Will the battles still sound like a bad hen's night?
* description paraphrased from Mack at WaB

Never realy got this. I love "Realism" in games but a few screaming anachronistic female soldiers isn't as rediculous as say, the absolute lack of civilian noncombatants and children getting murdered accidently on the battlefield, respawning and lack of hideous non-fatal woundings not to mention all the fancy guns that nobody actually had in these theaters, or never in such numbers for the few that were. I'm starting to judge people by which specific concessions to gameplay and accessibility they have issues with.

I'm pretty sure Mack said it in jest. I know I did. I mean it is just a game. Besides, the best screams are in AIX2.0 for Battlefield (back when Battlefield had mods). If you want to judge me because I find screams in games funny then fair enough I suppose.

I want a modern AIX2.0. Loved that mod. Sooo good.

Following the trend in recent Battlefield games I predict 2 v 2, and 4 v 4 player modes on maps that fit onto a penny, and a 250 player Battle Royale mode.

If they want anyone to buy it, yes, yes it will.

Although most of Bluesnews is probably aged out of being truly competitive online, I'll probably still check it out.

Funny, laying in bed awake last night, I was thinking about how I'll probably never play another online game, outside of maybe some phone games like Golf Blitz or Among Us. Nothing on console or PC. No time, no interest. I was kind of sad, but kind of indifferent, given that just 6 years ago, when I moved into this apartment, I bought 50ft of ethernet to ensure I could hardwire my PC to my router to have less lag. Even funnier, the PC is only about 5 feet from the router, but that 5 feet is across a floor. Instead I decided to be an adult and go around the circumference of the room. Didn't need 50 feet, probably only 30, but figured better safe than sorry (I'm probably overexaggerating both how much I needed and bought, but whatever, it was overkill.)

On the plus side, you're getting vastly faster download speeds than if you'd gone wireless.

Dammit, DICE, now I'm somewhat interested again. BF4+ or version 2.0 would be great, that was easily my favorite of the BF series.

And once again it won't have any anti-cheat on PC. BF4 is the cleanest since it has a community ban system (BF4DB), which is better than nothing.

Only 10 years from now, so likely no mechs

I guess maybe in 11-12 years we can finally get a proper return to the 2142 era?

Was hoping for 2142. I haven't even bothered getting the last few BF games bc I'm tired of the themes. Instead we get a near-future game, just like any of a dozen already released shooters.

Nice. We're overdue for an all-in Battlefield game.

It would also appear like this year’s campaign is a co-op experience.

Hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
