No alternative squad-based reward system has replaced this it’s just gone. Requisition points, and the ability to spend them to call in reinforcements, has been jettisoned in Battlefield 2042. Also, it just enabled you to deliver some of those brilliant “ Battlefield moments” that you would always see yourself, or hear other people talking about when recalling tales of their in-game war stories. It was way to motivate players to do the things that they needed to do in order to help win the game for their team. This included supply drops to give their team ammunition and health, vehicle drops that allowed the squad to jump into a tank, or the ability to call in a devastating V-1 or JB-2 rocket that would decimate an area of your choice. Players would earn requisition points that they could use to spend on reinforcements. One of the great additions was the emphasis on squad-based gameplay incentives that rewarded those who played the objective. We just experienced the first World War with Battlefield 1, and by moving to World War II it just didn’t seem like things would evolve too much. When Battlefield V launched, I was very sceptical. Because this, dear reader, is where I now must spend the next few thousand words talking about DICE’s latest addition to the franchise, Battlefield 2042, and regrettably why it is one of the most disappointing iterations it has released so far. Also, this was specially to try and keep the “filthy casual” remarks out of the comments section. I’m not writing this to gloat about my stats in Battlefield instead, I’m trying to convey how much time I’ve spent playing the franchise over the last decade, and how were successfully able to accomplish the goals set out by the game using the tools we’ve been given. In Battlefield V, our Medic is in the top 1% globally in heals, playing as a solider on the ground in the Assault class my kill/death ratio is in the top 6%, and as a squad overall we have a win percentage in the top 10%. We’re consistently recognized in-game as the Ace Squad, an end of the game pat on the back that highlights the top squad throughout the match. We’ve spent hundreds of hours over the years in these war-torn environments, coordinating as a squad - and being remarkably good at it.
#BATTLEFIELD 3 PLAYER COUNT SERIES#
The Battlefield series has been one of my main go-to multiplayer games that I fire up when I’m looking to cause some destruction with my friends.
