Battlefield 1: Designed to Sell, Not to Play

[@narata1541]

Tony Peluso Keyboard or not, it's still impressive. I see many keyboard and mouse players not playing with his skill.

[@MoldMonkey93]

Narata Oh, it is.. just had me thinking because he mentions that shit about trying to shoot someone and it pushes aim away. I thought I was bugging. However, yes, alot of those shots at the beginning were very bad ass.

[@lauri2047]

I obviously agree with most, if not all criticism presented, but I need to point out a few things: • Performance got worse over time with patches. The issue here is not graphics, these don't really change very often down the line after release. CPU usage is the problem here. On launch, I was getting steady 80-90, sometimes even +100 fps on my CPU (i5-4590) while playing CQ 64p. Last time I played BF1 (about a month ago, as of writing this comment), I usually dropped below 60. I shit you not. 20+ framerate drop is not something that just *happens*. Plus there's the microstuttering problem introduced with the new assignments. All of this while my GPU (R9 390 back then, GTX 1070 Ti now) is basically asleep (max 70% for 390, 35-40% for 1070 Ti). I can drop the graphical settings as much as possible and it wouldn't change a thing: my CPU is going full throttle, and GPU's like "gimme something to do dammit". The more you think about it, the worse it gets because it's not only more expensive to replace the CPU (since you usually have to cash out for a new motherboard as well, maybe new RAM even), but also harder to not screw things up while replacing a CPU if you're not good with PC parts. Not to mention console players who not only suffer the same performance issues as PC players do, but are also incapable of upgrading their hardware beyond buying a PS4 Pro/Xbox 1 X, which as far as I know, won't really help on the CPU front too much. • UI customization things that didn't carry over from BF4 That's something not a lot of people know, and while I'm not a game developer by any means, I do have some basic knowledge how AAA studios operate. The issue here is BF1's codebase was Battlefront 2015. By "codebase" I mean that Battlefield 1 was based off of Battlefront 2015's engine, quite literally. DICE took BFront2015 and added/removed assets and features as needed. A practise that's very common within the industry since it's very origin. You can actually see this in game, since there's some left-over assets, like grenade throwing or vaulting animations. Another thing to understand is how BF4 was maintained by DICE LA, while DICE Stockholm was working on Battlefront 2015, Mirror's Edge: Catalyst and whatnot. They're two separate studios, working on two different versions of the engine, for different games. While DICE Stockholm theoretically *could* carry over DICE LA's UI customization over to Battlefront 2015 and later Battlefield 1, I'm sure it wasn't as simple as copy-pasting few lines of code, therefore it was probably deemed unnecessary/too time consuming, thus too expensive, to re-implement these features fully as they were present in BF4. All that said, great vid. I hope you'll record your thoughts on BFV from what we know so far (if you haven't already), since Duck noped out of Battlefield some time ago and I'd really appreciate an opinion on the matter of somebody who has competitive background.

[@jaku8513]

Battlefield 1 also had a CPU usage bug, forcing your CPU to 100% usage at all times resulting in unplayable FPS. I can play a few rounds with flawless performance, come back 2 hours later, play the same mode and maps and get 100% usage and unplayable FPS.

[@RUsOmaDDbrO]

I recently upgraded my system, with a new R5 2600x i now get max. 70-90 fps (all low settings on 720p mind you). Its almost at a point where pubg gives me better frames, and that game is a fucking mess. Id like to imagine that you dont have to own a flagship top-end CPU for a BF title to get decent frames but maybe im wrong. As for BFV, looks like they are trying way too hard to include every feature that is "hot" right now. Building, Battle Royale (wtf), etc. and then just throw in some *FREE* DLC and some Diversity and itll sell like, i dont know something that sells really well. And im just here thinking, "Hey BF has plenty of own great gamemodes that you wont find anywhere else, how about we fix Conquest first? Or bring back Rush, or maybe CQ-Assault?" But right now it looks to me exactly like the title of this video states: "designed to sell, not to play" Im always happy to be proven wrong though....

[@jaku8513]

Half the new features are gimmicks to sell, building is a total gimmick. Also the minimum specs for BF1/BFV is an i5 6600K. So good luck.

[@Swock010]

Ima keep it real w you chief aint nobody reading that whole paragraph

[@jaku8513]

It's like 30 seconds of reading.

[@Futives]

this was a perfect video regarding the problems in battlefield, hopefully this gets shared enough to the point to where someone in DICE or EA will see this be able to change things to make the next battlefield better, nice job

[@kimeiga]

I like your ability to critique all the elements of the gameplay that need it, while also give credit where it is due. This was refreshingly analytical, and as a hobbiest FPS game developer myself, I hope to learn from the mistakes made here. Also thank you for realizing that Battlefield is at its core an arcade shooter and there isn't much ability to make it more realistic without large deviations from the base gameplay

Of course you agree, you're a total bitch who thinks how he's told to think.

[@cinemapigeon4898]

As someone who really likes ranked modes in other video games (Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege, even COD via GB, etc...) Battlefield is in desperate need of a ranked playlist where players of similar skill come together to play, it would make matches incredibly intense and more fun I believe. Imagine 32v32 where every single player cares about winning, not losing their rank, etc... the teamwork, communication, etc... would all be a step above what we normally get in public matches. I fear it's way too complicated to implement, though, but it could make Battlefield the best competitive multiplayer experience. Imagine coordinating which classes would be used, vehicle use, timing and strats, etc.... almost every match would be exhilarating, it would also ensure high player counts, since the games I mentioned above and more (like Overwatch) all have massive and active player bases years after release.

