showtime Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-5/news/an-update-on-battlefield-5 I'm not shocked by this. With all the recent negative news about this game, I thought something like this would happen. Probably want to distance themselves from Black Ops 4 because they're getting absolutely smoked by them right now. The date of November 20th is kind of weird because that's the week of Thanksgiving and Black Friday. A lot of people are going to be buying games that are on big sales among other items on Black Friday. I'm really curious as to what the sales numbers of this game will be.

I might wait for Shadow of the Tomb Raider's Black Friday sales since I'm already getting Spider-Man, which comes out a week earlier. But getting back on topic, it's not gonna help their sales THAT much, it still has the stigma from the EA debacle trifecta last year (Mass Effect: Andromeda, Need For Speed: Payback and Star Wars: Battlefront II) and the terrible PR keeping buyers away. Plus like you said, it's gonna be competing with all the discounted games for Black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I will say one thing, this game better be running great on launch. Nobody wants to hear about servers being overloaded or not ready when you push the game back for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I believe the pre-load begins tomorrow. Not sure if that's for everyone or only for the people who will be playing on the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neumatic Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Pretty Sure I’m the worst player in the beta lol. I like the bleed out when you die for quick deploy or call for help. As far as game play I’m usually dead before I see anyone so its hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyers0909 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The Beta is fun as hell. That 2nd sniper is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one is that, I've only been whoring the OP STG lol. I only played 3 rounds of Rotterdam but this is ******* great. My only complain so far is how quiet it feels. Maybe I just need to crank volume but everything feels so empty. My aim is def shat after using EZPZ guns in BF1, in terms of keeping auto fire on a target and tapping, was using a lot of easy semi autos and the 1900 slug and ****.

It only has 5 shots in a clip but it's a semi auto sniper that kills in 2 shots. It took me a map but I went on a 22 kill streak with it my second game with it, its so OP.

I don't even know how to unlock anything yet lol. I'm having fun though. My vision was better than I expected it would be after playing Doritofield for so long. It's the first BF game in ages I'm going to have to find a group to play with though, which is a good thing, but in the past few it never felt necessary. I feel like it is now with how everything is setup. I had a thought reading comments in chat today too. We were deservedly ****ting on EA marketing but I wonder if they knew this was not the same shoveled crap and they thought the thing was just going to sell itself off merits? I wasn't blow away by the alpha's but this seems like it's going to be legit AF to me. Even if it's not that super ww2 film grain gritty vibe half of the internet swore they wanted, it really feels it'll play well. And neither Narvik more Rotterdam are my cup of tea for map design.

showtime Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm really glad this beta came out. There's no way I'm pre-ordering this game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was the guy in my game late last night blowing up in chat about how terrible the game is and how he's so glad he didn't pre order. Then someone pointed out he was 1-15, and he really was 1-15 lol. Gotta love those guys. I was gonna make a post last night with a few other things I didn't like but now it's like a forgot. The colors are a little too bright in some areas and too dark in others. The grenade launcher is a joke right now too. This guy was like under these stairs and I landed both of them up his arse and only 70 damage. Seems like others feel this way too. I'll get used to the ammo system. But it's an odd feeling right now. It will definitely help true camping if it stays like this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
