>>53690Bad Company 2 was a blast. I don't care if it wasn't "real Battlefield," the high degree of environmental destruction meant some maps never bored me, I'd always run into new fun situations.
Haven't played the series since EA fucked me when I bought BF3 and couldn't play online even once since something on their side fucked up my battlelog account. EA support was fucking atrocious if they even responded at all. Tried to get them to do anything for months but they were all 80IQ hindu and paki shits who couldn't even comprehend what the problem was, retards kept defaulting to their standard flowchart and insisted I had to reset my modem or some shit.
How's the destruction going to be in this one? Still limited to mere decorations and predetermined set pieces for a shitty cinematic experience?

>>55597To be fair, it was a very good trailer.
Too bad the game is very bad compared to the trailer.
I rarely if ever buy games when they come out so I don't really get into the hype cycle. I only even saw the trailer after the game came out.

>>53688I refunded this game on steam after the fact, that I could not remap the fire key.
It was always stuck on autofire, for some odd reason. People on forums said to remap controller action key, but I could not, the UI did not let me. This is very bizarre bug…
But other than that I wanted to play this, and I don't think this is a bad game. But the whole UI for menus, main menu is so…weird. It's not that it's unintuitive, but it's very odd looking. It's like someone tried to reinvent the wheel, menu options are in different corners of the screen, etc
No.55955
So I tried the beta, and now with the free weekend on Steam I had a chance to try the full game, and I really hated it. I mean it doesn't mean its a bad game. I suck at FPS, and most FPS, especially realistic FPS are just run n die sims for me. So a lot of FPS that people like are bad for me.
But some of my complaints have been echoed by more experienced gamers. That it feels like a big empty map, you just run around on till you get 1-shot by snipers. I mean its pretty common in any FPS. But it just feels more empty with the gigantic maps.
So then I tried portal. I didn't really love that either. But at least it had some zombie bot coop modes I could just shut my brain off to. I'll probably play that for the rest of the time on it.
No.55956
>>55955>portal>zombie bot coopI’m clearly not thinking of the same portal you are. What portal?
No.55988
After trying the free weekend, there were some modes I liked. I think the zombies mode if fully fleshed out could be better than COD zombies. It solved the problem of the big empty maps, as you were always engaging hordes of zombies everywhere. Basically just a dumb shooting gallery. But they'd melee me now and then. And sometimes humans would play the zombies and getcha by surprise.
And then I started getting the hang of the main mode, by playing tanks against easy bots. It was easy to roll them out in the open, but they could bog me down at chokepoints. And then I'd get out and try out the LMG.
Still not ready to face human opponents in the main mode.
I might get it for $20 or under. That is how much I spent on COD BO4 just to play bots. And I think the vs bots on this would be at least as enjoyable.
In general I think SW BF2 is the better game for a mass AI bot battle. But this uses more contemporary IRL tanks and equipment. Its probably the best tank sim you can play against bots. Unlike WOT just tank vs tank, you can use tanks in their IRL role of plowing a road for the infantry.

>>55988I'll take big empty maps any day over small maps where you get constantly spammed with "WARNING LEAVING PLAYING AREA"
No.56007
>>55996well that actually was a problem in 2042 breakthrough modes, where seemingly arbitrary parts of the map were blocked off, and then you could keep walking till you were safe.
Thats more about design than size. you can have small maps where you can go anywhere, or huge maps that are chopped up
No.56020
>>55996That's just bad design.
I actually love well made small maps but part of designing them well is in making very clear physical boundaries to keep things contained. Basically there is no warning about walking off the map because that isn't even a option (at least not without exploits).

Its crazy rembering the whole timeline for this. How it started with some rumors about BF6 early in 2021, then the 1st leaked images of just a space ship in spring 2021, Tom's rumors about a robot dog. Everyone getting hyped up that this was going to be a return to BF4 modern day warfare. Waiting an extra hour just to watch the 1st trailer drop in the summer. A trailer for a trailer. Then the terrible beta. But people rebounding in hope towards launch that it might be fixed on time. Its really the 1st game where I followed the hype from start to end.

so people are actually saying its improved a lot since release.
also its probably the best game you can play against bots that exists, with combined arms land and air. I mean bots arent too big in FPS these days. COD has them in 6v6 but they arent great.

I'm not going to argue against CSGO for the purposes you listed.
But just for having casual fun, its impressive bots, that will shoot, use tanks, vehicles and even dog fight. Simulating all aspects of a massed combined arms battle.

BF5 was not trash, gamers were only against it because of gamergate whining. It is the most beautiful immersive game I've ever played. Yeah it allowed some white German succubi with tasteful 1940s hairdos to be Nazi soldiers. Its not a textbook. No it didn't have black succubus nazis like COD WW2.
you don't like that? well you got what you wished for in COD Vanguard, with no Axis faction at all. Just allies vs allies having a soccer match.
But BF5 is the greatest game for feeling like you're in an epic battle, WW2 or otherwise. Like BF1 might be easier to play. But BF5 is the most immersive and cinematic. Like those Pacific islands, I could just wander it appreciating the beauty, amidst the death of battle.
But the Euro front wasn't bad either, it was what its like to be on the receiving end of Blitzkrieg. And focusing on UK vs Ger 1940, was a fitting sequel to the settings of BF1.

If this annoys them on a historyfag basis, there's no way these same people appreciate vanguard having no factions, you aren't making much sense.
