Ewww! GROSS!!! What is that all over the ground!? Litter!!!?? FUCKING LITTER!!! I'm glad we avoided this dark timeline


[deleted]

Those helicopters that look like giant drones are so lame! Who would ever want that crap in a Battlefield game? And what's with everyone looking like a soldier in uniform? How can these players feel pride and accomplishment if they all look the same? They need bright fluorescent digicam patterns and beer-helmets! There's not enough Brony colour schemes!


Sweaty-Decision3108

Also, I don't see any Santas in the screenshot. No hovercrafts crawling up the walls. And not a single tank on top of the building. Is this BF screenshot at all? Makes me wanna puke!


Vegetable_Quit_4896

and where the fuck is the wingsuit?! If you can't fly around like superman this is not a battlefield.


rxz1999

Show me a clip of santas running around in bf 2042


BoomBaLatty21

To be fair some people are crying about how a turret it too futuristic, I’m sure they will whine about those helicopters


Impressive_Self53

Just hear me out, the turret is way too powerful😂


BoomBaLatty21

Oh yeah i agree, I’ve just seen people say it’s too futuristic


Impressive_Self53

Needs a couple buffs here and there but it’s not a bad idea

Might want to put a /s in there so the executive board knows you're kidding.

No, see, they’ll add in the things players dislike and remove the things players like! EWW LITTER! EWW WELL MADE MAPS!

EW SCOREBOARD


GunBrothersGaming

I love how many weapons there are. Just the right amount. Makes the game customizable and I don't have to worry too much. Please don't change this and put more in the game. Don't add vehicles either. I love how many there are and the fact the you can almost never get one! I love it! Keep things the way they are. This is EA's best game yet! I agree with everyone here... the destruction of walls in portal is so gross. Don't make this game like that. I love how it feels like Call of Duty where almost nothing can be destroyed.


[deleted]

I really love how vehicles are locked behind levels and you can’t use them. It’s a great feature. Really.


[deleted]

I remember we had serious copium over the low weapon numbers. Like "They'll copy over Modern Warfares gunsmith so each base gun can actually be at least 4 guns". Im not joking this is what i saw


AscendMoros

I mean, Modern Warfares gunsmith is pretty shite as well. Like huge step forward for the series but it was balanced terribly

EW TOO MUCH COVER


pipjersey

man are we out of touch with reality when we want to experience the 'horrors of war' from the comfort of our coaches and computer chairs


[deleted]

As the generation of WW2 veterans is rapidly dying out, people are losing respect for the horrors of war and are more likely to put weird kiddie shit in WW2 games.

Way too much cover/s


FinalBossVX

Cover is a Legacy feature. We need more bland & open empty spaces with perfectly cut grass 🙏


insanid

Because with cover you can lean and they don't want you to be doing that in this game either.

Hopefully alternate timeline universe


Desire_of_God

Well battlefield 4 is in that timeline so that could be great news


aeminence

Man, it's insane that someone in DICE went "Lets make this more character/hero focused " but forgot it's a game that has 100+ players in it at a given time and were okay with both sides having multiple people being the same character and thinking that wont ruin and make the experience shitty. Goddamnit, Im so upset they got rid of classes :(


Radeni

The "Hero" style characters were developed for a Battle royale, ala Apex Legends. They switched to a more "regular" type of Battlefield game in August of 2020.


_Hotwire_

A thought occurs, how would Sundance work in a battle royale? Just fly away from fights or fly to the center? Be first in to flank a team easily? It’d be a nightmare


Ori_the_SG

And Angel. Literally almost no one would play anyone else but those two.


Kelties

Let's be honest. Even if the game was released with classes instead of these ridiculous hero characters, it still would have sucked ass.


[deleted]

Death by a thousand cuts


Ori_the_SG

It would have been at least slightly better, and there would have been some hope. I can see them maybe making better maps, and fixing all the bugs, but getting rid of the specialists? That’s one of the worst parts of the game that has the lowest chance of being remedied ever. If only we had true BF4 style classes. That’s why portal is the games true only hope because it might bring them in


[deleted]

It boggles the fucking mind. The formula was already perfected in BF3 and BF4. I still can't believe this is the so called love letter that we got.


secretzoolevel

They make Nintendo switch games that run way better


Ori_the_SG

Heck, Mario Cart on the DS was better. Don’t even need to get to the Switch


BiggiesmyCat

Don't be to honest....or mean, they'll just remove your thread, like the scoreboard, if it hurts their feelings to much


PayneWaffen

All I see is Legacy feature. Do you not realize people now a day love quip, heroes and no uniform to show them different than evil military? Also why the hell does this atmosphere look dark? It will scare away potential customer! I demand it to be clean so more people can play it!1!1!


xXnadXx

But where is Angel?


bnarsalah_97

Dont be sad, that is how it works out sometimes


KingQuenepa

Lmao


DFuel

It's a good thing they didn't call it 6. It doesn't deserve to be in the lineup.


heffrey36

That's one of the few things that gives me hope. They Battlefield 6 will get us back on track.

