Multi only? Wtf?

Global warming > WW3

 

[MxPhenom 216]

So hyped I scored a 3080Ti. This game looks amazing.

Multi only? Wtf?

The only good campaigns, anyway, were the heavily scripted vehicle missions. All the infantry missions had horrible AI, basically multiplayer bots doing basic cover maneuvers cycling between spots. The effort should be focused on netcode and smoothing out the multiplayer, especially if they are pushing 128 or more simultaneous players.

Good...

 

[Mindweaver]

I just want 2143.. A successor to 2142. This has promise but I want mechs and hovering ships and eject pods from ships and transports.. lol

You can play against bots though, hopefully 127 of them.

Multi only? Wtf?

This argument has been dead for FPS games for years. Yes a very small minority prioritize an enjoyable campaign, but it's exactly that a VERY small minority.

As for the trailer, looks like BF of old so I'm excited. Although the military person in me was cringing at the amount of flagging in the container scene.

Might pre-order for beta access once some more details come out.

well, with 63 against 64

 

[chr0nos]

Really hope they dont do the crap weapon selection from BF1/BFV and be more like BF3/BF4

 

[oobymach]

Made by EA so I'd rather set my money on fire and watch it burn than give it to EA. If I wanted an unfinished game full of bugs that will never be patched I'd get it but I know EA and this is poison in disguise.

Multi only? Wtf?

oof that sucks.

 

[uco73]

Multi only? Wtf?

EA no more ideas for good game. No more ideas for good games......maybe indie teams.

 

[Space Lynx]

this game doesn't look too bad, not too interested though. I'm more excited to go play Wizard of Legend though... so my tastes have changed over the years I am afraid.

I think this will be a good game though 100%

 

[tabascosauz]

oof that sucks.

I know I don't like MP-only games, but in all fairness they aren't wrong when they claim they're "going back to their roots". BF1942, BF2, BF2142 all didn't have a dedicated campaign; yes, there was the "singleplayer" tab but it was just the same maps with bots. BC/BC2 was legendary, BF3's campaign was decent but rough around the edges when replayed, BF4's was pretty much fantasy dogshit, Hardline was alright but unlikely to be so story-driven in any other game, BF1 and BFV......well......

So I thought I'd be mad at first, but honestly a story-driven campaign like COD has never been BF's strong suit. And so while a campaign-less COD is destined to become a dumpster fire (BO4), it actually kinda makes sense for BF.

If what they say is true, I think I will like it. Same maps, as long as with half-decent bots, as well as weapon progression against AI (allegedly according to EA), would be great. After my BF3 and CSGO years I think I'm done with online PvP permanently - or, at least if I have to grind 100% of the way in online servers. Still can be fun with friends and/or in moderation.

That is, if what they say is true. This is EA after all. Meaning, lay off the preorders if you have any semblance of long-term memory.

meh /shrug. I have no intention on getting into some argument about business or franchise direction. The decision to go MP only, sucks for me. I won't pickup the game, or any future FPS that is like this but that's really my problem.

IMO without a single player campaign its no better than a reskin. I cant shake that on a subconscious level so I won't spend my money.

 

[The red spirit]

I highly disagree. It makes game for me literally unplayable as I avoid multiplayer like plaque.

 

[Tomgang]

So hyped I scored a 3080Ti. This game looks amazing.

I scored a GTX 1660 SUPER and that is so awesome, cause it is so powerful... And wait. No it's horrible slow

Will have to wait and see if 1660 super can handle this new game.

Same here but yea I know that multi is a big thing nowadays. 'not a fan of this trend one bit'
Multi only games especially FPS = hard pass for me. 'Last time I played a multi FPS was back in the UT 2004/CS 1.6/Source days but I'm not interested anymore in such'

I did play most of the CoD and BF games single player parts and I kinda had fun with them for what its worth.

If I could at least play vs bots 100% with no option for others to join in then that would be something at least.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Daniel Berlin is the lead designer??? If that is the case im going to touch this with an extremely long barge pole. He is another reason for me to be extremely cautious of the game.

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

100% agree. Every game since BF3 has been a reskin with some minor tweaks.

 

[64K]

I don't buy games that are multiplayer focused because that means that there will be cheaters also. imo cheaters take the fun out of the game.

It's inevitable that wherever there are rankings and scores there will be cheaters also.

 

[Tomgang]

1660S can handle most modern AAA titles at 1080 with ease and I doubt FB2042 will be an exception because EA is not interested in selling a game to the select few who own RTX 3090.

1660 super was never a part i wanted. But I'm forced to go with it as this is the fastest card I cut get my hands on do to this gpu shortage.

I wanted rtx 3080 or 3080 ti and I have a 1440P 144 Hz monitor and I want graphics cranked to 11 and get high fps at the same time. I'm originally coming from a gtx 1080 TI that is faster than 1660 super. For not to forget the new system i just begin to build, it dosent quite fit in there, it's just to low end. 6 GB vram is also to the small size in 2021. No 1660 super is not what I wanted or is satisfied with. But it's what I got and cut find for now. It's will be replaced when I can get a proper gpu fit for my needs.

 

[InhaleOblivion]

Yeah wake me up once they get to WWIV after 2142. Maybe it will be like "The Colony" and we fight with 2 opposing alien factions utilizing their tech in 2242 based off the timeline they're using for the upcoming game.
