Re: Limit the ammo and fuel for vehicles?

@ProfessorBoreas Bases are out of bounds in BFV for the most part (planes and tanks can still get you if you're not careful) so it's a bit harder to get base stomped. First flag stomps though...

  • I prefer limited ammo over the weird 5 shot system from BF3/4. Made for some pretty boring vehicle battles. Sadly that is the system that Battlefield 2042 is going to be using.

    No to fuel though.

    @Noodlesocks I absolutely hated the limited ammo system in BFV.

    In the end it's one of the main reasons that game was bad compared to the previous games in the series.

    For Vehicle Gameplay Battlefield 3 and 4 are what I would consider the best in the series. So I am glad they are going back to what made those games great 🙂

    Actually no one knows how game play will work. Currently I expect Beta being very different from technical play test experience. 

    And if things I didn't like during the technical play test are unchanged in Beta, I start to complain about them then.

    Battlefield 5 was a cacophony of contradicting design philosophies that it' would be disingenuous to say one particular feature was the or even a primary cause for it's lackluster gameplay experience. It is easy to look at Battlefield 5 and say "This game was bad so this feature is also bad," when the real problem was the result of a number of compounding mistakes in design.

    Before Frosbite, Battlefield games always had limited ammo and it worked perfectly fine because the features surrounding the ammo system was designed from the ground up to support it. Everything was designed to work in conjunction with each other, not in contradiction like a lot of Battlefield 5 was.

    I'm not particularly fussed one way or another, it's not a deal breaking/making feature for me but I certainly prefer limited ammo over the 6 pump chump system.
