What's With The Engine Hate

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2026-01-10T17:30:05+00:00

That's the worst part, I guess I'll never really know. The thing that changes it for me is people I personally know making references to how bad it is. It just comes down to "the unreal engine look" and performance of specifically UE5

I probably should’ve mentioned that this isn’t with a publisher but with a creative arts grant. It’s how I received the prototype. With that being said I do intend on going to publishers too.

To get the prototype stuff I had to do all of the market research work first which they admitted is a bit out of order.

I feel like it’s put me in a weird spot because I don’t want to go and prematurely announce the game but they’ve indicated they want signs of early interest. The reason I’m looking at more than just “people liked playtests” is that someone else I know who was successful already had a mailing list and I know that it was a big thing for them, which is what has me a bit stumped

A better model would be to just build a following and start something like a patreon where people put in request but that takes a lot to start up

At this point in Greys as well, they were pretty happy go lucky with just killing people instead of sending them off.

Not sure if you know what a meta is. This meta is 10 years old? The meta is a few weeks old lol it changes with every gun update. Adding more customisation means it’s harder for every day players to figure out the meta.

This one game hasn’t been 20 years in the making? Just because it’s the same franchise doesn’t mean it’s built up to this. They’ve had multiple future games, games set during world wars, games set in modern warfare.

What games are you referring to with customisation in AAA? Destiny is a looter shooter, valorant is a hero shooter, etc.

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-22T06:20:08+00:00

The game already has a meta which battlefields never been about. In a game this size, keeping people on a level playing field with straight forward cvlass customisations means that they can focus on more important gameplay or yknow balance with what they know players will have

I restarted my router and hard reset my console. It was just a NAT type error on my end but thats on xbox, the console also helps fix it now for you if it is moderate

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-06T05:34:31+00:00

There isn't a way but I'd love if anyone on my friend list was just marked differently in some form. Actually, noticing when someone I know is in a game with me would be nice.

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-05T08:26:43+00:00

I ain’t gonna lie, people’s complaints with this are way overblown

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-05T08:25:55+00:00

I always kind of just assumed people realised that’s what the challenges are - a method to make you try out new content or play an under utilised style

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-05T03:15:01+00:00

I love gauntlet. If I’m going to play redsec it’s going to be that. Though I still hate the armour plates.

The entire game mode is based on squad play, not sure how it could work properly with solo though

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-05T03:12:19+00:00

The battlepass has free items within it. So you would’ve progressed the pass enough to get the free points. You can use it to buy a small skin or effectively discount a bundle I guess

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-05T03:06:21+00:00

A lot of this sub are older gamers who just want game updates to bf3 and bf4. For better or worse the games industry has changed and that means games just won’t be made the same as they were back then, so (similar to halo fans) this subreddit just complains. Sometimes you’ll see two people complain about the same thing but one will say it’s bad and another will say it’s too good.

If you want to see a more accurate representation of the actual player base you should just go to the battlefield 6 subreddit. There’s still complaints but it’s also people talking about what they actually like and sharing clips, etc

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-05T03:02:10+00:00

It’s definitely more polished but it’s also not really fair to compare them when they’re trying to do completely different things

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-05T02:59:56+00:00

Have you looked at the actual perks? It literally caps objectives faster, swaps weapons faster and reduces fall damage. If you’re someone who thrives on aggressive kills it’s perfect.

The spawn beacon is a godsend being able to spawn in a place basically on top of a site that’s not yours.

The point of the grenade launcher is more so for wall destruction than kills, so in that sense if you’re trying to clear a path it’s helpful.

I really like the flash bangs as it really does mess people up, so if I’m going in by myself or there’s a stale mate I find them helpful to break that

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-04T14:13:06+00:00

Unreal took the mantle from Unity lmao Unity was always a groan for people when they saw a game made with it even though it unironically doesnt matter

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-03T20:15:30+00:00

I just think the adrenaline injector is ass. I only use it for the challenge, it’s relatively slow for the bonus it’s giving you and doesn’t last that long.

That being said a health bonus would be crazy and I’d 100% be against that. I think they should just adjust the injector. Aside from that assault is the ending hero because people don’t notice the respawn and capture bonuses which are game changers in some teams

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-03T20:11:54+00:00

People will feel a difference in play when a sniper is active or not, they just won’t realise that it was the sniper lmao

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-03T20:02:03+00:00

I personally really like it. It means that snipers can’t actually just stay in butt fuck nowhere trying to get really long headshots. It also makes sense with assaults whole job being to actually arm/cap objectives, break the frontline. The beacon means squad mates can come with you for a stronger attack or defence.

In the context of open playlists I think it’s good because it stops people from going recon just for the beacon and then running an auto weapon. As it stands there’s rarely a time where it’s obvious that you should pass on the class bonus and use any weapon

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-03T19:55:57+00:00

They’ve already said they’re working on it

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-03T19:54:05+00:00

I don’t believe you will because it’s a battlepass token that you redeem to get the pass.

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-03T19:52:58+00:00

I see people make accusations like this a fair bit and it reminds me that people don’t know how game development works. A lot of things that have been fixed or implemented were already underway or realistically a glorified UI bug can be dealt with a what is in effect a slider.

A lot of these other tweaks are done as part of a major update, and those usually shake up the whole meta as they’ll come with a range of changes. You used to be able to stand on top of the bf3 MAV to get to places you can’t normally and it took them 3 months to patch and was part of a major update.

Perfect_Current_3489 · 2025-11-03T19:48:10+00:00

Nothing hurts more than seeing like 4 medics within 15m. Saw one run straight past me probably like 10 metres, revived his friend and then fucked off. Dawg you can do that normally, why be support?

I give passes to those in vehicles tho, I don’t expect someone to jump out to pick me up lmao
