"EA and DICE, Damnit, just pay attention to your audience when developing your next Battlefield title". well this didn't age well.
Lmao
Aged like store bought bananas.
@@McLewisvNinja Wait where do you get your bananas?
Lol I was thinking the same
Then came Battlefield 2042
So glad you showed up on my recommendation thru that red dead video. I can see such a immense effort put into your videos. Really wish you showed up earlier as you need as much support as you deserve and so much more.
his channel is def gonna get noticed sooner than later
holy had the same experience
Same
Couldn’t agree more
@@lebuchen6954 exact same here
18:20 They did not listen. The amount of hype and support BF 2042 got at the announcement vs what it got at launch is staggering. And it's all EA and DICE's fault. Just like you said, we WANT to love their games but they keep messing them up with bugs, performance issues, horrible UI, and a ton of baffling decisions that ruin the fun of an otherwise great game.
It's because millions of people keep slurping up whatever they excrete and make excuses as to why it's somehow still good.
Nono, they did listen. They just didn't give a shit.
Which is worse. Much worse.
When they cared you guys hated them . So they do what everyone do .
woke bullshit and corporate greed at their finest
Him mentioning how they could fix the best battlefield at the end is so hilarious after the disaster of 2042
i'd say lmao but i got scammed out of $80
My fav memory from BF3 was when I joined server with 10000 tickets... War lasted non-stop for 8 hours... holy fuck, that was the most insane shit.
Damn all your videos are just as content-rich, I'm glad the algorithm did what it should for once. Excited to see you grow man, it's been like a day and you're from 16k to 25k. Hope you're ready for TH-cam fame brother.
Hahah thank you :))
aaaaaaand hes at 70k

I'm seriously so happy your RDR2 video went viral. You said you watched/drew inspiration from Jakey, and it shows. You still got your own style, which fits SO WELL. Subbed and binging all your videos. Keep it up! I love this sort of content and I can't find enough of it.
Thank you so much!!
I still am blown away anytime I jump into BF1, game was way ahead of it's time. From all the different primary weapons, the reliability of sidearms, bayonet charges, the different balances of melee weapons, etc it feels like you have so many options when approaching any situation.
yeah they had a great game and didnt keep any of the features for the other games they moved forward with. BF5 n BF2077 are trash. bf1 was the best battlefield for a modern title. wish the didnt abadon bf5 and move in the future. its sad man. battlefield is good, but not anymore.
It's really true about Origin: I've had my account compromised twice. The first guy just changed my profile picture and changed the base language to Swedish (easily reversible) but the second guy linked all of his consoles to the account, cheated out the wazoo, and got me banned from games that I don't even own on my account. When contacting support about this they just got back to me with the ol 'you're lying stop cheating' even when I asked them to literally look at my account and that they could scrub any data of those games from my account. Actual incompetency
Yeah mine got hijacked by some Russian dude. Guy just played BF3. Fortunately I didn't have any payment options saved.
Same thing happened to me as well.
so fucked up. sometimes I wish someone would go to the customer support in person and threaten em lmao
Exact same thing happened to me. Luckily the only game they cheated on was Apex. Unluckily that was a game that my friends and I were actively playing at the time. Support, multiple times, said "We banned you for cheating, you must've been cheating. BYE"
I'll give bfv this: the class mechanic changes were actually good and I liked building fortifications.
i would disagree. the support class was pretty uninteresting to play and underpowered compared to the others. And medic was just too good and necessary in breakthrough.
the fortifications for me didnt play much of a role as the game was too fast paced for them. Usually only being useful on barren maps like panzerstorm or iwo jima.
@@s_for_short2400 Fortifications are essential when you are on the receiving end trying to defend an objective. For example you would literally be shredded into pieces in objective C of Solmon Islands without fortifications. I would love to see them back in future titles with more exclusiveness to the support class
@@rami7092 thing is, stuff like this just isnt a problem in better designed maps. That objective becomes a barren hill either way. BF5 maps are just lacking cover (and really lacking permanant cover) a lot of the time, and i think fortifications are partly to blame because dice expected players to build it but most of the time thats not the case.