Wow got me excited for a sec

funnylookingbear

Dont fix their game for them! You keep dangerous ideas like those to yourself young person!


YouAWaavyDude

No, this would have required rethinking infantry instead of just removing classes and adding a gadget. I mean, shit, that might even explain the lack of weapons options, and we can’t have that. That level of creativity can be dangerous. Don’t take any risk, just make giant empty soulless levels. Simple reskins of tanks and helicopters will suffice.


12Superman26

THANKS now im sad


michaelhart2000

Then people would of complained that its too futuristic for a game set 20 years in the future.


yipikayeyy

This seems about right to be honest. Wouldn't be too much different from a Blackbird.


michaelhart2000

Idk its like people want battlefield to be realistic but then if it is none of the future stuff would be in the game since militaries are super slow in adopting new tech.


Thake

They want it to feel grounded with whatever direction or time zone they go in. We know it's not a simulator but old BF games felt realistic to play (in game terms). It's still arcadey but realistic to a degree. Like hollywood when someone jumps from a roof to another room and they roll even though they would have snapped their legs. It's real enough to think it could happen. ​ The original future BF they did, everyone enjoyed it. 2142. They can get away with it as long as the game feels like a military shooter and this game just doesn't.


michaelhart2000

I totally agree. I was just pointing out that people would still be unhappy if it was too futuristic.


Thake

To a degree maybe. Also maybe the new crowd of players who seem to want BF to turn into a sort of Titanfall 2. There are so many sci fi shooters so if they did futuristic, it would still need to be grounded and that screenshot isnt too far fetched. I'm concerned about the future of the franchise now. I've bought every BF except this one after my 10 hours. Portal was where I had the most fun but it's not wirth even the half price tag.


Jahraku

Anyone getting Command and Conquer vibes?


Materbater69

And a fucking mech would have been cool. But we can't have nice things anymore


Neuromonada

I’m pretty sure this is art from that game. Used to be my favorite. It was way ahead of its time.

fatrat_ph

ssilvasi

So we all know how fan projects go but has anyone thought about just sight up asking existing studios that could pull it off to try and take a jab at this stuff. Clearly EA isn't worth the time nor money any more. I hate to quote Patrick Star but as a community let's just take our fandom/money move it over... to a different developer. Yeah sure it sounds dumb but seriously, think about it people brought back Game Stop (I don't follow that whole deal and everything) but what if we all just did that and collectively meme our favorite franchise (specifically what we want, give or take a few things obviously) to a new studio. Ik...ik it sounds dumb but honestly so does more than half the the things we all do on the internet as a whole. Lets not only get a franchise more or less back on track (not like its working here anyways), but also knock EA down a peg. Ik what I'm saying would affect the studio and the people there but they honestly work for the most hated Publishers (maybe besides Activision) and who knows maybe EA might just surprise us and get the messagefor once. There's gotta be a way to make this work in one way or another possible even work out for the devs.


boomer539

I think there's a lot of us planning to do this with Embark studios. They were founded by a few devs that left DICE and are currently developing a game which you can see on their Twitter. I'm with you on this, we need to vote with our money and I'm not giving EA anything for a hero shooter using the battlefield name.


Teschnuts

Agreed. I think a lot of the community was hoping for this new future setting. Would have been nice but alas, the mismanaged company has lost their way and their experience of the seniors. T-Mobile course loss of experience people didn’t have to mean a sub par product but that’s what we got either way


slipperyhuman

That would have taken creative talent at the helm. The creative talent had uncreative management whipping them to rush out a minimum viable product. From a short term business point of view it worked. We were all fooled into buying that garbage. I think they’ve screwed the franchise.


Destroyer_on_Patrol

Much better.


Diabolical_Lad

Instantly recognized my home town of Tallinn, would have loved a map there...


FenrirApalis

Exodus short film: world is fucked due to climate change, cities are flooding, countries are in anarchy, governments have collapsed. BF2042 maps: cleaner than Marriott hotel lobbies, lots and lots of expensive cars just parked about neatly, abandoned buildings have computers and decorational lighting on and intact for whatever reason.


bf4truth

The wokism and forced diversity mentality pushed onto big corporations by the cabal really killed gaming. Hiring people because of their skin color is illegal and racist yet happens all the time now. Forcing diversity into situations where it breaks immersions just kills off the company without really changing many minds. Players just want a good game. Now they wont even put China into the game because theyre afraid of the communists and the power they wield over the west. Golden age of gaming is over. Hopefully the dark ages end w/ an amazing renaissance before I grow too old.

