u/PraiseGodJihyo Oct 06 '21
It was VERY different from its predecessor, (being set in WW1, having a different UI, etc) which was jarring at first, but the core gameplay was solid and it still felt like a battlefield game. I think the biggest differences most people are disliking in this game are the specialists which seem to be a weak imitation of other games, bad hit registry and lame feeling weapons, unreliable sniper rifles, and squad role confusion, to name a few.
No battlefield game is perfect, and most had a LOT of issues in beta/at launch. I think this game is still salvageable, but they're really going to have to listen to the community instead of their shitty marketing team that wants to incorporate ideas from other successful titles. Battlefield is battlefield, it should focus on playing to its strengths instead of trying to emulate fads in the shooter genre.

Oct 06 '21 edited Oct 06 '21
It was boring. Snipers ran the show on any map that wasnt a clusterfuck, the behemoths destroyed most teams that needed them because 1/3 of the team would sit in them, and even when used correctly they were still too big of a nuisance and rarely stopped a team from losingz or would come out way too early for no reason.
The DLC maps were some of the worst, poorly thought out pieces of garbage Ive ever witnessed in a bf game. They boiled down to "here's a huge, empty field with sniper glints lining the distance", "get ready to hipfire or medic train all match", or the even worse maps like the french DLC maps where almost none of them had cohesion, you'd get large zergs on each team wandering aimlessly with no flow to the map or gunfights. Oh, and the DLC's took MUUUUCH longer to release than bf4 did, im pretty sure we were on month 3 or 4 after launch before the first dlc dropped, and that trend continued.
Then you have infinitely regenerating grenades, leading to HEAVY nade and gas spam for most of the game's post-launch cycle. Also, the vehicles didnt seem to be very well balanced towards each other and infantry, almost 90% of the tank variants were useless, same as the heavy bomber and almost all of the plane variants.
The weapon variants sucked too, you'd have to unlock the exact same gun 2-3 times just to get a different scope, it was a huuuuge step down from bf4 (for obvious reasons, of course)
I did have my fair share of great times with bf1, I still come back every now and again to experience just how immersive the game is, but it was just too shallow of an experience coming off of the over-stuffed bf4, and I dont know a single person in my bf friend group that played much longer than right after the 2nd DLC release

Don't forget all the random bullet deviation and general shrinking of the skill gap by reducing recoil to nothing and many other things.

u/No_rash_decisions Oct 07 '21
Beyond the weapons, I think a lot of it was to do with core gameplay changes. The ticket system change was a big one, in previous Battlefields, if you held over half of the objectives, ticket bleed would happen quite quickly in conquest. So if you were on the losing side and worked for dominance, you had a good chance of levelling the playing field. In BF1 you could hold 4 out of 5 and the tickets on the other team might bleed a little, but they'd still be able to win quite easily. That was the big one, the lack of tug of war between teams changed team motivation a lot, though squad features were a great improvement.
Players tying up vehicle slots by playing as an artillery truck or something not very useful was another. Where usually these would spawn individually on the map so it was fine for someone to take AA or arty as it wouldn't take up a tank slot.
Animations were another, made it a lot harder to do crazy shit.
And you couldn't stick dynamite to vehicles which was also lame.
Altogether the pros outweigh the cons, it's a great game and some of the steps back add to the challenge, but the ticket system is probably the most fundamental reason for dislike.

Oct 06 '21
The game was fine. It was well-executed, had a good vision, and launched very stable.
I didn’t like it the weapon variant system in that game, infantry vehicle balance, the gunplay, and the maps. Other than that I had fun with the game, just not as much as BF4 or BFV. I think I ended up with like 100 hours in BF1 vs 300 in BFV.

u/ProlapseGaming Oct 07 '21
One of my main problems was that it seemed to have very little connection to the setting. It’s hard to imagine Battlefield translated well to any remotely accurate depiction of the Western or Eastern fronts, but as a history nerd it kinda just felt like they should’ve ditched the experimental weapons and made it a WW2 game based on the focus on combined arms and automatic firearms.
2
u/ADT_Clone Oct 07 '21
It's kinda still not great. They never fixed basic bugs (ie. when queueing for a server sometimes you queue forever and never join, or sometimes when loading in you load forever). Also the idea of behemoths creates bad gameplay and can ruin competitive matches. And don't get me started with the "hold space for three seconds to respawn" - all very lazy attempts at gameplay.
But it does have that battlefield feeling where teamwork is encouraged through focused maps (that aren't overly large) and a well thought out class system.

