You know the game is cooked when a career role-player shoots 43 free throws on his way to 83 points. The current NBA couldn't have been exposed in a more embarrassing and fitting way.
I don't mind and even enjoy the occasional remastered Call Of Duty map in a new CoD. But I couldn't possibly be more tired of seeing Express, Raid, Highjacked, and Nuketown over and over again. Give us some deep cuts or give it a rest. Why is a full priced game full of old stuff?
The Halo ReReReReRemake looks ok. But why are are we even doing this? We had the OG. We had the Anniv remake. We remastered that graphical remake with MCC. Now we're graphically remaking the game again??? MS needs to sell the IP to a competent dev house. :/ #HaloCampaignEvolved
I still expect Blops7 to outsell BF6, but maybe not on PC. Both BF and CoD have their roots on the PC. CoD abandoned PC players long ago however. One could argue so has BF to some extent, but sentiment hasn't turned to the same degree. And we see this in today's player counts.
@KbUbuntu@NVIDIAGeForce 100%. One could make an argument about the industry laying off swaths of experienced talent and eventually replacing them with cheap younger devs with much less knowledge. This is how the industry is entrapping itself into a UE5 monopoly. We get pretty, but inefficient games.
Hey @NVIDIAGeForce, how long are you gonna wait to make a GPU that doesn't get its butt kicked by Unreal Engine 5? I mean even the $2500+ RTX 5090 is repeatedly getting hammered by modest looking games these days. How did the mighty Nvidia fall 5-6 years behind the software?
@TFS_Pun @Battlefield Not difficult at all. BUT, it won't happen if BF wants SBMM or engagement based matchmaking. That's the real reason server browsers went away. Until devs relinquish the desire to manipulate the strata of players that join a given server, we stay where we are. I'm not hopeful.π
@dirtydeathdog Hardline was my favorite game with the name Battlefield. But it shouldn't have been named BF because that comes with certain expectations of design. Regardless Blood Money is the best mode in the history of FPS games and I would love to see it return to any game in some form. :)
@TFS_Pun @Battlefield Agreed. By the language in the press release we've had some of the same exact changes in CoD in recent titles and it did extensive damage to the skill gap. So without another beta or a sufficient deep dive, as a fence sitter after the beta, I'm skipping the game after the change.
@TFS_Pun Yes for sure. The world is a better place when both series are in a good place. I don't want the rumored annual BF releases though, and I wish CoD would back off to every 3 years or something.
Black Ops 7 will outsell Battlefield 6. By a lot. This will happen regardless of if BO7 is a letdown or if BF6 is a return to form. You might have been fooled into thinking the BF6 Beta was the center of the universe. But the CoD playerbase didn't even drop during the beta.
@TFS_Pun @FyrBorne Wiggle your left stick in any capacity while ADSing and fire. The game basically does the rest for you. Rotational aim assist is absurdly strong.
@TFS_Pun The franchises never seem to be in direct competition. We always get the Codkiller talk. We get the marketing. At the end of the day CoD will sell huge and Battlefield will succeed or fail on its own merit no matter what the online discourse is.
So the mindset is to remove mechanics if people use them to create a skill gap. That is where the dev mindset is. CoD/Warzone has done this repeatedly and it never goes over well. I enjoyed the BF6 beta but this is a major negative change and I won't buy it.
@TFS_Pun I saw a 5070 ti at MSRP of $749 for the first time the other day. Prices are plummeting in advance of the Super series release. If you care about ray-tracing at all go with RTX. If you want your GPU to last 5 years, wait for affordable 24GB+ GPU's.
