@HundredProofSam My 0.02 dollars = if a new forum software or SaaS service would be better than IPB, then these forums be archived (and if possible, still accessible as read-only).

lol

How will they disallow it? Let Hamilton get into a spare car but not Max?

Keep up the good work, @abhi90

Persisting with the game. Moments of 'legacy' Battlefield are there - just not as often as with earlier iterations. Not many bugs to speak of, but the missing scoreboard, ability to change squads, regular (non-portal) server browser is a sore spot. e.g. have a great game with a team, and then everyone gets dumped into matchmaking again.

Excellent addition to the library. Kudos!

Most Battlefield maps are not suited for infantry-only. That said, one can call in vehicles in 2042, which is a welcome addition.

I've spent a few hours in game, and still don't understand how this is a Battlefield game. Was it too hard to have a standard server browser with varying game modes + map rotations? Was it too much to ask to have a teams scoreboard? And why do we need AI bots and 128 player games? I've gone through the Battlefield 4 launch, persisted with it despite bugs. I ignored Hardline. But this is something else - they have changed the way matchmaking is approached. My money would be on them caving in and coming up with standard server browser someday. Those steam reviews are something, though. Damn!

6 years later...

A Battlefield game is exactly that - a Battlefield game. The setting may change, the era being represented may change, but the overall mechanics and gameplay carried over. The launch version will have bugs, which will get ironed out (often introducing new bugs at a later time). There will be hackers from time to time. (Except Hardline, I have no words to describe that anomaly).

Went 144-0 today in a tank. Shot down 5 (maybe 6) choppers.

There's an option to disable crossplay.

Pre-ordered, pre-downloaded the Beta. Now we wait.

Finally managed to snag one. 970 -> 1070 -> 3070

When you need, contact Sam. He is (very kindly) managing the game on my behalf for the library.
