So when can we expect the beta keys to be mailed out? And do you think you'll be able to pre-load the beta?

So is there any actual incentive to be a dumbass and preorder? I'll probably end up getting it and all the dlc anyway, so if it's cheaper I might as well. But if it's just skins or something I don't really care myself.

It depends, if youre going to get it from cdkeys.com or gmg or whatever then you might save a bit as i notice they seem to be cheaper there the earlier you buy them. Bf1 was 29.99 on cdkeys.com when it first came on there, and now its 35. I imagine it might go up more by release. If youre buying direct from origin, you can sign up for EA access for 5 bucks whenever you like and then buy the game and dlc for like 15 bucks off

Seems like just skins and maybe some battle packs (lol)? I'm tempted because seems like the Harlem Hell fighter skins could inspire some nice hate mail but I dunno

DICE changes the game to make it so you have to cap points and he bitches about it. I like that he's bitching about cap points overbalanced while tankwhoring every point on the map with his crew of like five keeping him alive.

LampkinsMateSteve posted:I had Premium day 1 for both BF3 and BF4. These are the two main games that I have been playing since October 2011, and I'm still playing five years later. So that's 200 bucks for five years and 928+1009 hours of playtime. "If you wanna maximize your points all you have to do, is get on the flag, and capture that point." ~ Levelcap How exactly is this a bad thing. His argument seems to be that people will just swarm the flag instead of trying to remove people from the flag since its often times easier to just get as many dudes as possible on target. To me its one less thing that Joe "Call of Duty" has to think about. If they're on the objective and still refusing to give me a god drat medic bag I'm going to be way less mad than if they were off loving about and also not giving me a medic bag. TLDR: This change forces objective play, what is Levelcap smoking?

IceOrb posted:"If you wanna maximize your points all you have to do, is get on the flag, and capture that point." ~ Levelcap I mean I can totally see where this could be a problem. If you put too much of an emphasis on capturing points people are going to be less likely to want to defend them. A similar situation happened in Planetside 2, and that wound up with giant balls of players roaming the map capturing points completely unopposed. That was sort of already normal behavior, but it was way worse than normal. I think it would be better if they gave players a score income for capturing and holding points, rather than just a base bonus for capturing a point. That'd give some incentive to go back and defend instead of a constant ring around the rosey. On the other hand, snowballs are pretty great for pubstomping since you have a reliable way of finding people to shoot.

Take the bad with the good I suppose. Personally I'd rather a group of pubs mindlessly play the objective because at least then you know they are doing something useful. Might lead to an end of the pub sniper chillin off on the far edges of the map. (hahahahhaha yeah no.)

If a specific flag grants an extra tank or some such to your team, then there's your incentive to defend it. And if you're pointwhoring, then I'm sure you'll get plenty of defence points for killing enemies on your point. But yeah. It's a sad day for those wanting to boast that their K/D rate alone gave them victory.

So is this looking like it will play more like BF4 or Battlefront? With vehicles being power ups rather than tactical options.

So let me get this straight -France and Russia are DLC and America is one of the main base factions -tanks act exactly like APCs in BF4 -Recon is the only class that has bolt action rifles and every other class has automatic weapons that were either failed prototypes or nonexistent -every gun still has a jillion ugly useless attachments -these 'ultra vehicles' or whatever that are just stationary turrets like the ATATs in the new Battlefront -biplanes have high power anti-infantry/tank weapons -gas and artillery is just a minor gameplay aspect -no Commander -they're going to do that loving 'just a handful of different maps chopped up into segments for different modes' thing from Battlefront -dying and respawning doesn't affect tickets -everyone has walkie talkies I wasn't expecting a DICE take on Verdun, or even much realism at all, but it looks to me like the WWI setting everyone is hyped up for is actually just useless window dressing that doesn't affect the gameplay at all, and the game is just shaping up to be BF4 with even less maps and features. Really good poo poo 👏👏👏

Tab8715 posted:Was I the only one whom thoroughly enjoyed the obliteration game mode in BF4? This is from a couple pages back, but hell no. Obliteration is one of my favorite game modes of any game. I played it about a third of the time (surprised it wasn't more tbh, just going off of Battelog). Obliteration is just like american football. I wish it was in BF1 (or something very like it).

How DARE you make a list of things about this game that aren't what people were/are pretending it would be. It will be totally perfect in every way, an absolute masterpiece and the last game I will ever need to buy. until two weeks after it actually comes out, and then the same goons will pretend they always knew it was going to be a disappointment in a bunch of ways

I just want a new BF1942 and this is the closest I'm getting, I don't even care if it's a BF4 reskin. It's the fact that it's not modern war that tickles my nethers.

1942 and later 2142 were some of the best times gaming with friends that I've ever had, but I'm anxiously awaiting a Vietnam remake. If they don't include the option of blasting Surfin' Bird from your scooter while weaving through the streets of a Vietnamese city as your buddy takes pot shots at tanks with his AK from the backseat then I won't want to live on this planet anymore.

I just kind of treat it like a period shooter  . I'm iffy on the fact that 3/4 of the classes use auto/semi weapons, but it's a chance for a game to use weapons that we haven't seen a million times in every other game. I want to pop people with a Model 8 and you're going to have to fight me to take it away.What I want to see is an early Cold War Battlefield, set around post-WW2 up to maybe the early '60s. Would like to handle guns like the EM-2/AR-10/SPIW and drive around M103s and Conquerors, or wilder tanks like the Object 279 while still having 1940s/'50s aesthetics.

It's entirely likely that Battlefield 4 will end up being the best game developed by DICE this decade and the thought of that makes me mother loving sick. How on earth did they lose their talent?

How on earth did they lose their talent? Battlefield hardline was not made by DICE. So "losing their talent" in this case would just mean the game they made right after the one you consider their best one was not as good, which is hardly damning However I agree with most of your list. It feels like the game could be anywhere between fantastic and awful, and I do not like the way they are forcing a ton of automatic weapons back in the game because there was a scribble of some silly-looking assault rifle-like thing in somebody's notebook that was dubiously dated 1918. Although it wouldn't be the first time they've done something similar. In battlefield 2, US army soldiers could deploy with a shotgun that was never actually produced and IIRC had like 30 janky prototypes ever made. that one didn't really bother me though because it wasn't losing a chance to make the most of the setting, unlike BF1's silly prototype guns.

JackFrag's mentioned too that it may result in big groups of players continually going from Point-to-Point but never or never encountering each other. Not exactly a Battlefield. Personally, I don't see a need to give points to defenders - it's not like the entire team should be roaming. I do feel teams should lose points for being reckless when throwing away spawns carelessly.
