Battlefield 5 - going back to WW2

[Deathsquid]

Oh man it sure looks like WW2 was fun, people jumping into houses and stealth-taking down nazis, jumping onto tanks and having cybernetic limbs.

Why the fuck do people say war is hell anyway? Surely they mean HELLA FUN

Hopefully there's like diesel mechs too, I'd love to play a diesel mech in a WW2 simulator game like this new Battlefield

They really shouldn't even bother replying to people on Twitter because your grounds for defense are so fucking small there that you just cause more damage from it. No one is gonna take a game where you have female british amputee soldiers as historically accurate.
Also, this has the worst like/dislike ratio of any Battlefield trailer on Youtube. The dislikes went from 70k to 134k just today, while likes went from around 150k to 168k.

Inb4 Wolfenstein is a more realistic and accurate WW2 shooter.

By the way, I just found out about Battlefeminist not via the Codex or the wider Internet, but through a longtime Steam friend who is a horrible sexist basement-dweller.

Only kidding, she's actually a married woman with a toddler and she usually slurps up popamole like candy.

 

[Daedalos]

As I said tho, it's more than likely, that the trailer is just singleplayer shenanigans and all that popamole shit.

The actual real multiplayer gameplay trailer has yet to be revealed, to show how the game ACTUALLY plays out, instead of some cgi movie from ww2.

BF1 had cgi intro trailers, too, and the gameplay trailer only came later, and was much better than the first ones..

eh well see

TLDR: Trailer is shit, but that doesn't mean the game is. Wait and see.
Also amputee women has no business in a WW2 shooter.

Also amputee women has no business in a WW2 shooter.

Are you suggesting they should... cut some content?

 

[Blaine]

Daedalos Well, yeah, it's an EA game. The track record has shown that three hundred million fucktards will buy every new EA game no matter what.

I haven't bought an EA game since years before Origin existed, and probably the only genuinely good game (or so I hear) that I really missed out on was Dead Space.

 

[Daedalos]

EA shooters are not bad.

Battlefront 2 is a solid game, if you overlook the MTX debacle, the game itself is fucking kickass.

Battlefield 1, solid solid WW1 shooter, had a ton of fun.

I suspect I will have a ton of fun with WW2, too, despite the grievances.

It surprises me that they keep pushing these insulting fake gameplay trailers, reminds me of the infamous Killzone 2 video.
Anyway, it's EA and a AAA franchise, what did you expect?

But if they really wanted diversity and some respect for history, they could have put together:

A Sikh officer with a huge knife.
A muslim SS volunteer with a flamethrower.
A native American with a mohican and warpaint.
A female Soviet partisan with a couple of PPSH.

 

[Maggot]

DoI has historically accurate divisions and stuff like buffalo soldiers for variety.

this game was fun

Man this is seriously good. 100x better than official trailer. And the old 1942 theme fits well.

Reactions from a certain other board

it's reassuring to see that they haven't lost the good manners of Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot, even though they insist that the purges weren't real communism

 

[unfairlight]

We need more white male protagonists.

 

[Alienman]

Battlefield 1 was shit too though.

 

[unfairlight]

I think BF1 was the cut off point where they decided to succumb to the SJW bullshit and they stopped being able to capture the gameplay and feeling they have done for over 10 years already. Anything before that in the main series was generally good. I have yet to play BF1, but to those that have, were there any large scale levolution events like BF4? From all the gameplay I have seen, the level design seems far worse and the sense of scale really is not there.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHA
What a disaster. They are trying so hard to shut down any negative comments on this game. Their trailer has all the comments constantly deleted and they blatantly just took down a parody because it shined a negative light.

They are always so damn aggressive when they try to lecture.

Go away bigot! But read this article.
