would people play less if there was no ranking system ?

Viking_Socrates3839d ago

Knowing a lot of people, the answer is a tragic yes.

JKelloggs3839d ago

Tragic? No. It gives incentive to play, to earn more items, guns, attachments etc.

JoGam3839d ago (Edited 3839d ago )

Yes! More like Hell Yes! Trophies/Achievements/Ranking systems all give games replay ability.

Skate-AK3839d ago

If I feel like there is no more progression to make, I stop playing the game.

SuperBlur3838d ago

meh , the games i buy i do so because i enjoy them , progression or not. In some games , the progression make it feel like such a grind that i give up , uninstall/trade it in and move on. I hate grinding , i hate playing mmos for that very reason , im grinding my arse off everyday with work , when i play it's to have fun not to work a 2nd job

SIRHC133839d ago

Still the same XP-based BS. I'd like to see a fresh new ranking system among FPS games. Something more rewarding and a little more difficult to achieve.

Majin-vegeta3839d ago

Well in KZ:SF you have to do challenges to gain XP.

Detoxx3839d ago

No hating here but, having to do challenges in order to gain XP limit's your play style

colt-of-tipton3839d ago

Not sure if I like the idea of a kill-assist being classed as a kill .

Last_Boss3839d ago

I actually like the kill-assist, cause awards those for saving a player, and shows teamwork.

supes_243839d ago

Nothing new here. Played the beta and it felt just like BF3 with new maps. It amazes me how people buy the "new" BF or COD for $60 and all it has is new maps. Sucks that games like this make a ton of money because I'd like to see more innovative ideas for gaming. I prefer TLoU, uncharted, frontline was cool, heavy rain, idk? I'm just tired of the same ol shooter I guess.

Hufandpuf3839d ago

I guess player based destruction and maps that can change play styles on a map with 64 players complete with land air and sea battles is just like every other shooter then /s

Seriously, do you want to go back to playing corridor shooters or games that let you play any style you want?

supes_243839d ago

I agree to a certain extent. During the beta it didn't feel fresh. Also if something is destructible that's the first thing people go far and it got really old really fast knocking down that building. And so want about the vehicles, it's been done four times already in the series. More players means more cluster on a map and less people trying to accomish a goal. Maps that are destructible don't change play style, they just make you go around the object like you were doing before and it becomes so common the destruction takes place within the first 5 minutes of the game and you spend the next 20 minutes playing on the destructed map. Not too great at that point. Maybe I was wrong about "same as every other shooter". I meant same ol BF stuff. Nothing bad by it, if you like it by all means enjoy it.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot756d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250755d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface755d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop755d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno755d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel756d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps755d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888755d ago (Edited 755d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33755d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888755d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH755d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