[@girateagainstyournan6117]

You're mom goes to college

[@brendanmerkel4857]

Awesome video. You clearly pointed out a lot of the things that make this game really frustrating, and you did it expertly and concisely. I wish this series didn't regress so much, and so often.

[@TheSillyMuffin]

Excellent video. I wanted to do a response video but I dont think I want to anymore, pretty much everything was on point here. This is my take though As of now, Ive played BF1 a total of 1300+ hours, and gotten 199000 kills. I have around 600 hours in BF4, and around 200 in BC2. I play with a competitive platoon in BF1, and the platoon has won 3 championships so far. The competitive scene is very small true, but it is there. I consider BF1 to be the best Battlefield game Ive ever played, only barely winning over BC2. I think BF1 did a lot of amazing things for the franchise, for example the class balancing and gun balancing is honestly incredible - every class has a clear defined purpose that a team will benefit from, and 99% of guns in the game are perfectly viable, including multiple skill cannons. Another one is game modes, Frontlines and Operations are both great when played by equal teams, and Frontlines in itself might be the best Battlefield competitive game mode we have seen so far. The added focus on history/codex was also really fun and interesting, despite the fact that the game itself has black germans and female snipers. Theres really nothing quite like BF1 when it comes to the "feeling" of war, charging down a hill with 20 teammates, all shouting out war cries. A lot of the positivity I have for the game stems from the excellent atmosphere. As far as gameplay goes, I have almost never had a big problem with random bullet deviation. Its a pretty excellent balancing tool, which prevents people from microbursting from 200 meters - but suppression is horrible. The sheer fact that youre getting shot at should be enough to make you take cover, not some invisible force guiding your hand. The main issue I had with BF4 and to some extent BC2 is that you could be effective absolutely everywhere. The guns had very minimal recoil, very minimal spread and very fast TTK. Coupled with the atrocious class balancing, playing any other class other than assault was honestly a waste of time. Classes didnt really matter and didnt have defined roles, because of everyones ability to use carbines/DMRs. The way I always saw it was this - BF4 was a lot more about aiming skill/positioning, whereas BF1 was a much more mobile, agile movement based arcade shooter where aim skill could be worked around with those mechanics. The slide nerf was in fact horrible. I honestly dont want to go back to BF4s system of weapon handling/recoil, because that just makes the gunplay feel incredibly repetitive and dull after a few matches at most. The dynamic range/class/gun balancing of BF1 is absolutely incredible and which has kept me coming back for a lot of time so far. But even I cant ignore the ridiculous buggy nature of the game and how issues present in BF3 still exist today. DICE as a company is and always has been visual flair/blockbuster first, gameplay second or third. Whether it be BF4s levolution or BF1s destruction/behemoths, they are making million dollar games that millions of people buy every year. The reveal event for BFV is pretty much the culmination of that - a lot of empty PR talk vaguely describing what the game will have, and a cinematic trailer with an incredibly unfitting tone. The added political correctness is also baffling at best and annoying at worst. I really do truly love BF1. It has a lot of things going for it, from map design, class balancing, range/gunplay balancing.... every day I play the game I can find something to enjoy and satisfy me. But at the same time, every day I play the game I encounter the same bugs, same dumbass teammates, same annoying OP nonsense vehicles, and annoyances. So much incredible potential completely lost on a playerbase that buys the game, and after a week 70% leaves.

Marksman 5147 i dunno about ESB, im on console. Ive never heard of that

[@thornorium8983]

Thoroughly enjoying commentary on your thoughts of the BF1 experience. You should do more videos like these on the games you enjoy, you have a solid or what I can see as a solid sense of what is good/fun gameplay for more experienced players, especially veteran players of the Battlefield series since the simplified mechanics in BF1. Great watch, glad I came across your channel, can't wait for more!

[@godavell]

i think you should have also mentioned the low headshot multiplier but still great video one more thing id add is the lack of hard indestructible cover in the recent games as having everything indestructible is just random and unpredictable

[@saddlepiggy]

I played BF1 for a few hours on my friends PC once, and overall, the movement felt clunky. Not clunky like in a low budget game. It was smooth, but it felt physically clunky, like it was locking you to a grid or something when you stopped. It was weird.

[@brendanfitzgerald7860]

This video is so amazing!!!! I've been complaining about these things for so long and they have stayed the same or just gotten worse. I hope some developers see this and actually make some change to the next game. They better or their attempt at Incursions will be totally stupid.

[@dombird98]

Same, and when you post about it on forums, you'll just get shit on.

Uhm... That looked a bit sketchy at 3:10

[@MettZilla]

look at the flick of the wrist... LuL

[@ThePegleggedpirate]

I was literally about to post the same thing but decided to check the comments first. That was some really obvious snapping to an enemy I didn't even see at first. I also noticed a lack of any noticeable recoil as all his shots were dead on in the previous clips.

[@ThePegleggedpirate]

[@dombird98]

Yeah, I thought I was the only one with this opinion because any time I would post about any of the mentioned issues I would just get shit on and called names.

[@n8zog584]

I agree with almost everything you said however i did want to bring up a few thoughts. 8:30 okay, but many of the bf4 movememt mechanics were straight up bugs, glitches, or otherwise unintended. I dont think thats a good comparison. 14:50 Battlefield 2 had worse grenade spam if you can believe it, largely because re-arming periods on grenades were basically instantaneous. I did very much appreciate your mention of bf1's gunplay, because at its core, the random bullet deviation can be mitigated in many instances by simply not spam-firing. This is not always the case, but i feel it is an important distinction.

