Battlefield 1 Weapons Customization Favor Logic and Functionality

Because everyone wants to pew pew in style.

popopdc2759d ago

Its just to hide the fact there are way to few guns in this game, because open customization would be a hundred times better, don't understand you finally make a good game yet cut most of the good features from it, management in games the last 5 years has been degrading rapidly

scottypops2759d ago

Screw this customization system for those of us who actually no what we are doing with our attachments this is so restrictive it hurts the game overall. By having fixed attachments not only does it limit options and play styles it also damages progression, the progression system is so lack luster because you unlock every thing by class level 4. There is no motive to continue playing that class except that your used to it. I don't know I don't like it. It seems like battlefield is turning into a game for casuals and call of duty cross overs.

boing12759d ago

The gun I'm running with opens up at class level 10.

And historic accuracy goes flying out the window

Summons752759d ago

You do realize this game would be terrible boring if we were being historically accurate right?

KiwiViper852759d ago

Each game lasts 2 years, and everyone dies of disease, hunger or exposure. Sounds fun

Mikey942759d ago

I think that was long gone when you can Stick a Syringe in someones butt and revive them. Or the big bulletproof juggernauts.

DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 1 In The Next Game

For DICE to succeed with its next game, it has to return to the roots of the franchise. Atmospheric map design, clear and defined class-based gameplay, attention to detail, and total chaos. Battlefield 1 feels like every rock, every glint on your sniper rifle, every falling brick from a collapsing church, has been painstakingly considered. So much care went into the design of the game, from its soundtrack to its costume department. To stand a chance alongside the behemoths of Treyarch and Infinity Ward, DICE needs to recapture what made their old games so brilliant, otherwise it’s all over.

"DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 3 In The Next Game"

/Fixed

...on a serious note, DICE needs to remove the Battlefield name.

isarai554d ago

Eh, bfbc2 was the peak for me, only ad dogfighting and the accommodations that come with it. Every BF after that was such an unsatisfying progression system for weapons and gear for the classes, 90% of the guns feel exactly the same when you unlock them, just felt boring in comparison. Not to mention the gimped destruction as the series progressed

Sciurus_vulgaris554d ago

I found Battlefield 1 to be overrated. The gameplay was simpler and less strategic than its predecessors. Battlefield 1 did have a woo-factor, but the gameplay got repetitive faster than Battlefield 4 in my opinion.

porkChop554d ago

If DICE needs to return to the roots of the franchise then why would they look at Battlefield 1? BF1 is overly simplified and streamlined. What DICE should focus on is Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. Those two games were the pinnacle of the franchise.

TheEnigma313554d ago

BC2 was the best. they need to get back to that.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot784d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250783d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface783d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop783d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno783d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel784d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps783d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888783d ago (Edited 783d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33783d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888783d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH783d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

Grabbed Panzer Dragoon, the Darkness, Conker Reloaded, Burnout Revenge, Time Splitters 2, Fight Night Champions, and Stuntman Ignition.

Essentially some of the classics that I can't get on PC, now that I have a Series S.
