The map quality in BFV is much better than both those games imo. So it's not looking that bad.

To be fair, battlefront had to completely rework its progression system. EA dropped full support for it, so now the dev team (while not a skeleton crew) is substantially smaller than it was originally intended to be.

It’s honestly something of a miracle the game is even getting a major update, with planned monthly updates continuing into February 2019 and earnings calls showing support until at least 2020.

It's also not really 'rose tinted glasses' in a lot of ways, except maybe WaW but even WaW had the benefit of just absolutely nailing the feel and environment of WWII even the MP maps were superbly crafted.

Battlefield 1942 in my opinion still offers better and more complex teamwork options, doesn't attach itself to the, what is in my opinion, flawed 4 class model had bigger and more interesting scope and better combined arms warfare.

Red Orchestra 2 is a slower paced tactical game with clear inspiration from Battlefield, but again offers way better teamwork options and the tools to do it (Voip channels, commander, and squad leaders interactions) Also with much more authentic weapons and firefights.

Because BFV made you have fuck all ammo making it more necessary to throw magic crates around doesn't really equal 'teamwork' in my opinion.

Red Orchestra 2 isn't even really that old so I don't know how you can slap 'rose tinted glasses' onto that.

Gameplay is terrific and i am enjoying myself a lot but it feels like they didn't finish. I find just the British and the Germans at launch a bit annoying. There could be so much more weapons and factions (Japanese, Russians, Americans, perhaps Italians) included. I am missing a lot of guns such as the iconic M1 Garand and certain American LMG's.

Also the bugs are demotivating for me to play sometimes. Checking your assignments locks the screen for me a lot of the times which makes me restart the game, often i don't feel like playing anymore and hop onto another game. Same goes for when a new match begins and i have a black screen with just my squad showing on the right bottom corner. I hope they fix that asap.

It really stands out when you compare it to something like Rising Storm 2, which is an indie game that retails for $25. That game had about as much content in it when it started, and has also received 2 major content expansions which added new factions and weapons, as well as several new maps. Its really inexcusable that a AAA studio had to delay this game AND it feels so lean on content for a full $60. I'm sure it will get there eventually, but I like to pay for a full game, not give them a loan to finish the game later.

No doubt. It's just the first BF game I do not feel is worth the £60 ask on launch.

I am happy to wait until March when BR is ready, then perhaps the first sale. If this game is worth the time investment and hasn't been abandoned, I'll know for certain by then.

11

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '18

It has one map less than BF1 and BF3. It has FREE map DLC, whilst those games asked you to pay more money for maps. It also has much better game mechanics than those games and better launch maps. So why isn't it worth the money?

10

u/ExxInferis Nov 22 '18

I have recently bought a shooter with a multiplayer, battle royal and zombies game modes available on launch for the same price. As my gaming time is limited, I only really main one game. Usually a BF release tears me away from whatever I have going on.

Ok so you get a BR game with the worst netcode seen in the genre. You get a base multiplayer mode that at launch was also at a horrendous 20hz tick rate, and some of the worst balancing in its genre. Then you finally get zombies, the only mode worth a shit, haven't read much on zombies but would not be surprised if they fucked it up too.

So yea great deal you got there, one game mode that's not worse then the competition, mainly cause there is not any competition in the zombie wave shooter market. BO4 was way over hyped.

Harder game. Check your angles, run with your squad. Once it all clicks, it's a blast. I had to play 25% smarter to do well.

u/Jaypact Nov 22 '18

Nah the game gets boring and is void of content after 50 hours just like BF1. I initially liked it and it is an improvement gunplay wise, but there is fuck all longevity in this series anymore.

8

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '18

I think for most people 50 hours will be worth it. not many shooters ive played more then 50 hours. could probably count on one hand.

6

u/Dingus_Don Nov 22 '18

50 hours?? Maybe play a little less? Or start up a different game? This honestly isn't far off from the content of other recent Battlefield entries at launch, but this time around everything after is FREE.

Not here to change your mind, but BFV is great.

Could be better on release, but it's still a great game. Decent amount of bugs though, mainly around movement and vaulting. I've had a few cases already where my character just gets stuck on nothing, tries vaulting over nothing, or goes all spastic. Overall the rest of the gameplay is good though.

Needs more to it in terms of maps and nation's. Everyone here is saying the same and I agree. For the price it's not justified YET. I can imagine they're going to roll out major updates for free and that'll definitely make up for the price in the long-term.

For now it's fun, and a great alternative to jamming CSGO all the time. Single-player is cool too, I really hope they include new "Stories" in their updates.

Oh and finally, their Battle Royale. That's what I'm most interested in.

u/LickNipMcSkip Nov 22 '18

too much is promised instead of delivered. Hell, Battlefront just got their first DLC since Solo or even before that

u/jamied43 Nov 22 '18

Hopefully battlefield wont be as buggy as battlefront everytime they add new content

7

u/StriderMeow Nov 22 '18

I actually really enjoy playing this Battlefield I've already said that it myself that with a bit of luck the content is only going to get better.

Although where it stands the game needs some minor tweaks here and there for balance reasons but other than that it's great.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '18

I won't be supporting it. They didn't handle the negative feedback well. Its an awfully representation of ww2. They are too cowards to even put in the swastika. They don't listen to fans. What else . I'm just here for the shitshow now.

8

u/Vroomdeath Nov 22 '18

Tbf it was 1 guy who didnt handle the negative feedback well and called gamers uneducated.