Some of these complaints are dumb. You can’t change directions midair because that’s not how physics work. I do agree with a lot of your points tho.

[@dielfonelletab8711]

Gameplay > realistic physics.

[@Yumabillion]

I'd rather have realistic physics than better gameplay in many scenarios

[@Swock010]

Tbh Ive never seen such a bitchy player base like battlefield idk what it is

[@veganrising1082]

i agree alot want realism no women no prototype weapons and so on, then you have a whole other group saying why is this realistic thing here, we want gameplay, then when elements are added to appease these groups then the features arnt how they want them or dice is crowd pleasing. no game is ever 100% perfect, and battlefield has a large player base, yes veterans such as myself love realistic features and squad play but a whole new set of players have joined over the years and dice must make efforts to bring things to the game that will make it most enjoyable for the most amount of people. They wont get it right every time but i do believe battlefield is constantly refining their formula to find something that will be great. A great example is bfv look at how hated it is simply for trying to innovate. Do i agree with all the changes? of course not, but i do see that dice is trying to improve gameplay experience and to really listen to the community, and i also understand the whole community doesnt want the same things as me.

[@Chopstorm.]

Bob Pickleson Half the vehicles in this game break physics anyways. Just look at the planes.

[@michaelevangelista6396]

Nickel, your Battlefield 1 settings link is faulty. Please fix it. Thanks

[@1kreature]

At 13:50 you demonstrate the suppression and suddently you can't hit shit. But you didn't appear to even notice it for the earlier 13 minutes or running around spraying or popping one-shot-kills like they were tictacks. I'd like another explenation than "I'm just good" please?

[@untypebanalsuryoutube8076]

u sucks?

[@dylf14]

is 19:55 really less cluttered than 19:59 ?

[@uToxicCake]

I don't get why "casual" is bad. I super enjoy casual games. I want to feel relaxed when I play game. Don't get me wrong, competitive is fun too, like in CSGO. But I love the chill atmosphere in BF1. Love the planes, (tanks not too much but still better than BF4) and motorcycles. Great analysis on the video. Very critical, some things I agree, some not. But there is no doubt you are good at this shit. I want to end on this : I love Battlefield 1.

[@uToxicCake]

Glad to have someone understand me :)

[@salamanderxbrookfield4011]

casual itself isnt bad but what is meant with casual is actually removing skill gaps which is a bad thing. A game that doesnt reward good players can not really be enjoyed by anyone who has fun in improving. His criticism is coming from a competetive player who likes the core idea of the BF franchise. IMO improving is what makes PvP games fun, if you want to play a game where there is basically no skillgap and thus no skill required you might as well play a singleplayer or coop game. Imagine football but the players have a set limit to how fast they are allowed to run.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

Just saying but if my team starts to lose the lead or has the opportunity to take the lead I don't want the people I depend on to be "relaxing".

[@uToxicCake]

Its not that. Thats just lack of common sense and I just want to add that non PTFO players are not "relaxing" they're simply not playing the game. Thats different. I was just saying that I don't think that every game should have the level 140's win EVRERY single gun fight without giving everyone at least a CHANCE.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

That's a balance issue, not a casual/hardcore divide.

[@Frank-uk3oq]

What you oversee is, that most games are not made for elite players but more for casuals. From my personal non casual perspective, I totally agree on you. This game did not fix most of its majority issues. I mean, is it still possible to hide in the bunker and protect the flagg at Monte Grappa rush?

[@iysaw]

A minute into the video and I already agree with you 100%... I've been saying the mechanics of BF1 are garbage since the Beta. I find the dislikes on this to be absolutely hilarious, because you know they're all from (what the game was designed for) newbies & casuals.

[@raTTy_auT]

thats weired, because i am nearly on minute 3 and he is still introducing himself. but maybe you agree on that. i mean i do. he shure knows who he is.

[@Sonikks]

Elite Classes and Behemoths got annoying very fast for me, I agree. I'm actually surprised they weren't Operations exclusive already. The TankGewher is just... so much fun to play because of how powerful it is but you are just unstoppable if you keep your distance.

[@thetinusnl8834]

AMEN. I don't know what kind of education you've had/are having, but I'm interested if you've ever considered studying gametechnology/design or something similar? Players with insights like you mentioned in the video would be a great addition to any game studio.

[@nickelbf]

Unfortunately I'm more interested in politics and history than game design. I was thinking about writing a paper on the Battlefield game of my dreams that is set in an alternative reality Cold War though. But then again I don't want to the job of DICE and EA for free...

[@thetinusnl8834]

On top of that, knowing that a BF games takes a lot of research time (at least that's what they make players believe) I doubt they will even consider reading a paper like that. I admire your interest in involvement in the community.

[@xCCflierx]

I like it. Not nearly as much time spent in the BF series, i played some of 3,4 hardline, 1. Main reason i bought a gaming pc was because of bf4, and how bf3 was already so taxing. But 24:30 is too much opinion then actual fact. We aren't devs, we are players. We cannot dictate what direction the devs take. BF1 may have failed, but the idea can still work! Games are a sort of art and if we try to say that trying to fuse 2 niches of video games is impossible then nobody would try. I personally would love to see a realistic military shooter like arma, but also really competitive. It has to be possible, because if real war isn't competitive, then why would anyone wage war in the first place?

