Kibayasu posted:I played BF2 immediately followed by 2142 a year or two ago during those couple months some crazy people got away with releasing the games for free and running multiplayer servers for them and it was shocking just bad BF2 was and how much better 2142 was. Guns you could actually reliably hit things with! Who could have imagined that would be important in a first person shooter? 2142 actually killed the series. It's up there in being the worst Battlefields released on PC along side with Hardline and V, and only sold a few hundred thousand compared to the millions Battlefield 2 and the sequels sold. After 2142, there was no Battlefield game released on PC for 4 years. I played 2142 beta, launch, and for several months afterward. The game had terrible gunplay, tons of lag, the buggiest experience that hasn't been matched in a Battlefield game since, the vehicles and guns sucked, and the map design was awful.

Kibayasu posted:I feel like a lot of that had way more to do with releasing just a year after BF2 than anything inherent to 2142 itself. Battlefield 4 released 24 months after Battlefield 3 and sold like 80-90% as much. They are basically the same game, with a few big new features to Battlefield 4 and slight difference in unlock system. Battlefield 2142 was released 16 months after Battlefield 2 and sold roughly 10% as much, and was definitely much different. The issue really stems from the fact that Battlefield 2142 was just a poorly made game.

jisforjosh posted:I remember bouncing off of 2142 rather hard because the guns in the demo/beta looked and felt like nerf guns and the in-game billboard advertising left a bad taste in my mouth. Holy crap I forgot about that. Back in the late 2000s when games were having advertising built in.  I played Planetside and have "it's called drifting" line burned into my memory.

Dead Like Rev posted:SOOOOOO It was kind of a weird system? You can hit Q and it pings basically anything and everything, Yes it seemed to also EXTREMELY briefly spot an enemy. But it more so slapped a pin down on the map in like a 3d overlay you could see that said "he's this way" And you could also use it to suggest to your team "Hey I wanna go this way" I don't think it was fully functional/working/implemented being as it was the technical test and as we've said it looked like an old as hell client (which DICE confirmed it was like a year old or more). Maybe it'll have both. If you spot an enemy but the system doesn't think you're quite aiming at them, it'll place down a ping. If it does detect you can for sure see them, it spots the player. This would also make Q spamming less common since there is a visible annoyance to your squad mates, which could get you kicked or your friends to yell at you.

PittTheElder posted: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. This is the whole reason the pilot class was created for Battlefield 1.

Fallom posted:By vote kicking your useless sniper teammates? Raskolnikov2089 posted:Snipers are hated because they drag the team down. They don't push objectives. They get maybe 5 kills a game. They take vehicles so they can fly/drive to the outer extremes of the map (that way they don't have to worry about anyone killing them as they go for sick long distance headshots), then don't even have the courtesy to drive the vehicles a few feet out of bounds so they'll respawn so someone can actually use them. So it has nothing to do with sniping, just players being bad.

Skyarb posted:You just repeated yourself. Not really. Everyone just said they didn't like snipers because they were bad at the game, as if being bad at the game is limited to sniping. Medics and support who are bad at the game are way worse. A friendly sniper off in the distance barely affects your gameplay, but a friendly medic who won't revive you? That's aggravating.

On other forums, people will post leaked Battlefield 2042 gameplay and the responses are usually negative. Am I the only idiot who thinks everything looks solid? From the gameplay, the sound, the visuals, even the characters sound great.

Inspector Hound posted:It seems a little fast, and it's just a technical test but I think people are acting like that's what they'll be installing I've heard that the leakers intentionally speed up the footage so that it doesn't get taken down as quickly. Maybe there's an in-game timer I can look at and see what speed the video is running at. Edit: Nope, no visible clocks on the screen.

Hopper posted:BR is not bad. It is just that squeezing an entirely different subgame into the main game costs resources, and even if it is another studio entirely it still costs money budgeted for the main game that gets diverted. They diverted resources away from multiplayer for over a decade into the lovely and forgettable singleplayer. I couldn't be more excited that they diverted 100% of singleplayer's resources into another multiplayer game mode. Also I've been playing Hunt: Showdown for over 3 years. The BR style game mode has immense staying power, and if it's good will make Battlefield have even more resources dedicated to it due to the increased player counts.

Kazinsal posted:Interesting thought experiment here: when will Battlefield as we know it die? CoD? Medal of Honor already ate poo poo, but the other two big AAA FPS franchises are evolving to stay current. When will they either stop receiving new releases or evolve past the point at which they’re recognizable? Before conquest we had king of the hill, capture the flag, and team death match. Those modes suck for combined arms gameplay with lots of players on a large map. Conquest was made to facilitate large scale combined arms. If Conquest ever dies, it'll be because something better came about that works well with combined arms. I don't think Battlefield will die unless a lot of horrible things happen. The fact that there's so many knockoffs and similar games and the series keeps evolving shows it has a ton of life left. Charles 1998 fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Sep 23, 2021 |

Thirsty Dog posted:The hunt isn't a battle royale. It's twelve players max, for a start, which is barely a battle. Aside from that it has very little in common with BRs like Fortnite, Apex, Pubg, Warzone, etc, which all follow the BR formula with some differences. Hunt is pretty close to a BR. It's similarities are far greater than its differences. I'm hoping Battlefield Hazard Zone will be the same. They keep on saying it's not a Butthole Royal. (I don't like the Battle Royal genre but I love Hunt).

Mordja posted:
You are hot dropped into a random area on the edge of the map, which you can't select. Instead of scavenging for weapons or supplies, you need to collect clues. So instead of starting out with no equipment, you start out with no information. You have to scavenge for information to reach the objective. You can also scavenge tons of stuff to help you out, such as health packs, traps, replacement equipment, and even guns. You can even bring in a person with almost nothing on him and deck him out with equipment you find around. You absolutely do get funneled into a smaller area, but it's not a hard requirement. 95% of people that play choose to get funneled. Every game results in the teams being widdled down until there's only one team remaining. Rarely there's more than 1 team that successfully evacs, but in over 90% of games that doesn't happen. When you actually play you use a lot of Battle Royal tactics and phrases. Being loud puts you at a major disadvantage since players can ambush you from almost any angle on the wide open map, third partying, resources such as ammunition and equipment being in short supply, health doesn't fully regenerate, team mates being knocked out and having to spectate until their friends revive them or being permanently knocked out of the game, and probably more poo poo that makes it similar to most other BRs.

Frog Act posted:I've watched a bunch of videos of this and it really looks just like Battlefield 4, only with slightly newer graphics. It's just so lame that they decided to do a future game and then set it in such a near-future era it's basically indistinguishable from earlier iterations of the modern warfare battlefield games, instead of doing something distinctive and cool like 2142 with all it's unique modes, vehicles, weapons, etc. What am I missing? Are there any actual futuristic things that I just didn't pick up on in trailers? Any games that aren't contemporary war have a lame setting. Battlefield 2, BC2, 3, and 4 are the best games of the series for very good reason.
