To help keep the Operations mode servers populated, DICE is giving all players access to new maps.
For DICE to succeed with its next game, it has to return to the roots of the franchise. Atmospheric map design, clear and defined class-based gameplay, attention to detail, and total chaos. Battlefield 1 feels like every rock, every glint on your sniper rifle, every falling brick from a collapsing church, has been painstakingly considered. So much care went into the design of the game, from its soundtrack to its costume department. To stand a chance alongside the behemoths of Treyarch and Infinity Ward, DICE needs to recapture what made their old games so brilliant, otherwise it’s all over.
"DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 3 In The Next Game"
/Fixed
...on a serious note, DICE needs to remove the Battlefield name.
Eh, bfbc2 was the peak for me, only ad dogfighting and the accommodations that come with it. Every BF after that was such an unsatisfying progression system for weapons and gear for the classes, 90% of the guns feel exactly the same when you unlock them, just felt boring in comparison. Not to mention the gimped destruction as the series progressed
I found Battlefield 1 to be overrated. The gameplay was simpler and less strategic than its predecessors. Battlefield 1 did have a woo-factor, but the gameplay got repetitive faster than Battlefield 4 in my opinion.
If DICE needs to return to the roots of the franchise then why would they look at Battlefield 1? BF1 is overly simplified and streamlined. What DICE should focus on is Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. Those two games were the pinnacle of the franchise.
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.
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.
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
Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.
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
if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.
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.
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
Daily Video Game writes: "This week’s weekly digital game sale on Xbox Store features deep discounts on many popular AAA Xbox 360 games that are backwards compatible for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, including Gears of War, Fable, Max Payne, Saints Row, Bully, Catherine, and lots more!"
Grabbed Panzer Dragoon, the Darkness, Conker Reloaded, Burnout Revenge, Time Splitters 2, Fight Night Champions, and Stuntman Ignition.
Essentially some of the classics that I can't get on PC, now that I have a Series S.
Yes!
Haha me and a friend were just about to buy into it too. Just as soon as we had enough of pubg. Well better then just buying them last week and then hearing this. But yea. Will pick this back up soon
Premium passes are a cancer on gaming. It splits the community and the games become a ghost town.
Very respectable decision
Call me crazy but I think Battlefield 1 is the funnest Battlefield of all. The graphics still blow me away and they immerse me like few games can. The draw distance is amazing and really helps me see snipers from far away. I love the movement and the shooting mechanics much better than BF4. I stopped playing BF1 in Jan 2017, but came back about a week ago and I like that I can play the new maps in Operations, but wish I could play them in all game modes :(
I just bought BF4 last week too. Fun, but still buggy 4.5 years laters and most of the maps are trash. The player base is split though, because there doesn't see to be enough servers with the premium maps. Also, nobody seems to want to play defuse or obliteration, cause I don't really care for conquest. I never cared for defuse/search and destroy type of game modes (except for in Counter Strike 1.6 and Source because they did it right). I do love the customization and the amount of guns, though, and I'm hoping they bring that to the next Battlefield game but without the muthereffing loot box battlepack bullcrap.
Since I came back last week to BF1 and bought BF4, I have now decided I will no longer support Activision, not even their Zombies mode, which was the only reason I bought WWII.
