Well...I wonder how much of that is in CoD or any of the games this has "copied".Squilookle said:Here is the list of changes, for those wondering:
While all but one of those are missing the vehicle variety that really sells Battlefield, if Warhawk ever came to PC I'd be all over it in a flash.Phoenixmgs said:
So Europe and Africa on launch again huh... Oh well.Squilookle said:
True, there ain't many shooters with vehicles in them.Squilookle said:
The maps weren't large (6v6 was the standard), but even shooting across a football field with an assault rifle, the best marksman in the world isn't going to be able to out-shoot a gamer with a controller. Also, there is no aim-assist in MGO2, wouldn't be surprised if there was some slight degree of bullet magnetism though. Most weapons were hitscan I believe though the tranq guns (pistol and sniper) weren't and you had to lead your targets. Sure, there's ways to make aiming harder in a video game but most shooters, especially anything semi-popular, do very little to make aiming and shooting much harder. Plus, the biggest trick to shooting accurately in real life isn't the actual aiming but not jerking the gun when firing.I don said:
Yes I would enjoy this campaign.Lufia Erim said:
Personally, I don't think not having a campaign will stop people from buying it, unless it's MW4. I guess we will see when BO4 comes out. I don't think a campaign should be all suffering, because that would get tiring quickly. Also you can notice that these campaigns are trying not to be all bombastic, like COD:WW2 depiction of the Holocaust, or BF1's first mission. I don't think they were very effective, but when people keep on complaining how easy, basic, and boring the campaigns are, I think you at least need to tone down the number of people you kill every level and how easy it is to kill them.Phoenixmgs said:
Are the people complaining the voice of the majority? Because complainers are usually the vocal minority, especially with regards to any kind of forum posting. Also, are the complainers still buying the product yearly?I don said:
The prosthetic is her left arm and hand, the gun she's using is a Thompson which is about 5KG-6KG - its not a BAR - and she's holding it and firing it in her right hand. The prosthetic is supporting it at the barrel, so what she's doing isn't impossible. Like wise the trench club she wallops Fritz with is wielded in her right hand, and it looks like she had a bit of a run up before lamping him.Kreett said:
More like 3%. Which comes out to over 800,000.BabyfartsMcgeezaks said:
She uses a bolt action too though. Now that seems like the kind of weapon that you might need two hands for.Gordon_4 said:
I didn't notice her using a bolt action, but I agree, that would be difficult as fuck to use with one working hand.Bob_McMillan said:
DICE has said that all soldiers in multiplayer will be customizable, so she, just like the rest of the outrageous crew (seriously, no one has anything to say about the paratrooper with the Katana, the black guy in a weird mix of tanker, paratrooper and infantry gear and two pairs of goggles or the dude running around in a tank top and non-regulation beard?) is probably meant as a showcase of what kind of customization you can achieve in multiplayer.Bob_McMillan said:
Not really. Any shooter worth their damn, especially of the sharpshooter or sniper variety, will cycle the bolt without taking the rifle off their shoulder. When you do it that way you are using your shoulder as a brace for the rifle, which means that whether you've got a stable grip on the front hand guard or not isn't important. The point of doing it like that is to preserve your aim for a follow up shot and it is pretty basic drill for bolt action rifles.Gordon_4 said:
To be fair the overwehelming majority of female British soldiers served in AA batteries as spotlight operators, or nurses, or as unofficial prostitutes in the ATS and specifically didn't see frontline European theater action.Adam Jensen said:
"Mostly" =/= "all". Like, keep going down the page.MC1980 said:
The irony is that the same can be said of male British soldiers. For every man on the frontline there were 20 behind him making sure he was clothed, fed and given the weapons and ammo necessary for him to fight. They all contributed vital work towards the defeat of Nazi-Germany, but the simple truth is that the stories about the guys who were at the front and did the physical fighting are more compelling. The same is true for the women, because there were many British women who ended up in combat by chance or choice, especially the many women who were with the OSS and spent a lot of time during the liberation of France leading resistance fighters in attacks on the Germans, acting as scouts and pathfinders for the allied armies etc..Silentpony said:
I don't think anyone is saying that there weren't women in the war, but what's the ratio to men? 1,000,000/1? Less maybe? So to be realistic and immersive, say 1 player of all the players of BFV gets to be a female soldier, total. If the game sells 2million copies then a second female soldier is unlocked.Gethsemani said:
They rather explicitly aren't. Just like how BF1 wasn't anywhere near remotely realistic, considering that several of the guns you regularly saw in matches were made in less than a hundred copies (ie. most of the semi-automatic rifles) and some of them weren't even on the battlefields of world war 1 or didn't make it past prototyping (the Hellriegel). If you can accept a game that has four British dudes in WW1 charging across no man's land with Hellriegel's after putting a remote detonation explosive atop a zeppelin and parachuting off of it with said prototype SMGs blazing, only to land next to a British squad in an A7V (total number built 20-ish, which is what you see in about five hours of BF1) joining the assault, but feel that the inclusion of women or black people in exaggerated amounts in a WW2 setting is were realism breaks that really does say more about you and your perceptions on realism and immersion then it does DICE or EA.Silentpony said:
That's actually my main objection to the game myself funnily enough. Well, for the marketing and presentation at least, I;m not going to look down on people for playing it or anything.Gethsemani said:
