Recently my friend and I were talking about enlisted as the new (pale) update is coming. And I managed to collect some feedback from him, here it is:
TLDR:
The game is boring due to strong meta that almost always dissallows you to have fun by playing not meta.
My friend liked to play as engineer and fortify the area. The problem was that the game clearly discouraes most actions that aren’t about killing and being on the objective.
The meta since for ever is very clear and very strong: spawn, rush the point with SMGs and grenades, spam some more explosives on the way, die on the objective, repeat.
I know that some people like to play this way, but everyone who would like to do something else is being punished by the game. Players are punished for having fun instead of playing the meta.
Ps.
I wrote it with help of the bug report bug so don’t expect any replies. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Pps.
Some "engineer specific" feedback
Engineer buldings are too fragile in a game with a lot of explosions. One arty strike can level in a few seconds everything you have been building for last 10 minutes.
Shovels requite too much effort to use. Trenches are often uneven, annoying to use and generally lack usability in a run&gun game. Also they don’t provide score at all. Generally a waste of time.
To quote him: “If shovels were removed, nothing would have changed.”
it would be alot better if it wasnt a competitive game, all competitive games are toxic AF
well IRL artillery made barbed wire WORSE for soldiers and sandbags were more effective at protecting against arty then bullets
The game is (also) boring because three campaigns are basically the same except for some tanks and planes, one is Normandy and the other is Tunisia and the latest campaign is lazy union of three years/ two war phases.
In fact BFV is one of my top three Bfs along with underrated Hardline and BF4 due to gameplay (except gun stats).
Nonetheless, the marketing strategy was a disaster, and the whole game-as-an-service thingy strategy whatever doesn’t work if well you don’t deliver service apart from skins. Its harder to not hate the game.
Well when you put it that way.
Hey can you remind me when the qualifications for next enlisted major pro leagues starts ? I mean this is competive game so surely theres cups / leagues and even proper support for such activities.
Quite irrelevant to subject of realism.
And there has been destruction decades ago shame if someones toaster cant handle it but not really my problem.
