one good point in bf5 will be, that pilots not having unlimited ammo anymore. they will have to fly into special areas for reammo like in bf2. so this will be a lot better
And no helicopters. If they get helicopters I want a SUAV!!!!
I’ve played some BF3 lately and above all, the maps are great. Some issues with soldier movement vs BF4 but otherwise fun. There is something with BF1 I can’t put my finger on that makes it less fun (apart from the many sniper and pilot kills). BFV may be the same thing?
Oh, and P Söderlund’s of EA/Dice remark about players being ”uneducated”... I have no objections to female soldiers but the way that woman in the first trailer looked was just silly. Come to think of it, the male soldiers with various skins/outfits looked silly too. WW2 my arse
Reflecting on the brief spell with the BF5 Alpha, it is very much like It was with BF1. A new map seems to be fun to play but after a short while they get boring. In BF4, even just playing the initial maps on rotation I still enjoy need to be wider, too many are quite narrow and that makes each round too similar. The behemoth thing is a bit silly too.
If they really wanted characters to be inclusive then giving you the chance to select gender and some racial identifying features would be better than having a token woman or person of colour. Even in WW2 times there were few African American soldiers on the front line as they were stereotyped into more menial roles because of the social situation in the US at the time. Segregation in the US armed forces was still in place until 1948. During WW2, African American military were welcomed in Britain as equals with their white counterparts. However, the African Americans were subjected to racial abuse by their own nationals and there were calls by the US for the British to designate places such as pubs as black/white only but it was refused/ignored.
Sorry, went a bit off line there!
I think, as I mentioned before, BF1/5 are console oriented rather than being primary PC and ported to consoles as BF3/4 were. That is probably causing the issue.