A proper fix would be better designed maps with more cover, and maybe add the ability to repair walls afterwards. It shouldnt be the players building the map mid firefight.
@@rami7092 as i said, id rather see better designed maps with more permanant cover, than fortifications.
If you go back to bf3 you'd see that we didnt need fortifications, and in bf5 they are needed only on badly designed capture points. I firmly believe that most maps would play better if the fortifications were built from the start, and then maybe let us rebuild them if they get destroyed.
@@s_for_short2400 "the support class was underpowered compared to the others"
MMG campers: *you what*
I personally find BF 1 to be more enjoying because it isn't as unbalanced as 5 and still holds up like a new game
Also, I really like your content and wish you all the luck in growing your chanel
Thank you! And i agree with that!
what the fuck do you mean. that grenade spam fuckfest is more balanced than BF V. lmao OK
@@skymarbles7953 Yes. Stay mad
@@skymarbles7953you mean the grenades that are all easily avoidable?
Inject that battlefield 3 theme and gameplay into my blood… I miss those days man.
Would love to hear your thoughts on 2042 man!
Yeah we waiting on it
Dude I loved the medium tanks in BFV. If you were good enough with the panzer and the valentine you could kill light tanks and tigers and Churchills and I loved how you had your own mini tank objectives with the vehicle resupply stations and you'd need them to full heal and reload your tank. I immediately judge vehicle games with infinite ammo less now... such a good change
I really enjoy your videos and have seem to have found some gold. The editing and pacing / storytelling is very entertaining. I was shocked to see you didn't already have 500k subscribers.
I'm sure you will soon. Keep on doing ya thing!
Thank you!!
Battlefield 1 was by far my favorite video game of all time, I loved the UI, I loved the gameplay, graphics, scale, history, everything about it, (except the Hellriegel) and I really hope they eventually remaster the game because it breaks my heart to try and jump into the game today and seeing how dead it is, being unable to play on my favorite DLC maps because nobody plays them. Battlefield V was just a watered down version of BF1, which was so disappointing to me, I was hoping it could improve on BF1 instead opting for stacks upon stacks of Micro transactions, and a shitty battle royale mode. Hopefully they take the next game after Battlefield 2042 back into the direction of BF1 and make another actually competent historical shooter.
Man well said. I also love BF1 and it's so sad to see them taking these huge steps back. It was present in BFV but in BF2042 it's just ridiculous the amount of features missing on launch. It's one thing if a BF game is not running well on launch but to be so blatantly missing big features just shows how lazy devs are getting. :'( Unfortunately a game like BF need a big studio behind it for funding but we really need a BF style game from a indie creator who actually gives a shit about their fans and their game
Still having a great time in bf1( on Europe servers though...)
Still having a great time in bf1( on Europe servers though...)
@kc korea I play at the moment apocalypse dlc
@kc korea I know but Bf 1 has no bad map actually in my opinion
dude whole bf3 life cycle was mind blowing.
i remember building a new pc just to play bf3.
first year after launch was mind boggling , long wait time on popular servers was very common , boosting servers came for unlocks , metro and damavand peak rush never went out of style.
Back to karkand was so nostalgic and well done.
then people were bitter because of some of EA’s little trickeries with dlc and origin ,
but in the end those 3 years were magnificent
GOOD OLD DAYS.
So strange seeing that youre not a big youtuber, the production and the script is as top!
Thank you!! :)
Impressive video. Kinda exemplified what aspects were left in BFV that still made it feel like battlefield (like the teamwork), that were kinda ditched in 2042
You're inspiring me to do better at my QA position. Keep up the good work!
Started following u a couple days ago and I'm loving your content bro!
You're one of the most interesting and underrated TH-camrs I've ever seen. I was a bit shocked to see that your subscriber count is not in the millions. Oh well, no worries, I expect it will be soon. Cheers!