[@badbadnotgoodgoodgodnotbad2930]

What should have been mentioned: no unlimited sprint, no auto health and armour regeneration, increased recoil or bullet variation in hip fire and scope, decreased point reward system, bring back commander mode, decrease HUD clutter, team worm based gameplay What was mentioned: game physics to increase lonewolf run and gun, sick 20+ kill streaks

[@untypebanalsuryoutube8076]

because just use your head dude (no offense), play any bf game after bf3 and u will see, full of retards and i don't want to depend of them, same for nickel etc and even for guys playing bf casually. If u get a squad working together, u will wreck everything there is just no doubt about that so yeah i am tired of ppls who wants to bring good players down only to feel like they are usefull, like they are part of something even if they are bad. Players like nickel always carry their team because of THEIR individual "lone wolf" skills and what i mean by carrying is making it win, even terrible players start playing better with this kind of players in their team. Bf is fine as it is, if you are a lone wolf you will have troubles against squads playing together, even if it's composed by "bad" players.

Have you seen Moïse? He was there a moment ago...

[@Falloutrip]

Honestly I was prepared to disagree on a lot since you stated you're a competitive player, but I think you nailed everything. The *only* thing I disagree on was the movement and not being able to jump shot which I've been fine with not having. According to BF watcher I'm somwhere in the top 10-12% of infantry players. It's amazing to see the difference between even myself and you. I've got a long way to go!

[@MushroomCloudGaming]

Fantastic video, but its time to write my essay xD Its interesting cause I adore BF1 and have never been a conquest player in any of the games. I never enjoyed the mode but I can see why CQ is even worse in BF1. The behemoths in particular are a joke. - I am not a huge fan of elites but them being battlefront heroes is a bit of a stretch. I think of them as pseudo vehicles which can be countered by all classes (and instantly with Rockets/bayonets etc). I prefer they were balanced better like with their own hitmarkers & movement sounds as they are nowhere near as obvious as the potentially more frustrating tanks but not realy cause they are more obvious (tanks)[The perosa is a joke though]. Also I noticed how annoying they are more since they don't exist in my primary game mode, Frontlines Movement; First a small suggestion, perhaps future games should SEPERATE vault from jump as this is something that has been happening since BF3 & is extremely annoying. High FOV seems to make it worse too, which is unfortunate because anything lower than 100 makes me sick. I agree for the most part, though again BF1's crouch slide makes good/bad players quite distinctive. HOWEVER, it is only really super effective for high sensitivity players such as myself and not the more typical low sensitivity (For reference 1200DPI 10% for me). This is because DICE tied the crouch slide to a sensitivity reducer, which feels awful. Ambivalent to the BF4 style jumping but from a competitive perspective I do agree. I have substituted that by crouch slide or prone crouch slide to get into cover & that works most of the time (Cause my sens is high). Wouldn't mind BFV I think your criticism is more from a reactive point of view, e.g I know that the Gas mask takes x amount of time to equip so I prepare for that. BF1 pushes more the pro-active over the reactive element, which is realistically closer to Pre BC2 titles. No animation cancel is stupid though & is very jarring. Still, I have no problem with having a more reactive single Gas in general is stupid. Area denials don't work in a 32/64 player game. They are just spammy. Gunplay & Suppression; Nothing to say, been trying to preach it. Bullet trails would be amazing. BFV seems to have fixed suppression. Love your suggestions. Grenades are awful, but you should see Battlefield 2 (comment cracked me up :P). As I said earlier, Area denial weapons as grenades just DO NOT WORK. The fire grenade in particular is so stupid, it is both a denial & an impact weapon. It is a crutch for both bad & good players. Lighting & Graphics Oh good god. We made a great looking game.... and then covered it in awful post processes effects that break down gameplay. Monte grappa bunkers are the worst because of this Biggest issue with BF1's perf issues are its insane CPU requirments. I run an overclocked 6700k and it just drops suddenly from 100 to 70 on Amiens. My friend's 4570k can barely keep a solid 60 on that map, and high FPS is out of the question. GPU usage is actually very low as was t he case with BF3 & BF4. Frontlines/RUSH are far less problematic though. Sound; Agree, SLINK is was a bad addition imo, inconsistency... as you said with most of the perks. I don't think they are necessary tbh. I don't actually like the sprint speed since I do like to time & ambush e enemies. I just don't think specs are needed & shouldn't be added just because of traditionalism/progression. I still consider BF1 to be my favourite out of the series, but I definitely understand your POVs. I think more youtubers need to take a listen. Alot of what you said do not necessitate someone to be a competitive player (it helps). There are other issues I have with the game but I typed alot... Conclusion The KZbin community should do more research before talking about things and try and address the real issues, as you have done here. Also a small side note; Elites & Behemoths are confirmed NOT to be in BFV.

[@wnxdafriz]

man... this gameplay made me think of the character I used to play on mag for ps3.... i want mag back... being able to personalize all your gear and modify weapons to what you wanted was insane

[@somerandomdude769]

fcknmrcls What is your problem?

[@TheRealNeonwarrior]

Red Orchestra 2 does suppression very well; when shot at, your character will flinch and their hands get unsteady. However, your gun remains 100% accurate, meaning you can still theoretically shoot the guy suppressing you. That's what I want to see in BFV.

