Battlefield is not a gritty military simulation game and never has been, it is a large scale arcade FPS, often taking place in arenas based on real locations.

@BuzzfunkHere's a list of previous Battlefield features that absolutely justify it being classified as an Arcade Shooter:

So what you are saying is i am wrong and you make it right? The 2042 beta felt like an aracde shooter to me. My opinion. You dont need to point out what parts make an "arcade" shooter.- 4 years ago@Buzzfunk With bfv there was a bunch asking where all the OIB moments were. Vehicle exit animations stops me from oib’ing.
This time they’ve gone all in for the oib in the trailers. And they keep it light. I thought the trailer was fine, except for the catch phrase, which I don’t understand.. is it great to be alive because we get to play this game? If that is the idea, it’s a bit much.. it’s only a game after all. Weird I thought anyways..

I take it a 'non arcade shooter' would be 90% military waiting and 10% frantic action?
- 4 years ago@Buzzfunk It's always been an arcade shooter.
- 4 years ago@GLOCK_IN_DA_SOCK Then we have a difference of opinion on what defines an Arcade shooter.
To me, Arcade shooters are games like Cod, halo etc. Its very easy to kill your opponent in it, at least for me. BF 3 and 4 were hard in the beginning. I died a LOT. Like a lot. I still suck at BF 1 and am better now at BF V.
2042 felt like an Arcade shooter (the beta) because i was immediately killing a lot of players (but haha no scoreboard so i have no idea really) without much effort. Granted this comes from a Doom and Quake area veteran so id say im better with mouse/keys than your average gamer. Guns had almost no recoil and there was almost zero team play (missing features didnt help of course).
So no, None of the past BF were Aracde shooters, IMO.
- RaginSam4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Buzzfunk Disagree with arcade part. Battlefield has always felt like an adult game, however the gameplay has never been realistic at all. I love that about this franchise though. I hate milsims with a passion. More recoil equals realism, right?!
I haven’t seen this commercial, but I’m sure that I would hate it to. They’re trying to market and sell the game though. I’m all for more people buying the game, that just means more people to play with. It also means that they’ll support the game better and longer if it sells well.
Every commercial isn’t for everyone. If I’m remembering correctly, in the beta characters were cursing. I’m sure the game will feel like an adult game on release.- 4 years ago
@RaginSamFirst off, don't be a smart a** 🙂. I never said more recoil=realism. I said, that the past BF games were a lot harder to learn than the 2042 beta. Which makes it more "Arcade" like to me. No one wants super realism in games anyways. Just felt like there was no strategic elements, no team play, just run and shoot. (in the beta). Hence how it ended up feeling to me.
