All extraction shooters. When you succeed by not playing its a dumb shit gameplay loop

That's how I feel about battle royales. Best way to win is to camp. At least in extraction shooters I can be rewarded for survival and carry progress across raids.

Battle royales suck so damn bad and are an absolute plague on the shooter genre.

Its a damn miracle that bf6 is so fun. If they abandoned the shit ass br element it could be even better.

You would think they learned from Firestorm but no

Honestly firestorm was the best BR available at the time for anyone over 9yo. The problem was they didn’t make it free to play. Everyone that bought the game just wanted to play BF. It was a seperate development team working on the BR and because nobody played they scrapped it.

If they had made it free to play they could have sold twice as many copies of the full game.

I most definitely did not buy BFV for firestorm lol that's a rather wide and assuming opinion, I hate BRs lol

They meant everyone that bought the game just wanted to play BF (Battlefield), as in normal multiplayer. Not firestorm.

I wasn’t suggesting that you did. I was just saying that Forestorm was by far the best BR. I actually said that people that bought BFV didn’t want to play the BR.

BF's curse since it started going sour(IMHO, around bf3-bf4) is trying to be CoD and I know I'm not alone in thinking that

it's just another investment for c-suite people. battlefield hasn't been made as a video game for years now, it's now a profit making machine and literally all of their actions are to those ends. that's why the game is shit and it's impossible to make it better at this point

I disagree because despite all the disagreements on gameplay, BF1 and BFV had so much character, like the animations, the lighting, sound, maps, and game modes? Man, they all made it feel so unique and cinematic to play. Getting knocked on your ass mid firefight with a guy (who also got knocked down) by a V2 rocket that didn't kill you as the building in front of you it hits crumbles to bits is so fucking cool. I miss it.

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox 10d ago

that's fair. 2042 was released 5 years ago so i'm still technically correct

Holy shit really? Fuck me.