[@moe_lester2628]

Every problem i have with the game you have perfectly described. Nice work man

[@Coleslaw693]

Honestly this was my favorite Battlefield game, and I've played this franchise since BC2. Don't get me wrong just about everything in this video you brought up is absolutely true. But I enjoyed this game immensely. I was in love with the setting, the look, the audio, and so many other aspects. Something about this game just made me love it. Hate me for saying it but after about 22 days in Battlefield One I still look back and appreciate the FUN times it gave me. I know just about everything was backwards in this game and this review is accurate I just had so much fun.

[@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz]

I wish more people focused on the issues you bring up. To me they're the most important thing about the game. Most people seem to talk about customization, progression, graphics, "cool" new weapons (that are rarely better than the vanilla ones) and other things that are secondary issues to me. The real problem with BF1, as you point out here so well, is that the core gameplay mechanics are either broken, dysfunctional, or inconsistent. Many people actually become physically exhausted by playing this game for more than a few minutes because the movement system is so clumsy and limited. You're constantly straining to move around quickly and play the best you can, but the game itself fights you and holds you back (literally - I often feel and see bullets I know that I should have dodged catching me and physically pulling my character back to where I was a half-second ago). And constantly being delayed and having to struggle when you come up against even minor physical obstacles ruins the flow of gameplay. Not to mention getting you killed in stupid ways. At the same time you're struggling to get around and use your weapons efficiently, you're being bombarded with overpowering visual and audio stimuli that keeps you amped up and excited, but you can never quite pull off the moves you want to make. It's exhausting and frustrating. This game came so close to being a truly great game, and many of the individual elements are amazing, but they never managed to pull together the core elements the way it should have been done. Instead of satisfying their established playerbase by fixing these basic, fundamental problems and accepting advice that came up in the CTEs, they ignored a lot of the bad mechanics and put their energy into externals and cosmetics they thought would attract new players, while going into PR overdive and making nice speeches about how committed to their fans they are without doing a lot in reality that reflected a true sense of commitment to us. NOTE: I'm not an expert player. I'm mediocre at best. If even I noticed these things so clearly, though, they obviously screwed up on their plans to attract the less skilled players too. They compromised on everything to the point of making the core gameplay so mediocre that few people keep playing it for long.

I got bored of BF1 after a month or so. And I’ve put thousands and thousands of hours into the series since 1942.

Nickel, thank you for taking the time to make this video, I found it quite educational and entertaining. I’d like to know though, will you be making a video on Battlefield V and the recent controversy surrounding the game? And also what are your thoughts on BFV? Danke vielmals.

[@Kardia_of_Rhodes]

I agree with most of your points except those regarding Movement mechanics. I actually like the general movement (walking/running) in BF1. It feels a lot more natural compared to BF4 and BF3 where I always felt like I was kind if just "gliding" everywhere. In BF1 you feel the movement in every step you take. Regarding more "advanced" movement techniques; the fact that you cant use tactics in BF1 like "jumping around corners while ADS" like you could in BF3 and BF4 was honestly a breath of fresh air for me. I don't have to worry about people playing the game like some Cyborg Ninja Space Marine anymore. The new movement mechanics in BF1 made the gameplay more down to earth and less "Matrix". I hope they keep it that way in BFV. Very well made video btw!

[@OrehBelich92]

[@HNcomics]

Why would someone who is this passionate about this game use an aimbot? Also right after that look at how twitchy his aiming is despite the lack of targets.

[@bencesas3482]

I agree with almost everything. I think the HUD isn't distracting at all and I wouldn't say it's cartoony, it's just more clear and beautiful, and it also isn't in the way like the in bf4. I also like the perk changes because it brought diversity to the game, but i see your point in making the firefights less predictable. Jeez you have amazing aim. Subscribed.

[@badbadnotgoodgoodgodnotbad2930]

What i thought would be a good video soon lost validity with the reference to prior releases bf3 and 4. Prior to bf3, there was never unlimited sprint, there was wider bullet spread in hip fire and through scope, larger maps, no auto regenerating health and armour, vehicles had limited ammo and required refill runs, and we didn't get bombarded with false sense of achievement of earning points after every kill but each kill was still more satisfying. This game initially wasn't ever for competition players who like run and gun styles like COD like you're explaining. It was a game that was focused on team play in squads, and it's limited phsyics made shootouts and battles more methodical and challenging.

[@Marksman5147]

Badbadnotgood Goodgodnotbad You're a moron, Battlefield 2 literally had ESL tournaments. BF2 was a very competitive game you can find fragmovies from 2005 of very good BF2 players winning tournaments. BF2 was just a different era, the mechanics then dont work now. Furthermore the skillgap was definitely larger on BF3 and BF4 than it was on BF2, even if BF2 is regarded as the best. What we desperately need and wont get is a game like BF3/BF4

[@badbadnotgoodgoodgodnotbad2930]

Marksman 5147 Your stating that as opinion not fact, I would argue that someone's average Kdr and average points would be far less on bf2 compared to bf3 and 4 due to it being far more difficult and complex. COD is the perfect game for competitive players like yourself.

