I've started playing apex.

Which I hate. I hate that BF, a series I've really loved, and put so many hours into, has forced me to leave...

Forced me with poor decision after poor decision.
Stuff that... it's like, is this babby game programmers first game?

I mean, firestorm takes forever to load now. They're going backwards.

They're actively and passively making the game worse.

DICE has this awful tick that makes them try to do their own version of a current gameplay trend that doesn't really for what makes BF fun. Sometimes it works better than the OG trendsetter. Like, Domination is way better close quarters/run-and-gun than any COD game.

But then BF5 has fortification building an it's like, why?? It slows down gameplay and then a bomber just flies over and blows your poo poo up.

They could have just made BC3 and everyone would be more than happy...

Also, Hardline is a better BF than BFV

I really like the fortification building in V. I was worried that it would be really wide and open but it being fairly restricted works out well. Doubly so on maps with alleys where barbed wire and sandbags pile up.

Little bird was extremely fun for friend havers when you did the whole full squad w repair tools thing. Fun to down fighter planes with it or strafe scrub snipers who worked hard to get up on the most pointless of high perches.

And if bf v is not doing it for you the answer is quite clear. Not apex. But titanfall 2.

Titanfall 2 would be awesome if there weren't any titans. Apex is pretty fun though! Better than firestorm for sure.

I think I just have a lot of sour luck with fortifications, although it was really convenient while our latest newborn was still nursing. I could just give her a bottle of formula and build some walls while still getting my BF fix. lol I'm probly a bad parent

BF4 is still fun, but everything is OP and some levels are just a big clusterfuck of nonstop explosions. Looks a little dated but not awful.

Does it have enough of a playerbase to play? I literally didn't put ten hours into that game because my life was busy at the time.

I agree. On its face you would think blasting Death Grips from your muscle car while shooting RPGs at cop cars would be fun. But dice found a way to make it awful.

I say it all the time but it’s my favorite example of dice being dice. 6 months after hardline came out, there were more BF4 players on PS3 servers than all the BFH servers for consoles & PC combined. Just squandering a loyal fan base.

There were some overall positives to Hardline. It was the smoothest launch of any BF and they're were no gamebreaking bugs. High customization. Excellent, beefy gunplay. The multiplayer trashtalk voiceovers were hilarious. Blood Money is one of the best BF game modes ever. Maybe the easiest BF for rooting out snipers because they didn't have anywhere to hide that made them effective. Fantastic patches, lots of melee weapons. Maps like the graveyard and the natural history museum were cool. Some nifty gadgets and perks. Closest recent BF to BC2 since it didn't take itself too seriously.

Hardline, in particular the hotwire mode were really good imho. Looking back it had a fair amount of cool weapons, gadgets and levels. Being in a modern setting & too similar to 4 wouldn’t of been a problem had it launched during 1’s lifetime or even now alongside V

The HCAR, .400 Judge Revolver, and paratrooper Aug variant were rad

I would be happy if the Pacific Theater was just BF1943 in the BFV engine.

Last time I checked out 4 (before V's release) it was nothing but the most obnoxious poopsockers. Maxed out little birds with two repair torches and a pilot that has 400 hours flying and 20 as infantry.

There are plenty of poopsockers around but also a steady stream of noobs. It’s actually hilariously obvious that a lot of them played BFV as their first Battlefield because they prone a lot which isn’t really a successful strategy in BF4.

I actually like having a bunch of poopsocker pilots still around, makes it that much more satisfying to own them with a TOW/RPG/SMAW. :twisted:

Metro ww2 will only be good if, like the original, you can push a team of trash snipers back into their uncap and lock them in all round.

You could rework Metro into a good close quarters map, but then it wouldn't be Metro. B isn't a problem for fans of Metro, it's what they want.
