Battlefield

sounds like a return to form what the fuck is wrong with you OP what part of the wording do you find off?

Since Assault would compliment yourself with a sweet of grenades and fast heals a carbine for sweeping corridors / rooms it makes sense its a primary. The fact that you can use snipers but not additional asset is versatility

I'm fine with this.

I disliked that any class could equip any gadget in 2042 before the class rework.
I didn't mind being able to equip whichever weapon I wanted.

I didn't inherently have an issue with the concept of universal weapons in 2042, like I could see where it could potentially be fun, but I dunno.

Finals made classes MORE unique and specialized while still giving you enough leeway to make "builds" and I find that game more interesting, not that Finals' gameplay mechanics are tenable for Battlefield, that game thrives on not even attempting to approach realism.

welp it was a fun ride until it lasted

2042 2. There's no way anyone is going to buy this outside of a couple Redditors.

Carbines originally served a purpose: To be used on horseback
They're just shitier riffles, generally. Anything a carbine can do, a bullpup can do better.

lol, it's just another way to maximise skin profits.

Why are they like this? It's very fucking clear that 95% of bf player are fine with DICE just making a bf3/bf4 clone. They have a golden opportunity to make a safe game guaranteed to make money and get no player backlash. Most developers would kill for an opportunity like this. All they had to do was pay some guys to create some new gun and vehicle models, make some new maps and than plaster some EEUU/China/Russia flags on top. Why do thay refuse to be normal? Why are they so fucking retarded?

I'd just wager to say most dice devs don't know how to make a modern battlefield game, they want to do something "new" but that "new" is just crap borrowed from games that do not mesh with what battlefield used to be

they don't want the same audience, they want growth.

to make a safe game guaranteed to make money

LINE MUST GO UUUUUUUUUUUUUUP
Can't make that without the most invasive live service system imaginable.

for what reason do carbines exist as a separate weapon class from ARs?

nothing
it's there for the sake of bloat and "weapon variety"
same shit applies for the gunsmith system they're copying there's gonna be the best attachment setup for a gun while ignoring the rest of other attachments

Why are they like this? It's very fucking clear that 95% of bf player are fine with DICE just making a bf3/bf4 clone

I genuinely sort of believe that that's a "you think you do, but you don't" moment.
I mean, it could sell for one game kinda like COD WW2 did but they would still probably have to try and innovate in some kind of way after that. Even COD has been falling off a bit lately.

Remember when they completely changer V's system just to cater to the idea of "newbies are not staying so they must be having a bad time :(".
Its that, they want the game to be so easily approachable for the most dumbest retards. They are 100% aware that losers want to main the meta weapon some streamer made a shitty engagementbait video on, they want to cater to that.
It also increases chances of selling skins, rather then only assault players caring about an assault only weapon, its every could are about all guns because everyone can use them.

Battlefield games have always had the issue of there being this real dedicated group of autists that love the games but EA desperately wants to cater to more then just them whilst at the same time not angering them and it just doesn't work. Like how they want microtransactions but also can't make things too silly, which makes them boring and no one buys them.

a bf3/bf4 clone

Even if DICE pitched this to EA (they wouldn't) they wouldn't get funding for it. EA doesn't want BF3/4 money, they want MW19/Warzone money. They want live service money. So you'll take your MW19 Ground War clone with more vehicles which exists to subsidize the development of the BR mode which is the real game and you'll fucking like it.

This honestly makes the game like CoD. All I'm doing is just changing a perk and a gadget. How I play is hardly changed beyond which way I through the gadget.

for what it's worth I think a lot of the leadership that obsessively crunches statistics like that (the reasoning they gave for ruining TTK) went to Embark, their balance patches are always prefaced with some "our statistics say" shit

womxn

meme factions

heroes

classes indistinguishable from one another

cod movement

laserbeam gunplay

no server browser

no class-locked weapons

and no money from me

Female soldiers on their own aren't woke.
Female soldiers that preach and are just poster children for libshit talking points is woke.

I find myself wanting to play a casual shooter these days for some reason. The last ones I played were Black Ops 2 and Battlefield 4 more than 10 years ago. BO6 looks terrible how is this shaping up?

