Battlefield V

And so the hype begins:

initially referred to as Battlefield 2, it's renamed to Battlefield V. Which is still odd, all other version used a number, rather than a roman numeral.

Maybe it's a v, not a 5.

Don't care anymore; Battlefield is ruined. Vehicles are only a small part of the game, conquest scoring is terrible, rush with 24 players and few vehicles is boring, community are a gang of noobs and the speed of the game is way too fast.

So disappointing.

Whatever the setting i hope they lose the simplistic shooting gameplay of BF1 and go back to something like BF3 ,BF4 or better still BC2.
More than anything i hope the drop this silly sweet spot mechanic at play with BF1 sniping, making it a one shot kill anywhere in the body, utterly stupid and clearly there to please the console crowd.
Bring back headshot being the only means of a 1 shot kill, it was so satisfying in all the previous games in the series.
It also required real skill the be an effective sniper unlike in BF1 where every noob and his dog is running around with them.

I was more of a CoD fan, but I got a good bit of time out of BF3 & 4, and the recent BF1 wiped the floor with CoD, so i'm leaning towards the BF games, but i'm the opposite of you. There should be certain parts on the body that give a 1 shot kill, ie: a sniper bullet to the heart would do it. Similarly, a bullet to the gut would kill, as would one to the lungs if done right. I think they have it right in BF1. I didn't enjoy how slow some of the older ones were, so I was very happy with BF1. Just make the drop/sway harder to control, like real life. That'll get rid of the noobs. Maybe also include a small hitbox on the body, around the vital organs, and they would be a 1 shot kill also.

The reason 3 and 4 had headshot only kills was probably due to armor. No such thing (really) in WW1/2 times, so it makes sense body shots can kill, if realism is what Dice still want to go for.

I think BF1 had the right mixture, not too slow, not fast, realistic, weighty, and fun.

Bf4 is the pinnacle of the series imo.

Just took a while to get there it has the perfect mix but lacks the player base.

pretty sure I have tickets to the BFV hype train and if its Vietnam I shall **** myself but I doubt it.

I think it will be modern for 2 years then BFV or maybe Bf2, People who played Bf42/v/2 are not the target base anymore.

Saw a friend playing Bf4 last night, loaded it up just to fly around in a chopper with him. Always have problems making squads on the PS4, it's terribly frustrating. Once the gaming began it was freaking funtastic.

I honestly think we need a BF2142 remake, with the Titan. Sick of pre-modern shooters with all skins and no attachments, I know that's what it was like, but it's boring.

Eh, Titanfall?

Titanfall is good but it's more COD-like. Smaller maps in general.
I'd love to see it on large scale maps similar to BF4. Never played BF2142 but man do I wish I had.

Why are people mentioning Titanfall?

Because people who weren't around for 2142 don't know what a Titan is.

And there's probably a few confused Warhammer 40k players too.

I have BF2142 and its well down the ranks of battlefield titles for me. Just above Hard-line tbh.

Titanfall isn't exactly the same but it is an EA futuristic war game based on the frostbite engine

Russia would have already been done, might have been 1 of the 1942 expansions but it was done.


Don't understand the people who keep saying you've done a historic BF game now got back to modern, there's more modern at this stage than anything else and most of them were right after each other.

Would be disappointed if it wasn't WW2 but won't buy it if it's modern.