[@Marksman5147]

Badbadnotgood Goodgodnotbad Lol what a joke. Ive been playing BF competitively for 10+ fucking years lol. Ofc the average score will be different because the game had a completely different scoring system, as for k/d? Fuck no. The average good infy player will have a 3-5k/d and the average vehicle player even more. The higher the skillgap the higher the k/d. My BF1 k/d is much lower than BF4, bevause BF1 is an easier game you die easier. A 9k/d compared to a barely 6k/d comparatively, hell my BFH k/d was way higher than BF1 lmao. Because BF2 was a skill based game you could easily maintain a high k/d just playing normally so long as you are good. The baseline "decent" k/d is a 3 and any decent player can easily maintain a 3k/d on BF Vietnam/BF2/BF2142 Play CoD? Lol what a joke I dont play arcade shooters, I play tactical shooters, BF being my main franchise. Why would I switch franchises and entire genres? BF isnt the only option, other games like Insurgency Sandstorm and WW3 are releasing and will steal quite a few Veteran and competitive Battlefield players away, hell PubG already took quite a few. All the good players left after BF1. CoD isnt even an option because I wouldnt play that trash, I'll keep playing comp BF just like I did since BF2, hell even BF2MC had a big comp scene because the game had built in stats and clan leaderboards, wont see that in a modern BF game. You're delusional if you think the average BF2 comp infy player didnt have a 4infy k/d same as BF1 lmao. You're a 1k/d randy who hasnt had a clue what they're talking about for the last nearly 15 fuckin years lmao. I could link you pro BF2 players lan tournament fragmovies, all full of Dolphin diving, jump shotting and crouch shotting.

[@badbadnotgoodgoodgodnotbad2930]

If the point system was scaled proportionate across games bf2 would have a lower average due to the game being more difficult than bf3 and 4. If you think bf2 was more difficult than bf3 and 4 I'm agreeing with you, in regards to the fact it had a higher learning curve and once the learning curve was achieved you could differentiate yourself from the standard player significantly. You're just reinforcing my argument. I'm also not agreeing that the dolphin diving and other broken physics systems are superior, however I also don't think unlimited sprint, smaller recoil, and auto regeneration makes for a better gaming experience.

[@badbadnotgoodgoodgodnotbad2930]

Also the pace of both games are completely different which would also effect the average kills per game you would get, and this is due to many varying factors. Simply by using a comparison of the releases is an unfair measurement, especially considering maps were different, game physics and rules are different with each release. It isn't just a simple if x than y equation. Bf 2 maps were larger and a wider spread of focused gameplay, physics far more difficult minus nAde spam, bf4 maps were significantly smaller and had a higher concentration of game play, physics far more forgiving due to them having to accommodate casual console players who use remotes

[@Hunter_Johnson]

When it comes to elite classes, the only one I've ever found useful is the operator. Sometimes I would say it's even over-powered. Increased run speed + artillery strikes have helped my team win by capping points and keeping the enemy out of the area. Drop an artillery strike on a contested point and you get the point, move on to the next and rinse and repeat. The other elite classes are pretty much just fun and nothing else, they don't help. They're just fun to use, sometimes the flamethrower is useful on very few select maps. As for behemoths, I can count on one hand the amount of times they helped win the match but it was always the same behemoth type. The dreadnought and that is only when you have a skilled vehicle operator.

[@IlNamelessKinglI]

@@FalcOwO I played BF1 after months and I only get killed by Heavy Bombers, Mortar Trucks, Mortars, Bipod LMG losers, Sweet Spot snipers camping in anal holes, Behemonts, Elite Classes and campers. BF1 is basically a Point and Click Adventure game for players that sucked in BF3/4 and rage inducing trash for anyone who has skill and wants to actually play the game. All those problems shine in Operations were Bombers/Trucks bomb the shit out of the enemy Team and go 70 0 all the time and you can't kill them because they are in their Spawn. Awesome Game Design right here, people with 0 skill going 70 0 in a Mortar Truck sporting 100 Service Stars too, just to show how cancer they are. Conquest is barely playable but just barely. Doesn't help the fact that your soldier is a fucking rock and doesn't move around fast enough to avoid damage. You can't jump, crouch or slide more than once without getting a movement penalty and your soldier gets stuck on geometry all the time + random fires and barbed wire everywhere also slowing you down. Cover gets blown up in minutes after the start of a match and 90% of the flags are just wastelands.

[@MrBurninglegs]

This is an outstanding video, glad to hear you got help from MarbleDuck. Keep it up!

[@Thes4LT]

This video needs to blow up. It's essentially everything I've been complaining about since launch that causal players tend to just dismiss with "It's WW1, shut up," or "It's Battlefield, just have fun," which is sort of hard to do since BF1 is not even fun.

[@TheSword2212]

Then don't play it anymore, because Battlefield is not a hardcore franchise.

[@Swock010]

Fun is subjective. You should follow tactical shooter games such as R6, Arma, Insurgency etc if you want to steer from casual games. Personally I'm more towards the casual side bc I don't have the time or energy to get serious into gaming.

[@Madara8989]

Different players have different ideas of what's fun. I personally don't find bunny hopping, drop shotting, and a bunch of other immersion breaking video game tactics to be very entertaining, either to do or to deal with. I much prefer my characters to feel like they actually have physical weight in my tactical shooters.

So glad this popped up on my recommended. Just the other day I played bf1 for the first time in months and thought to myself, "this isn't fun", but couldn't quite figure out why (this definitely cleared things up!). Afterwards, on the other hand, I played bf4 and had a fucking blast on shanghai and locker

[@JS-ue2si]

I'm a console player and thoroughly enjoy BF1 (quite probably simply because I'm personally fascinated with WWI), but I generally agree with most of your criticisms. Great video.

[@Jon-vx4bh]

I'm not one for hyper realism but the jump shotting in bf4 was literally the most bullshit thing ever. It not only messed up hit-boxes, but it also was extremely unrealistic and very "unfun" for newer players that couldn't understand why they couldn't hit a flying frog. That was the only thing I really disagreed about this video.

