Me, thinking I can probably give them feedback I hope they listen to, having played Battlefield since 2142 and Modern Combat (the mod):
EA: There are 200k users in line ahead of you
Well I guess they must not have wanted my feedback anyways? Probably they’re just looking for fake positive feedback to stroke their ego as they move in to ruin yet another Battlefield title.
Battlefield players are similar to most other gamers, really. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We love playing a game with the same formula, as long as the formula works. Bad Company 2 and the games that preceeded it worked. BF3 worked. BF4 worked after they fixed it with numerous patches. BF1 was the beginning of the downward trend, for various reasons. Some people may have liked BF1, but there is no denying that it was very different from BF4, and many users chose to stay on BF4, even to this day. Lots of people playing BF4, at least on PC. I almost always have to wait in a queue to join a server, and once I join the server is consistently full at 64 players.
They could literally recycle nearly the exact same gameplay from release to release, making new maps, minor adjustments, and changing the setting / graphics, and Battlefield players would be happy. Its crazy how they have managed to mess this up so reliably.
I’m not sure having a rate limit on signups means anything for what kind of users they’re looking for. The site was actually down last night probably from the sheer amount of traffic hitting it.
But otherwise yeah I agree, BF:BC2 and BF3 were great, BF4 was ok but I never liked how the guns felt as much. I hope BF6 is essentially an update to those which the trailer does pretty much show so far.
I am nearly certain it is getting botted. No way that many people want to get in for Battlefield Labs just to tell DICE how to make a game. Its been consistently over 200k since about an hour after it opened.
BF4 guns felt great except when your opponent was using a shotgun. The bullet drop on long rifles was nice and predictable, even if it was unrealistically strong. But the long rifles themselves were powerful too. I was the biggest fan of Assault class weapons, but I ended up always playing Engineer and using PDWs because vehicles were so massively overpowered and if you were any class other than Engineer you were basically dead if you were in an area with no cover and a vehicle saw you.
Playing against a helicopter whore with a 245 kill streak is not fun. Especially when small arms fire does nothing to the helicopter in the game, but in real life the thing would have been demolished by small arms fire. Im not saying it needs to die in a single RPK mag like in BF Vietnam, but at least give players who play any class except Engineer some options.
