Its expensive for a game for sure.
However it can give you a couple of years or more daily fun and enjoyment.
Beats a lot of things for entertainment
I likely spent more on path of exile packs than battlefield games.
and besides, I saved money not buying bf1 and BFV so

its not that expensive.

Its standard PC game price of £40 or so.

I don’t think anyone should take the price of £ 33.99 for granted thats way better then the rrp and probably exclusive to CDkeys.

never played a minute of single player in any battlefield game

agree its a complete waste of resources which can be focused on the multiplayer

This, if people want a single player game, get something like Control or Metro. Battlefield and COD should be SP only

 

[Nevakonaza]

I wonder if they will have all that premium crap this time, Where if you have premium account you can skip waiting lines on servers etc. Never agreed with that personally.

 

[Game]

well I used to agree with reserved spots but then if you pay for a server its different

Yup, a waste of development time. Their campaign modes are generally very clunky as well, I doubt many even bother with them.

The problem is though you can never judge this until after you have played the game, or at least have decent reviews form people you can trust. As of now we don't know if the game will be good or not. If the games is good on release and continues to be supported then it can be great value. If the game is a broken mess that is unplayable / infested with hackers / it get support & updates pulled after less than a year and therefore you only play it for an hour before giving up then it is terrible value.

The alpha is invite only and I’m pretty sure they said it was only going to be battlefield content creators and the like that get invites.

If this is true, I can't be the only person this is setting off red flag for? The whole thing will just be a marketing exercise. Also limiting it to content creators all of whom will have agreements with EA marketing, I can already predict what they will say about it. It will be the "BEST GAME EVER!!!"

Don't think I've ever played a BF game, yet there's a lot of positive hype about this one. I've watched the trailer, but yet to see any actual game play. Has any of the latter been released?

We will see gameplay footage on Sunday.

The article I read used the term "Battlefield veterans" which was explained as BF content creators and community people and you would be under nda etc. I would love some more casual players to get invites but I guess we will just need to wait and see.

Nice! Hopefully you get one for the upcoming test.

 

[Yaayuh!]

It was a joke at the expense of EA and releasing Battlefield games in a poor state and spend the first few months buggering about with it.

you never know

Almost certain one of the clan will if not

Haha sorry dude I just scanned it and didn't see the wee winky face. I really hope they can hit the ground running with this one.

 

[Scooter72]

I'm looking forward to this and going to stay positive that its 'fully baked' when it's released Trailer was ok, stuffed with lots of only in Battlefield moments but want to see some gameplay now.

 

[Sp00n]

I wouldn't mind seeing some long necks again for a laugh

I ordered the multi language version as that was the first one that came up in my search at CD Keys, it was £ 34.99. Not going to cancel and reorder the English version for £ 33.99, I’m not that tight lol.

I’ve paid with PayPal so should give me some cover in case of problems.