Finally a retvrn to the form

I got invited to the server stress that supposedly starts in 20 minutes but still no codes in my mail

I honestly think BF1's weapons were the best, in terms of the different types.
Each weapon's category had a place and a purpose and you could do NOTHING about it beyond change the ads zoom. It gave them distinct purposes and reasons to like and hate. When will devs realize that less options are often better.

people choose to play Assault just to play with the best guns, but they do not care about healing teammates

surely if we give away ARs to everyone they will start fulfilling their class purpose

I can't believe how naive DICE and retards agreeing with them are

how is this shaping up?

Not great. Game seems to be closer to bf2042 than any other bf game. It won't be a disaster, but it's not going to be good either. Just more boring AAA live service slop made to apeal to a extreamely broad audience.

You would think every faggot using the PP-29 or the Rorsch after all these years would give the devs a hint that not locking classes was a bad idea to begin with. Classic DICE moment.

Oh shit I got my Steam key!
Let's go I can finally trash this game now

Shame. What I'm craving really is BO2 on PS5. I gave my PS3 to my cousin and I think he sold it at some point.

They can't sell blueprints on store like CoD if weapons weren't customizable.

shit appeals only to retards which are unable to comprehend how and why do classes work and competitive goytubers like enders, who want to create the ultimate meta class with no weaknesses and farm k/d even more

jesus christ it sounds like shit

Are Swigger devs the new red flag for games now? Just like you don't play any MMO made by Koreans, you ignore any game made by Swedes. I swear every single dev studio has terrible communication or a arrogant attitude towards their players.

How is this worse than BF3 or 4, which locked weapons to classes?
Now you have access to those weapons with every class, but they're not as good as when those classes use them?

not as good as when those classes use them?

lol, I'm sure 3 less mags for AEK will definitely prevent it from being OP

Not as good

HUGE overexaggerating. Its like one tiny thing different. Like snipers can hold breath longer or tiny reload speed improvements. They aren't game changing buffs that make you think you're missing out on something if you don't play them.
The extra weapons in 4 and 3 usually sucked as they either were only applicable to a super niche range or they were just so below average all round that using the default was better. Its not "every class gets this one extra pull of okayish niche guns" its every class gets every single gun.

Now every class will play 95% the same because weapons define class as much as gadgets do.

BF3/4 system was a bandaid. We need hard class locked weapons like BF1/V.

I'm just imagining how this is actually going to work

Squad of Medic, Support, Recon*2

One recon is spotting

One recon is sniping

the Medic and Support are also sniping

Infinite Res and Ammo

Hasn't it been fully confirmed there's no server browser? It was honestly the worst thing about 2042

there's still no mention of it apart from server browser for portal

The only thing I cared about in BF3 was stabbing people and taking Dog Tags
They somehow fucked this up in BF4

I just want one gun that has a bayonet, bayonet charging people was the most fun shit ever

fun is toxic, chud.

Female soldiers on their own aren't woke.

Yes they are.

True, Libya was woke and problematic...

Gaddafi only had female guards to fuck them, they're useless as soldiers you retard.

''Service'' games are quite literally a growing malignant tumor and videogame publishers are that uncle who just wont stop smoking even though hes been hospitalised
they will never stop, they will quite seriously risk another crash if it means just getting whiff of pic related

No they're not.

but are they hot tho?

It's been over since 3

we don't want the bulk of the class definition to come from weapons alone

Hah yeah, imagine a shooting game that defined its classes by the guns they can use
How silly that would be

I don't get it. Are newfags whining about classes?

battlefield should be free from women soldiers, other games can cater to that audience

You WILL get farmed by the meta and you WILL like it!

A collection of deliberate misrepresentations
"led into battle" does NOT mean "fought in the ranks with arms in hand", it means literally "led the army as it marched". Battlefield commanders would of course remain in the rear, to observe the course of battle and pass orders down the network of officers
Nobody denies that female figures of authority, such as queens, existed, and that these had supreme authority over military forces. This is not the same as women wearing body armour carrying rifles and engaging in direct combat.
You COULD have talked about how many roles with significant contingents of women, such as logistics, saw frequent combat in places like afghanistan against ambushes etc., which is more to the point, though it doesn't disprove it - these are a general exception, and generally combat soldiers are male, and the general perception of "the soldier" is a male combat soldier, and especially in a video game, which centers on combat, adding female soldiers is an incongruity.

it's the same shit as 2042
there are no weapon restrictions for the classes
instead there are meme "bonuses" if you're using a specific gun category for a specific class to encourage people to use specific guns with their respective class instead of locking them

You mean the 12 trannies still playing 2042?
