Welp it was fun playing a ww2 bf game on the latest engine. Hopefully the next ww2 bf game wont be another 11 years.
I tried going back to BF1 bc of the atmosphere and the vanilla maps were pretty much all great in addition to about half the DLC maps but man the mechanical changes that BFV made are too good (outside of the terrible attachment/vehicle grind and upgrades)
Did they ever revert the fuckup they did with the gunplay and TTK?
Now that the last content update is coming is there gonna be a way to earn the cosmetics from past seasons or ToW or whatever or are they gone forever?

They pretty much reverted gunplay and TTK back to Pre December.
Guys, Provence is a really good map. Like, really good. I have not clicked with a BFV map that quickly, was loving it right from my first match. Makes me sad to think that this game could have been enjoyable...
Also, how do you unlock all the new guns? I've only been given the Welrod and it says the new Chapter is coming soon and starts on May 4th... Wtf

Yeah i just got them all, guess I showed up a bit too early lol
Thats good but I see the CC grind is still as horrible as ever
Yeah I played a couple games on Provence but then just got frustrated and deleted it.
BF1 and BF4 are a better investement of time anyway, although I do really enjoy Provence.
Problem with BF1 is it takes almost a clip to kill someone when a sniper can do it in a shot or two.
Also I prefer the ammo and health system that BFV has, in addition to neat little additions like fortifications, crouch running and crouching in tank turrets.
A lot of garbage though too.
I never had any real problem with the TTK, only with random bullet deviation. I do understand some of the complaints for the game but I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Omg i completely forgot about random bullet deviation too
So dumb
Damn, I forgot how damn good this game is. The new maps are fantastic. The new weapons are great.
Yup, just jumped back in again. Despite all the bullshit, Battlefield still be the best

One of the new scout gadgets is half a mosin. So that kinda makes me assume there was a Russian content in early development or something and was scrapped.
I like the update somewhat. Provence is cool, the other map I haven't played enough. I just think it's baffling how it is ANOTHER infantry only map.
Apparently we are also about to finally get "authentic" uniforms for the Germans and the British. Great. Doesn't change the fact that we didn't have them for the majority of the game's lifespan and most people probably won't equip them.
DICE really needs to learn how to do GAAS. Obviously, if you look at Modern Warfare, Fortnite or Apex, big content drops down the line can absolutely be supported by selling cosmetics. Here's how I think it could have worked for a WWII game, or any historical setting for that matter:
Every faction has a standard uniform for each biome/theater of war, which is always auto equipped. Maybe switch it up a bit for the different classes, but keep it close to what soldiers were wearing during the conflict. THEN sell special outfits, like higher ranked soldiers or officers for the people who want something special and are willing to pay for it, like Elites are now, but not in that over the top kinda way. Characters are cool, as long as they fit into the setting. Smaller accessories like badges, weapon carvings etc. for the players who don't feel like spending 10 bucks on an outfit can still be sold for less than the outfits.
Don't let people mix and match pants to the "wrong" tops. Don't let people walk around with a forest camo on a snow map. It breaks immersion, it makes the game look like it's set in a post apocalyptic scenario where people had to scrape together their equipment. I actually think the system BFV had would work very well with an alternative history setting where the remaining people are fighting after some big apocalyptic event. Vehicles and uniforms just thrown together with what they still had, a bit like CoD:Ghosts' premise. That would actually also fit nicely with mechanics like the ammo and health stations or the fortification system.
On a related note: BFV had different colors for (some?) uniforms, but it just said "complete special assignment". WHAT ASSIGNMENT? WHY DOESN'T THE UI TAKE ME THERE FROM THE SELECTION SCREEN?

There was already a mosin pistol in BF1 if that's what it is.
OP

It's a rifle launcher like the assault's grenade launcher, in the sense the rifle launcher is an modified enfield. I have to look at the mosin pistol in bf1 since I don't remember what it looks like.
Regardless of if that's an asset from BF1, that still stings
Played a few rounds of Provence, it's a good update. Painfully good, makes you look at the sky and say... WHAT IF?
hur hur. Let's make a Battle Royale mode no one plays instead.
I picked it back up after the update, and it's fun. Provence is a good map, but I have yet to play a single round of the new Middle East map. It's almost never available to play or there's one game going with seven people queued.
The equipment additions are nice. I've been using the flamethrower gun a bunch. It's super underpowered, but it's always fun to roll in to an area with a bunch of enemies grouped together, and go to town with it.

Picked it back up after the update and it's still fun mixed with frustration which is the story of BFV. This product went it's entire life without getting team balancing. You have to respect Dice's commitment to torpedoing their own game. Who isn't excited to load into multiple games where you're down 10 people multiple times in a row.
I think they've turned the catch up mechanic back up to convince people that it's more balanced than it is. Not a good alternative to actual balance.
The new maps both seem good, the Libyan one actually looks great on the xbox, which hasn't happened since BF4. Join Marita or Underground and it comes up afterwards, people always quit those maps when it goes wrong as well.

I think so. I just played some rounds but didn't see to many players having them equipped. Feels good to wear it though, even though you hardly ever see your own soldier.
I don't have nearly enough coin to afford these sadly... I might be willing to buy them, but I still feel so fucking burned by the deluxe edition I don't want to give them more money. But then again, these uniforms are what we've been asking for literally since day one, and I want to vote with my wallet. Literally the best cosmetics they've put out, no contest. Shouldn't have to pay money for this basic shit though...
Everybody please equip these.
I completely agree. Luckily, outside of tank customization, these are the first cosmetics I ever bought, so I had plenty of CC to spare.
Yeah I should have saved more, it is so wildly stupid you have to use CC for weapon specializations. I might throw out 5 bucks because I do like the skins, but then again I get sick of BFV easily. Really don't enjoy any of the maps outside of Provence, Iwo Jima, Pacific Storm, Solomon Islands, and Al Sundan. I don't know what it is about this game but the maps feel so off.
Steam activity has reached 2k players today.
While miniature compared to what a big game on Steam has, 2000 players during the prime time is a huge boost to the population.

Okay that's what I thought and hoped but nowadays you can sadly never be sure.

I hope EA shows something regarding the new bf game during EA play. Iirc, the next bf won't be out till next year, so there's a a lot of time before it drops and with bfv support gone..
Well normally they don't show anything until the E3 a couple months before release. It's hard to believe they won't try to shit something out in time for when the new consoles launch though.
Against my better judgement reinstalled, lol first game, not only is he a bot he's a racist, saying all types of horrible shit about black people and the use of the n-word is strong with this loser, said to him hope EA doesn't ban you from BFV but bans your entire account, he said i hope so, i will just come back again EA can't stop me.
For botting a game ban is good enough, but for racism it should be hardware ban, don't let these players back...
Edit: his name is very offensive the way he bypass your censor with a different letter you gotta do better EA...

lol just join a game it was 3 vs 16, landed on the 16 team, Dice/EA stole money and then abandon the game, I have zero trust in EA/Dice more so EA, it may take me years before i buy another EA product..
Really enjoying the game again since the latest update. Prior to that update i felt the sound was weak, so i didn't play much if at all. Now though it all feels and sounds great!
Is it just me having altered perceptions from time to time or went the sound up from bad to good with the latest update?
