I didn't think I would be interested in a WW1 game but I'm totally on board.

That looks loving awesome. Getting in on the ground floor of this Red Baron-style dogfighting, one-hand-Mauser-cowboying from TNT-laden horseback Luftschiftfest from bug-ridden day one. Take all of my money.

TG-Chrono posted:I'm actually super pumped for the fifth Battlefield which is Battlefield 1. Going to own bones. Name is dumb but whatever, game will be better than bf5 more modern warfare. By the way, you should now all start subscribing to The Great War channel on youtube which is following WW1 week by week 100 years on, plus they have random specials on specific events/people/things as well as a short Q&A episode each week too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?TheGreatWar All videos in chronological order playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FgaL0xIazk Channel is great and I'm looking forward to some Middle East/East Africa maps and cavalry rushes or what they're covering right now on that channel in the 1916 Spring Offensive, a flooded trench map on the Eastern Front where they put machineguns in rowboats because all the trenches were full of water.

I picked it up around week 5 or so and had watched that guy doing historical videos for British Pathe when they uploaded all their footage the other year, so I knew how indepth they'd be and I liked him as a host as he is quite knowledgeable. The series gets better over time too as they get ad revenue from youtube and eventually start a pateron, so more detailed maps for events and such. I think they'll be doing on location filming later in the year as they film it all in Germany.

I've been enjoying the CS-LR4 with a FLIR scope and elephant gunning people at closer range or using the FLIR to spot sniper heads and getting them that way. It's super fun.

verbal enema posted:I mean they did good at the alt history of USA/ Russia/ China in a global conflict against eachother. Sure it was all maps located in areas of Russia/ China, no cool spillover into like an American map but maybe they will fix that. They oughta put Wake Island in Battlefield One just to gently caress with people. I hope the turn to an older era means some orchestrated music between rounds and no more of the stupid electrobass wubs. That poo poo got old real fast.

Should have had Wake Island in BF4 but have it be completely unrecognizable under piles and piles of beached ships, wrecked tanks, collapsed buildings, and crashed aircraft from every battlefield game (even 2142 gently caress it). Have the only vehicles available be skid loaders and pod launchers. I guess airboats too why the hell not. Concordat fucked around with this message at 03:43 on May 8, 2016 |

Wake was poo poo tier even by BF2 standards. It was ok in BF3 though because of squad spawning and the jets not being OP.

If new bf doesn't have good music such as that era may have produced it will be less good in a way that really matters I have faith. I really hope they learned from bf4 and hardon

Or, just make up the playable area of Wake Island as some hills surrounded by shallow lakes and mud in the Somme (or more appropriately somewhere on the Eastern Front where in the springtime all the trenches all flooded as rivers burst their banks)

You can hear the beats of the Battlefield theme in the new trailer at the very beginning (up until the guy gets clubbed upside the head), and then again at the very end (After the "Play it First on Xbox One"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7nRTF2SowQ&t=69s Signs of the theme to come?

It was the best map on bf2 because there was a lot of strategy to it, with a cappable Chinese airfield, and it was hard for the US to make landfall at all but if they did they could win by capping all the flags then bf3 changed how everything worked and made it smaller scale and easier to get onto land and it was just pointless

In my experience, which is only battlefield 3, wake island had a mobile aa spawn within line of sight of an airfield and thus was a good map. I think the most important things BF1 can do would be harvesting from hardline's qol changes such as obvious teammate produced effects (eg blue fire won't hurt you), pulling ammo from friendly supports, respawn timers visible for vehicles, and with a presumably strong focus on melee--the removal of counter knifing. Actually I'd be okay if countering existed but instead became a real back and forth struggle or simply cancelled the attack instead of reversing it, but you can't trust them not to gently caress that up. PS bring back tourettes medic

Is BF4 multiplayer cross-platform with XBone and PC? I'm having an odd time trying to find an answer to this.

Kind of makes you wonder what the medics will use in place of a defib. Morphine needles? Bandages?

I was in one game where the other team had someone as squad leader just hover a Black Hawk over the Chinese airfield point at max altitude, which was too high-angle to hit with MGs, AA, or AT rockets, and we lost it from the non-stop paratrooper dropping.

It actually sucks for land vehicles. The turn speed on the turrets is super loving slow. Also wake island has not been good since infantry got accurate weapons. Bf3 for example it was dmr spam everywhere. Bf2 there was a tap fire lmg that did cross bay work. Plus the map is a magnet for lovely snipers like dawnbreaker is to little bird spergs. I want a all bfbc map pack but I realize those maps are probably poo poo in retrospect. Or would be broken as gently caress due to the faster TTK paired with the general accuracy increase in all the weapons.

Random thought, but after using the AS VAL for a while apparently I didn't realize how often I need those 9-10 extra bullets until I don't have them.
