PittTheElder posted:I fully expect 100% of players to be running grappling hook You’d think, but the zip line in Hardline didn’t see a huge amount of action, at least not much that was useful. I guess it comes down to what the meta will be - if some other gadget happens to be more useful, then that’s that.

Basically the only time you saw it used was when it was a pickup on the map.

I hope eventually every bit of BF1942 ends up in the Portal so we can just outright play 1942 on the new Frostbite engine

The United States posted:It suffered from Hardline's problem of making every single thing a gadget but only letting you pick 2 gadgets so lol if you actually wanted to use that. The only time I even remember it being used well was on that Arizona trailer park map, and you could shoot it down from a hill into an open motel room door. That was a smooth operation.

Boiled down, this is how it works. Its capitalism, so the only goal of any project is profit. The only way to profit is to copy whats popular, or just concede to it. It was CoD for the longest, now BRs. Battlefield style was always second, so theres no profit in trying to be second best to second best. Same reason phones are all fuckin trash because apple keeps stifling innovation, theres no incentive for a company to really push the limits when the mass public are just gonna look at whatever they come up with and go "well its not an iphone".

I'd prefer a delay to a fully broken game that could drat the game to the grave before people give it a good chance. They got lucky with BF4, though that was luckily fun as hell even with the server crashes. I just got my first new computer since getting my first proper gaming rig for BF3, so my body is ready.

while i wouldnt be surprised at a delay this rumor seems to stem from the lack of a beta date and nothing else, so hopefully it's just a fake

I do kinda wanna say the whole radio silence is DICE over-correcting (as they do) from how they handled BFV where they just wouldn't shut up about it and that whole mess, but we'll see by the 22nd I guess.

A couple weeks delay would be hilarious as I recall that BFV was also delayed a couple of weeks and was still an unfun broken piece of poo poo at launch. I dunno where he got his dates from, but this is the author of that delay rumour article: https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1434237031077621760

I don’t remember BFV being broken at launch just generally bad design decisions. What was wrong with it?