He is not underrated, it’s a pretty new channel, only 9 videos in all.
Thank you!!
I appreciate the editing that went into this video because I can tell it was alotttt haha. Great content man
Love your channel man! Funny watching this after 2042 release - makes BFV look like a well polished masterpiece in comparison
I love the down to earthness of this video, with the audacity in the background. Man youre deveoping into one of my fav game reviewers
i agree with all your takes in this, except when at 14:51 you say that medic is the least powerful class. Unlimited heals and smoke and sub machine guns make it easily either best or second best (next to assault). It's the ultimate run and gun class.
Dude I'm just watching all of your vids in order. so much work put into these.
Thank you!!
Battlefield 3 was the first game I played myself, and I adored playing it every weekend when i was younger. BF4 was super fun as well, after the bugs were ironed out it was a great game, and BF1? I sucked at it but it was cool xD. Hurts to see what's happened to the series since, especially after 2042.
Seems like I’m not the only one who found you through the red dead video. Very cool to find your channel. I always like finding new creators that have a unique style of the jokey review guys. Definitely cool finding someone who feels new and distinct. Hope to see your channel grow over the years. Keep it up!
I haven’t stopped watching since I found a video from you. Keep making awesome stuff man!!! I had a seriously weird love hate relationship with BF5 a lot of time matches were hit or miss
Thanks!!!!
I remember playing Strike at Karkand, Dalian Plant and Gulf of Omand so goddamn much in Battlefield 2. And then I found Project Reality. What a goddamn revelation I had playing that mod. Most of my childhood was WoW, Battlefield, Dungeon Keeper and Diablo. Anyway, enough boomer-juice ranting. Really been loving all of your videos since the RDO went viral! Hope the influx of viewers continue.
Great content! Battlefield has always been my favorite when it comes to shooters and everything you said is spot on. Looking forward to BF6 release tomorrow! Hopefully it will be a step in the right direction for the series!
It’s tomorrow!? Man i’m so excited. Looks like it’s gonna be modern, which i’m looking forward too, thanks for the compliment and the info dude!
@@JackSather should've been more clear, an official trailer release is tomorrow lol
This comment aged like old milk.
Things that aged poorly:
Pinning this cause it’s hilarious how hyped I / we were 😂
Really great! Your videos are always fresh and clean while constantly making me laugh. Looking forward to the next
Thank you man!
Just realized this was made before 2042.... This poor man
Battlefield one is SO good. I love it, its my favorite in the series because its like.. the only world war 1 AAA game i know of. Super cool! Still play it often
I found you 20 minutes ago and you're already one of my favorite youtubers! Thank you!
Thank you :))
Great video. To me, BF2 is the one that has pretty much all of the fun and none of the issues. No launcher needed, no bugs, no stupid store, no crazy OP tanks, and you can even play against bots!
@Jack Sather: Those weapons you can buy in BFV are weapons which have been part of the Tides of War unlocks. They added them as buyable items later so people who missed out the weekly challenges still have a chance to claim those guns. Tanks are hard to counter, but the game expects players to put up anti tank guns, use aircraft and clever placed mines against them and counter fire from your own tanks. Players are only able to rape an enemy team with a tank if those players simply put suck, when a single well paced Pak could have propably saved them. Balance in MP games always depends on both sides doing their job correctly. The main issue about BFV was the delayed content and killing support for the title way too early. Otherwise the game could age like a fine wine.
Step by step literally the exact same issues happened to me. Preach.
I’m happy I ran across your videos! I really love your videos and you are doing a great job! I definitely can relate to a lot of the points you being up with these game reviews! Can you do one about For Honor? A lot of the videos about that game are kind of dated
Dude, when you cued the BF3 in the beginning after covering bad co 2... so much emotion came over me. It really is hard to explain... BF3 was the peak of the franchise IMO. 2042, along with the horrendous customer support from EA, was the final nail in the coffin for me though. RIP Dice and also burn in hell for what you did to our beloved franchise.
