Battlefield V

I know there's tons of threads on games and Xbox usernames, but is anyone planning on getting this? Playing as a team in BF really allows you to wreck opponents. Comes out between now and 11/20 depending on what version you got. Battle Royale mode won't be out until spring however but will be rad.

I have high hopes that they will turn around the franchise after the atrocity that was BF1.

I played the BF5 beta, to me its the same as BF1, BF4 etc so if you're into that, get the game for sure. I'm not a huge fan of the gameplay in BF(your crosshair slows down when you go over someone's head, etc) but that's just my opinion.

As for the BR, saying "it will be rad" is a bit of a leap.

I say its a leap because so far, BR has been very challenging to master, let alone execute with an acceptable amount of bugs and making it accessible to the masses. Everyone thought COD was gonna nail it, but they've been having tons of server issues, PUBG has constant issues (still think its the best BR right now) and fortnite is basically the only game that has been continuously successful and gameplay isn't really the reason why either, Epic is just printing money with in-game transactions.

Will BF5 create a good BR? I wouldn't bet on it, but have no idea what its going to be like.

Haha that's about the only think you can count on with battlefield. I used to do that but then wasted my money on BF1 and was highly disappointed.

I ended up playing the whole campaign, ok. Then played 1 day of multi-player and gave up cuz it was so bad. They've changed a lot of things from BF1 including removing random bullet deviation which is awful. I just read today that there will be no premium mode so that's good as that was another $60 you'd have to spend to keep playing the game. They removed in game purchases to unlock weapons (good cuz I've always hated that people could just skip progression in games like cod and have the best guns while you're out struggling the hard way).

I would read up on the game if you don't know anything about it cuz there's a lot of new and changed things this year. The battle royale mode has promise cuz dice is know for having large maps and being able to manage them. The delayed date allows them extra time to figure bugs out. They successfully (not initially) have games with 64 v 64 with no bugs. This mode will be their biggest map yet, which is saying a lot, complete with vehicles. I can't stand PUBG cuz it's so buggy. Cod had no hope because they're used to small maps with small numbers of players.

I played the beta, and while it wasn't great, it was better than bf1 imo. I believe they changed some things from the beta to now because of complaints.

did the release date get pushed back, you mean? my opinion is that that's fine. better a delayed game than an unfinished one pushed out to make a deadline IMO

If you pay a monthly subscription at the max tier, you got the game November 9th. If you payed for the basic yearly tier, you got it for 10 hours on November 9th. If you bought the deluxe edition, you got the game November 15. If you got the standard edition, you get the game November 20.

So basically, the more money you pay, the earlier you get the game. Unless you are on PS4, which means you have to wait til the 15th at earliest.

How was BF1 an atrocity? If anything, Hardline was the atrocity. BF1 was amazing in many ways imo. I haven't ordered BFV yet and I doubt I will for awhile, the beta was meh, and it seems they're trying to continue the same historically sentimental feel that BF1 was built on, which is stale to me. I loved BF1 for about 18 months, then one day I simply couldn't play it anymore. I ended up buying BF4 about 6 months ago and haven't stopped playing that. Bought Red Dead 2 and have no desire to buy BFV anytime soon. I get my gunplay fix from BF4 (the modern guns are far more fun than in BF1) Shit I'll probably buy BF3 next...

Although I thought BF1 kinda sucked...... Hardline was a TOTAL atrocity. Fuck that game.

But what do I know? I'm currently a sucker for any Battle Royale that comes out which isn't fortnite. When this drops as a Battle Royale I guarantee I'll buy it.

If you've never played the prior battlefield games until bf1 I understand your point. Bf1 however as cool as parts were, was a major letdown in many ways. I've played bf4 for the past two years because I disliked bf1 so bad.

Picking up my copy tomorrow. Super excited. Played the beta and it is way different than BF1 imo. The decrease/elimination of grenade spam and no more gas grenades is a huge change. Also the spotting has been modified greatly. I have an embarrassing amount of hours on BF1 and loved it, but I think the new game is going to be great as well.

Also dgaf about battle royale. If, when it drops, its enjoyable awsome, but I definitely am not purchasinng BFV for battle royale

i'm a huge history fan and ww2 is insanely interesting. how it was shaped, how it played out, and how it formed the current geopolitical world. ive spent literally countless hours reading accounts from every possible source and working and volunteering with veterans

...so go try to get offended somewhere else, dickhead!

WW2 era BR, could be cool, will probably end up being like blackout, popular for a month and then it will be "just a game". So far from gameplay i've seen, I'm not buying it.
