A combination of dumbing down, a move to competitive play against other people (for money reasons of course), statistics showing, progression (for better retention of the cash cow dedicated players), and an insistence that gaming is for everyone and not just for people who wanna chill (definitely for money) probably did it. Shame I didnt grow up in the good ol days when games were for fun
This is a good thing when it comes to listening to opinions on game balance actually
I 'member the good old days playing Battlefield 1942 for HOURS without so much of a hint of unlocking anything or even levelling up. Granted, mods experienced a golden age in those years and we got things like Forgotten Hope that constantly added different theatres and more realism.
I miss Halo Custom Edition, myself since I didnât have internet growing up
Would download cool maps to explore and a whole bunch that had AI and then just play those for hours fighting the AI and what not
And then there was Bad Company 2, BF3, and BF4 all amazing multiplayer games
Such a shame how they completely moved away from what made those games great into the spastic twitchy mach speed running shooters BF1 and BF5 were
To some extend Twitch. Especially the last kill event before Berlin became a soft OBT was cancer.
Yes absolutely
The devs NEED to stop doing those
Itâs a waste of our fucking money weâve given them and just generates such a shit playstyle for many of the players
Actually, Berlin is the most boring one.
Could you explain what that is? Twitch I know, but the other thing

Dude, Im sorry but listing Osprey as source proves you are not historically accurate. In recent years in historical reconstruction forums Osprey books have been bashed for being âartistical impressionsâ. I dont do Germans, so I cant recommend better books except photo reference and actually buying the original stuff.
Level 30 moscow Jerry and still loving it.
They had cash prizes for the most kills in a 24-hour period
Please introduce âcaptured PPD with 71 magâ german assault team i will buy it anytime
You get a point here. Besides the load of threads about improving AI (nothing wrong with that), in several discussions I couldnât but notice that âfarming botsâ tends to be referred to as a despicable, filthy activity only skilless peasants would indulge in, and unworthy of consideration from âproâ players.
Except, since (supposedly) weâre all here to have fun, whatâs wrong if someone is happy shooting bots? Thatâs what theyâre there for, after all. I, for one, appreciate the fact that a large amount of the soldiers in a match are AI, because they make the whole experience less hardcore.
That means I can play (somewhat) more relaxed and still have the chance to get some fun by shooting stuff, even if Iâm not that good vs human players.
But Iâm going off topic.
And to add,
Reminder that the CBT bots made for better teammates than the majority of OBT players
I miss them
I get that. And in fact, my point is that as long as itâs funny, who cares if the virtual target one pretends to shoot is moved by a player or an AI? Regardless of the game.
Itâs the implication that the bot is worse than your average player (which weâve been shown with OBT is entirely untrue) so it means less to fight 10v10 with 6-8 bots following every player compared to playing Lone Fighters which is entirely full of scummy players which makes it more high skill
Not an argument, try again next time please.
Youâre completely undeserving of a single reply after you tried to make an argument in bad faith and had the balls to try and be catty about it with the âoopsâ shit.
The premium weapons included in the squads usually werenât even at the battle the campaign is after
The Hyde certainly wasnât
The PPK wasnât
The MP-40/1 certainly wasnât
But you know that so you made that claim in absolute bad faith knowing he couldnât prove they were there because they werenât.
Pop doesnât deserve you wasting his time nor do I
Anyone want some popcorn? I bought some extra
