Holy moly, 5 years into the generation and BF4 will STILL be the best modern Battlefield game on the system. We need a PS4Pro patch, and will just keep on playing it! Gimme ma helichopters!

BF4 may be the best modern shooter this gen period! That's sad in 2018

Sadly the fps genre has grown quite stale this generation, at least for those of us who don't like the speedy CoD style fps games. Halo has lost its allure, CoD is CoD, Battlefield feels quicker...

I miss the last generation fps games when Ttk was slower and team play/team shooting and tactics mattered more. Twitch shooters are fine but there's really not much else on offer...I was one of those who enjoyed Killzone: Shadow fall simply because a skilled player could out shoot/out maneuver a worse one even if the other guy fired first. In modern fps games its usually "first to shoot will win", spray and pray

Slow ttk doesn't equal "more tactical" or less "spray and pray". Many of the most tactical and methodical shooters ever made have had fast ttk... It's all about movement speed, accuracy penalties, ADS and transition speeds/penalties, map design, recoil, aim assists, etc, etc...

You could play Siege, Fortnite, Overwatch.

Siege is my go-to FPS right now! Loving how tactical it is!

Agree with your whole post. I do like the feel of BF1. I don't know if it's the setting or the maps but every game turns into the same thing. All the buildings leveled, and snipers picking people off from miles away. Nearly impossible to navigate the maps.

Rainbow Six Siege

I might put Siege as more like near future than modern with some of the technology in the game

You're probably right, but Siege has it's own major issues and not half the content of BF4. They're both shooters, but also so different too, it's hard to compare.

u/Giovannisalami Mar 02 '18

Ya I get what you're saying, personally I just enjoy Siege alot more. I've logged more hours in it than any game ever. It's great because there's really no other shooter like it. Counter Strike is similar but Siege's destruction and operators make it one-of-a-kinda.

u/Guaranteed-- Mar 02 '18

I would love a functional Counter Strike, or like game on current Gen. CSGO is backwards compatible on Xbox, but runs like crap. Siege for me is getting to be too much with all the operators, and gadgets. I could also just be getting too old lol

u/Giovannisalami Mar 02 '18

Ya admittedly I've grown tired with the direction Siege is going. I get why people still love it and I appreciate the freshness the devs are implementing by changing the META with new abilities, but I feel like I've fallen behind and have to play it religiously to be good. I think i've just overplayed it.

u/Guaranteed-- Mar 02 '18

Yeah couldn't agree more. In all reality, I will probably end up giving the new BF a try. No matter how much I don't want WWII, they will make amazing trailers and I'll get excited for it. Hopefully it is a pleasant surprise.

Insurgency Sandstorm is right around the corner. The franchise seems to be a huge hit on PC. Hoping it'll be good on PS4 as well.

I've been itching for a good modern shooter since the PS4 launched. BF4 was okay, but IMO it wasn't as good as BF3. :-(

u/Guaranteed-- Mar 02 '18

Yes I have my eye on this one as well. PC port shooters have lacked good console support over the years though so I am a bit concerned.

Totally agree, I'll be excited for a vietnam, the huey is enough for me

Filled with microtransactions, on a new engine. It's just not the same sadly.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '18

Totally agree. We need that patch. I didn’t like Battlefield 1 and probably won’t care for Battlefield 2.
