- Fringerunner4 years agoSeasoned Ace@ArchAngeL-PCX It'll probably be more like Destiny (at least i damn well hope so, can do without the fortnite model) with "seasons" that are themed, but not in the fortnite sense.
If it's like destiny it'll be new story snippets along with new guns and maybe a map or game mode for each content dump.
I just really hope they don't use the same grind until you unlock model from destiny/BF5, I'm fine with it in some games, BF just happens not to be one of them.
(to be clear here, i'm fine with grinding to unlock things, i just don't want it on an arbitrary XP wheel with no say in what i can focus on)
Seeing as it's been stated there's going to be a narrative arc but we have no singleplayer, that would make the most sense, but speculation on my part.
I don't see how they can keep a narrative going without making it part of the seasonal update model though. - GrizzGolf4 years agoSeasoned Ace
Well all we can do is hope next week they drop info on the beta to keep us busy.
I have been having fun with Vanguard other than the TTK is insane. Also AOE4 stress test drops today
I really wonder when corpopropaganda came up with game as service, because there are layers of logical problems/contradictions. I guess they want to be unable to be held accountable for how miserable their behavior is toward the wallet, subpar product. It seems to me that is projects hostility toward their customer, as an idea of you buying and owning something. It means that they are forced to provide what you bought. Isnt service supposed to justify any bad behavior as nothing since you 'owned nothing' from the start anyway ?
If so, then such a behavior smells of great fear, which breeds hostility. In the end, Im not really bothered with what they do, because it only affects those who abide by their 'rules'/terms, usually after the even pay. It is funny also how they changed the wording on origin, where they say 'get the game' instead of buy. It means you should never pay if you dont buy anything. I would never have expected EA to turn into a non-profit though. I wasnt so optimistic of EA previously. I wonder when they will start to give out the money to the poor 🙂 EA former CEOs working the field with hand instruments. Such an inspiration 🙂
- @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.- GrizzGolf4 years agoSeasoned Ace

@GrizzGolfoh for sure as i think competition is the best for all industries as the consumer benefits greatly.
However, I really don't want to see anime or players running around in a bunny suit like someone mentioned lol. It will be interesting to see these cosmetics. This is something Dice can discuss with us before release. What kind of cosmetics are they planning? Game is delayed ok, come talk to us about battlepass and cosmetics. i am sure most of that is ready to go. Show us some UI of battlepass and maybe a skin or 2.- @ghinavirus hahaha, imagine a bunny cammo or a duck cammo. Solid Snake would be proud.🤭
