Well, if it was a mod, I wouldn't be able to play it because I play on console, so I don't really care. I'm also an infantry player, so a whole game more aimed at infantry gameplay is right up my alley.

I'm assuming it'll have a lot of those little tweeks that made BF4 an improvement over BF3 imo, but I'll really have to see some more. So far I've picked up on the different hit markers, grabbing ammo off of supports and health from medics unlike in BF4 where you had to pester them for it, less suppression, WAY better vehicle collision physics and netcode which is a major improvement, and some other stuff that I can't remember off the top of my head.

There are some things that I don't like, however. Literally all the attachments are copy-pasted over from BF4. Like, wtf. BF4 was a step in the right direction, but flesh out the attachments more. More grips, I dunno, and make the heavy barrel or it's equivalent more useful. I'd really like if they made the magnifier more like the COD one where it's super easy and fast to flip up and it doesn't take you out of ADS when you want to put it on. It'll make the attachments way more useful and a real option.

I don't like how the kits were copy pasted with different names from BF4. Mix it up please Visceral. Nor do I like how similar the character models look. In BF4 and 3 I can easily distinguish the classes from each other just from a glance.

The self revive tool is ******ed. I have no idea why they ever thought that that would be a good idea.

If I'm impressed with it more towards release I will get it, but I'm not going to pre-order.

One mode does not make the game infantry based. That's stupid logic.

but that whole game revolved around that mode.

bad company wasn't infantry focused at all lmao

I played battlefield bad company 2, I have played the ww2 battle field with ships and biplanes and stuff, I have played BF3, I play BF4...

I have never played a battlefield that was infantry focused. But those are the only I have played- I do agree BFBC2 was definitely not infantry based though lol.

And I would like to add Battlefield has never completely satisfied me with attachments.
BF4 WAS a step in the right direction and I was really happy at first, but they don't understand how it all blends in and does the same thing in the end.
All 3.4X - 4X scopes= same things
All 1X sigts= same things (except thermal)
Most grips were the same (only 3 variations and imo could differentiate more than they did...)
Reskins and combinations of the same things like flash light and tactical light, red dot, green laser sight, triple laser sight.. light/laser combination)
Most people used a heavy barrel or suppressor most of the other stuff were mostly trash or reskins.
I could go on and on...


What I did like was stuff like the hunter scope, range finder, Canted iron sights, magnifier, different grenades, ect

I want to see stuff that would keep me more entertained in the long run.


Randomly listing ideas battlefield could do for attachments that would be fun:

Bipod: Allows frontal melee kills without enemy blocking, fast melees, longer reach.

Different ammo: I am not the weapons expert, but in real life there are many different types of ammo guns can load- some that are meant to penetrate walls (at the cost of not lodging into enemies like standard bullets) some that combust, some that fly farther, ect. Similar to what they do with shotguns.

Different magazines: Would be cool to choose if I want to run certain LMGs with a 40 round long clip or with a 100 round belt fed box.

Different stocks: There could be like wooden rifle stocks which give better accuracy, and then there could be hollow/collapsable stocks that can be collapsed and provide better stability and mobility at the cost of accuracy.

They could add benefits to iron sights such as glass sights are prone to gathering cracks when hit by explosions.

Different barrel lengths (say, short barrel would give good hip fire and stability, while long barrel would give good accuracy and range.)

It did, they designed all the bc2 maps for rush specifically.

they designed maps specifically for rush, Conquest was still more popular.  

bump. BFHL Beta just got announce. It's starting on the 3rd (Tuesday) and will run five days. The beta is available on PC, last gen, and current gen consoles (excluding nintendo consoles).  

oh boy a beta on 360 lol  

I've been telling myself to not buy this game, but this video has given me interest in the game for the first time ever. Still getting GTA on PC tho :p  

Currently downloading the beta~  

Stuck at 33% on PS4. Oh wait 34% well that took around 20 mins for an extra percent...  

Its meh. I don't ever really FEEL like I'm robbing/protecting a bank as cops/robbers, which kind of defeats the whole theme and purpose of this game to me. Just your everyday generic shooter.

There's no reason for this game to be $60, BF4 is better.  

Almost finished downloading it, lets see how it goes  

Really enjoying it. I like the more infantry-based combat. Hotwire is so damn fun and pretty much the only mode I really enjoy. Heist is pretty cool too. Dust Bowl is honestly one of my fav maps of the BF series. I also like the currency system. Tbh in my opinion I find Hardline better than BH4. To me it just feels more exciting. Gonna be playing beta all week. Can't wait till the full release.  

Been almost an hour and i've only gone from 25%-29% on the secound title screen loading, never had an 11gb beta with additional downloads after the games finished downloading.

I'm pretty keen for it mainly because I like battlefield and because some of my favourite guns that I was holding out for in the bf4 dlcs are in the game like the sa58 osw. I just hope they redo the spot system because I hate it so god damn much, no possible way of playing stealthy when you can run around the map and spam spot whilst aiming and shooting or just whilst you're running around and reveal a quarter of the team.
An ideal spot system for me would be spotting system working as it currently does, but everytime you spot someone, you also reveal yourself on the minimap, so it's more for teammates to take them out and not spot them, and run around a corner and wait for the orange dorito to come near you and jump out prefiring (it also makes sense since your character shouts that they've spotted a target everytime you press it)