Great video even 2 years later, your plane death at around the 12 minute mark was a quintessential BF5 death and really got me laughing.
1. I love this game, it hurts they cut support as soon as it made a great change in playability with the pacific update. I tried to play some more recently and finally forced myself to uninstall due to the shear number of people cheating. If it were not for that, i would most likely still be playing this game with false hope-ium of another update. It is truly my favorite game to play, I didn't want to stop and still don't.
2. Uh, that end "plea"/comment didn't age well with 2042... they indeed... did not listen
3. Can they just focus on that "what makes battlefield good" formula that is extremely loved and successful, rather than chase other peoples successful trends?
You started playing Battlefield since BF2 ? Ahh a gentleman of culture !
Hallo battlefield heroes enjoyer here 🗿
Hahaha
There's nothing better than staying up late and listening to your reviews!
Everytime i see these small underrated channels i try always to subscribe to supoort great video
damn your videos are great and very similar to my interests. been craving a video game content creator like you! long. detailed. lots of work. very much enjoyed.
Thank you very much!!
I've felt each and every frustration listed, actually had forgotten about this game even though I'm pretty sure I spend a LOT of time on it
Been a big fan since Bf2 as well. Loved ever single game since, except for BfV which I have a love-hate relationship with. Got it when it first came out, but kinda forgot about it until recently when a couple of my friends bought it on sale.
We're a group of a total of 5 people that want to play it. We've actually played together 4 out of the 20 times we've attempted to. One or more of us keep getting bandwidth errors, or just can't launch the game. Is there a fix for it? Is it bollocks. This is the biggest issue for me. I have literally spent more time TRYING to get into a game than actually playing the game. And that is not a joke at all.
Then there's the fact that around 70 % of players use the same 3 OP weapons... I empty all my bullets into them and and they're still running around, they see me for a split second and hit me with like 5 bullets and I'm instantly dead. Which means you just have to lie there and accept you'll get butt fucked until you are able to get that weapon for yourself.
Tanks can go die. People that get into tanks can stay in that tank while the tank dies and explodes and burns.
And don't even get me started on the terrible team balancing, where you will either end up on the team that DOMINATES or the team that gets dominated. You either run around and can't find the enemy, or you can't spawn in for more than 5 seconds without being killed. There is very rarely anything in between, where both teams can have fun and get a decent amount of kills. I think I've experienced a balanced game 3 times.
It's a fun enough game with friends, even though you get stuck on the same 4 maps over and over again, unless you quit out of the gamemode and change into a different one: which we don't wanna do with how many issues we always have.
I would rather play one of the previous games to be honest. As for the newest Battlefield, I'm gonna wait till it's on sale. Like, a proper sale. This is the first time in 10+ years I haven't bought a Battlefield game on launch.
Well 2042 sure lived up to this, huh?
💀💀
I'll admit once the war in the pacific addon came out for BF5 I loved it!
Hey dude just found your channel, cool stuff. Thank you! Keep going, best of luck !
Man your videos are really good keep on pumping great content like this,your channel should pop up.
Battlefield 1 has the greatest soundtrack in BF series imo there are so many great themes The Wolves and Grace and Glory are my favourites it shows proper doom and gloom. I played BF5 during my free month of Origin pass because they repayed me cause their support broke my library of games or something I dunno...It was okay but I didnt feel like I was playing battlefield it was people running around nobody revived nobody gave ammo the atrition mechanic with 2 mags was dumb idea, squads reduce to 4 people is awfull they almost neutured. It especially hurts when next installment sucks even more than this game. But I give them props to innovate in some areas (movement additions, buildable barricade, bandages, ressuplyable stations build by supports) it sucks that these good things are overwhelmed with shitty marketing, buggy launch, lack of proper anticheat, origin problems and whole laundry list of other issues.
