DICE is yet to give clarity on map sizes, comment section is the usual dumpster fire.

      They could have taken out “sweaty” and kept the same meaning but that probably wouldn’t have driven the same engagement.

          A specifically negative and demeaning connotation which isn’t necessary.

            Maybe? I’m not that deep in “gamer” culture, so I always just thought of it as descriptive of a particular intensity of play that leads to sweaty palms. We all experience that from time to time, some prefer it, others don’t.

              No, it means the guys who don’t take hygiene seriously. The Cartman Gamers, so to speak.

                No, it means the other. It is typically used in competitive games. The unshowered gamer is kind of an outdated trope at this point.

    Having never played a battlefield game, having last played COD when MW2 released: good! Not every game in the same genre needs to play the same way, and I suspect it’s healthier this way for the “soldier shooter” genre to propose different kinds of experiences.

    Interesting… I felt like I was the only person that doesn’t care for that kind of movement in shooters.

      It really depends on the kind of shooter and the average caffeine intake of the people playing it. Works great in Titanfall but doesn’t make sense for Battlefield.

        It feels like an additional layer of mechanics that I didn’t sign up for. I used it as necessary when playing Titanfall 2 but didn’t care for it there either!

    Just give them Counter-Strike running speeds with slow walk and with crouch.

    a “traditional battlefield experience” for me will always be the guadalcanal map. are we getting that back?