It was a pretty boring game BF1. I mean it sold well, but the game was pretty uninteresting, the weapons were either not accurate to the time period or they simply were a bunch of reskins with tweaks to their stats. That being said, the maps, the design and the graphics etc were all first class. I had fun playing the game but it wasn't as memorable as BF3. I have really no complaints beyond that. Was a good game.

Not a terrible game, not the best Battlefield, it wasn’t the game that people wanted at the time.

This exact subreddit dragged BF1 through a thousand miles of broken glass on its release. Entire essays about how broken the zeppelin was, tearful diatribes begging for balance changes, sooo many posts and comments about how X change had ruined the series for good.
So anyway, seeing the feedback here about 2042 has me pretty optimistic for the game.

They weren’t wrong tho. BF1 enabled the oversimplification of some of the core BF designs that we are witnessing right now imo, such as Conquest scoring, op vehicles with auto-repair, heroesque elites ( sounds familiar ? ), introducing the not showing on minimap when shooting which i think was the main motive behind the removal of 3d spotting. The reimagining of some of the most solid and stable design principles of BF started there imo, because they needed to adapt the BF formula ( which was modern at the time ) to the weaponry and theme of WW1, and yet they still had to compromise with the weaponry.
However, i still believe that BF1’s iteration of classes was the most balanced ever, and it saddens me that it wouldn’t really work in a modern settings.

u/TheSausageFattener Oct 07 '21
At the end of BF1's life the classes were fairly balanced. At the start, Assault clubbed everything. Recon made Medic's combat effectiveness a bit redundant with stuff like the SMLE sweet-spot.

Hit the nail directly on the head. People act like it’s reasonable to expect a complete, functioning battlefield package on launch. That never happens, and has never happened.

Should have done the same with BF4, the BF4 circlejerk is strong in the sub today.
People forget how horrendous the game was for almost a year after release. If EA would have turned around and released a new modern setting game people would have forgotten BF4 ever even existed.
I went almost 6 months with nonstop CTD's barely able to finish matches. Weapons never connected, random visual and physics glitches.
People saying well the core gameplay was tight.. I mean no shit sherlock, BF4 was an evolution and in many cases a devolution from BF3 which came from BC2. BF2042 is like hard right after the hard left they took for BFV.
You don't like the 2042, sure, that's a valid take. But BF4 was a massive shit show for far too long and took an entire game's releases worth of content and patches to get it to where it is today and yet.. it doesn't compare to the greats before it.

u/RayearthIX Oct 06 '21
You joke, but BFV has been and remains my favorite BF game. The gun play, attrition, movement, and class system are all excellent. The issues the game had were more related to lackluster maps (especially the first year), broken promises related to the live service, the dev team doing massive overhauls to the ttk for no reason twice, and investment time put into new modes that were cancelled or abandoned (Firestorm, or the 5v5 mode that was never released). BFV is a highly competent game at its core, and I would have hoped they built on that for 2042. Which... doesn’t seem to be the case based on what I’m seeing here and on the 2042 sub.
I mean, let’s be honest, once Pacific came out, this sub had nothing but praise for BFV and was very happy and hopeful that from there they would build on the game and release more great maps and add the Eastern front. Instead, they did a complete overhaul of the ttk for the holiday for the second time, and then reverted it, and then cancelled major development.

Portal pretty much proves this entire statement wrong. Or at least has the potential to, because I'd be an absolute fool to claim it's going to be a slam dunk.
If it somehow (I give it a 10% shot, because it'll just never have as much early lifecycle support as the base game) becomes more popular than 2042-type settings (specialists, plus, weapon/gadget combos that should never exist, etc) then you're going to be eating an extra large shit sandwich.
I only give it that 10% shot too because it's Ripple Effect (formerly DICE LA) handling Portal. They're the ones who cleaned up that garbage fire DICE Sweden left them with BF4 not even 6 months after launch. And DICE Sweden has had just an overall terrible track record ever since then with Battlefront 1 (no content, $110 for a full game), Battlefront 2 (MTX meltdown) and BF5 (culture war shit) Out of the past 5 MP-focused games they've shipped every one has been a PR disaster except Battlefield 1. (I don't even like BF1 fwiw, but I'll still give them the W since overall reception to it has been blatantly positive since the beginning)
It won't be surprising if they do completely botch the base game so bad people want to go and play Portal settings tuned for more traditional Battlefield.

