Wonder if it'll be worth it, I didn't play BFV much on the console, just didn't like that game much something about it.

All WW1/2 games are boring, because they want to be historically accurate they are super limited in game and map design as well as vehicle and weapon design

Ww2 dog fighting is far more fun as it is more gun based. Lock on field is pretty boring. Although AC10 was pretty fun in BF3 till they nerfed it with tanks.

I also had no problem with the variety of tanks in BFV either.

Someone shared a screen shot of the product page on the Xbox store and it showed KB&M support but I can't see it on the UK store

Well that’s good news if true. If playing K&M on the series X would you still be able to play with other console players only that are using a controller?

I've played lots of call of duty Cold War recently and they mix controller and keyboard users and multiple platforms into the same server - so I hope battlefield does the same because it was fantastic

I always switch off cross play. Don't want to play with KBM players and PC modders who have an advantage

aimless · 13 Jun 2021 at 07:41

Hopefully will be better than the rubbish that was BF5

Done - ordered it. I hope cross play with PC isn;t going to be rough on the console players, as I have a fair few workmates who will be wanting to squad up, but are on PC with KB/M

Great news about cross play!

Something I would like to know can I use one BF account for both platforms (I don’t mind buying each game for each platform). Surely it would be as simple to use the same email and password?

As I wouldn’t want to build separate accounts for each platforms, that would suck!

progression is tracked across all platforms so it will be one account (battle.net) across them all

battle.net. I thought that was for COD!?

So on my series X I just sign in with my origin login details (rather than my Microsoft account details).

But I presume I’ll have to buy a copy for my series X and my PC?

Unless a game is on gamepass, then yea you'll need two copies.

Speaking of: For some reason I'm still semi expecting a surprise day1 Gamepass reveal for this game, or at the very least some sort of Xbox tie-in.

lol my bad, I meant to type battlelog, but that was from many years ago so it might just use origin now.

Yes, you will need to buy a copy on every platform you play on.

battle.net was WoW wasn't it? Jesus so many hours...

Pre-ordered yesterday for Series X. Looking forward to october and in the mean time I'll dive into some BF4 which I'd never played and continue with BF5 which I never understood the hate for.

Think I’ll be doing the same. Gonna get the gold version (seems the best value) for the series X first now it’s going to have native K&M support/cross play, it’ll put my Razer Turret to good use and should look stunning on my 65” LG CX.

Probably pick it on PC as well sometime later now your stats will link up across different platforms.

Pre-ordered on the PS5,looking forward to this.

I hope they can revive the series.

I'll probably go for the SeriesX version as you get 10%EA Access discount and get to play it (10hrs) a week earlier than PS5.

Zatoichi.uK · 21 Jul 2021 at 10:15

£70? Think ill wait it out to arrive on game pass.

You get the discount and early access on PS4/PS5 too.

Holy smokes!
Portal is going to make this game live an awfully long time. When they said it’s a “loveletter” to the fans, they weren’t kidding
