Yeah wtf? What kind of masochist actually wants to play Atacama?

Harvest Day, Kharg, Bazaar, Seine Crossing, Panama Canal, Nelson Bay and Port Valdez made my "please remake" list.

Also I know it was a stupid, spread out map, but I loved El Alamein and voted for it.

I selected a bunch out of everything, but including El Alamein, Operation Flaming Dart, Daqing Oilfields, Valley Run, Arica Harbour, both Presas and Alta, Kharg, Seine, and a few others.

But what do I suspect we'll get? Wake, Karkand, something from 3 and maybe something from BC/Vietnam.

Bad Company owns and DICE doesn't even realize how much it owns :smith:

Bad Company owns because:

The story parts are basically wacky hijinks, and aren't trying to be serious drama.
No jets.
Fewer weapons and an unlock system that isn't tedious.
The kits are actually distinct from each other, which bush wookies excepted seemed to promote teamwork better than everyone being able to roll: Carbine/Shotgun, Pistol, Grenades with the only difference being the class gadgets.

That's not to say there aren't problems, but it feels like BF3 and 4 fixed the wrong things.

You could counter-snipe snipers with engineer guns, or even with rocker launchers if you wanted.

I don't even think I need to go into more detail than that.

It's a *lot* harder to be an unkillable solo badass.

In BF3/BC2, I could easily take points by myself. Everyone was spread over the map so at most you'd have to kill 3-4 people at a time.

Now if I'm trying to defend/attack by myself, I often run into groups of 6-8 people. Tanking? 32 people on the other team means at least 4-5 guys with SMAW/RPG/JAVs will be taking shots at you at the same time.

It's a lot more unforgiving if you don't work well with your team. My playstyle was frequently "f you all, I'm going my own way", which worked well on 24 player maps. Now it just gets me killed a lot.


Quoting old me. I was so innocent, so naive. 64 player Battlefield is just as easy, just don't try to take points. Conquest is only for farming kills.

You're not allowed to crumble unless I say so.
Must be Euro severs or something but about 8 times out of 10 I get into a decent game where everyone plays pretty seriously. Of course you can't avoid joining a steamrolled sniper "defender" team but overall they seem to take it more seriously over there? Any euro goons care to comment?

I more or less think this is exactly what is going to happen. And all of them will be night maps because the BF community should never be left in control of any decisions about this franchise ever.

Except for when they say gently caress hardline because gently caress hardline.

Wake Island remakes have been done to death, I would much prefer Battle of Britain or Market Garden.

Coral Sea would be great too if you could actually sink the carriers. The 1943 version in '09 was so inferior, DICE removed the carrier sinking objective and insta-killed pilots upon ejecting, so you couldn't conduct fun rescue missions to pick up stranded people in the bomber any more, in fact couldn't even walk around on land.

here's some Final Stand thoughts:
TDM maps are a camping crapfest, and appear to be designed to encourage a camping crapfest.
Conquest maps are pretty drat fun, except for the one that doesn't have a snowmobile, because the snowmobile is awesome. Especially on Whiteout.
Railgun is kind of neat, but the brief times I got a chance to use it, I got killed from across the map by the tank I was shooting at, and missed the rest of the time. Needs practice I guess, good way to get an anti-tank option if you're not playing Engineer.
Decoy + C4 is good fun, there's always someone that comes around sniffing for tags, and then BOOM.
Target Finder... liking it so far in smaller maps (Vanilla TDM), but the jury is still out. Works ok on a DMR, not as useful on the MTAR.
Accipiter... got it once, didn't have a chance to figure out how to work it before I either ran out of battery or it got shot down.

Heck yea, bruh! It's been too long since I shotmans with people who know what they are doing (aka Goons).

I played a couple of rounds last night. :aaaaa: Going from 360 to the Bone is INSANE. 360 was SO lovely in comparison. :vince: Literally every aspect of the game is better, from mechanics to graphics and sound.

That was bad but to be fair every map in vanilla BF3 had something dumb like that. Or it was Firestorm and the entire thing was dumb like that.

BF:BC 2 had one of the best quotes from a game ever after that satellite came down and the Sweetwater said something like 'that was the coolest thing I ever saw'.

Think he also had a Hoth quote I really liked.

I was bummed that story line hasn't completed. That was the last BF game I enjoyed the single player. I have yet to bother to finish BF4's story.

Right now is a great time to play too. So many really bad pubbies. I find myself getting surprised by 2 or 3 guys and winning the exchange when I should really have lost. Just make sure you aren't on the pubby team, cause redfire and I lost a round 600 or so to 0 despite getting about 20 kills in 10 minutes.

I was already getting sick of that server when you showed up, I was on the worst pub team vs a lot of level 130+ autists. I saw a 136, I didn't know it went that high.

I've been seeing a lot of players with funky dog tags using bow+arrow on ps4, but I've been out of the game for a few months so they may have always been there.
Also I probably see a lot because I tend to get killed a lot riding around trying to do sick jumps on my snowmobile.
