In the coming weeks, we can expect to hear a lot more information about Battlefield V which is due for release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC later in 2018. It is set during World War II and from what I have recently read, will be a kind of sequel to the awesome Battlefield 1 which sounds very interesting to me.
Well, we all know what happened with Star Wars Battlefront II on the Microtransactions front. Battlefront II was also made by Dice and put out by EA so many gamers, were understandably worried that Battlefield V may have a loot box system that is unfair or maybe some kind of pay to win system which Star Wars Battlefront II certainly had.
Star Wars Battlefront II is actually a fine game, there is a lot of good in it, but the damage is now done and the black mark next to its name will never be erased. Not only that, it put a really dark light on the whole industry.
Battlefield V though is not going the Star Wars Battlefront II route thankfully.
“No one’s gonna do any pay-to-win stuff anymore,” one person close to the next Battlefield told me recently. “We didn’t take any of the loot box controversy lightly.”
That is a direct quote and I have also since learned that any loot boxes that are going to be in Battlefield V will be for cosmetic items only. I like this and think it is a good way to go about loot boxes. Taking the way Overwatch handles their loot boxes is a good way to go if you ask me and it sounds like that is the kind of thing that Dice are looking to do with Battlefield V.
While I am having a great time with Call Of Duty WW2 and I have actually gotten used to no longer being able to double/boost jump or run along walls. I must admit that with the next Call Of Duty game, the heavily rumored, Black Ops 4 being set in a more modern time. I am actually quite hopeful that the folks at Treyarch may bring back wall running.
The slower more methodical pace of Call Of Duty WW2 is a very nice change of pace and apart from the limits on how long you can run, I have not actually heard anyone complain about it. However, with wall running being in the last Black Ops game, I do have a feeling that this may be something that Treyarch want to keep in. I have felt that their COD games are always a little more fast paced, with an emphasis on run and gun and that is cool with me.
Being able to boost in Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare was actually something that I thought was pretty cool. It was always pretty cool being able to run along the wall, boost jump and then shoot someone. While I have a strong feeling that wall running will return in the next COD game. If the rumors are true that the next game is set in a modern setting and is a “boots on the ground” type game that we have heard so much about. I do not think that boost jumping will be part of it.
I would love to know if you guys would like to see wall running or boost jumping return in Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 or whatever this year’s game is going to be called.
