    Me, thinking I can probably give them feedback I hope they listen to, having played Battlefield since 2142 and Modern Combat (the mod):

    EA: There are 200k users in line ahead of you

    Well I guess they must not have wanted my feedback anyways? Probably they’re just looking for fake positive feedback to stroke their ego as they move in to ruin yet another Battlefield title.

    Battlefield players are similar to most other gamers, really. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We love playing a game with the same formula, as long as the formula works. Bad Company 2 and the games that preceeded it worked. BF3 worked. BF4 worked after they fixed it with numerous patches. BF1 was the beginning of the downward trend, for various reasons. Some people may have liked BF1, but there is no denying that it was very different from BF4, and many users chose to stay on BF4, even to this day. Lots of people playing BF4, at least on PC. I almost always have to wait in a queue to join a server, and once I join the server is consistently full at 64 players.

    They could literally recycle nearly the exact same gameplay from release to release, making new maps, minor adjustments, and changing the setting / graphics, and Battlefield players would be happy. Its crazy how they have managed to mess this up so reliably.

      I’m not sure having a rate limit on signups means anything for what kind of users they’re looking for. The site was actually down last night probably from the sheer amount of traffic hitting it.

      But otherwise yeah I agree, BF:BC2 and BF3 were great, BF4 was ok but I never liked how the guns felt as much. I hope BF6 is essentially an update to those which the trailer does pretty much show so far.

    If this is basically battlefield 3 + I will happily spend the money and time playing a battlefield again.

    If this has any of the BS that made 2042 suck so much ass I will be skipping it.

    I miss having a solid battlefield game to play, but I’m not going to take any bullshit included. I don’t wanna see any fuckin wingsuits. No grapple hook Tarzan mother fuckers. No wall hack BS.

    I want 4 classes. I want team objectives. I want maps that look like shit by the time a match ends because everthing has been pretty much been leveled by explosives.

        I played a ton of battlebit when it came out. It was fun for a bit but it got stale kinda fast and then everyone I knew stopped playing

      Honestly. Leave it to EA to take what was a winning, recurring formula and shitting on it til irrelevancy. The fast, twitchy movement, weird tools, etc are not what made BF fun. You’re supposed to feel like a cog; nothing special, another soldier in your small squad looking for the small wins. Those don’t get clip farmed, though, and it’s a CoD/Warzone economy right now. I do have some hope with the gritty WW2 games like Hell Let Loose and Enlisted seeing some success, it’s swinging back out of that type of genre and back to the BF roots.

      Question remains, the big issue may be progression and the definitely happening micro transactions and battle pass, and their implementation.

        Yeah this is EA we are talking about here. I have my expectations below the ground, but I remain open to the idea of being happily surprised lol
