stupid revive system to name a few.

There was no revive system in BF1942 at all so I think complaining about reviving is a little silly as the best game in the franchise never had it

In terms of it being arcadey, they've all been arcadey

If you want more realism you would have played Project Reality or Forgotten Hope

Only things I'd change with BFV are making maps at least twice as large, remove or at least reduce sprint, add more vehicles including artillery and get rid of squad/vehicle spawning, basically make it into BF1942

Enjoyed it to be honest.

Main problem I've had is seriously suffering from crashing, longest stretch I've had is 1 hour but sometimes it'll just crash to desktop after 5 minutes of play, not fun. A Beta though at the end of the day.

I'm getting this today all of a sudden.

Most of the soldiers are working class mate. Except the officer class of course.

I heard after Liutenant major & Major you have to become a Women's Studies major before you rank upto Liutenant Commander

There should be an Edgeboi task where you sit in one of the buildings, moaning about everything while eating Doritos all day.

Excactly....

Err no they haven't.

Never said anything about realism...

Not sure you read my post correctly

Loving the gun mechanics compared to bf1. Really want to see some bigger maps as that is where bf should be concentrating.

There are more viewers on Twitch watching Football Manager than the BFV beta. Says it all really. It is not popular at all in terms of streaming numbers. Going to play a bit more just now and give it a final decision.

 

[Yadda]

Wouldn't most people that are interested in BFV be playing the game instead of watching someone else play it on Twitch, considering the beta is only open until the 11th?

I read it just fine, you asked for opinion from BF2 vets, I gave opinion

And yes they've all been arcadey, vehicles with "health", soldiers that are necromancers that can revive the dead, using a bandage to heal up a bullet wound or worse a grenade/rocket/tank explosion that likely tore off a leg, soldiers that can carry multiple RPG's AND tank mines and enough Ammo to rearm an entire army, if that's not arcade I'd love to know what your definition is

BF1942 was probably the least arcadey of the lot but even that was pretty arcadey

Just out of a really weird game, was in a tiger and had to head back to spawn to resupply, while i was resupplying i was getting kills which had me confused. Only thing i can think is the smoke i was launching was also launching anti infantry mines which they were running into, even though it still shows in the unlock tree as locked.

Tried a few more games, just feels a bit run of the mill, nothing new or interesting in it to make me want to buy it.

Feels like a jack of all trades master of none.

 

[Gerard]

Oh and here's an amazing feature, the resupply point in your main spawn can be destroyed, so there's the potential for tanks to expend all their ammo and not be able to resupply.

Presumably this was an oversight as i only noticed it when the shortbus rider i had on the top gun shot it as i was resupplying, i went out of the spawn with a grand total of 6 shells.

I think you can rebuild the supply and health stations.

 

[Gerard]

I think you can rebuild the supply and health stations.

You can but guess what happens if you do that while driving a tank? Some tool running past jumps in and drives it away while you're outside building it. Making the main spawn one indestructible just makes sense imo. Doesn't seem like most people know these can be rebuilt so waiting on a teammate to do it would take forever.

STG-44, totally fine....

Might as well be call of duty 5. Nice OP weapon.

Aye, that video speaks volumes to say the least. It's an infantry demolition machine. I'm just surprised one of the perks isn't to attach 5 more rotating barrels to it and have a 1000 round drum magazine.

Played it today, I had fun, found the game play very smooth, player movement and gun play feels right. I feel they need to tinker with the revive, bleeding out takes forever.

Did have some trouble getting it to run, it kept giving a black screen and would freeze. It seems it does not like Eyefinity, so after getting it to start in Window Mode, I had to stretch the game window to fulfil my screen.

It's been a long time since I played a BF game, I hate the idea of spending £35, but am tempted.

It's been a long time since I played a BF game,

This isn't a Battlefield game though, this is a crappy consolified CoD clone using the Battlefield name.

 

[atomic7431]

Ive had no crashes at all with this, i keep getting a bug where i get revived and it kills me anyway and then, im sat on the spawn screen with a 9 second countdown to spawn that never changes. Just sits there on 9 seconds and i have to leave the game.

Servers are taking a battering tonight, much lag and crashing. Overwhelmed probably by all the friends on my Origin list who dissed it and suddenly seem to be 'giving it a go..'
