''The more I see of Battlefield 1, the less interesting it becomes. Ever since Battlefield 2, the series has been on a downwards spiral in terms of depth and complexity. Gimmicks and fancy effects became increasingly important than gameplay and variety. It’s not to say that this has been a purely bad thing, but it’s starting to become worrying.''
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"

...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
The shooter genre is one of the most beloved videogame genres in the gaming community, and rightfully so. From DOOM Eternal to Battlefield 4, passing through The Outer Worlds, the Xbox Game Pass has a lot to offer when it comes to amazing shooter experiences. Come check out some great shooter games available on Xbox Game Pass!
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.
The authors argument about depth and complexity only works if the actual gameplay depth is less in Battlefield 1 than previous titles. From I've seen that doesn't seem to be the case...
Things like the Zepellin, which are fully player controlled, the fact that vehicles now have locational damage that has appropriate effects, much better destruction. Changing weather which actually changes the gameplay at times (eg: fog)
Emphasizing class based combat, where you can't snipe with SMGs or assault rifles (which you could do in BF4, and even BF:BC2). Gas grenades and gas masks, the bayonet charge as a way of killing enemies but also moving quickly in short bursts... the ability to climb walls and such
These are added layers of complexity compared to BF3, BF4.
BF1 might be a step UP in complexity compared to its direct predecessors.
It might still be somewhat fast and action focused like BF3 and BF4, but as far as complexity and depth go, it doesn't look like it's a step backwards
Battlefield 1 is looking like it'll be the best in the genre when it arrives. Why change if your already at the forefront of key features.
Its definitely an improvement over the last 2 games. I don't know how you dont see that. Like lamboom said more destruction, weather that forces you to change tactics, classes are more unique but still need some tweaking, location destruction on vehicles, notification from squad leader to capture a point, no more lock on weapon crap, entering vehicle animations and more. Now of course I would have loved to see modding but I dont think thats going to happen ever again for the series.
Opinions are kinda like assholes.
Everyone has one, but we don't need to hear about everyone's..
Lol just saying.
Battlefront was a little watered down IMO
Doesn't meant battlefield 1 will be.
I read the title and instantly assumed it was a PixelGateUK article.
I was not disappointed.
You could say their headlines "continue to be watered down".
