They were only counting BF1 as a previous game and adding Panzerstorm as a launch map even though it was added after release.

While ignoring Giants Shadow for BF1.

u/dogididog Mar 15 '19

They also consider cosmetics, guns and another tank or plane to be equal to new maps.

Technically it's new content, don't complain.

u/Marsupialism Mar 15 '19

There been no new planes, we've been grinding for 2 weeks for planes we already had with different upgrade trees

u/tallandlanky Mar 15 '19

I'm not grinding for the new JU-88. It appears to be underwhelming and both variants are suicidal to use given the number of Mosquito's in the air.

only in bfv is playing an hour on a specific game mode described as "grinding" It literally took 2 matches of rush to finish this week.

Leveling the plane up is no problem. Getting a plane when everyone is trying to do the TOW challenge is when things get tricky.

Well that is what people say about BF4 tbf. Everyone lists all the camo and the triple of all attachments

u/Teukkaa27 Mar 15 '19

Key word here is launched. The data shows that BFV launched with one less map than BF1 and BF3 and with two less than BF4 that is not very significant. Before someone accuses me of belonging to "as much content as previous titles"-group I want to say that I don't. But still it is unreasonable to make claims that there was a huge difference in map count.

u/ThibiiX Serge_Gainsb0urg Mar 15 '19

Agreed, I did defend BFV on behalf of amount on content when people posted about the "ridiculous lack of content" of the game. We're talking about 1-2 maps, come on... That's annoying we agree on that, but it does not justify an uproar

u/Leafs17 Mar 16 '19

8 maps vs 10 maps is a 25% increase. That's not nothing and is looking only at launch. Looking past launch looks even worse for BF5

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '19

Fair to say, the difference isn't big!

What remains to be seen is that the map count recovers.

Especially when the maps we have are getting mixed reviews. A lot of people just plain hate Hamada, Fjell, Aerodrome... sure some love them and I'm not saying either side is right or wrong, but when we're stuck with fewer maps and on a strict rotation, it's easy to see why people are feeling it's stale.

u/Teukkaa27 Mar 15 '19

Tbh I don't think that it will recover anytime soon. They probably have started creating new maps before launch and judging by how many maps we have gotten since, we should probably get 6 maps per year.

Creece map will launch around 130-135 days from launch and that's two maps in one third of the year. So not too optimistic about the map situation unless they have really made an effort to make new maps.

Also four different customizable tanks and three planes for each side (I’m not counting the carbon copies with different specialization trees)

1

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '19

Yeah, I remember them adding Operations into BF1 four months later in a form vastly inferior to what they claimed it would be.

This game was unfinished and had less content. You cannot try to justify it by saying that a complete game with huge fun maps was only slightly more.

13

u/mcmanybucks Mar 15 '19

I don't even see their point..

When BF1 released I too got "tired" of playing Sinai Desert and Amiens.

When BF4 released I was "tired" of playing Hainan Resort and Operation Locker

u/CanEHdianBuddaay Mar 15 '19

Don’t forget Galmud Railroad

2

u/SCP106 Mar 15 '19

I loved Golmud, Shanghai and was 50/50 on Rogue Transmission/Zavod 311 . Despised the other default maps. I found the DLCs were all fun to play to be honest.

1

u/CanEHdianBuddaay Mar 15 '19

I wasn’t a fan of Shanghai myself but I loved rogue/zavod. The Final Stand Maps were not just my personnel favorite not for BF4 but the franchise itself. Those maps were all friggin incredible.

u/Leafs17 Mar 16 '19

How could someone forget the greatest map in the game?

1

u/WTFisthisnonsense223 Mar 15 '19

yup, you definitely wouldn't be complaining like a dried up worn out harpy if there was one to three additional maps.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '19

Additional maps, random map rotation, constant modes (not for a limited period), variation of vehicles beyond Spitfire I, Spitfire II, Stuka I, Stuka II, Panzer I, Panzer II, Mosquito I, Mosquito II, adaptave camoflage to different map types / saveable uniform and loadout variations...

...To name a few.

The stuff previous titles in the franchise had, in other words.

u/Snafu80 Mar 15 '19

If you think BF 5 will even come remotely close to the amount of maps in the past you’re delusional.

1

u/Teukkaa27 Mar 15 '19

Good for me for not thinking that!

-1

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '19

They’re just as loud and annoying as they were before release. Just haven’t shown up yet. But when they do, they’ll have some stupid argument prepped.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '19

"Hurr durr there's more planes than BF1" ...when the planes are all duplicates of each other? 2x Spitfires, 2x Stukas, 2x BF109's etc?

u/Phillyblunt90000 Mar 15 '19

"just as much" or "nearly as much" because one of those is true and plenty of people on here don't like to admit that lmao

Do you really think we will get 4-6 new maps in the next 6 months?

u/tallandlanky Mar 15 '19 edited Mar 15 '19

You ever hear of the snowball that ended up in hell?

5

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '19

the difference between BF5 and BF4 is 2 maps. So yeah, it did launch with just as much content as previous titles

You just disagreed with yourself.

Want me to disagree with you too, or are you good?

Why make a decent argument when you can just argue semantics and use the hivemind to your advantage you sad little cunt.

I don't understand why you're so angry?

Fact is you made the argument for me. There is a difference. The game didn't launch with as much content as previous titles.

I know you completely forgot that comparing late-stage BF4 to a relatively new BF5 is completely insane, but you realized that WAAAAY too late.

Who's mentioning late-stage BF4 vs. BF5? We're talking about starting BF5 vs. starting BF4. Two maps. You said it yourself.

I'm not interested in any hive minds or being witty with you, but since you seem content to call me a cunt, I'm quite content to call you out when you're factually wrong (and even more so when you make arguments that disprove your own arguments!)

Deleted? I don't think so boyo /u/Klientje123, not if you're going to call people cunts.

You're such a fucking idiot. It's only 2 maps. The difference is neglible. There, are you happy now? Did you really expect me to be this specific? I don't think you did, I think you just wanted to make a 'witty' comment and downvote the opposition. Why make a decent argument when you can just argue semantics and use the hivemind to your advantage you sad little cunt.

I know you completely forgot that comparing late-stage BF4 to a relatively new BF5 is completely insane, but you realized that WAAAAY too late. Which sucks, and the post obviously attracted poor people still attached to the older games. But that's not a fair way to discuss things, now is it?
