"new experience" = new mtx experiences

I wouldn't mind to see a return to form for battlefield... maybe a more "realistic" type game, like the Medal of Honor reboot back on ps3 or the older BF games like Bad Company...

But this chasing the dragon trying to compete with CoD is going to cost them every time...

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That sounds like a bad idea.

Guessing they still have no idea why people liked Battlefield around the Bad Company to BF3/4 days. It's a complete mystery.

Modern audiences want unique looking heroes with purple tazers and quips about food delivery apps not servicing warzones.

Bad Company 2 was peak, it has been all downhill from there!

Much like when I hear about Call of duty I get a little surprised every time I hear this series is being made still. Not because it’s bad or anything, I really dont know, its just because the series got old and repetitive to me like a decade ago. How do people just keep eating the same regurgitated stuff over and over and still love it so much??

Kids are constantly being made. While it might be your 15th CoD game, it's someone else's 1st

I just want untainted Battlefield 4 with bugfixes.

I don't want any more competitive shooters with no dedicated server published. See this if institutional memory doesn't go that far, Dice fuckers: https://www.eurogamer.net/battlefield-keeping-dedicated-servers

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Doesn't Battlefield use dedicated servers though? I don't know of any peer to peer game that handles that many players.

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Note "published". Yes they use dedicated servers, but I'm not paying for ubishit or ea games that don't offer them for players to self-host.

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I only played the original Call of Duty, Battlefield 1942 and Medal of Honor... 😅

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There was arguement and reviews that COD 2 had overdone the first person shooter, and we were exhausted of the WW2 repeats.

Whats modern warfare, modern warfare (deliberately repeated), battlefield and Black ops variations up too?

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I think the point is its a high turnover game, which is generally considered bad.

Also tons of people don't touch cod or battlefield anymore who used to.

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

My bet is the "new experience" will be a shitty AI "enhanced" VR port or be the devs that maintain the post release inevitable dogshit online live service that copies Warzone and Fortnight trash Streamer-bait gameplay.

[–] Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah. My mone is on a new and transformative way to fuck the end user over via a more scummy battle pass thing

I thought I saw Zampella from Respawn saying stuff about it. All we need is for it to be Titanfall x Battlefield 3

Edit: It adds up to what one might call classic Battlefield, but bigger — big enough that it merits the efforts of four separate studios in DICE, Motive, Ripple Effect, and Criterion (Ridgeline Games was briefly part of its development before being shuttered after founder Marcus Lehto's departure). EA CEO Andrew Wilson claims it's one of the "most ambitious projects in [EA's] history."
