[headline]Battlefield 5... 1? Reveal Tonight![/headline]

 

Today is the day that Battlefield fans have been waiting for since before Hardline was released. EA will be unveiling the next game in the Battlefield series and it looks like they will be taking us back to the Battlefield roots with a game set in World War 1. But possibly not the WWI as we know it......

 

Read more on this...

Something along the lines of BF 1943 would be good to see. That was a brilliant game for its price and one I must have played through as much as BF3.

[Camel]

Completely agree. 1942 was a brilliantly brilliant game even though I was brilliantly terrible at it due to being a noob at life. :lol:

 

10 more minutes!

[CarMadMike]

Someone get that man a thesaurus :p

 

I'm very interested in this game, I've always preferred the WW1 type war games but i'm not sure whether i'll like that twist they seem to be putting on it.

[mau92]

I'd love to see another Vietnam themed BF... Although we already have BF:V and BFBC:Vietnam

[Eudemon]

Completely agree. 1942 was a brilliantly brilliant game...

Mells it's BF 1943. :ym:

[RobikV3]

WW I doesnt really fit BF theme, I mean only few primitive tanks and planes, I guess it'll be more infantry focused

 

WW II seems more fitting for me but we'll see

 

Btw is it still being made in Frostbite engine?

[Camel]

1942 was the first one! :fp:

 

1943 came out in 2010 I think and was a more cartoony/arcadey game.:toetap:

 

And this guy, shush, show the new one!

[Camel]

I like the looks of that. :panic:

 

Although I'm not sure about the horse. But we have SPADES!

[Eudemon]

I can dig it.

[Camel]

Quite literally.

 

Spade only melee matches anybody? :lol:

[Eudemon]

Need to hear more about it but I'm kind of hoping BF1 is a more raw experience. Not so much spray and pray but shoot to live as reloading back then took its time.

 

This presenter is a tool, he'd be better on a CoD event.

[RobikV3]

Looks cool I have say, but so did BF4 on trailer not so much in live gameplay, and its still built in FrostBite which is a shame

[hassan1995]

Frostbite is a good engine.

[RobikV3]

For graphics maybe, not so much for gameplay

[Eudemon]

How so? BF games that have had the Frostbite engine have been amazing to me in the gameplay department. The netcode has always been the issue, never the gameplay.

[mau92]

That trailer looks... Brutal. I hope the game can live up to that, specially after Hardline...

[RobikV3]

You pretty much answered the question Yourself there, the netcode which is bad because the engine is limited as the Dice said themselves, which You can easily notice, first BF built in Frosbite engine was the Bad Company 2 and it also was the first BF game to experience serious netcode issues such as damage not being registered or getting killed behind cover because of low tickrate.

 

Then came BF3 which was even worse and then ofc BF 4 which was total disaster at lauch, when on paper BF 4 had the best netcode out of all Frostbite engined BF games, even now after all the updates to netcode its certainly a lot better, but its still not great and theres not much room for improvements left.

 

BF 1 wont be as bad as BF 4 was, but I doubt it'll be great either.

[mau92]

Funny thing is that everyone bashes current version and praises the version before. I was talking with a friend about this, and he told me "I won't get BF4 because it too bugged", I answered, that not anymore, plus it's a bargain right now, and BF3 (Which he played quite a lot) had some of the same issues BF4 had on its launch... And he stood there like :T

So... My advice is to wait a couple of month, get it on a sale so bugs are ironed out... Either way people will praise latest BF and bash current BF until a new one comes out...

[Paladin Skylark]

Once the bugs are fixed it'll be a blessing, I'm so tired of modern warfare from DICE and I'm tired of space pew pew from Activision.

BF 4 has been released 3 years ago and it still very glitchy and buggy so, you can wait as much as you want, but the bugs that cant be fixed simply wont be fixed.

 

And its not the case of people hating new titles, its the fact theyre were getting worse with every release, if you ask me yes BF3 even though it wasnt perfect it was a a lot better than BF4, not only in terms of netcode, but sounds were better for example and overall feeling of it, BF4 went too much into COD direction thats what i didnt like the most

[Camel]

The sounds can be improved in BF4 by choosing the battle/war tapes sound setting on the options somewhere. Sounds brilliant through my amp and not too shabby through my TV.

 

I honestly can't say that there are any bugs in BF4 that I've encountered for a long time other than lag and no matter how good the netcode is, lag cannot be removed. It can be smoothed out but there's only so much of an impact that can have. The lag will always be there for all online games unless you play on a LAN.

 

And now for something related to BF1. https://www.facebook.com/GamingWorldUK/videos/979478075493106/?fref=nf

 

Will Battlefield 1 be a bugged game when released? More than likely. Will millions of people still buy it though? Yes, because it will get fixed. And even while it's in the process of getting fixed it will still be a great game that can be a lot of fun if the past games are anything to go by.

[superhyper]

We may have been talking too much as that was pretty much exactly what I was going to say, down to the pew pews :hmmm:

Well, that's true, games come out less finished everyday. However, I have never experienced any major bugs. One thing that annoyed me was getting killed after getting behind cover, anyways, when I played on Brazilian servers (Low ping) I didn't have that problem. So it was pretty much a lag problem. About sounds, I really like them over BF3, maybe what BF4 lacks is more shouts as ppl get killed and such, they add to the inmersion.

And, as Camel says, people will but it anyways... Me included (Maybe with a discount :P )

[RobikV3]

Bugs are still there, theyre not major but really the most annoying are the small ones, like when you cant jump over the wall because vault mechanic wont work, or when you get killed by what looks like a dead body sliding on the ground, so heres hoping BF 1 will finally change that

 

About the sounds, i was talking about the quality of sounds in game in BF4 most of the guns sound pretty much the same with just changed pitch and tone, in BF3 every gun had its own unique sound, for example compare BF3 M60 LMG sound with BF4 version its way worse, at least for me.

 

And thats exactly why we get unfinished games, because no matter what people are prepared to pay the full price, even for unfinished game
