Battlefield 5...Thoughts?

[Len Hyet]

It looks pretty silly imo, I'm not that interested.

But think of all the enjoyment to be had in killing players roleplaying as a member of the esteemed praetorian guard of Adolf Hitler himself in their jet black parade uniforms, the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler!

A World War Two game brings out the Wehrbs? Who'da thunk.

Wehrbs are some incredibly... spooky things.

The worst part is when they start with something I agree with and then transition into peak Wehraboo.

Like it'll start with

I don't think the prosthetic arm makes much sense as a character skin

Okay yeah dude I'm with ya.

Also what was up with the Kratos/William Wallace hybrid?

That dude looked weird as shit I dig it.

But anyway I can't wait to dress up in the SS Panzer Division uniforms

Wait what?

Hugo Boss is such a great designer, and the SS logo looks baller

Wait no, no God no.

It's, like, peak ironic comedy. "Oh yeah, a prosthetic limb is too much for me but lemme just wear an SS parade uniform with a shitton of red and black while I go and kill a bunch of people!"

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

If they're gonna do a multiple stories kind of campaign I'd like to play as a Wehrmacht soldier or any soldier from the ''bad'' side for once, but of course that's probably not gonna happen in this age of SJWs.

You do know there is plenty of games where you play the nazis right?

Go play Company of Heroes for that.

And yes the nazis where bad, Wehrmacht was not clean (see commsar order) and stop bashing sjws.

Anyway, its EA so I wouldn't be suprised that they stuffed it full of p2w micro transactions. I stoped geting hiped for anything EA along time ago.

The prosthetic limb is a wee bit much for me, especially because I'm fairly sure based on the movements it makes it's actually a cybernetic robo-arm that only looks like a cheap WW2 prosthetic

That said yeah, Wehraboos are just so extra.

I mean, it's not impossible per se to fight with a prosthetic, even in WWII.

But comrade. Prosthetic limb reduces combat efficiency.

Reduced combat efficiency means lower Kill:Death ratio.

Lower Kill:Death ratio means more fascist pigdogs live to see another day.

Ah, but comrade, you're forgetting the key ingredient here: satisfaction!

It's far more satisfying to crush the supposed master race when you lack limbs than it is to crush them normally!

I cannot say this for certain comrade, it feels very satisfying to remove fascist with 4 limbs.

Ah, but you've forgotten how much more humiliating it is to be defeated by those physically handicapped when you're the master race!

This is true comrade, to destroy them philosophically as well as physically is truly the dream.

Clearly we must engage in a double-blind study of at least 100 fascist-removers, separated into two groups, one of prosthetic fascist removers, one of full-bodied fascist removers (Full Bodied Fascist Remover - name for vodka brand?) and find their average K:D ratio compared to a combat satisfaction score which we will ask them to rank 1-10.

Of course. The scientific method of BTFO'ing the Nazi team has never failed before, and we'll learn which is best for crushing both their spirits and their forces. *nod*

Well duh

[Lioniel]

It looks like they're trying to appeal to the brainlet battle royale crowd or something. Hard pass.

Exactly
^This is what i dislike about the trailer it's too...bombastic, I hope it doesn't come to that when it is released.

[Len Hyet]

New JackFrags video talking about character progression in BFV. Sounds really goddamn cool.

[Individual Thought Patterns]

It's dumb as fuck. Why is there some English woman who sounds like Tracer from Overwatch with a prosthetic arm fighting Germans? And it's another game beating the horse of godawful Western Front FPS games. Feminism ruins absolutely everything again.

Why not and why does there gender matter at all?

"Another one"? You mean the only other ww2 game on the current gen that isnt cod ww2?

[Kyneland]

I’m not too optimistic on it. Sure, it was big and had amazing graphics, but the inclusion of a female character, in combat, with a prosthetic of all things and the general political correctness of it disappointed me.

I’d have preferred the trailer to show the gritty grimness of WWII, likely possibly a battle in Warsaw between the Wehrmacht and Polish Army.

I will not be getting it in all likelihood. It’s a step up from BF:1 in its “inclusiveness,” like the stupid inclusion of black German soldiers in Europe.

It’s not a WWII game, at least in my opinion.

[Grater Tovakia]

I am rather annoyed that there has been no mention of the eastern front. I know dice wants to slowly advance the timeline but with today's graphics could you guys imagine a battle of Berlin or Kursk.

You're seriously both complaining that two more fronts weren't shown, despite there being only one trailer and the announcement? We know there's something set in Norway and that was less important than Poland or the Eastern Front. So maybe, I don't know, wait a bit? I mean we have five months to go yet. Hell, there's been no mention of the United States from what I can see, and you don't hear people complaining about that.

I’m not complaining because of X front wasn’t shown, I just found it not fitting a WWII atmosphere, or really portraying the war in a manner which I think it should be portrayed.

Whilst it was impressive, it was way too fast-paced or flashy for me. The trailer, at the least, anyway.

Actually from what Dice announced they are looking to show the "lesser known" sides of world war 2, so instead of showing beautifully rendered D-day or Kursk we are going to take part in small resistance raids no one cares about in the arctic circle. Also no chance USSR and USA will be in the campaign because there two "cliche" despite being arguably the two most important allies in world war 2.

Okay, all of those points are actually pretty fair. Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer having the USSR and America there too, but I guess this is the chance to have new factions that haven't been explored before. Who knows, maybe we'll get to play as the Canadians or something.

I can agree that seeing things from a Canadian soldier’s POV could be fun. I just hope they scale back on some of the PC stuff. They’ve received a lot of backlash I recall hearing.
