Not really concerned, at least there is split screen on consoles which is a big feature for me

Peace_Love_and_FPS3962d ago

I don't understand the disagrees, literally a harmless feature to have.

mogwaii3962d ago

Literally but you know what kids are like.

Peace_Love_and_FPS3962d ago

Yeah, I mean it's very important to me in particular but in my eyes if you're buying it because of split screen are you really impressed with the rest of the game?

I'll preorder BF but R6 can wait, no split screen there (which is ridiculous, they could have had local terror hunt). At least EA and Activision see the demand for it

MCTJim3963d ago (Edited 3963d ago )

I wonder if there are lobbies...just like cod where you can all get into a party and move game to game..or is it going to be rent a server....and I hate that.

Edit..guess I should have read more carefully: The EA rep did confirm that Star Wars Battlefront will have lobby system for friends to team up and play together.

Renting a server must suck for the people who pay for it, but custom servers are AMAZING to have... it's just too bad they aren't free for EA multiplayer games.

Vanilla, EA rules gameplay is fine, but you get some really nice customs going it can change the experience quite a bit.

So if they aren't going to allow free custom games, then I wish they did have rent a server. It's just more options to play to make the game overall better.

Ever think the ticket count was a bit low? Well with custom games you can make it a lot more.

Is there that one OP weapon/gadget that is killing everyone which ruins certain maps? Well you can take it out.

Just lots of little tweaks to the game that can make it better. One shot kill type games? Check. Pistol only? Check.

The only thing that sucks about the custom servers, is you have to pay for it, whereas in the some time ago, it used to be free, and able to be done even on console MP games.

You aren't wrong. Some custom matches are great. But there are also a lot of terrible ones. Like in BF4 when people set idiotic, nonsensical rules like "No Stingers." Yet they fly around in helicopters shooting everyone.

They're basically saying, "Okay guys, in this match i'm going to fly around in a helicopter shooting you and you can't fight back."

I know i'm exagerating but things like that really irritate me. Also, its pretty tough to get a full team and then join a server thats worth playing. Usually there isn't enough room for the whole team.

I'm perfectly fine with no server browsing.

LifeInNZ3963d ago

That sucks! At least offer it as an option for console owners.

user99502793962d ago

that is ridiculous. I use it religiously in bf4. allows you to join a crowded server more easily. poor move, DICE.

GreenUp3962d ago

This won't last long. Every Battlefield game had servers, no matter the platform. DICE probably was trying to put them in but issues arrived and the game needed to be released sooner than expected. I'm pretty positive they'll being server lists back in at a later date. Remember, this is DICE/EA we're talking about. The game will be in Beta for the first year and a half after it's retail launch just like Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 3. Battlefield started on the PC and that's where a majority of users play and will make noise. Server Lists are needed for a game like this. Save your money and wait a year to pick it up for $30 plus free DLC/Premium. That's what was able to be done with BF3 and BF4. Patience is a virtue.
