I tried it and had a pretty good time, of course biggest complaint was getting sniped all the time and the damn medics not doing their jobs, but having the any player can revive you and medic pull you is pretty great. Honestly haven’t had fun with a shooter like this in a while.
It’s a shame that EA has their big fat face on it but otherwise, yeah, I liked it.
Requires secure boot so I can’t play it without risking messing up my main Linux installation. Even then it’s a lot of hassle to play one game that’s $90 CAD.
No I did not try the beta because it won’t support Linux.
I have a group of friends that I played the beta with. We’re all gonna buy it Friday if there aren’t any glaring issues popping up in Steam reviews.
The beta was just a ton of fun. It felt like an actual BF game, and not some slop designed to steal players from other games, that appeals to no one.
Nah. I want Battlefield, not CoD. They’ve been getting worse since 3 (arguably 4 if you count how good it was when they were done fixing it years later).
I am going to let it get past the inevitable day one patch and then drop the cash. The beta felt like the good old days of BF:BC2 / BF3
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
To me, a major point of irritation from the last couple of Battlefields was the fact that most players had no interest in playing more tactically. Squad leaders never giving orders, players not following orders, dudes just hanging in tanks for the entire match…
The beta felt like a much quicker game, with the squad order suggestions solving part of the issue for me. But it also means no squad bonuses and the quicker gameplay felt more like CoD on the sense that it’s more of a shooter and less of an all-out tactical warfare game.
Nevertheless, I liked the overall feel and the fact that it just felt a lot lighter than the previous iterations. Purists will hate it and I agree with their points but if you don’t see it as a Battlefield but just as a shooter, I thought it was really good. €70 good… I’m not so sure.
EA is owned by Jared Kushner and the Saudi prince, it was always shit, but now its dead.
I don’t play any type of shooter. My G/F does. She said Battlefield was too much like COD with wall jump mechanics, and insane types of sniping with thermal scopes ECT. She said in COD you expect that type of play, but don’t expect it in a Battlefield game. She’s not buying it.
What shooters does she recommend, as I’ve had a hard time finding games with good multi-player and movement/controls as Cod (in my personal opinion).
Thanks for reminder. I’ve almost forgot to pre-order
It makes me sad that no one remembers no Russian
