Battlefield V Live Reveal @ 3PMCDT

[Krenum]

So you;'e seriously going to let a character model stop you get the game? LOL

Its not the model, its the PC ideals.

Its not the model, its the PC ideals.

Which are personified by an ingame character that seems to be a part of the sp campaign. Wasn't there female characters in some of the Russian content for bf1? The character in bfv might have a backstory that explains where she is and is something that happened to some extent during ww2 for all we know. Think people are jumping the gun to say the least.

Russian women serving on the front lines actually happened though, hell, the Russians pretty much conscripted every man women and child to fight the Germans because they were getting their asses kicked until the Russian winter hit. That I can deal with because it actually happened. I think people aren't jumping the gun, simply because that trailer jumped the shark.

Teddy bears on tanks, Katanas on the backs of British soldiers, the cliche "Bloody Hell" that every British person apparently says when theirs danger. Tanks moving at an incredible speed even when mowing through objects, I could go on and on about that laughing stock of EA's vision of WW2.

If they wanted to make a war game, fine put all the silly fantastical content you want in it. But don't label it a World War II game.

You're basing all this entirely on a trailer that looks like its a snippet of an sp mission, chances are the multiplayer reveal in a few weeks will make a much better showing.

Well, first impressions you know....

Yes, i will agree the trailer was a clusterfuck but the fact is we've seen almost nothing of the game. Everyone has zeroed in on this female character shit and automatically assumed she's a front line soldier based on footage that could be anywhere. She could be a spy ala medal of honor, but it just seems the horses have been hitched to the bandwagon and everyone is playing the same tune. The info that came out from frags and others after the trailer was much more interesting than the actual trailer, so i prefer to wait and see how things progress, rather than joining in with the faux outrage over something that isn't even seen in context.

there really isnt anyone that can come close to dice and battlefield, despite what ppl would say. bf 1 was prety epic. ive played just about every game except BC since it first came out and revolutionized fps gaming with huge open worlds and vehicles. the level of highly optimized graphics and detail is just above anything else. ofc its not hyper realistic, but its still a game afterall.

Just watched:

Judging by what JackFrags is saying, this new "Tides of War" system sounds a lot like how games like War Thunder operate. Resource trees to unlock more items. Most can be unlocked via play, but some (cosmetic) can be unlocked via purchase. Rare items will be apart of it (whether cosmetic or not), thus making those items scarce (and likely eventually purchasable). They're saying the in-game currency is for cosmetic items only, but we'll see how long that lasts.

I'm going to take a guess and say that you'll be able to "purchase" boosters which make the grind shorter (e.g. 24hrs of 2x points).

^^ That system makes the most sense from the business perspective from not doing a premium pass and pushing free DLC. It's a hybrid of the F2P grind games which use free releases to keep their game going so that players continue to spend money within the game. EA has hinted they want to do these GaaS (Game as a Service) style business models, and I think this might be them testing the waters.

I like this "everyone gets DLC." IT's essential if you want me to play your online game for more than five minutes.

After I wasted my money on Road To Rome and Secret Weapons (really just map pack s with a few game-breaking weapons). After two weeks each, the servers with expansion maps were empty, and the purchase was wasted.

The other advantage of everyoone having the expansions is: they tend to put a lot more thought into making it work well.

Not at all : https://hardforum.com/threads/battlefield-v-live-reveal-3pmcdt.1961082/page-2#post-1043645711

"Yawn...............after the bullshit DICE has pulled over the years. The suppression update with BF3 is when it all started. The fiasco shit of BF4 with its incapable of knowing the opposition's facing netcode and everything else shitty in that game is when I had enough as a long time player of the BF series. I will never buy a DICE engine or game-unless-2142 is remade just because of nostalgia; even if it is a shit redo. Now this SJW women shit. Might as well make them wearing nun, or desk warrior outfits. At least they can make them French spies or some shit, but the Gaelic face painted warrior women? I am about to say fuck the gaming industry because they do too much in such an asinine manner! All of them need to take a little study in some Tao and Zen philosophies so you do not get the fucking too shaky cam, sun in the eyes, great levolution features!!!!!!11!!!!1111111!!111; and don't get me started on limited vehicle ammo too......

Personally, as a side note, to me what would be better than a battle royale is a defend against the comp (horde) mode. Almost like rush mode, but like a massive scale invasion battle in which placed emphasis on the team play mechanic because most players never drop ammo, health, nor repair! It would train players to play the game a bit more as intended."

When an EA_DICE GM uses words such as inclusive, diverse and #everyonesbattlefield to promote the game, it is all the reason I need to close my wallet.
