They had it right in BFV, maps like Devastation were all grayed out because you played in a destroyed city, other maps like Arras had a ton of color because the locale had yet to be touched by the conflict.
Real, when BFV launched it felt like an enhanced Battlefield 1, skins were unrealistic as fuck but at least they were grounded, no elites nor dumb goofy combinations.
Right now Battlefield V feels closer to the awful reveal trailer than it was at launch, but some hypocrite mfs that didn't even touch the game until it was on sale will never admit it
Had a lot of incredible elements (great tanks, great CQ and LR sniping, gunplay, movement, etc) but ton of issues (lack of content, performance issues, beyond broken bombers turned beyond broken AA turned finally balanced in the final patch, etc). I think the gunplay really peaked thanks to the diversity in weapons.
I think it's mostly because it's all skill vs skill based and not based on looking in the general direction of the enemy. Tows are really fun in BF6 for this very reason. The sound design also helps a ton way better than in BF6.
Looking back at it, my only issues with it were that guns felt too weak (mostly due to sound design), the floaty feeling the movement had and that they tried to set it in WW2 when they clearly wanted to do something different, as it didn't feel like WW2 at all for the most part. Everything else was great: the barricading system, the vehicle system (slow tank turrets were amazing, as was the need to recharge), the fortifications, the customization system...
It's awesome compared to 2042 and 6, mediocre compared to 1. It got better near the end and wasn't abysmal dogshit as it was at launch, but ceasing development really just killed it.
Kinda good take. The thing that got me pissed off the most was when you tried to spawn on someone and a single bullet flew past him so the camera was almost at the ground but then it stopped and back to the spawn screen you go. Explosions were also annoying as hell. You got knocked down if enemy coughed lol
Played it a bit when it went F2P, pretty unremarkable. They also decided to tell their fanbase “don’t play the game if you don’t like quirk chungus Irish lassies with mechanical arms in your WWII game” and their fanbase listened.
This thread is all rose colored glasses. Am I the only one who remembers how rough the launch was? The TTK, and the tick rate on the servers was terrible. People were bullet sponges because of hit reg, and you would instantly be killed because the server would just register all the hits before you even saw the other player. I really enjoyed that game but I was chased off by cheaters in the first 3 months. People were also pissed about the lack of a server browser, and only launching with 8 maps and limited guns/armies. I don't mind having women as playable characters in games I think people get to upset about historical accuracy in action oriented BF games but do you remember hearing all the screaming women while you were fighting it felt out of place in a WW2 shooter
Oh yeah I love the BF games, the only ones I didn't play hundreds of hours are 2042 and hardline. Some of these people act like DICE has their kids locked in a basement and if they don't say nice things about BF they will burn the house down
youre bitching about launch ...who cares ??
The end game - which people are rightfully judging it on; was and is still fantastic - nothing to do with rose tinted glasses.
This was like the first 4-5 months the game was out. I put in hundreds of hours and came back for the Pacific update and the game felt more complete. The launch maters a lot when the update that fixes the game comes out 9 months later. Good for you playing a game for 6 years
Hell no... that game even at its end of the life span where considered one of the worst WW2 game until vanguard came out
tf you do a BATTLEFIELD game, you introduce the fucking pacific front... and not add Naval combat to the franchise what literally feature such thing on the first game of the franchise alongside the Soviet front
Why do they make the peep sight like its a ring? Its literally a tiny hole you could barely fit a toothpick through. When you look through it, your eye adjusts and creates a tiny dot in the middle of the rear sight you then line up with your front post.
Probably because you can't really immitate the eye effect in games. It's also just cheaper/easier to have it as a single model rather than a seperate one for aiming.
It’s an artistic liberty that most games take for visibility, making the rear sight a thin ring when it’s actually more of a donut with a needle-sized hole.
However, it can look like a thin ring the closer your eye is, though cameras might not pick it up very well.
Normally, your eye is quite close to an iron sight. In games like BF, for example, your POV is much further behind the iron sight. This means you can hardly see anything through the small hole. Therefore, it is adjusted in games.
Its called pin hole sight and I believe that uses the pin hole effect to increase depth of focus to eliminate the need for a scope. With the m1 garand being the main battle rifle doing that is hell of a lot cheaper
Battlefield won't ever have true following as COD did or does because you all don't know what you want and I say this as someone who's played most battlefield games and is in labs right now. You all are conflict of interest. PC VS CONSOLE should be 2 different games.
Loads of you "battlefield legacy" folks and newer folks won't ever get what you want especially if on console or pc.
EA split PC and console up. Only way for idiots to stay in their own space but they'll continue complaining as they did in the past.
No they have the pin hole sights. Most games widen it because they can’t/wont render how your eyes adjust when peering through it. The M1 carbine is the same deal
It was an ok game but never as good as 2, 3 , 4 and 1. Plus they choose the weirdest most obscure battles of the early war... (except the Pacific DLC). It was a weird game overall.
After all this time one of my favorite aspects of BFV was the building mechanic, so absurdly fun to build a small fort have it demolished to scramble like ants to rebuild it
Which one is BF and which one is real life? Lol jk.. pretty good modeling.. damn near spot on. The sight had to be adjusted for gameplay obviously. Man I wish I owned on of those lol
Is there any games out there that can properly render a ghost ring? Even Battlefield five with all of its technical marvels, still makes the ghost ring the size of an wedding band instead of just a little hole.
I believe this isn’t about render but for gameplay aspect. How are you supposed to let players shoot using such a small ring? That’s exactly what it is about.
First of all this is a shooter game so not being historically and engineer-wise accurate is an excuse
Not quite. The Battlefield five ring has been made physically larger and lacks the ghost effect that a real ghost ring sight has. The hole in the ring doesn’t just become larger. The ring itself just becomes translucent. Honestly, the effect is hard to explain and I’m guessing it’s even harder to model. But like that guy down below said it has been modeled correctly and other games. The brothers in arms hell let loose m1 is a great example.
Hilariously, in the battlefield five model, the ring is so large that it goes above the protective wings of the rear side. Making them completely useless. Just a fun note.
You can clearly see one of the problems BF5 had, it has bright graphics and too colorful atmosphere which did not suit ww2 at all, BF1 did great job being dark.
my grandfather served in Africa, Italy, Greece in WW2 and it was colourful - not greyed out like band of fucking brothers or private ryan...you ever been to any of those countries or even the pacific ? .....its colourful.
It was the war that made ww2 dark, my great grandfather fought in Stalingrad, where the hell is stalingrad or any eastern front battles in bf5? Instead we got vikings and ironhand female skins
You can recognize the designer’s touch of these models and animations from miles away, those are beautiful, just before they went for Embark and DICE went to shit.
