I just can't come up with a reason to buy BF5 pre order or at launch, for whatever reason BF1 just didn't grab my interest and BF5 seems way more like BF1 than BF4 in terms of gun play, map mechanics, game mechanics, etc. If you were gonna do WW2 right I'd want to see the Pacific front a lot more, I'd want to see nazi's being evil as fuck and maps like auschwitz and shit where i'd enjoy voice comms between libs and nazis, I'd want the rape of nanking map where japs murder babies in the background as you storm the palace, etc.
instead we get this safe ass, "this is just like any war" map mode that doesn't really look like WW2 in any shape or form. BF1 I didn't have that problem with since its so far removed from our history now and the atrocities were fairly mild compared to WW2. But don't give me this bullshit WW2 game and sugar coat it so it looks like nothing really fucked up happened in that war. If you wanna take advantage of placing your game in the middle of a historical real war then show us the good and the bad.
also it'll be 50% off almost for sure less than 45 days during black friday so why bother buying at launch, just wait a month and get it at a massive discount
I am sorta more excited for COD Black Cops IIII, while that will also sugar coat war so its just guns and alleys at least that will have a battle royale mode at launch. that could be hella shitty or hella fun, gonna have to get into the beta to see. BF5 really has nothing new to excite me, at least at launch.
