Why don't you play?

[weekend_nachos]

total numbers of players will increase with a new map however the ratio between the maps may be distant. In battlefield new players could always a chose a safe and simple map to learn the game. practice is useless in this regard. If there was a second map than atleast new players could pick and chose which one to play at what times to get the most enjoyment. What my previous posts were supposed to mean, is that while everyone is entitled to an opinion I find it in poor taste to constantly talk shit to newbs/casuals who dont seem to be firing back at you. If you cant enjoy the game for your own reasons and instead rely on getting your enjoyment depending on how others play you need to readjust your approach. You wont last long.

Kids who quit low are lame, but thats going to happen. kids who run from raids dont want to die, and I dont blame them. kids who tags raids and than run should be chased harder, as the kill is now that much sweeter. the beasts should still be shouted out. People who only pph can either be annoyed or ignored. Id suggest a combination of the both, as the game needs people who pph to start activity when theres none.

I just think youre getting too emotional. Its really not a big deal, people dont agree with the ethics you preach in the essentially 4th installment of the game. Almost everyone here had what you want at some point in time, respect and great teams etc etc. some of us have been playing this game for half a decade before you even returned, dont be so surprised when we alter our playstyle to keep the interest. The game doesnt seem to generalize activity.

This is a much more reasonable post from you than from before. And i agree with some things in here. Again let me state that I don't necessarily care how anyone plays on the main field. But it's the double standards people have and how they go about it. I:E bitch at people for not taking raids, but then dodge themselves. Or talk about fairness yet play shadily the next hour, especially on hidden tanks. All I ever ask for from people is honesty. Thats what you get from me always, I don't have reasons to lie or hide shit from anyone, anywhere in life. The worst part about this shit that bothers me the most is that it's being done by people who know better. I hate the innocent act and when people straight up lie in your face about shit.

Also I don't / try not to talk shit to real newbies, I let them be on their own, or at least give them reasonable messages and props on the tpbb. Cept Ashrak, but I've only posted against him once, mainly because I got one of 2 kills ever on him, and it's funny. Personally I like the guy on the field, gives me something to do thats probably fun for both him and I.

The more people the better. This ups the chances for players to ideally pick their styles of play but if theres a lot more people, yes a lot of the bullshit would be overlooked because there would be all types of play for all players on the field. People learn by example and follow their idols. Mine was madmike, the guy always spoke of fair play and taking raids, and he was a beast. Since I saw him wreck a raid thats how I decided on my play style. I always wanted to earn everything myself and push myself to limits. And I'm honored to have someone like theintern who told me he was inspired by my play on the field.

The whole pph thing only bothers me because I don't really like watching people ask people to come pph. Then you have forces in map that could cause a fun multi color battle, but everyones off in their corners doing whatever. Don't get me wrong I like to pph and agree its needed for people to be in map for others to join in, but when theres like 15 in map and no ones trying to make it challenging its kind of like "meh" for me. Some people like Devastator and Elliot make it fun because they try and kill you always, unless its only the two you / very small amount in map.

I come from an oldschool mentality and I get that, but that's what works for me. Fair play and honesty isn't hard to ask for, but most cant help but lie about everything. So what if I'm vocal, is it so wrong to give a shit though? I;ve been beasting counter strike after a like 11 year hiatus from it, and I watch the players band together when a cheater comes in map, or if someones just being a general fuckass they get kicked. Its pretty refreshing watching people care about the integrity of the game and booting those who made it shitty for everyone. Granted i know the significant differences between that game and this, but I find it depressing to watch everyone here just okay everything. TP1 was a better example with how you know who and his crew were just allowed to do whatever they pleased in tournaments, then admit and brag about it when it went down and still got nothing done, and the community had nothing to say.

ya i dont get why SW let it go on for so long. now there are in game messages in tourneys about fks, and bans if it happens. its almost like he let tp1 go to shit via tourneys because he knew he was coming out with a second version? almost like that was his beta stage.

