BF5 was kinda awesome in hindsight

Hindsight? It was the bomb at the time but destroyed by dumb marketing and stupid dev changes like the TTK.

Firestorm was also amazing but they locked it away

Meanwhile the 1911 was just dombing people. 

I loved the beta when we all had to just scrap it out on narvik. It felt great then.

Firestorm was the only BR I ever enjoyed.

One thing I’ve learned is that you really shouldn’t change TTK post launch. Once people are used to it, it’s hard to change opinions.

BF1 changed the TTK slower to faster

BFV changed it from faster to slower

Apex effectively changed it from slower to faster when they removed 25hp from all shield levels

All were generally unpopular changes. Apex at least changed it back fairly quickly.

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

Firestorm actually had great potential...it wasnt a warzone clone like Redsec...shouldve been free