[@harrybaldwin6825]

I couldn't agree more with the game being more to sell than play; for me, as my skill improved, there where no end game hurdles to get around and improve my playing style, I noticed this around rank 75, how the game was holding me back and I couldn't use specific moving skills or get used to hard, but useful weapons, since the best guns you can get within 15 hours of play and are so easy to use. I stopped playing games liken this and moved onto more tactical games like HOI4, that's sad. Great video mate, you got yourself a sub.

[@thomasc7610]

Even with all the mentioned problems. As an aspiring gunsmith I'm still a sucker for this era and it's unique weaponry. Albeit over half the weapons depicted never saw the light of day. Like the Hellriegel. Only 3 pictures exist of it, yet DICE constructed the entire weapon, with a model, sounds, and animations. Yeah, BF1 does have it's problems. But right now there aren't too many AAA titles that depict the first world war or the weaponry. Inb4 someone says Verdun. I still like BF1 and will continue to play it if not just for it's arsenal.

[@z00mBG]

Clearly best BF infantry player, as prooven on 3:12 to 3:14 when aimbot jumps to the second player in that barn after you kill the first one and you release ADS to try and control the situation so its not so obvious. Did you forget to turn off auto target switch on that bot? Man you're a hacker a passive one you use an aimbot as a aim assist and yes every other part of the hack is off.Things start going terribly wrong on 4:04 when you kill that guy on the street and the aimbot switches to another one behind the wall but you manage to controll that and just stop shooting. I can give many other parts of the video where your aimbot shows and other parts when you shoot at range there is more than one player and after you kill your target you turn 180 by yourself where there are no enemies so your hack wont show and people wont see the autoswitch than you turn back again kill another one and again turn to a side where there are no enemies. Best infantry player haha yes thats just it if there where ESL tournaments you won show to them because without that aim assist you'll get ur ass handed to you by real players

You can tell 90% of the people accusing him of hacking have never played with a good player on pc . how do his guns have no recoil uhh it’s called recoil control you can literally pull your mouse down when you shoot most times to get the same affects, how does he flick to that guy well he knows where he is already, how come the frames look weird idk probably because he’s playing at higher than 60frames if he’s playing at 120 frames and he’s recording at 60 frames will be lost I don’t get what’s wrong with this section

[@chinogambino9375]

I've played with good players in competitive games, he is suspicious and a prime target for being speced by admins. "how does he flick to that guy well he knows where he is already" That's a problem itself, audio cues can only take you so far. Nickel is also aiming down targets that are unseeable. 9:48 he centres his cross hair on a guy getting revived instantly, he is not on screen for more than a few frames, there's no muzzle flash or audio to prime his attention yet is getting pre-aimed very deliberately. For reference the best fighting game players cannot block a 14 frame move on reaction alone, they have to block predicatively.

[@kibido7373]

You’re trying to make this game into something it was never designed and hopefully never will be. It’s a very immersive casual first person shooter with a touch of realism, that’s it. We already have a huge amount of competitive fps’, no need to turn Battlefield into one of those because it would have to be dumbed down to the point of not being Battlefield any more. Appreciate the game for what it is or play something else, Battlefield just can’t become competitive as some of you want it to be. And jumping while shooting? Go back to Quake or UT please, none of that shit belongs in Battlefield just because you want to be aggro and jump around corners while shooting. If DICE listened to you people this game would lose all of its charm. As I said before, let Battlefield fill its role as other fps’ fill theirs, if you don’t like it switch to another one, there are plenty.

[@OrehBelich92]

Kibido agree here. And one more thing. Battlefield was never about your own skills only. It was a team-based game. Though BF1 is casual in terms of weapon use there are servers where ppl use teamplay a lot and in this aspect on some maps the game is just awesome.

CS:GO, PUBG, Overwatch, R6, Quake are all very competitive fps games. As I said before, let Battlefield shine for what it is, a casual fps with a lot of emphasis on immersion, as there is nothing else out there that fits the role like BF does. No point in dumbing it down to the ground just so it can be "competitive", that would waste the game entirely.

I understand what you’re saying and you have a lot of good points, but it sounds like if you’re talking from a “professional/veteran” POV! 95% of the player base is considered casual so that’s who they market to because *thats where all the money is at* I think they just want a game that anyone can pick up and have fun with no matter how bad or good you are...

[@BungieStudios]

All Battlefields after BC2 are designed to sell, not to play. Only now people are starting to realize. $120 for a finished game, $60 after Premium Edition releases. Lack of teamwork mechanics, lack of strategic destruction, lack of teambased vehicles, teamwork is punished in favor of lone wolfing through nerfs, range his hindered through low damage/low recoil/high spread, promised mechanics are never added but saved for the sequel, artistic vision is prioritized over gameplay, and then you have the lack of mod support. As for the movement system, I loved Bad Company 2's movement system. You felt like a soldier carrying heavier gear. You weren't an Olympic athelete with unlimited endurance. You had to be calculating with your movements. Leaving cover at the wrong time or breaching a building could mean the death of you followed by your team.