I used to prefer back in the day when people could play how they wanted to without getting put on blast.

as somebody who was put on blast back in the day with death threats and shit over a game back in battlefield for simply wanting to be general and not getting killed by speedhackers, this never happened. in my experience people in these games were even more hostile over how people played back then than they are now. but maybe that's just because back then there were a lot more people to allow hostility

I don't think it was that people were more hostile but that there were more players, more elite players, and more players that wanted our community to not play like shitheads. When someone did play like they were called out for it and it was relentless and beautiful.

I was a lot more hostile though, that is for sure. Gotta grow up someday though.

yea there were more elite players, but then slowly they left bc they were mad about others play style, until there were only those left with such play styles. i remember back when there was the 1st and 2nd generation of Bf players, there were so many elite players, but then when the 4th and 5th generation started coming around the newer players were more about pph and as the older players got mad and left, the game slowly transitioned to more of a pph style game as more and more elite examples left until the end of the game. moral of the story is dont leave and let the game transition to something bad, play and set the example you want new players to see and they will follow.

[SW]

Maybe the elite players left because the game isn't really balanced in their favor; for example, top 25 has little to do with skill.

The BF community was interesting... it kinda existed on its own.

remove the points system and make it so raid takers get the most rewards. AOW and Devastator top 10.

the true moral of the story is that this game does not reward this 'elite' play. the fastest players survive easier, the smartest players get the most points, and the guys who think this game should be held to the same standards as a major sporting event watch as they get passed on the leaderboards, rack up countless deaths and sit at low ranks. other than the props and imaginary 'elite' title what did they achieve?

players are more efficient now a days. no longer do you have to spend 500 hours to get top ten. you can do it in 200. when you think of it purely as a time vs reward scenario, theres no other way to play other than to maximize your points per hour. you spend far less time for a far greater award. remember, this game didnt start out with the sole purpose of showing who could take the biggest raid and smile. it started out strictly as a leaderboard. than awards were introduced. tournaments. contests. the popularity contest came after when everyone wanted to have a dick measuring contest.

You play a video game for your own reasons, and if people are leaving the game because others arent conforming to their unwritten code of conduct their selfish. and tbh, while the game needs as much activity as possible, it really doesnt need any of us if sw has plans to make the game mainstream somehow. think about it, were like the lingering virus. no matter what, any new players are going to be infected one way or another. without this community pushing ulterior motives onto the unsuspecting the game can go back to the natural flow and the current players wont have a guideline on whats right or wrong.

thats why ive always been pushing to keep this forum away from new players completely. let them go through the phases that everyone else went through before we corrupt them into thinking how we do, or they quit.

Sorry but herbert puts you in the negatives. bitch boy.

I took bookoo raids on that tank, faggot. I even made a post like 20 hours prior to batty begging for .. I also specifically remember taking like 4 raids in my final 2 hours, deaths included thru out. Don't be salty.

This is in every game ever played that has multiplayer. There's always unwritten rules to make the games "better/harder/more fun/whatever" by those who play it a lot. All of the following have been at one point frowned upon:

Safe-ing in RS while PKing (healing too early and not really having a chance to die. Essentially wasting time/food/money for taking a few swings at each other.)
Noobtubing/Painkiller deathstreak/Final Stand deathstreak/others in Duty
Spawnkilling in any multiplayer, specifically duty since it is so easy to do.
People purposely throwing games/suiciding/team-killing/etc in halo/others
Feeding other champions in LoL
Glitching to gain some type of advantage I.E. super bouncing/Crazy Maze lag-move trick/etc
Quiting low/running from raids/tagging without taking/etc

In all of the above I've personally left games because people were doing them because it was ruining the game. Obviously with the small player base we have it makes these actions exponentially worse but it doesn't mean the unwritten rules should be ignored. I partially agree with the "letting people find the forums themself." I think it's imperative for all players to have contact with someone for advice on how to play anything better. The problem is too many time this community is too big of an asshole to mentor kids into playing better and is too often "fuck you noob stop running from raids." HUGE difference. Newbs are fine, I have no problem with people learning. Noobs who ruin games though can go fuck themselves.