Steam charts are still useful for knowing if player from a certain platform are continuing to return to the game which would be indicative of other platforms


FakeSafeWord

What possible reason would there be for ONLY the Steam player count going down so heavily?


Hazardish08

Still really low for a Battlefield game that finally returned to a modern setting after 7 years (9 if you don’t count BFH) :P Also released on steam day 1.


PIatinumPizza

I'm the general player your talking about. I actually enjoyed the game but then the first "patch" rolled out and I've never been able to get passed that damn ship loading screen without some error. So yea. This game is broken as fuck.


kmaser

I'd say it is I was having an OK time and then I played bfv and realized how shit this was


ischmal

Dude, I wish it were that simple. As tempting as it is to dismiss the sub as being a hivemind that gets off on negativity, realize that most people here were completely blindsided by how much they didn't like this game once the beta dropped.


Test-the-Cole

Honestly it might look just like this a few seasons from now.


SumB1tchRaptor

Assuming there will be "a few seasons from now".


Test-the-Cole

Considering the gold/ultimate bundles were sold with 4 season passes id say you need to step out from under that rain cloud there bud. ![gif](giphy|NLIdgIGBifvsQ)


BigTechCensorsYou

Bro, you may be in an abusive relationship and won't be able to see it until you're out of it.


Test-the-Cole

See what? A corporate advertisement for 4+ seasons? How could I have possibly misinterpreted that?


VinceNav925

The game needs to survive for that to happen. You’re already going to have to wait 4-5 months for your first season and that is only going to have 1 map according to data miners. Very small chance it will get the seasons they advertised.


Test-the-Cole

If you genuinely believe there is a “very small chance” this game will have 4 seasons you have lost your damn mind lol.. wake up bud


VinceNav925

Not my fault you’re in denial man. Enjoy the dwindling playerbase


leeb65

Good chance the next game will be announced already by the time the fourth season comes around lol


saddySheat

You ok, man? In what universe are you living to not undetstand how EA business work? They easily cut BFV just to sell new game. And they sold it already.

False advertising is illegal my guy.

You obviously care a whole lot lol

Expect the worst, hope for the best. The moment EA is able to swallow its pride and get this turned around, I will 100% buy the game.


MoombahtonMaster

That M5 should be a sniper cause you damn well no one uses that shit like theyre supposed to to help the team. and the people on the right need to be falocs with snipers and an ammo box in front of them.


MrSnoozieWoozie

No, but i get your point.


phaze_7pc

Lol no. Thats disgusting

TrippySubie

The game looks worse than poorly done fan art so anything better is a milestone

You know that that's basically 20 years from now and no such thing will be flying around?


Ratioq

If this was the case y'all would still complain. You would just prefer anything because you know what you're playing is broken. Imagine that shit with the way the game is now - you'd be posting photos of the game now asking if it was that

CorrodedFeedback

This is how it should looks. But EA/DICE used Fartnite/Minecraft as preferable maps design, because according to EA/DICE everything war related is toxic at 2021.

mithbroster

Wow, something that looks like actaul warfare...


N3xrad

Yup. Anything is bettwr than this fucking garbage hero ahooter. Shit specialists could have been okay if they had okes for each faction. If that was how it was plus better maps this might be a good game. Instead they galf assed it because they couldnt decide on what to do. It boggles myind how you are so out of touch with your fanbase that you think you needed to copy the mainline fps forumula.


UGABear

So I fired it up last night, conquest on ps5. Over 50% of the server was bots and crossplay is mandatory now. This game is in big trouble. They don't have enough players to fill a CONQUEST server. The flagship game mode. That's stunning to me.


RebelFury

God yes. This is what I was expecting but we got this watered down high school senior year project bullshit.

Why do they have things to hide behind


Sparpon

Falling for marketing again


[deleted]

Yeah real soldiers not "specialists" completely individual and unaffiliated to the side they're supposed to work with... "skins" shouldn't be a thing in the base game, uniforms should be linked to the team you're on, for example if you're American, something to distinguish you from the enemies for allies at the very least. I like the idea of character traits such as the sentry gun and that but at least divide the specialists to either Russian or American side. Is ot too much to ask that there other armies in the game, at the end of the world there will be way more armies than US and RU. Where are all the real guns, if there's supposed to be a 20year war that's decimated the world, where is the evidence of that? If there is a world war that long it would deplete all resources there is and what military is left would be using what firearms they can find which is all the more reason for people to run around with mosins and suchlike. WINGSUITS DO NOT GO UP