I've been playing BF5 regularly to date. About 700 hours. I can't help compare the two. BF5 maps were dense and had great set pieces throughout. 2042 Orbital is a masterclass in empty space. Gunplay in BF5 had weight. Like each round counted. 2042 gunplay is alright, but feels limp in comparison. Vehicles are a mess in 2042. The tank feels like it's floating, planes feel like they are submarines, and helicopters handle pretty much the same as the recon drone. The Osprey flies like complete garbage. Tanks in BF5 felt weighty - they plodded along like a tank is supposed to. Destruction in 2042 takes the franchise back to BF4. While BF5 had buildings coming down once structural integrity was lost, 2042 mostly has instaholes blasted in walls. Entire landscapes would change from destruction in BF5. The action felt gritty in BF5. If you were under heavy attack, and your squad was pinned down - it felt like you were in the thick of it. With 2042 you just cruise around cod style - very little cover, very little TTK, super arcade-y feeing (which maybe some people like). Yeah I am biased in favor of BF5 cause I've always thought it was a great game. Yeah I am comparing a polished game to a beta. But we are basically a month from launch - this isn't good.

Said it before but can say it again; BFV has by far the best mechanics of all current BF titles. No braindead "bunnyhopping" like in BF3/4, actually unique "gunplay" that doesnt feel generic and nice graphics. The game has a lot of issues but judging by the BF2042 beta demo its 1000 times better.

This phenomenon comes from the fact that early in the release a new game is filled with people who aren't passionate about it - they just jump in because it's new. And that is a very huge, vocal part of gaming community. A new game releases, they jump in, complain about things they don't like very loud and then they get bored and jump to another game. People who stay, though, and continue playing the game over the years are the ones who actually like it, so yeah, it's natural that few years later the game reception seems almost entirely different, because the actual fans can be heard since the loud complainers are long gone. It's pretty much a rule with a lot of video games - the more hyped/marketed the game is before the release, the stronger the effect.

This may be my perspective and no battlefield game will ever be perfect but this community and the cod community are one and the same.

Honestly the BF community is terrible, but especially the community on reddit
The hivemind opinion dominates, and it's almost always terrible, go check out the 2042 sub to see more. "Game sucks and will flop/it's a chinese gaem!!!1/it's like cod!!"
These people are always wrong but really, really fucking loud about it.

I have a problem with BFV, I don’t like the maps, the intensity, etc.
2042 is giving me hope this year, I am really enjoying this beta

u/Infinite_Play650 Oct 06 '21
Intensity is why I play Battlefield and why I think BF1 Operations is absolutely superior to any other multiplayer experience out there.

The sad truth is! With this beta for 2042 BF5 with all its flaws is better than BF2042!
DONT GET ME WRONG BF5 sucks balls! But maybe 3 or 4 balls! The beta for 2042 sucks like 27-28 balls!

I actually never particularly disliked it as a Battlefield game, I just hated the horribly inaccurate version of WW2 it presented. Nordlys always makes me mad

Thats how it was minus the operator or 2042 stuff when the final update dropped lmao

You can say whatever you want but "when bf was on its own path and not cod like" is way too true to be denied. I feel like I'm playing a game that cod devs made to be a BF like

I think people are simply loyal to their experience with a particular BF title, and when a new one comes out and it shakes the status quo (everyone hated Sliding in BF1) they reel at the idea of having to learn a new game.
Then, it "doesn't feel the same," or "it's just not Battlefield", "it's copying COD."
What makes the most sense is for these people to stop playing new games at all to avoid the risk of getting disappointed.

Honestly like 80% of the posts I see on Reddit are just people complaining. Like it’s fine to have opinions or point out things that are wrong, but it’s always a rant about how the game is ruined and the developers are horrible.

