"tragic" downfall?

Aw poor triple-A billion dollar EA studios making a shitty cash grab and it didn't allow their owner to buy a fifth yacht.

Somebody please go buy some microtransactions to prop these people up

As someone who usually loves the Battlefield games, I get where you're coming from. But for us, it's disappointing that the current version of a game we enjoy is so disappointing. Tragic perhaps in terms of the game itself and its fans. The greedy suits at the top can f right off though.

Battlefield failing leads to alternatives succeeding. Battlebit is way better than any modern Battlefield will be.

I stopped playing bf after 2142. That game was utterly brilliant imho. Titan battles were next level. I rarely hear people talking about it. Remake???

Say what you want about it, and it's definitely not the best battlefield game by far, but it's still battlefield and I still have fun with it.

I wish. I love battlefield and I wanted to like it so bad but I just couldn't.

[–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Honestly, what makes it so bad it's unplayable?

[–] secret301@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For me it feels like it has less destruction than 4 and the operators are just something I thought I'd like but it feels off in battlefield. None of the maps were that good either and it always felt too spread out or too many flanks to get shot from. And I'm a huge planetside 2 player so I'm used to 500+ player battles (I miss those days) and it felt everytime I died it was from somewhere that made 0 sense and was frustrating

I like being an engineer while repairing a helo and shooting unlimited controllable rockets with Liz so I like it.

There’s definately less destruction on the maps. The super hero thing negates classes entirely. The fact that you can’t (or could t at launch) run squads or have comms in the game was crazy.

Basically all the mechanics that reinforced any semblance of team play were removed.
