Aaand it's official. It's probably going to be what Payday 2 would be if they let you play as the police.
Really wonder if EA is trying another CoD counter but this time using the BF name for sales. We'll see. Maybe we can get a good SP since Visceral is making it!
Unsurprised, but I'm still disappointed that BF is now annual. I'm really not gonna be motivated to pick this one up, despite actually loving BF4.
I wonder if they will stick to 64 players or decrease it to like 32/24.
They should just port the PC version of BFBC2 to the PS4 and XBOne and call it a day.
Include all expansions at that.....I would die a million deaths of joy.......
This is a spinoff by Visceral, not a DICE game. DICE will probably release a more traditional BF after they release Battlefront next year.so they've completely given up on the original Battlefield formula. it would have been nice to see something resembling BF2 on a modern engine, but it looks like that's up to someone else now.
Happy that they flat out confirmed it today instead of sitting on it forever.
The last great BF game. Seriously LOVED the MP of BC2.
hype wagon for me...
i loved the swat games, although those were slow paced.....
all we need now is a DEA agent mode, where you bust drug runners..
One of the weapons is listed as a "zipline gun" in the descriptions.
As a long time Battlefield player since '42, I can't help but feel upset at what EA is turning Battlefield into? I don't have anything particularly against this type of game, it could be great, BUT IT'S NOT BATTLEFIELD! Why are they gonna whore out the BF name this way? Why are they going to try to COD this franchise into an annual thing spread out over different developers. Ugh, I feel disgusted the more I think about it. I'll be skipping this release, as I don't want to encourage EA to shit on BF this way.
They use the BF name because loads of people know it by heart.
It it was just HARDLINE, everyone would go WTF? and never give it a second look.
EDIT8: There will be the police baton ("The police baton is used in melee combat to deter wrongdoes from bad behavior.")
You still won't get any points.Let me fly choppers. Let me fly. Let me be happy.
I hope you a can scale up buildings like a grappling hook and not just zip horizontally.
So it really is Battlefield: Payday.
Quite a trend:
-Payday series
-Monaco
-GTA 5
-Battllefield
-COD I guess
Well...
They should just port the PC version of BFBC2 to the PS4 and XBOne and call it a day.
They should remake BF2 in Frostbite 3 and sell it for $15.They should just port the PC version of BFBC2 to the PS4 and XBOne and call it a day.
I hope it's capped at 32 players. 64 player games on PS4 ran horribly... reduced framerate, choppy gameplay especially during levolution, and rubberbanding.If this is going to be a cops v. robbers games I'd have to imagine that the maps will probably be smaller, more compact, urban areas, so it wouldn't surprise me if they lower the player count. And with a lot of those types of maps on Battlefield, they don't always work with 64 players (see: Metro, Locker, Close Quarters maps, Aftermath maps), but we'll see.
Any Idea what city this takes place in?
Chicago?, New York?...
Brazil?
The new servers fixed the majority of the issues. The rubberbanding is rare to non-existent and the framerate drops don't really happen outside of certain cases of levolution. At least that's been my experience post-release of the new servers.I hope it's capped at 32 players. 64 player games on PS4 ran horribly... reduced framerate, choppy gameplay especially during levolution, and rubberbanding.
