Will Battlefield Hardline be as good as BF3?
Alright, one field I'm actually good at:In short, all we can say is that it likely won't be. And that's mostly due to how Battlefield games are known to get a bit worse each successive time. The maps and modes will be coming in as DLC throughout the year, which will require another 50$ or so. In addition to that will be the MP issues that come standard with every game these days.The theme for cops vs. robbers is new for the series, and it may offer some new content in terms of modes and how we play the game, but its a vast departure from traditional large scale maps with military vehicles. Most people would consider this as non-canon. And not a real Battlefield game. This can be attributed to the rising requirements of online gaming, as well as the number of features that are supposed to be in the game. If you remember BF4 and the problems that were around for 6 months after launch, its shuddering to imagine that it happened to a game as big as BF4, especially when it is reliant on its MP part.When I think about BattleField 3, it was a game that looked amazing (at the time), and the Multiplayer worked well for the most part. Of course, people would argue the iterations before were better, but I started with BF3, so can't comment. But take a look at any franchise, the games that came out before are almost always better, in recent times, than the latter ones. The ones that I can think of where the franchise churned out titles not quite as good as the ones before it are Infamous: Second Son, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Far Cry 4, etc. It isn't that these games are worse than the ones before, but we expect so much more of them, and their development is affected as a result. More often not, making the developers compromise on quality and quantity just to get it out sooner.On top of that the DLC thing which now charges for everything that should come as free, or at the very least included with the game. Leading to a fragmented MP experience.
If i buy battlefield 4 premium on origin, i get to play the game aswell? or its just a dlc?
Premium gives you all the DLC, early access to DLC, and a few bonuses such as exclusive camo's and artwork but you still need to purchase the core game.
Is it cheaper to pre order a game or to buy it after it's released?
In terms of physical game releases, per-ordering is actually more helpful than some think. Big AAA to smaller indie studios planning retail releases need to know how many copies to have made, so those pre-orders help them decide. Some AAA games already have certain big sales targets, so numbers over that end up used as bragging rights by publishers (which becomes a “shipped vs sold” issue that’s worth a post in and of itself).Now, we all know a AAA game these days never seems to “sell out” completely, but demand for popular titles sometimes outstrips availble supply in a few markets. One thing that’s a certainty is with most AAA releases, you’ll see plenty of cheaper used copies show up after a period of time. This statement doesn’t include holidays when hugely popular games shoot up in price for new and used copies thanks to those who need that big gift and will pay more for it.Both big and smaller publishers who don’t see many pre-orders on certain games may only have one run printed, making those games harder to find and thus more in demand later (meaning the price goes up in some places thanks to scarcity).Digital-ONLY pre-ordering has become common but is somewhat unusual because while it’s really not necessary (you don’t “run out” of digital codes for consumers), some titles allow for “pre-loading” games in order for those that pre-ordered to download and play them slightly earlier than those who don’t pre-order. In these cases, some publishers offer discounts and/or digital/physical bonuses to those who can’t wait, but the % off varies wildly from publisher to publisher.Back to cost for a second. If a game is reviewed poorly, in most cases, the asking price (MSRP) may drop fairly quickly for a new copy (whether it be digital or physical). In SOME cases where a game with a low physical print run has received poor reviews, the asking price of the physical version goes UP, but the digital price stays as-is thanks to not many retail copies existing, curious gamers or collectors snapping up all available copies, and a publisher needing to make a profit while they can at the MSRP.
Why is Battlefield lagging hard when I have a full connection?
Description?Which Battlefield?Full connection?Multiplayer games runs on ping lower the ping better the gameplaywhat's ping? its a time taken by game/server to get your input, registering it on server and than giving you output… its so fast that it is measured in miliseconds.what's lag? lag is consider a pause while transitioning from one frame to another!what's high ping stutter? its a type of stutter where you’re put back to last position even if you have moved! its like after moving a bit game take you back and says, “sorry we didn't registered your input” and after a sec it moves to your position and says “sorry for not registering your input before”.Battlefield is a franchise of DICE and they are very lazy in providing data center to many countries Like south east Asia, Australia… so native people switch to data centers away from their country, thereby increasing the distance and adding more digits to ping.I get 60 ping in Cod games as there are Indian serversbut I get 180 ping(best) in bfbc2 and bf3. BF4 and BF1 are similar from what I have searched.I consider 180 is playable in bfbc2 and in COD but in bf3 its a penalty if you play.Several Indian players are boycotting DICE games just for this issue…hope it helped!
Is battlefield 4 still active and worth getting?
It would seem as though it is still active, and I personally think it is worth getting. Especially for the steep discounts you’ll often find.I just checked my server browser (it’s 9:40am here; not exactly peak gaming time) and there’s one full 64/64 server, and another 20/64 server. That’s two populated servers, in Australia, which is not the primary source of the Battlefield population anyway.I would take this information and infer that, in a more populated region like the US or the UK, there would be even more activity. Then try again at peak gaming time (somewhere between 6:00pm and 11:00pm for most, I should think) and I’m sure there will be several full servers, even here in Australia.I reckon you should get it, if you can find it discounted. Especially if you can get the DLC as well. Good luck to you, in any case.I’ll see you on the battlefield.
Should I buy Battlefield 1, Overwatch, Destiny 2, or Battlefront II for the end of 2017?
Ah okay, so here’s a little run down and I’ll drop in now which I would get if I didn’t have it already. Overwatch is what I would choose but here’s the strengths of each game.So Overwatch has a huge roster of players, there’s 25 (soon to be 26) playable heroes. Now because of all of this, no two games are the same, you can play one game and you have a certain team against you, but next game those people wont pick the same characters. There’s an arcade which for 9 wins you get 3 free loot boxes, this resets every week. Competitive gamer? Play competitive. You get ranked and you can climb your way up. The only problem lies in people demanding you play certain players just because they don’t have someone healing them 24/7. I usually just tell them where to go.Destiny 2. Wonderful graphics and similar gameplay to the original. I don’t know about their DLC plans but I imagine, very similarly to the first one, the whole campaign will sit behind virtual toll booths. The game looks good but I know the DLC will take you down if you want the full campaign.Battlefront 2. It looks superb, the planets are visually pleasing, space battles, and the heroes look incredible. I can’t lie, but the big issue is BATTLEFRONT 1 SUCKED. I was so disappointed that before I even go close to Battlefront 2, I’ll be reading reviews, and I’ll be doing research for a few weeks because I’m not giving EA another £50 only to get immediately disappointed.So I think Overwatch out of them, but do your research and listen to other answers, you’ll come to a decision soon.
