The announcement of Battlefield 1 Premium this week came as a hard pill to swallow for fans hoping the paid service would get the chop.
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.
The only problem i have with BF1 premium is that its now 4 expansions and not 5 like BF3/BF4
This makes my decision on whether to buy this day one easier. Plenty of other games I don't have to spend 100 bucks on to get the full experience that are coming out.
People want the biggest maps, full destruction, 24/7 servers/customizable servers, no lag, daily maintenance, single player campaign, and will break the internet if its a pixel under 1080p....yet still want to only pay $60 lol
Umm... They're listening to the people that keep buying the season passes. If people contrinue to purchase, they will continue to offer over priced season passes.
And I agree with Majin-Vegeta they shouldn't charge the same price for one less expansion.
People still are defending this practice? LOL
Looks like EA is right to do it, people will accept it anyway.
