Bro do you even Conquest?
I haven’t got to try the beta yet because of work but don’t like the way they changed conquest.
I’ll give my thoughts:
Pros
- Feels a lot like Bad Company 2, my favorite Battlefield game of all time.
- Weapons are fun and unique. In general, all the kits are fun to play with although I will say that the Support class feels like it’s missing something.
- Best looking FPS. I have a 970 and I don’t think I’ve seen a greater looking shooter. The sounds are also amazing. The animations, the dialogue, everything.
- Gun on gun fights are great.
- The change in destruction is a lot better this time. I hated it in Battlefield 4 and it’s not complete destruction like it was in BC2 where a destroyed building or landscape changed the way you approached the map entirely, but it has a more controlled destruction system where you can still destroy walls, but not obliterate a house just so a capture point is exposed to be constantly bombed.
- Weather system is not gimmicky. It just adds another layer to the gameplay. I thought it was going to grow old but sandstorms are a well made part of the game. Same with horses.
Cons
- Conquest is a hit or miss. It’s always been like that for me in Battlefield games but I find myself playing Rush most of the time.
- Tanks are ABSURD. They are way too centralizing this time around but a developer did say to enjoy it while it lasts because they won’t be as strong.
- Support class is weak and no one plays them.
- Climbing is really wonky at times.
- Too many snipers but I think that this time around its a result of the map design. Defending on Rush points A and B are just built for sniping.
- I hate prone and will always hate prone.
What the fuck are you doing running around the map for? Capture a checkpoint and defend it.
I dunno how, but got matched against some top level people today.
Scores were retarded: 54-4, 36-6, 40-7, shit like that. No tank whoring, everyone was on the ground. C Flag was retarded! Shit was flying everyone, it’s like the whole map gathered there.
Also had a Draw game earlier: 175-175, LoL!
C Flag is where everything happens
Been trying hard to like this game. Ive been playing medic as thats the most useful class for me. The weapons are frustrating youd think a semi auto ridle would have more power but no ppl can run away after 4 shots still |:
I really dont feel like im in world war 1 though, this feels like im just playing normal battlefield with the difference being shittier weapons. Everything i disliked about bf3 and 4 is still present. I will say holding down flags is more fun than trying to find people but holding down a flag far from the action is still fkn lame
And fuck rush
damn I was really excited for this game because I thought Dice was gonna return to the Vietnam/BFBC2 formula, but, according to you guys, its more reminiscent of the latest Battlefield games. Guess I’m going to pass on this one.
Vietnam was amazing id THROW money at that ported to ps4
Uh…not sure where you’re getting this from but this game feels more like Bad Company 2 than BF3 and BF4 ever did. Bad Company 2’s success came from the overall team vibe with the relationship between classes and your squad as a whole. In other words, when you played a medic, you FELT like a medic as opposed to some random gun wielder who just happens to have medkits. Pushing objectives as a team is as great as Battlefield has ever been since BC2. They went back and brought some of the things that made BC2 such a beloved game while making a WWI game. This isn’t just Battlefield with a WWI skin. It’s a WWI Battlefield game and it’s amazing.
Okay ill throw my money at this then, i was disgusted with battlefield post-Vietnam
Just play the beta, it’s free, and make up your own mind…
Beta is very pretty but buggy. There should have been more than JUST Sinai Desert for maps.
Its kinda growing on me but it still doesnt feel like what i imagine when i think ww1. Just like bf4 with shitty weapons/vehicles.
I got a tank and litrly spent the whole match taking objectives and running people over. No rocket launchers to worry about
I want to like the game
the sinai map is TOO big
assault is only useful for anti tank even then it’s still weak
their guns are fucking useless
All the guns feel weak tho
compared to the rest of the guns
the assault class’ guns feel especially weak
The patch this morning unlocked all weapons in the beta.
Also unlocked all mods for vehicles and got rid of conquest timer.
Tho
When i was playing scout class i spawned in w a scopeless bolt action rifle that was 1-shotting ppl in the chest. I died and respawned and i had the normal lame sniper rifle. I didnt pick up any of the special weapons. Any idea what happened
Did you spawn on a horse? Cavalry is it’s own class, no matter what class you chose at first. Same for mechanics that spawn in the driver seat of vehicles.
Also, there is the anti tank laucher, that replaces the rocket launcher, for assault.
One thing that bugs me is why don’t AT mines remain after death… it was like that in all BF games. Maybe they going to change it for release.