I will say that I really enjoyed BFV and I've sunk many, many hours into the game. A few points I'd like to make:
Tanks are NOT overpowered when you considered that every person in the game has an RPG or a grenade. Aircraft gets obliterated by any AA gun and since everyone has an rpg, tanks are immediately *annihilated* if they try and push forward. Not to mention the vehicles are INCREADIBLY difficult to level up, especially when you consider that vehicles are so hard to get to begin with.
While it has cross platform play, it DOES NOT have cross platform account transferring. This means that the hours I spent playing on my PS4 unlocking all of my favorite guns and my cool vehicle abilities, I had to start from scratch when I moved to PC.
Overall, I really enjoyed BFV and I feel as if it didnt deserve all of the hate it received.
(That being said, I waited a long time until after the game came out to play it.)
I was a diehard battlefield fan since the original 1942 on PC [not the 1943 arcade version]. BF3 was the last time they had good ideas and executed on them well. BF4 is really good now but was plagued on release and had a somewhat negatively recieved beta. Everything changed for BFV and as we see, going forward, someone in marketing is now in charge of the game's direction so it no longer has a direction.
So happy I stumbled upon your channel 🙌🏼
I remember I got this one perfect squad in bf5, best squad for countless games in a row, we were on point, legit the saving grace of our team, it was so much fun, never played with those guys again
I've started back BF1 a couples weeks ago, that game still blow my mind away. Maybe a video on this one someday?
I love the realism of bf but my friends are a all fast paced cod players so me wanting to play battlefield asking them to play with me they say no so then I play by myself a have the same problem with rdr2 I love it my friends hate it it’s almost like they have ADHD (they don’t I do) and can’t handle the slower paced game
@kc korea depends on the game mode and the map.
Telling you while playing bf 5, you gotta listen to ww2 era music that shit will give u chills.
I got into it late because the trailer was so ridiculous. The woman with the claw in a WWII setting not being realistic, one of the developers said, "If you don't like it don't buy it"
So I didn't. Eventually I did but by then everyone was miles ahead in weapon unlocks and my interest just faded out.
Bro i just found u on RDR2 video , sheesh , i m so glad that i found u fo real . Keep it up !
ooof the battlefield 3 music hits
at 4:47 i was expecting a smash cut to a vpn ad. i was very wrong so here's a sub for that
You broke down so many in-depth details about this game and had solutions on how things could go better. I am impressed with your ability to understand and see all of those details. And the video was another good one! :)
Thanks Esther!!
4:06 that comparision of battlefield and fallout looks so similar it hurts
Everyone collectively forgot about that one game that came out in 2015 with the cops
You cracking a beer in the first seconds of the video has earned you a sub
U wanna get dominated by this guy? Alright man I get it I guess
I would really love to see a follow up to this... I couldn't ever imagine DICE could get any worse than BF4's and BFV's launch... but ohhh boy, here we are!
I think the realistic edge is what set BF apart from Call of Duty with its freedom in the early days with combined arms but then in a visually violent way and masterful sounddesign. That's why bad company 2 is considered the best which DICE admitted they aren't sure what it's loved more in my humble opinion. So if they look at how popular the simulator lobbies on the new portal system are and compare it against a game like Hell Let Loose which is the best battlfield game ever made despite ot actually being one. If they follow this trend and marry their visual/presentation with a violent action that almost veers into horror aspect of war that hits the adrenaline itch BF1 poked at in its most chaotic moments then they are on to something huge that will alter the mainstream trajectory of the shooter genre.
So what's next for Battlefield? Which war best encapsulates the horror of war?
Battlefield Vietnam. In fact it's already has a blueprint in the form of Rising Storm Vietnam that is great so adding a DICE lick of paint is an incredible property. That or Battlefield Korea.
Luv the reviews!
