Will your shooter be BFV in Oct?
Simple questions, will you be getting BF5 at launch in Oct? If yes will you be invested in it as your main shooter over BattleFront2?
I know some dont consider battlefront 2 a real shooter because its casual blasters and star cards. it's more just a star wars game to you. so those could potentially play both games.
Myself, I'm not sure if I'm getting battlefield 5 yet. I still have a lot to do in bf1 that I just never got to, and besides red dead will take most of my video game time when out.

I thought about getting it, but I am in the minority that likes the no health regen idea.
I'm not convinced that Dice isn't going to cave in and add health regen back.
Grand Operations sounds great though, the beta might change my mind.

I understand this reference.
There was a reference there lol.
You don't know?
No
Someone once told Anarchy Ninja that playing in first person gives them a headache and he has mocked that comment ever since.
Ah, well it does. Tried it in bf1. Was getting motion sick.
I'll go as far as to say no more EA/Dice games are in my future.
SWBF2 has removed any confidence in the company and their franchises.
It's coming up to two months since I've been able to play online....... that does things to your usually cheery disposition towards them . . . .
Dont look back Ani. Dont look back.
I wonder if Battlefield V’s take on a live service system will work better than Battlefront 2’s.

Battlefield games are really hit or miss for me. I started with bad company 2 I really liked bad company 2.
I didn't like battlefield 3 , 4 or hardline.
I liked Battlefield 1. But Battlefield 5 I am just not interested.
With games like Farm 51s world war 3 coming out on pc and Insurgency sandstorm coming to console eventually I do not really have interest in Battlefield 5.
Plus there are many non shooter games I want to spend money on instead.
Biomutant. Fallout 76, Override mech city brawl as well as others.
Battlefront 2 , Battlefield and more.
good look.
I played both 4 and 1 (still do) concurrently with Battlefront. They are different games and scratch different itch.

Funny thing is that around 75% of my more hardcore Battlefield playing friends played BF1 for about a week before going back to the modern titles, because even with the only moderate changes to core gameplay and concessions made in the interest of keeping it similar (e.g. automatic weapons still everywhere in order to maintain the 4 class structure, despite 99% of everyone using bolt action rifles in the real war) it was far too different mechanically from those games for those battlefield 3/4 fanbois to get invested in.
Problem is the series picked up so much steam and got so exponentially much more mainstream between BC2 and BF4 (when it went to war with CoD for the crown of the casual FPS market) that more experimental takes like 2142 or 1943 wouldn't fly today (evidenced by even the moderately different BF1 falling behind BF4 in playercount after a few months). The series now has to be conservative and cater to large audience that came to it as result of those games.

BFII will still be my main game, but right now my brothers and I have been playing Halo 5.

Have had the same problem since overplaying the original Turok. Yes I am old. Red dead is 3rd person Right? Might try that one.
Indeed it is 3rd person. P.s. I remember playing OG turok too, we ain't that old man lol
This, maybe if the beta convinces me. I'll always play Bf2 if dlc keeps coming
Thanks bro. Ill be playing battlefront regardless, but the content might not be enough to keep me from trying something else. Used to be a big resident evil player, but even that went first person. Ill probably try the re2 remake in January though.
That game was so fun

I would not recommend ARK. That game has more issues than Battlefront 2.

I will probably buy Sand Storm as my next fps.
Maybe when bf5 dips below $15 or comes free with ea access....I'll consider it.
I once played Borderlands 2 and it made me feel sooooooooo ill after about 15 minutes. I never played it again and returned it
Original question:
It... depends? Im not a shooter fan at all, I muuucchh prefer fantasy RPGs and maybe a few sci-fi ones but only a few. I bought Battlefront II mostly because of the singleplayer campaign and well... because its Star Wars. I skipped Battlefront I because it was an online only multiplayer shooter and I disliked the DLC model.
But the thing is, I quite enjoy Battlefront II multiplayer but idk if that's because its Star Wars or not. Would I enjoy a similar game if it was another universe? Idk. Not sure.
One thing I think Battlefront II needs are customization options for men and women. 70% of all the classes in the game that COULD have gender customization options (so excluding the Separatists and Republic) are male. And it sucks. I love having ways to customize my characters, in an RPG game with a character creator Ill spend so much time making a character for myself that I can enjoy playing the game with. I find it fun, and it also helps me to get emotionally invested in a game.
Thats where Battlefield V happens, because it has customization options for men and women and thats something that excites me and makes me happy. Part of me is actually looking forward to having appearance options then using that character to play online. It isnt something that I do in the games Ive played because theyre mostly offline.
I also think the game might have some kind of emotional depth, but I might be wrong. My general conclusion is "wait and play the beta" because while I am excited by the game, it's... still a shooter. And Im not sure if I would enjoy them yet. Ive never played a Battlefield game so I would have no idea what Im doing, and I dont want to take the chance of preordering the game when shooters have been typically not enjoyable for me. So Ill play the beta and find out what the mechanics are like and whether they agree with me (and hopefully find out that the customization options are for all classes, not just pushing women into the specialist and Aerials for the most part *sigh*). If I enjoy the beta, I might pre-order. If I dont, I wont
To the people who dislike the customization options in Battlefield V, just as a small note:
The developers have said they prioritized entertainment over realism, and thats a thing. Imo, that should close all reasonable arguments about the customization, because criticizing something for not being realistic when they had more priorities is kinda weird. There are many more WWII shooters out there that have put more effort into realism - personally, I would choose player choice and more options over 100% realism because its genuinely more fun for me. However, there were women who fought in WWII in a number of different roles and for a number of reasons - not as many as men, nowhere close, but they had a role to play and I think its important for something to recognize that also, even in a slightly... exaggerated way? What the developers are doing is combining real events with game mechanics and player options to try and make it as fun as possible for all people. That doesnt make them "sjw" (honestly, I find it reaaaalllyyy hard to take people who use that term seriously anyway). It just means theyre trying to make a fun game... which is actually acknowledging the existence of female gamers. For once. :P Shooters dont tend to do that. There is no reason why, in a work of fiction, the options I have to customize my character should be in any way limited by my gender, I dont think thats fair tbh.
Either way, there is a lack of information atm given how the game hasnt released and things. Maybe you might be surprized by how they incorporate female characters into the game. Or maybe people will keep trying to have the options many players will have/use removed from the game for their own personal views/gain *shrug*
Same with me. No EA Games at all after they lied to customers.
