@ghinavirus No the MP is F2P the SP is gamepass/full price.
- @ArchAngeL-PCX I think it's following more like COD. Everybody in COD community complains about the yearly cycle. So EA said we will do it every 2 years and see if we can win some of the COD players to BF. We are doing everything like COD now😕pecialists, battlepass, warzone.
Just my 2 cents. There will be a new game every 2 years according to their plans but that can change. @ghinavirus Can you link where EA said that?
- @1Hairy-Gorilla here you go. Andrew Wilson said this in earnings call Q3 of this year.
https://www.altchar.com/game-news/a-new-battlefield-game-will-be-coming-every-two-years-ea-confirm-aZQoC4h2pLdX @ghinavirus Ok this works for CoD as they got every studio over there working on CoD...
GAAS but not really? So post launch Live team only main team off to BF 2023 So few new maps and a boat load of skins? I don't see how they can do both giving their time lines for normal releases. Guess I can see why they got portal let the community make the game.
So how do they think they can pull this off.
@1Hairy-Gorillacosmetics and battlepasses. Probably double and triple XP tokens. Anime camos and anime gun skins. Thats what they will do. Maybe even pay wall a few guns but will let you unlock it for free with a grind of course. Just the usual ways is how they will do it.
They have APEX to compete with fortnite(epic I know)
They want BF to compete with COD multiplayer
They want hazard zone to compete with warzone.
Its EA versus Activision like Playstation versus Xbox.

COD is COD, nothing really new and the same players will be playing regardless. Impo, the new Halo has been looking ROUGH since it was announced so I'm not at all worried about it being 'competition'.
2042 itself can be whatever but I'm really hoping they knock Portal out of the park
@TTZ_Dipsy I'm a Halo player and while Halo 5 was almost universally reviled (I'm seeing a pattern with games having 5 in the title) the Halo Infinite "Flights" (play tests) have been been well received and the multiplayer is looking solid so I'm still excited for Halo. The devs are also listening to the long time players unlike in Halo 4/5 which is a positive change. I'm not excited for the multiplayer to be F2P in Halo but I'll have to see how aggressive the monetization is as well as the AC impact. I'm hearing reports from the COD beta that it's really rough and I'm baffled by the no factions thing in a WWII shooter.
I'm super excited for Portal and think it will basically be the main game for many.

- @TAYTER-GUN way ahead of where we were in prior cycles.
holiday 2021
There are many holidays in my country at least, so I wonder which one. Also state holidays and church holidays, sometimes combined. Ah yes, so they did not state which calendar they were using ,so we will have to find out just in case they dont mean Christmas. We also have holidays like birthdays and namedays.
I already had my personal holidays this year (or holy days) so I would wait till they announce which country's calendar are they gonna use .... xD @ragnarok013 No sound in the beta and bad visibility like in recent games... They have alot to fix but with no more tests its blind faith on Sledgehammer to fix these... MTX in Halo As far as I know there is a Battlepass but it doesn't expire or have a time limit, can't buy stuff direct(might have changed)
Hehehe insert BF2042 as no factions either lol its away to sell more skins, ATM in Coldwar there are two sides so 50% of the time you don't get the skin you wanted. (in a FPS game mind you)
Portal is what might draw me, if they not just treated like private match's where nothing counts, if that happens I'd say it will die off quickly.
