i miss battlefield

[@DrunkenMasterStyle]

This is the price for wanting games to become mainsteam. Closing down servers of older games, half baked AAA crap, half of game content sold as DLC, and invasive microtransactions. GG brothers, it was an honor to be a part of the golden age of gaming with you.

[@nightflash117games3]

[@cheeseisgood17]

Wild to see just in the past 15 years how game development in the industry shifted from a thing of passion to an attempt of cash cow milking at every turn. So many half baked games created for the sake of selling. I feel like innovation has really halted.

Hot take: premium was a good thing for battlefield. It provided a guarenteed quality of content. With a live service you either good like 1 map every 6 months or it ends way too soon, also micro transactions come in play with a live service. Im happily buying premium again if it comes with the next battlefield

What a time to be alive. I’ll miss you, nostalgia is such a cruel mistress. I'll never forget one particular moment on Battlefield 3. Me and two other friends and our team was getting destroyed by the defenders on Grand Bazaar while playing Rush. Our team got one of the bombs and me and my two friends, only us three, managed to clutch pushing to the last bomb on the first stage. We ended up getting it and blowing it up with just one ticket remaining for our spawns. Our push ended up helping our team win the match, it was magical.

I remember buying bf premiums because od just how good value and quality the dlcs felt... Saving up, hyped for the next release, saving for premium to get more fun for a great price... I remember when it went south for me. Bf5 trailer and EA's handling of the backlash. Which is a shame... at least i got to be there for the good days od 2142, bad company 2 and bf 3, 4 and 1... heck i remember bf3 on my old hardware. my poor core 2 duo couldnt handle me driving in vehicles but somehow infantry gameplay was fine... god i miss those days.

[@Hardys-Mods]

thats what i call a loveletter to the fans! That was my battlefield experience! The most fun ive ever had online and the most time i have ever spend was in BF3 on xbox 360. The packed action in metro tunnels with tracers and rockets flying past u, the mass jumping from the mountain into enemy fire, assisted by the helicopter, the far sniping on the big multiplayer maps, the tank crew simulation in urban areas, the annihilation of whole squats with my jet skills (and then getting funny hate messages of 12 year olds, which made me crack up and target them even more) putting C4 on enemy vehicles and waiting for them to get entered by enemy players to blow them up or doing the same on friendly vehicles to launch them over the whole map with friends this game had it all.

Not too long ago I went back and played BF3 and BF4. It's just not the same man. Turns out the fond memories were largely due to the people I played it with. Crazy to think that BF3 was almost 14 years ago. I feel like both the internet and gaming peaked there. Sure there were great games after that but so much less.

[@zackbobby5550]

I think that's true. Nostalgia and being younger has a lot to do with it, but I do actually think that games were better back then. BF3 was just a good ass game. The internet was better then, too. People would actually sit down and watch a 20 minute video about a gun build or an hour long video of a group of friends squadding up in Battlefield. Now, videos are less than a minute, and most of that minute is ads.

[@misanthrope5063]

​@@zackbobby5550tiki tok and Instagram reels are the reason

[@orenong]

It's not the same game, because back then the players were average players like you and me who came to have fun. 14 years later, the people who're still in the game are pros who know every fact about every gun, the best spots to go to, and they've expirenced everything in the game already. It's not the same without new players, and causal players and the guy who stays at spawn with c4 to test the destruction physics

Same. I don't think any game will ever top it, and even if they somehow do end up making a Bad Co 3, the expectations for a modern shooter mean that it won't be the same. It'll be loaded with all sorts of equipment, character abilities, skins, crap that takes away from the experience or makes it harder to balance. Bad Co 2 was so good because it was less "customizable" but as a result generally really balanced and just played so well.

[@Caseylawton]

@@Incrediblebowlesmodels Exactly, there is a different level of immersion that comes with full destruction. I actually think the battle royal game type is built for full destruction. You don't really have to worry about the whole map being leveled since the ring closes anyways. So you still get that immersion experience without the game breaking when the map gets completely leveled (tbh I didn't even care when that happened). Imagine the a Bad Company 3 Battle Royal mode, the content streamers would get from it would be insane.

Destructable cover, even making craters in the ground was and still is the greatest innovation in FPS.

I was able to watch him gradually get better and better to the point that he was nearly on par with me in terms of skill. He went from being at the bottom of the scoreboard with 0 kills to being within the top 5 in nearly every match with 20-30+ kills.
