Battlefield General - Discuss the series here

[That Chris Guy]

I wouldn't. They already showed they can't stick to weapons of a particular era. Besides, they'd never do killing communists now.

Why not? Is EA Pro-Russia or something now?

 

[White Devil]

Why not? Is EA Pro-Russia or something now?

No, look at the state of game development today. Most of the devs are probably champagne socialists themselves.

 

[Snekposter]

Fixed that for you. There's no probably and hasn't been for a while, I'd say.

 

[The Last Stand]

I want my promised female soldiers.

Here are some Behind The Scenes pictures of the cover art for BF2042:



This appears to be Rao, before his in-game look was changed for the final launch, for reasons unknown. And I wonder what the dog was there for.

And here's the staff that were in charge of the cover art:



There's also a funny bug in the SMG Rush mode, where you can throw projectiles, including C5s, up to 100 meters.

The green tint is distracting.

Legitimately surprised by the trigger discipline.

 

[The Last Stand]

I'm loving this series. Even if I don't play 3/4 like that. I remember suiciding myself with C4 against vehicles; I didn't know you could use kamikaze tactics for the same result.

And explain this bipod gag.

Ghost riding an ATV with c4 all over it is more fun.

Okay. Now explain the bipod knife gag.

 

[I don't swear]

Okay. Now explain the bipod knife gag.

Earlier in the series they made a Colonel 100 guy who was supposed to be like an ARMA tryhard with everything unlocked to the point he put a bipod on his knife.

 

[The Last Stand]

Were bipods hard to unlock?

 

[I don't swear]

Were bipods hard to unlock?

AFAIK no, it was a meme they created which DICE caught onto and then implemented knife-bipods after BFFs meme'd it.

And here's the staff that were in charge of the cover art:

Somehow that was exactly how I imagined them, but without the trigger discipline.

 

[Monkey Shoulder]

Can't wait till you gunfags find something else than trigger discipline to jerk off over

 

[The Last Stand]

I imagine BFV is regaining players in hindsight after 2042 because it's the last Battlefield game that stuck with the tried and true formula.

Don't forget that Vanguard released and ended up WORSE than V ever could in regards to its WW2 setting. That's an achievement given 1) Vanguard is built on Modern Warfare 2019's foundation and 2) EA/Dice outright told people against their direction to "accept it or don't buy it."

I surmise people stick around with Battlefield in spite of its many launch issues because DICE created a great foundation with their class based system, immersive, but arcady gameplay and massive scope compared with other shooters in the market.

Pretty much every Battlefield except the really old ones has more concurrent players on Steam than 2042.

 

[Nguyen Van Phuoc]

For the first time, Battlefield 2042's player count dropped below 1000 players on Steam.

Over a span of 5 months. Not even a year.


Meanwhile:


What a time to be alive!

How can anyone still watch that guy? Thumbnails are always containing the same old companies that everyone knows are bad.