Anyway, on topic post. Why don't I play? Work, baby, GF, golf, keeping my house in order, shows, twitch, other games (recently LoL and LCS streams). Lots of stuff to do, so little time. Why can't days be like 30 hours long? I would love another 6 hours a day...

[PRIDE]

you play lol too whats your add?

[DemonicTank]

Newbs and Noobs


Is like a Nigga and a Black person. their is a difference.

or white trash and a white Guy. (had to use that too so I don't piss anyone off but for people who get it will understand what I mean for my analogy.)

[eldawg51]

Cracker or honky is probably better terminology.

On topic: I play. Why people don't play(outside of real life) is simply because they care too much what others are doing on or off the field and let it affect their own game and mindset. Imagine if everyone minded their own business and just put their heads down and beasted some hours? They'd be busier pew pewing than spew spewing every negative comment on here.

I read some post before I write this message and I think there are some people who think like me:

This game have got a lot o potential; 15 years ago have got a lot of popularity coz the standard games was that, with pixel and with 2Dimension and if u wanna enjoy the 3d u must buy the playstation 2 but u must pay something to do this, battlefield.com was/is totally free.

In that situation of game, I notice that: the game developers and his staff and a lot of players, don't wanna change anything. There aren't no innovation, no new award, no new weapons or special equipments.

Try now to think with me: we are in a age where the dimensional are coming in the space, like minority report (Film, Tom Cruise), so the people want innovation, the guys, wanna play into a game where can change his tactics like: Tank, healer, dps or wanna be a party to take a big raid against a big boss or against a sigle target (if we wanna speak about TP).

A lot of time I abandon this game coz is ripetitive and there are nothing of difference between 15 years ago and now.

I really don't like that the most part of tournaments are playing in a "American meridian", for this specify reason the Asian and European guys cannot play this and I wanna give a Question: "is very difficult try to add some tourney where the american guys have got some problems to join the tourney?"(UTC +0,+1,+2,+3,+4,+5..); I try to explain this question not to give problems to american guys, but to try to explain to u that in this situation u don't wanna give a easy situation to the other part of world.

I love this game, and I wanna repeat this every time and everywhere but u must change a lot or the game will be end slowly.

sir goofy it is what it is. like you said its a free game in today's money hungry world. the game costing money and basically being a BF2, would turn me away. and it takes money to implement your kind of ideas and maintain it all. Man hours.

this game i love. I love that its "repetitive" as you say. but every battle is unique! sometimes in your mind, you can team up with one color, to fight against others. or instead of tagging a mob with your color, shoot the other colors trying to get the kill from your color. there must be something that sets every game apart and i think the simplicity is really what does it for tankpit. im not saying it is a perfect game. i really beleive weekly leaderboards MUST be implemented.

Don't misunderstand, I don't wanna try to convince the developers to sped money to create a 3Dimensional game, like WOW DOA or other similar I only wanna say something: we can really try to change this game in his little part, we can try to avoid the "ripetitive" of the game with a lot of mode like-->make the award become animated, or make new award only to try to stimolate the people to enjoy better the game. This little example don't spend money, I know this as I know the people who make this figurine like this : . Is a normal code like the others the only problems is: "How I make this?" but in every question there is an answer no? :)

Some guys in this thread say: "There are a low group of active player" yeah of course, there aren't advertisement like a Blog, a profile on Facebook and on every others portals present in this terrible world and we KNOW this but no one make one of that.

Sincerely everytime I found a new Idea I don't post it on the right forum position because I know that the game developers close my post or don't wanna change anything.

Is too difficult for me try to explain war I think in my brain coz I don't know a lot of part of your language: se potessi utilizzare la mia lingua, potrei scrivere molto più velocemente e molto più concretamente; I don't wanna write in Italian language only coz I wanna sincerely respect u but, in this situation I cannot take a special award like war correspondent coz my thinking is limitate from my knowledge of the language...

We must make better this game but not only in proportional go the "Game-play" but for the total community, if we have a strong community we can have a big and better game...