[@miwoj]

*completely disagree* with most of it. you have some points here and there , but your *"CORE GAMEPLAY PROBLEMS"* are: 1. inability to slide around like a figure skater anymore because plain running like a human being is for casuals 2. can't constantly hop around, change directions mid-air while jumping and shooting at the same time that makes you behave like a casual human and not pro mlg competitive ninja 3. having to actually put a gas mask on wastes a precious half second 4. vaulting and jumping works perfectly only 99% of the time 5. bullets need visible fake trails because spread patterns are what's actually important in the game 6. hands aren't perfectly precise and stable while holding a really heavy rifle 7. stress of being under heavy fire makes you slightly less cool, focused and precise 8. game looks too good for poor people with crappy computers 9. can't draw your own maps on screenshots of actual map (what...?) 10. clean, functional, almost completely customisable UI isn't even more customisable 11. perks were ok in previous bf games but aren't ok here, playstyle customisation is bad and all players should be the same 12. you can't record a match, which affects gameplay somehow 13. something something political correctness sorry but that's just a bunch of cherrypicked bullshit that *YOU* dislike for your own strange personal reasons and are completely meaningless for most players. BF1 is still fun and an amazing game.

Like I stopped playing Kingdom Come because it didn't grow on me. I didn't get the best armor, put two hundred hours in become a master swordsman then say, "That was all crap."

Ballroom Blitz courtyard upper balconies and Dawnbreaker glass building entrances are the best examples to the fucked up vaulting system BF4 and BF1 has (BF3 too). It is a sinlge step like a sidewalk on a road but you have to play a whole vaulting animation which also results in a 5 meter forward jump in Ballroom Blitz dropping down from the balcony too.

I agreed with many of your point except for your admiration of the movement in BF4. There was so much hopping around in there at times that it looked completely stupid.

THIS ISNT A RUN N GUN game where you jump around corners and dropshot and quickscope the shit out of "noobs" If you dont like this game as it is, then DONT PLAY IT! and why you feel like crying on the internet about it is beyond me! I dont go around posting shit about games i dont like!

I've been playing bf1 for a while and I booted up bf4 for the fun of it the other day and it shocked me how good the movement system felt.

[@easternwind4435]

For me this Game was the best Battlefield since BF2142, I can't stand the repetive themes nowdays

[@TheKartoffel101]

you never played BF3 right?

[@eyebelieve3]

WOW 2142 turned me off Battlefield. Was garbage, no difference in classes all guns were the same weapon.

[@LD-oq9lx]

The Last European FH2 is the best battlefield game

[@schmittyvonbaun8418]

The Last European then you are braindead

[@easternwind4435]

no the sheeps are

[@viktorm2227]

Is that an aimlock around 3:12?

[@Chubzdoomer]

It is, and it couldn't be more blatant. 0.25x speed helps prove it. There's no way that's legit.

[@robertbenton8629]

Yup and yup agreed

[@alberthoch975]

3:12 nice AIMBOT

[@nookchorris2541]

man, i was watching the video and stopped right there and went... "mmm maybe i should read the comments, my spider sense is tingling". Now theres no reason to watch the rest of the video or to listen to him

[@kbandit6851]

Haha anyone that thinks he is hacking should watch Shroud here on youtube or on twitch. I have to say that was definitely an amazing flick shot but even I have pulled stuff like that off, and I'm not even that good at games

[@nookchorris2541]

the problem is this, it looks, feels and behaves exactly like an aimbot, so you cant fool anyone, anybody that knows aimbots can spot them in seconds on videos on the net. And its not the only video on youtube with bots on the footage, You are wasting your time, they are easy to spot, specially if you are DUMB enough to record yourself using them

[@bolliscoson7063]

I got an idea maybe he is not hacking and just better then you, and is also really good did he not say that he was a pro?

[@nookchorris2541]

the problem is this: i can watch dozens of actual videos (and i have) of actual people playing in physically located championships, that is IN PERSON for LARGE sums of money, in any game that has those kinds of events and happens to be a shooter, and i can see the very best in the world and what they do in any of those shooters, and to this day of watching that kind of stuff (you know, the real stuff), ive never EVER seen moves like that. Not even once, and the reason is this and its pretty simple: its kind hard to use a bot like this guy does surrounded by thousands of people wanna be pro? turn off the bot and try to do it in person, otherwise you are just a millenial sounding mouthbreather, just like this dude

[@89Regulator]

Sehr geiles Video. Endlich mal jemand ders versteht. Paar Punkte noch die mich noch aufregen aber anscheinend in BF5 teilweise verbessert werden: - Autoheal - Squadspawn - Erzwungenes Teamplay (durch weniger munition, spottingsystem usw.) Aber folgendes denk ich mir immer wenn ich positiv bleiben möchte: Die Marketingstrategie hinter der Gameplay Mechanik von BF1 kann ich mir schon schönreden. Ich denke/hoffe es war Absicht einen BF Teil zu machen der mehr casual (Sch***e) ist um mehr Spieler anzulocken und mit den Verkaufszahlen von CoD mitzuhalten, um diese neuen Spieler ins nächste Game mitzuziehen, wo ihnen dann gezeigt wird wie ein richtiges Battlefield zu funktionieren hat. ;) Ich hoffe halt gern.

[@denbluemaster9651]

I think you should have mentioned that you are cheating here are some examples: 3:10 10:43

[@simescoun22009]

indeed, or maybe he is playing with a speed controler at least

[@maragoudakis7423]

That is called a "flick" try watching Beaulo from Rainbow Six Siege if you think this guy has god aim

[@KenshinLoL]

You do realize that the scenes are speed up ? that makes a fast flick look like aimbot. I don't claim that there is no chance he is cheating but I don't think so.

[@levoGAMES]

A battle recorder would be great for BF V. It would help the competitive scene analyze matches and would allow for cinematic videos, which would further increase the longevity and popularity of the game.