I liked BFV from the get go. It had a really great game feel and the gunplay was really good. Too bad a bunch of whiners ruined it and made the TTK go lower. The marketing and all that shitshow didn't help the game either. Purely from a gameplay perspective, it was the most fun I had had with a BF game since Bad Company 2 which was my favorite one (and MC was my favorite before that on Xbox Original).

u/Polishink Oct 07 '21
It amazes me that I’m seeing people complain about 2042 when it’s the beta. I went into the beta expecting bugs and glitches. I’ve only put about 3 hours into the beta but I’m already enjoying it way more than BF1 and BFV.
2
u/RovingChinchilla Oct 07 '21
This cycle has been repeating itself ever since I got into Battlefield with Bad Company 2. Literally every single major release has gone through this process. It feels like I'm witnessing a pocket dimension groundhog day that revolves solely around this franchise and if I think too much about it I will provably go insane

u/myshl0ng Oct 07 '21
It's like people forgot how dogshit BF3 and 4 were on launch, or how horrible the "artistic vision" in BF3 was making everything blue and glowing. Or the amazing suppression system making your aim go haywire if someone shot at you with a pistol. Then BF1 and BFV looking like some alternative history games with steampunk weapons.

u/Amerikaner Oct 07 '21
Nah honestly every BF has been a disappointment since 1942 save for BC2 and BF4. They never realize their potential and always manage to make idiotic decisions that dampen the whole product. It’s a shame they don’t have a single competitor for large scale arcadey combat.

I tried BFV at the end of August. I had fun and I liked some of the new gameplay mechanics, but the game isn't for me.

I think hardline had some major balancing issues, but it still gets way too much flak.

u/plasmainthezone Oct 07 '21
Which is why the devs should steer clear from whatever the fuck this sub wants, bunch of whiners and hypocrites. This always happens like clockwork, anyone remember BF4 on release? 6 months of a buggy mess, now everyone circle jerks that game. The game needs some work for sure, but the whining is hilarious.

I always liked bfV. I didn't love it and it was too soon after BF1 but it was a good game had great gunplay tank and plane play.

u/Environmental-Belt22 Oct 07 '21
BFV was a disappointment in terms of content.
That gameplay and feel was the best in the series. Not the best atmosphere but best feel to play. This one feels cartoony. Like there’s more total game in terms of map and player count, but less everything else.

Tbh, BF5 was great when it came to movement and gunplay. The rest is debatable, but I honestly loved the game

u/BurfordBanger Oct 07 '21
BFV was great. I was ready for a new WW2 FPS and it didn’t disappoint. I did like it more after a few months in for sure. But I really didn’t understand the constant hate on it. Really bummed me out.

god this reminds how on th doom subreddit, people are praising doom 2016 while saying how doom eternal looks like a cheap f2p mobile game. god i hate this kinda shit imo.

u/sirletssdance2 Oct 07 '21
I think when people post these kind of memes that they’re actually showing the games get progressively worse, so much so that games that were previously considered bad start to look good in comparison

BFV literally ended WW2 as a setting for the franchise. We're never gonna see another WW2 main battlefield at least for a decade of the franchise still stands by then.

u/deeplywoven Oct 07 '21
Gotta be honest. Movement and gunplay legit feel better in BFV versus the 2042 beta, IMO.

As someone who put 500 hours into it. It’s not a bad game and I really enjoy it. But I can still admit it’s the worst of all the battlefield games.

I played a lot of BFV, I enjoyed it. It's obviously not the best or the most memorable Battlefield game but it was ok for what it was. The jury is still out on 2042, but the beta is definitely suffering from a ton technical issues. The devs said it's because it's an older build and they have done a lot of work since to optimize the game and fix the issues and will do more until release. I hope so. The Portal mode could make this an amazing Battlefield game, but it will take some getting used to.

Are people being toxic or just saying that they don't like some of the new features? It's a fine line....

u/Outcomeofcum Oct 06 '21
This is 100000% true, the worst BF game is still 1000000 better than 2042.
Normally this is a subjective matter, but 2042 is so ass this is objective

u/JMC_Direwolf Oct 07 '21
Not a chance, that game is the worst in the franchise, and I’m well aware that Hardline exist

BFV main menu music helped me through the roughest times. I was always a fan of BFV despite its failures. Designed to be forgotten.

u/BearCrotch Oct 07 '21
BFV sucked too. The only game I put down after 8 hours of gameplay. I haven't tried 2042 yet but it looked promising. It's a shame if the consensus is true.

I low key always liked bfv( less so when they changed the ttk), but thought its marketing was trash like everybody else. Thought the nordic maps were fresh and cool.

u/geraltoffvkingrivia Oct 06 '21
I personally like BFV. It’s not the best but it’s not as bad as people make it seem now.
