So I've played every Battlefield, and in every single one, the way you get tanks/planes completely sucks. It just sucks.
In BF1942 up to BF3, all vehicles spawned on the map. So you would just have to camp the runway and wait until a vehicle popped up while other people camp as well.
In BF4, I forget how they do this one. I think they spawn on the map as well, but you can select to go into one directly from the map screen. Leading to camping as well.
Now we come to BF1 and V, and this one REALLY blows. The only way to get into a vehicle is from the map screen. And there are a ton of people not playing and just looking at this fucking map screen, waiting for a vehicle to be selected.
I was playing BFV today on the new pacific maps, and I wanted to try and fly a plane. The only viable way to do that is to sit on the map screen and just wait.........and wait. Then the plane icon will pop up for LITERALLY 1 NANOSECOND and someone will already have taken it. It's like.......this is fucking ridiculous. I have 2 options. Play the game and pretty much resign myself to never flying, or not play and just watch the map screen, and hope to win the lottery. Its a tiny bit better with tanks because rather than only 2 per team, there is more I think. It's still pretty difficult because tanks are being played for longer.
And I just hate this system. I really do. With a passion.
And I hate because it is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better in Battlefront 2. None of this bullshit.
In Battlefront 2, you gain points by playing the game. Then, you can use those points to use a tank, plane, hero class. So you can't just camp the the respawn screen. You actually have to play the game and objectives to get points, to be able to use vehicles/heroes. I've actually been able to use spaceships, been a hero class, use at-st's, etc. And I didn't have to feel pressured to camp a screen.
I just can't believe Dice reverted back to this terrible system in BFV. I mean..........does the community not care? Am I missing something? In my eyes, they fixed this problem in Battlefront 2, but apparently this garbo system in BFV is ok???
