Someone really needs to capitalize on his void and not fuck it up like Battlebit, and this "Wild Assault" is a time bomb for the most degenerate people to congregate to so not touching that with a 39 and a half foot pole.

isn't wild assault a hero shooter?
the battlebit hype passed me so I never paid much attention.

Yeah, more or less. It has BF elements from what I can tell, but it's more in line with hero shooters than BF...then again, 2042. As with Battlebit, good. It sucks to see something so great turn to pure shit, people realized that the developers simply got lucky and struck gold, then proceeded to ignore the gold and mine for copper, then wondered why people were leaving them. Seriously, every patch for that game was a nail in the inevitable coffin before they pretty much up and left (I hear there's a patch coming but unless it's huge I doubt it's going to be 6 months huge, last patch was in March). And did I mention it has a $20 entry fee? That would be good to keep all the dregs out as FtP games attract third world shitters with shitty internet, shitty mic quality, and spam said mic. It's not good however if the game is dying, full of hackers, and most of what made it fun originally was nerfed to the ground, buffed to be unopposed, or changed in some negative way. In the early days, people loved the unfiltered proximity voice chat, then of course that was shitted on along with the text chat. Someone got insta-banned for saying "Trump" so if that doesn't tell you where their priorities are...speaking of bans, the report system is busted. Trolls or sweats will mass report you for existing in a way they don't like and only 4 are needed to get auto-banned until review, did I mention that the devs are radio silent and the jannies are probably too? Also says a lot that people considered the community much better before the game went on its first sale? Ain't that something, lowering the price of entry brought a bunch of shitters that ruined the voice and text chat, almost as if the worst of randos on the internet only congregate towards low priced/free online games.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just sad that developers can see a golden opportunity and then let it slip so easily, hyped to hell and back and they nothing to capitalize on it, instead making it worse. The game was also supposed to be more like a milsim but they made it like Battlefield to test the game, then when people loved it as a Battlefield-like game they pivoted to capitalize on that, then they pivoted to be more like CoD and WHOOPS they tripped. Nearly 100,000 players, second highest peak was 40,000, 2 months later it fell to 6,000, now it barely keeps 4000. Soon as a new BF game or BF-like game comes out, that game is dead completely.

Maybe late, but the best Battlefield game is Battlefield 2 by a mile. 1942 is also up there but mostly because I can drive everything in that game and I can drive it wherever I want, even if it is a beach. And you can still play BF2 today! It's one of those old multiplayer games where people rebuilt the servers. I've played around with this for a couple years and it's legit. Your old copy will still fire up and work great.

Don't forget the fact that BF2 also gave birth to the very existence of Project Reality.

See, having the Indians included with the British was a good idea. Making them all medics was a cop out and passive racism to use the turban for class recognition though.
Female recon soldiers for the Russians was a good idea. Not distracting, blended in well because Russians are crazy and desperate and recon were actually useful/underplayed on those maps more often than not.
Making 9/10 recon soldiers black was a very not good idea because it's both the most popular class and the most hated by everyone, so their psychological attempt at blending them in backfired and just made people hate the decision more.

Making the Pajeets and the Niggers a rare spawn in BF 1 is a much better idea IMO, while they do exist, they weren't as much as compared to the average European dude in WW1.

Also funny how in BF V, the only faction that actually would make sense having female soldiers in it doesn't exist for only god knows why reason.

They could just make all the enemies only North Koreans and maybe even add some historical revisionism with some Russian 'volunteers' you fight. Would work in current year because Russia-seething is still pretty relevant with all that Ukraine stuff going on and can just make the Russians EVIL white men who are FORCING these asian (akshully, Tariq Nasheed said the REAL Koreans were BLACK!) North Koreans to do their bidding.

This exactly how I imagine a CoD About the Korean war would be lol, considering how much for whatever reason they love to piss of the Ruskies and the fact that the Soviet Union were also involved in the Korean War (albeit not as much as the Chinks).
Caligura said:
Homefront and the Red Dawn remake was originally going to be about the Chinese as the villains but then they just changed them into North Koreans last minute to save face (this was all back in 2009 to 2012 btw, not a new phenomenon).

Really shows you how tempting the Chinese market are for most of these guys. But it does annoys me sometimes seeing how easily these medias bow down to the Chinks.

I uninstalled Battlebit the second I saw that you need to agree with their code of conduct in order to access the multiplayer.

From what I read from their CoC, it's really restrictive (as I've mentioned before). Shows how out of touch these devs are with their own community considering the game was actually better and even more positive when people had unrestricted, uncensored mic and text chat access. Censorship ironically brings the worst kind of people.

They could have added the French and the Russians but no, they wanted to make up shit using Lord of the Rings-ass nationalities like "Norwegians" and "the Dutch" which nobody cares about, and the game died
 
DICE has released a new helicopter for BF2042 but you have to unlock it via ribbons.
Let's hope that they can be taken down with rockets.

The first concept art for the next BF has been released:

The game will be back to a modern setting and specialists are gone, classes are back.

While it all sounds and looks good, let's not forget that even 2042 had good concept art, we'll have to wait for them to either deliver or fuck up again.

Looks like Battlefield 1 with the colors. I lost faith in Battlefield from 2042. Time will tell if Zampella will drop the Battlefield connected universe idea.
 
Miller said:
I really hope Vince Zampella can remove all the pozz and save Battlefield.
Apparently he really wants Battlefield to go back to the basics and what made BF "Battlefield".

Nah the corpos will force pozz it. Everything that made og Battlefields great are not going to be there. Also modern looking fantasy guns like mw19/22/23. DO NOT PRE ORDER

looks like they learned their lesson pushing the Hero shit, hopefully its good, even if its shit theres always BF1 to go back to
 
It would be nice if they unabashedly gave guns their real names, but all their 2042 updates emphasised that they had no affiliations with weapon manufacturer or the military so probably not.

Modern-modern age is a good step if they actually stick by it, but they have to neuter the movement system for one if they want to go back to actual Battlefield. There was too much run-and-gun and shottie slides.

You need weapon affiliations to NAME weapons by their real names? MWII had a similar issue with their gun names. Why is that a thing NOW?
