You know what I miss?

When this series actually had personality to it and not just dubby dubstep to "beat CoD" (which is literally what they said they wanted with Battlefield "broken for a while" 4.

I wish they'd go back to their roots, or at least a Bad Company 3, both of which are unlikely.

Hell, give us a WW2 game with the Frostbite engine, because it's a GOOD engine and looks lovely. Can't say the same for CoD which has been using the same one since 2002.

It shouldn't be a game that competes with Call of Duty, because I don't think any game really can. It should be its own thing with its own fanbase, like it was before.

Pretty sure CoD will be irrelevant in 3 years, max. Hopefully the same can be said for all of these FPS games.

Luciana · July 26, 2015, 06:51:43 PM

FPS is an entire genre. One game maybe, but a whole genre? Now that's just silly.

gats · July 26, 2015, 06:51:55 PM

Yeah to compete to with cod is to become similar to it which is a no no for battlefield pls. I feel like that's what we got with hardline because it was so much more "arcade-like" than the previous installments.

I didn't say the entire genre, I was talking about these kind of dudebro shooters.

But yeah, the entire genre can fuck off too.

It wasn't as dubby dubstep/UBER SERIOUS as BF4 was though, so I feel they both kinda went towards and away with CoD.

I dunno, it's weird. I hope the next main installment isn't just another generic military FPS.

Elai · July 26, 2015, 06:55:46 PM

"generic military shooter"

That's literally what Battlefield is.

But Bad Company had humor to it in a lot of areas. It wasn't just the super serious "STOP THE NUKES! STOP THE BAD GUYS!!!" crap.

And obviously the older ones are WW2 shooters, which honestly needs to come back. We've had a long enough break, right? And I'm sick of this "near future" crap we're getting.

Elai · July 26, 2015, 06:59:37 PM

I was never too keen on the WW2 shit, anyways. The only thing it could really offer me is the atmosphere, which Dice and all the other dudebro developers don't give a dusty fuck about.

At the end of the day, they're still going to incorporate this "future-tech" into an older setting.

I dunno, I thought Call of Booty WaW captured the WW2 atmosphere perfectly. The game was a great outing to the overdone WW2 genre.

I just feel we've been away long enough for a refreshment.

Oh good golly god no. CoD is the most popular franchise in the most popular gaming genre on the planet - it's not going away any time soon.

I'm sure gamers will move on to something else eventually, but not in a mere three years.

Elai · July 26, 2015, 09:32:31 PM

Sales are lower each year since Ghosts. I'm sure there will be a spike this year thanks to Zombies but I think in 3 years, we'll see other franchises take over.

Septy · July 26, 2015, 09:38:32 PM

Well we're getting a new Brothers in Arms in 2016 or 2017

You know what I miss?
Discovering the appeal of gaming with my old gameboy games (a Link to the Past, Kirby:Nightmare in Dreamland, and Metroid:Fusion), especially since I'm losing interest in gaming nearly completely now.

And on FPS I'm very tired of the genre, I've probably gunned enough people to reenact the Helms Deep battle at this point.

We need Bad Company. Too bad current DICE developers don't know why the fans want it in the first place.

Anyway, Baattlefield music is best music.

What would be the difference between Bad Company 3 and what we have now? The majority of the Battlefield players don't play the games for the campaign they play them for the MP which was originally the only thing to the series. We would go from what we have now for Battlefield to the same thing just with a silly campaign.

With the power of 8th gen and current PC's we would get a WW2 game that we haven't played before. Instead of having a section of D-Day we would end up getting the majority of a beach or something like CoD 2's Day but on a larger scale. The battles would be a lot closer to the real thing due to system power allowing that.

Bad Company 2 is the pinnacle of modern FPS's

He's not completely wrong, but 3 years is too little.

CoD is declining, and the FPS genre is becoming less popular too (but slowly)