Yo great video spaced it out very nicely
Ngl at 8:29 that montage was pretty epic 👍
0:41 I spit my coffee from laughing at this NAKZNSKXND
18:00 this aged like milk
BFV sound design was amazing, perfect footstep audio
8:50 I felt that headshot. NICE
That headshot "ping" sound is still the most satisfying sound in battlefield history
What happended? the OGs of devs started leaving left and right, and in return they had to hire people that didn't have a similar experience like the OGs to make a great BF Game. Thus the passion died and it all became minimal effort maximum profit. Only focus. THAT. Is what happended.
That Montage when he says he actually likes the game is a piece of art
do you know the name of the music that plays during it?
Bruh, I want another Battlefield V video. I cannot stop rewatching this. Epic vid man!
I love literally all your videos. Your humor and vocabulary are hilarious 😂 battlefield 5 had me on the runner for the longest when it first came out, i couldnt connect to ANYONE 😭
This video hits like a truck after the release of 2042. How emblematic of DICE's resistance to change.
Battlefield 1 is my favorite one!!! I too played BF2 inviting my friends over for a lan party and playing till 7 in the morning.
Any chance you’d take a peek at Red Orchestra 2 or Post Scriptum? They are the next step from battlefield in terms of WWII games, highly recommend if you want digital ptsd.
As someone who started playing bf5 multiplayer in early 2021 after getting game pass with a series x, I really really enjoy how fun the multiplayer is. I watched from the outside all the launch controversy and totally understand but just from my experience of jumping in a game its so fun. The shakiness I agree with joining games etc but I just enjoy playing.
It's actually in really good shape on Xbox currently. The last updates they did before moving onto 2142 really made it come into it's own.
YES!!! Finally! Someone else who experienced Origin getting hacked. They played Battlefield 3 on my account and put suppressors on EVERYTHING. They played support though so I'm happy about that.
😂 so glad someone is out there understanding my pain! And dude ya! They played like.. star wars on my account? That’s hilarious they leveled support for ya haha
I had a glitch where I couldn’t unlock new guns. So never gave it a chance. I tried it again a while ago I can at least use the dlc guns since they’re not tied to progression. But it’s just a level of jank and carelessness that I’ll never get over. It’s going to take a lot to buy another battlefield.
I actually got BF5 to work first try on PC through steam lol.
I also really loved BFV for its gameplay, it was just a lot of fun to play imo. It was pretty sad to see the potential of the game squandered.
I never owned a PC that could run games well, until 2020. I was 20 yrs old and very driven towards Battlefield even though I never played any of its versions before. Bf 5 was the first game, I purchased. I absolutely fell in love with it. The diverse nature of the game, beauty of the maps and the feel of weapons alongside the classes, basically whatever you mentioned. On the top of that, many things worked out perfectly by 2020, I faced less bugs than you for sure but sadly one issue grew so big that it drove me insane, HACKERS! Ever since I never looked back, I switched to Apex and now I am getting tired of it too. It's true that EA is the devil. Anyways, I kinda missed BF5 so I ended up here and probably going to play Apex, till I can't anymore. Idk why but I stick to one game only.
Origin is also the only service I had my account hacked and sold by some Russians. The guy who bought it leveled me really far up in BF4 though, and was a good player and had a good KD/R at least.
I'm mad it wasn't about my favorite underused FPS conflict: Vietnam. BF1 was about WW1, in response (at least to me) COD WW2 was about well WW2, and then BFV was teased and I was like "hey, it has V in the title, not 5, it must stand for Vietnam!". How disappointed I was.
Also in terms of fps it's impressive as even tho it is hard to play the game when actually in a game it's performance is real good
What an awesome Content! Thx brow!!
Your vids are low key entertaining and feel good to watch
The recommendation for DICE to listen to their player base in their next game didn't age well
Dice listened to the community when they introduced customisation options in BFV and people hated it.
Couldn't have said it better myself, although i feel like a lot of these problems are due to being on PC. A lot of these don't really exist on console.
Lol the planes tranes and automobile reference!
“Those aren’t pillows!”
So… when are we playing?!
EA: thanks for your input, we will be doing absolutely nothing you suggested
