BOOING! BOOING!
Grimey Drawer
OK, so first impression:

idiotic poo poo carried over from BF4:
- lens flare is even worse than in BF4
- the idiots chose to leave in the "psh psh psh" sound of DMRs that everybody hated so much it was removed from BF4
- spawn mechanics are just as hosed as in BF4 (spawn in between baddies, spawn under fire)

other than that:
- graphics seem like a step down from BF4
- dust bowl conquest is a sniperfest
- that car driving mode is literally steal car drive in circles until you get blown up, rinse repeat
- the maps look really sterile, just as if they reduced debris etc. to gain some performance
- gunplay may be good, but this is CS/COD twitch shooting now


Standing by my not buying it except for bargain bin, but even that is less certain now

I saw lots of people banned today from a server. Are people cheating in this game already? I never got BF4 ,so I don't know how bad it was.

Anyone know if getting locked out of Team Setup is a bug or a feature? I've always had the habit of surfing the squads until I found some that weren't useless but 2/3 servers I played on I'd inevitably be paired off with some mouth breathing sniper who never got within 100 meters of an enemy flag.

yea, this does feel very twitchy. TTK is too low. Hot wire can be fun for a while.

You can change your team, its on the top menu with everything else.

Did someone say hotwire was amazing? Cause it is. Hotwire should be a $20 DLC but you know, business is business.

Thanks. Yeah ok so I took your advice and started tinkering with settings. The game ended or the server closed and it booted me out and lost my settings. Is this really the best they can do for a front-end? How awkward.

The interface is horrible. They keep pushing their battlelog shitfest, which means the game keeps closing and opening to switch servers, and you run into problems like you just have.

Frankly EA is doing so much poo poo wrong I don't get why people support their games. The core of the game is good, everything around it is crap. A fast paced action shooter, where movement is clunkier than ArmA games? Horrible interface? poo poo netcode with some amazing desync at low ping levels? Sign me up! :downs:

The core of the game is great, it's just too bad it had to be an EA franchise. Also, massive shilling going on at twitch and youtube, where internet personalities are being paid to say how much a great game this is. Oh and they can't discuss bugs/glitches. Journalism!

People decided this game would be poo poo the second they heard about it and while the proof is right in front of them they'd rather be right than enjoy themselves.

I am still collecting screencaps of all the "I will never buy this game it is garbage." posts so that when they inevitably cave in, I can remind them that they would never be playing the game.

I hate this 'buy' system they've come up with, they've built everything on top of the old BF4 lvl up system on how to unlock things, but now you have to buy everything once it's been unlocked. This on top of the fact there are no more universal guns anymore so if you want to buy a gun or attachment for a class you pretty much have to buy it twice if you want us it for both sides. :cripes:

So, you can equip weapons of the opposite faction by using the battlelog loadout system.

Ice to see you!

I wouldn't say the game is great, I mean it's got good elements but it's just kinda ok from the 3-4 hours I've put into it so far.

Heist just ain't that fun, maybe it's the Bank level that's the problem but I doubt it. And yeah, the unlock system is somehow even more convoluted this time around which just boggles my mind. Hotwire is pretty fun to blast around in. Conquest is Conquest but without tanks/LAVs/massive attack boats so it just feels like a watered down version of previous installments there. Also disappointing that there's just not that much in the way of destruction ala the BC2 heydays of old, or hell even BF3/4 which is a shame. Sure, there's nice bits of microdestruction and "Levelution" is what it is but sometimes I just want to blow a 3-storey building to smithereens.

It seems well made with some nice little touches here and there but certainly not something I'm gonna buy day of release, maybe a year down the line when the price drops and if there's still people playing.

all i have to go on for this game is a beta rather than the full game and the releases of bf3 and bf4 which were pretty much abortions

i don't have any intentions on buying this game, but if the game comes out and it ends up being good then i'll be happy to pick it up

i just feel kind of burnt by the bf4 DLC that i bought a season pass for
