Leave me alone, dad, I'm with my friends!


I had a lot of fun with BF1. I hope whatever this next one is called is fun. Like BF1942 fun. It won't be

Maybe portal will eventually have every 1942 map and item and things will be magical

I wonder if they have a specific version of wake island in mind to remix. You know we are gonna get one.

So stop having classes. Just have everyone be a medic/sniper/engineer/death robot whenever they need.

I cancelled my pre-order as this looks more and more just like BF4 (which was fun) with a little more. I'll see what people think on release.

I’d rather Battlefield go away from CoD and not toward it honestly, from a design standpoint.

Bigger=better has really hosed up a lot of shooters. BC2 had the perfect balance, and dice pretends they don’t understand that. Hell, maybe they don’t.

BC2 could and did often turn to a complete stalemate on some maps due to being able to turn everything into the surface of the moon

The best thing about BC2 was that you couldn't go prone

Choppers at least target soft and hard targets, and can be shot down with RPG’s.

I think BC2 did not even have a lock on ability outside the homing dart?

Planes are an important part of Battlefield but they should be slow, vulnerable, and be forced to take off from an airfield

:geno: Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

I especially love it when somebody spawns into a jet instantly on round start, rides it across the map, bails out to camp on top of a building, and the jet slowly sails down to a landing to be captured by the other team.

Oh God I almost forgot about the airdrop land mine spec on the Pacific planes. Being able to booby trap enemy plane spawns to never be threatened as a plane was such a dumb but impressive troll

Well back then you could friendly fire your own vehicles so if someone else got in a plane before you, you knew what to do

With 128 player servers maybe they get five jets going on each team so there's some turnover

e or at least make all the jets seat two

Jets should remain in the game because seeing jets rip it overhead while dumping flares and missiles and poo poo in the sky looks awesome from the ground.

HOWEVER, jets should have limited direct impact on ground forces. Let jets job be to kill helicopters and vehicles and poo poo but do basically nothing to infantry would be ideal.

Have jets in the game but with no guns, missiles, or bombs.

My controversial opinion is that I'm 100% okay with jets just loving murdering me out of the blue if I could do the same to them if they overfly me. Like if I could just ambush them instantly knock them out of the sky for the crime of being alive. Instead of what normally happens which is they casually pop flares and fly off laughing, probably without even changing course.

Helicopters in general are like several orders of magnitude more of a pain than jets. The only people most skylords are a threat to are other skylords. You see the occasional jet savant, but they’re pretty uncommon in my experience.

Every 5 kills without a death a littlebird or jet pilot gets, they are autoejected (into OOB / the sun).

Yea. And like I don't even really mind it so much with the Attack Heli, like they should be slightly less survivable but they have never completely dominated the entire map like I routinely saw scout helis do in BF4. The combo of countermeasures defeating all threats (rather than one type of guidance), on-board repair crews, and raw speed just made it impossible to defeat them even with multiple MANPAD equipped infantry.

Do this and make countermeasures not 100% guaranteed. Even if they're 99% effective if there's anti-air on the map I'll absolutely take the air-shooty weapon just to add my roll of the dice to everyone else telling the skygod to gently caress off.

The pre-nerf Mi-28 in BF2 :corsair: could run the entire map unless the other team had a crew on the Cobra who were better with the TV missile. BF2 also had the bomber jets with TV missiles on the second seat and the huge bomb salvos on the pilot seat. Honestly they should bring that back, popping tanks from 1000ft up with a guided missile was loving cool
