It was really refreshing to see this unique and immersive new gamemode from EA. The specialist-based squad design will allow for some classic battle field moments while pushing the genre forward into uncharted territory. With its attention to detail and responsive gunplay I, for one, cannot wait to see what sick kills I can rack up with my gamer friends while racing towards extract!

I totally agree, it’s great they have a new game mode. I just hope they have a good balancing system for it otherwise there will be squads of friends who are really good together vs randomly placed squads. The difference would likely be huge

Did anyone notice that there were class definitions above the heads of the guys in hazard zone and one guy had an ammo pouch hanging off the belt?



That and the blue/red lights and markers on the specialists in both the trailer and the promo pics, stuff that really would have been nice to have a week ago.

Doubt DICE was that fast, guess the build we got really was pretty old and basic target differentiation just didn't make it in at that point yet.

A) Just wasn't implemented yet

B) It was implemented but not working

C) It was implemented but commented out in the code because somehow it crashed the server and every client connected to it and bricked your xbox

Take your pick

Yeah!
This is probably what the specialists were mainly designed for. Still don't see why they couldn't just have distinct factions in All Out Warfare, though.

While it does look interesting, I'm still going to wait to see if the manage to sort out mouse controls and the godawful gunplay (and also remove specialists from All Out Warfare. Do it :dice:!)

I've not been moved by the beta into pre-ordering, and will probably wait a few weeks for the most :dice: issues to be resolved. To be fair with what little I got to experience in those 2 days it felt like so many features had been removed in comparison to even BF3 that you wonder if many have been stripped only to be added back in in paid DLC, or how many little things weren't there because "it was a beta" or "it was disabled". It was a mis-step to do the open beta build before being feature complete.

I will for sure be lurking in thread during launch day however, goon opinion from the test is so skewed.

For posters who were saying they enjoyed spending a fair amount of time spotting using the recon specialist drone; were you aware :dice: had reintroduced "C4 MAVs" from old BF4 before they patched it out? I spent an enjoyable afternoon delivering C5 to snipers in remote holes from 300m away using that neat "new" feature. Made me giggle like an idiot every time.

No paid DLC, for better or worse. It'll be a battle pass type system.

Shotgun/Gustav is the only meta. If you have less than a 2KDR you have to bring the ammo box to not get banned from Discord.

Also 2142 is S tier.

I don't know if you guys remember this but Dice had a machine learning application to censor bad words in BF:V. At some point about two-three years ago it picked up my name as a bad word and I haven't been able to type in the chat box since.

Oh boy. They can't scramble teams or autobalance sides, nor can they actually automoderate, but they CAN invent an algorithm that makes it impossible to talk about points in the point control game.

I really wonder why the official servers took a gigantic step backwards in 5.

If only there was some way people could pay money to host their own servers and do their own moderation. Such an invention would be revolutionary to gaming.

Oh sure, but I'm surprised at how little of those there are. You also don't have to go to a community server to have things like scramble and autobalance in 4 an 1.

It does not.

Dedicated/rental servers are dead in Battlefield. What DICE has said is that there are community servers via portal, ie the same Community Games system thay BFV uses, tweaked a bit to have persistent ban lists but no way to assign moderators.