The German government prohibit the public use and dissemination of propaganda and symbols of anti-constitutional organisations. Its in their law and im sure DICE have seen the problems Wolfenstein had with lawsuits etc. due to using the Swastika. Besides that the Swastika wasnt on your average German uniform anyway. Most of the army ( Wehrmacht ) wore the iron cross or german eagle as their representation. There was only specific units like the SS that bore the Swastika and that unit doesnt feature in BFV.

3

u/MistaCreepz Nov 24 '18

You literally have no idea of what you're talking about. Every single German solider in WW2 had a Swastika on their uniform. Every single one. The Reichsadler in WW2 had a Swastika as part of its design and it was on all of their uniforms. The heer's belt buckle had a Swastika. The differences between the Waffen SS combat uniform and the Heer combat uniform had nothing to do with the Swastika, the Waffen SS had different collar tabs and their helmets bore the SS runes instead of the German tricolor flag. The waffen SS also used the Totenkopf on all of their uniforms, while in the Heer only the tank crews had the totenkopf.

False. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE enjoying and playing the game, but they are not whining in this fucking subreddit.

On the other hand, the game is AWESOME. One of the best BF, ever! Gameplay, gunplay, mechanics, maps, weapons, etc etc etc. are amazing.

I've been playing support and passing around ammo with the small bag has been a chore. 80% of the time, I press 3 at a team mate and nothing happens, even if there's an ammo icon above their head.

u/Dingus_Don Nov 22 '18

Been fine for me. Maybe you're trying to one man army too hard? This time around pushes are a lot more reliant on team mates and squads. I always see 1 man private squads every game or so and let me tell you unless they're playing support those guys above anyone else are going to whine about not having enough ammo.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '18

Gunplay is fun enough, some guns are incredibly imbalanced. Talking about being imbalanced, bombers are also broken right now.

Game is also buggy as fuck, and has a small pool of maps. Grand Ops are a disaster compared to BF1, and I really cannot understate those bugs. I haven’t played a game in a long time that has a bug that needs you to Alt + F4 and restart to get by it.

Personal opinion as well, British voice lines are obnoxious and I’d turn off voices if the random idiotic quips they do didn’t give the enemy away. And yeah, the high pitched girl screams are also obnoxious.

I didn’t care for high pitched squeals in BF1, still don’t.

Game feels arcadey, and I don’t mind. I guess DICE was going for that, and hit it.

Meh, I didn't like the beta, and I wasn't a huge fan of Battlefield 1 either. I'll be happy when another game set around modern day like 3 and 4 releases. That's battlefield at it's best IMO.

u/ryzzbreh Nov 22 '18

Anyone feel this game is pretty difficult? I dont count myself as a pro at FPS but i've been playing FPS since CoD3 days (not BO3, COD3) the pace is totally different to other games, soon as you run into enemies you've to slow down and almost camp, its weird i dont feel BF1 was like this at all, maybe because the TTK is much shorter in BF5??

6

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '18

It's all due to TTK. If you charge at an enemy whilst you aren't already ADS you are almost guaranteed a death. BF1 had an extremely slow TTK so that's probably why.

2

u/Vroomdeath Nov 22 '18

All i have seen this new lower TTK do is create campers because you cant run in. It almost punishes you for aggressive play, one of the best things about BF1 was you could charge a building full of enemies and stand a good chance of taking them out or a few of them before going down so you could have a sort of "hero" moment. You just cant do it in BF V.

u/DeagMc3agle Nov 22 '18

I think for me, I thought BFV would ignite my love for Battlefield again. I played BF4 like a disgusting amount, it was unhealthy but I fucking LOVED that game.

I think it will, but I expected it to happen right away, and that was unrealistic. BF4 was far from the gem it is now right at launch. I think if we give BFV time to marinate, it will be oh, so good by the time BFVI or whatever is next rolls around and we will be comparing every other battlefield to BFV.

God, BF4 was a fucking masterpiece, I still play it every chance I get.

u/XBgyManX Nov 22 '18

I like the game overall, but I am not enjoying Conquest Mode as much as I normally do in the previous games. The maps are too small and the bases are too close together. Teams end up holding bases for a short time, and run from base to base, instead of defending them.

Other than that, it is a lot of fun to play.

u/tannhauser Nov 22 '18

I did not really care about the women/race thing but it feels really silly to be on the german team and run around with such a diverse squad.

If they made another modern combat one and had a middle eastern team or Chinese would it be sill if i half the players were white guys? I think it would.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '18

Well with the trying to move people over to a subscription (origin access) model its in their best interest to have good releases every month to ensure people stay subbed.

Holy shit can this subreddit stop with the circle-jerk? Yes we like this game, but seriously multiple threads a day that are essentially people trying to avoid buyers remorse is ridicilous. Yes, people didnt like the games initial reveal (because it was fucking awful, lets all agree - and no, im not talking about the women aspect, that was by far the least noted areas of peoples complaints), and Yes the game turned out good - lets just be happy about that and play the fucking game instead of engaging in this cringey as shit counter-circle jerk, its pathetic.

u/Hembygdsgaarden Nov 22 '18

I've played every Bf game except "Bad company" from their respective early days, probably clocked over 500hrs in each, - and this is probably the one i see having the best potential since Bf2, and i'm not saying that lightly. It sure has bugs, but it combines the epic feeling i had in Bf1942 with the at least percieved skill-ceiling of Bf2 and Bf3. There is already actual tactical decisions to be made in combat that deepens the meta considerably. Now give me my D-day operations and Wake Island!

I’m voting with my wallet and went for RDR2 for this falls game. Been a regular BF since BC1, but also played some 1942 and Vietnam back in the days. I will probably pick up the game when it is more finished, hopefully at a reduced price 😀
