This Is The Worst BF Yet.

*I'd like to preface that EA is blocking the download of BF4 on Origin.  Even if you own it already.  What scum bags.

1.  A wing suit that literally defies gravity and the laws of physics.

2.  DMRs that have DEvolved since BF4. SVK has big recoil, low capacity mags and you change it from 2 shot kill at decent distances, to 3.  Stupid.

3.  50mm craft mounted guns that should be damn near one shot, doing pathetic damage.

4.  Bending bullets.  Angelina Jolie is not in this game.  Bullets don't bend just because I'm staffing right or left.

5.  50 cal sniper, anti material gun, nerfed to uselessness.

6.  Fully auto guns, beaming people beyond 100m.

7.  Lack of selection of firearms compared to BF4.

8.  Mouse input bugs.

9.  HUD crosshairs you can't even hardly see.

10. No thermal scopes.  Again, this is the future but tech and guns have devolved.

11. Anti aircraft weapons weak with low coold down on flares.

12.  Where are all the damn secondary weapons?  Sidearm?

13.  I just hit the ground, two feet in front of a player with freaking TOW missle.  It did Zero damage.  I see this with even the 50mm gun, if it ain't a direct hit, they don't die.  BF4 was way more accurate and realistic with ordinance damage.

14.  No crit areas to hit tanks and other AVs with when using rockets.

15. Shot gun is horribly underpowered at ranges beyond a few yards.

16. Vehicle mounted mini and gatling guns are underpowered.

17.  Stinger...lmao.

18.  Did I mention DMRs?

19. SFAR, M5 and Avancys are so far above and beyond better than almost all the guns, people hardly use anything else.

20. 3 sniper rifles....3.  Bf4 had a ton.

21. No claymores or trip wired or motion activated anti personel mines...wtf?

I could keep going...and going.  Focus on your game mechanics and not things that don't matter.

    @SleepyWeasel68every time i use crossbow it takes two hits

    Then I don’t know if they’ve changed it recently but when I was forced to use it in season one, it was a one hit wonder. As we type, I’m still getting one shotted by it. I’ve never been shot twice by it.

    Not firing on full auto they are not.  I would love to see you try to keep a fully auto M4 inside the 5 ring at 25yds on full auto much less 100M.  100% Guaranteed you couldn't do it.  But RL isnt the issue here.  Its the comparison between THIS BF and past ones that were just better, on every level. So what if I like DMRs?  What does that have to do with anything?  DMRs in this iteration of BF as compared to BF3 and BF4 are inferior in every way.  So we are fighting in the future and they DEvolved somehow?   Speaking of skill, please explain to me how lazer beaming people on full auto is skill?  Ill wait.

    PS oh btw, my KD is 1.15 so it is NOT >1...I dont know where you got that from.


    Challenge accepted. However, this isn't real life it's a video game. What do you want, skill and reality or fun in an FPS? Because I can guarantee you don't want me shooting at you anywhere inside 100m with an M4, and it's because of the "skill" I learned shooting it. The M4 is basically a laser beam...

    Again, this is a video game...it has to be balanced and fun.

    @CPT_GASLIGHT He might be unskilled, but he is not wrong either in some of his points. Yeh, assault rifles are effective up to 300 meters, BUT NOT AT FULL AUTO. And then there is the hack using a SMG to pop me at 200m while he is at a full run. The physics of most of the weapons are crap and the bloom should be enormous when a player is firing while running and jumping around.

    @DaRougaroux Totally agree with you, and my KD is about the same, and I am not an unskilled player either. I generally am able to get more kills than deaths, but most games its a one for one exchange. How some of these players, and they are always the same people, get 30-50 kills and only die 4-5 times is statistically not possible. The games are so bad now that I can only stay in a game for about 5 minutes before I have to quit, since I am killed 3-5 times in a row, just due to where I spawn. There is either a heli, armor, or opponents standing there and they kill me before I take 3 steps.

    @Echo6Echo Gonna call BS on this one. Like you, I learned a few skills as well, and years before you. There was a reason the M16A3 had a 3 round burst placed on it. Yeh, at 25m you can be effective with an M4, but your spread is going wide at 100m at full auto, especially if you are in any position other than prone.
    Yes, those of us who have played BF since its inception would rather have skill and reality versus "fun". Thats what Doom, COD, quake, and CS are for. This game is neither balanced or fun, and the entire concept of teamplay and utilizing the characterisitics of a specialist is dead. The entire flow of battle is almost gone now. Just a bunch of people running around the map shooting at anything that moves.

    No one has a problem with a one shot crossbow or a stealth helicopter that a SOFLAM can’t lock onto, but kill them with 50mm ordinance, and everyone losses their minds.


    are you serious?  people have been complaining about the stealth helo since it was introduced

    @Ruggels You are too far away, get closer and its a one shot kill. Unlock the explosive tip and then you will rock it. Learn how high to compensate for distance and you can take some serious shots from distance without giving your position away, then watch them explode. One shot kills every time. This is the only weapon that I actually enjoyed using. Not terribly realisitic and arcade like, but it is humerous watching the enemy explode and holler while flying through the air.

    This thread is all over the place, I'm all for constructive feedback on what you don't like and do like with Battlefield games but went very off topic.

    Closing down the topic.
