So anyone hoping for eastern front stuff i guess its not coming.


Really? They add the Eastern Front to Battlefield 1, but not V?


They still didn't even have Americans in Europe, or the French and Italian armies.

Also 50+ weapons in the game files that will most likely be scrapped and never released because DICE can't drip feed content, so they'd rather delete it all.

Battlefront II is also ending new content updates, but, unlike BFV, Battlefront II is actually in a pretty good state right now.

Without DICE LA working on the next Battlefield (what the studio is cutting support for), I'm still skeptical it will be good, since Sweden is generally incompetent at game development, leaving LA to fix everything post-launch for them.

Well you know what they say. Can't have a riot if all the prisoners are dead.

With a name like that, I'd expect his nickname to just be an actual name. Long "Timothy" House. And his hair looks like a meatball that someone tried to make into a helmet.

Hmm? If you mean BF1, then yeah, it has France and Russia. French, Brits, USA, ANZACs, Russians, Germans, Austro-Hungarians, and Ottomans.

It's BFV, the WWII game, that doesn't have France or the Eastern Front. It didn't even have The Pacific/US/Japan until a full year after launch. Until then, it was only British and Germans.

I answered for both because ya said WWI, so I wasn't sure. lol.

Yeah no I messed up there. I thought it was a WW1 game. Still though a game about WW2 without France or the Eastern Front is pretty odd.

From what i know the majority of the maps are set in 1940. And yet they dont have the Polish or French Armies. Or the Belgians and Dutch. Or Danes or Norwegians. Despite their being maps in Norway and France etc

Then again they didnt have france in BF1 either till it was DLC and like a 1/4 of the maps are in fucking France

You enjoy your fictional snake ladies

Oddly enough I've newer actually thought about all this until you guys mentioned it right now. But like, I can totally see the attraction of a girl that can wrap her self around you and crush your soul right out of your body. Like, imagine the relationship where you're always just one hug away from having your skeleton squeezed out of your mouth like a stepped on tube of tooth paste.

Apparently its now an.. alright game according to folks ive seen talk about it. Because who knew that adding in NPC's and people you can actually interact with would make a game more lively and fun.

Lol. Yeah, to be fair I've heard that there's a lot of good stuff in Wastelanders, and that it feels like they put a lot of work and care into it, but it's still built on the dumpster fire that was the base game.
Honestly, if they'd just kept it singleplayer it could have been great. I was watching Joseph Andersons 1001 Glitches video the other day and it seems like a whole heap load of the issues are cause of the servers.

The game always had NPCs, though. They were robots, but robot non-player characters are still non-player characters.

By that logic enemy's are functional npcs and everyone should have shut up, which was rather not in the spirit of the actual complaint.

Me and my work mates had a server at one point, but that's long since expired.

Remember the super mutant prostitutes in Fallout Tactics? Oh and there was Francis, the super mutant in Fallout 2 who challenges you to an armwrestle in a bar, and if you lose then you are his gimp for the night.

There is a major contradiction though, as the super mutants from Fallout 3 onwards lose their sexual characteristics as a result of FEV, yet that never happened to the super mutants in the earlier games as an effect of FEV. The contradiction is never really explained, but I remember something about there being different variants of FEV, even though that is never given as a reason for the discrepancy.

EDIT: Actually, looking over the lore again, only the secondary sexual characteristics are lost, as well as being made infertile.
