Title: BFV - Friday Night
Post by: Chaosphere on November 19, 2018, 09:03:03 AM
Hi all,

BFV unlocks for everyone tomorrow (thanks for that, EA). I'm aiming to jump on for a first go on either Thursday or Friday night (and maybe a bit of both). As PUBG is played on the Thursday, and traditionally BFV used to be a Friday night affair, why don't we aim to meet up for some games this Friday?

I'll hopefully be on and in an ad-hoc Discord room from around 20:00 - 20:30. Would be great if we can squad up for some games to see how this one plays. If you're keen to play and haven't yet got me on Origin, add me - dMw_Chaos.

Shoot you soon! :boxing:

Somehow I have also managed to avoid the hype and waited to purchase BFV, as you, Friday will be my first game. See you on the Battlefield.

I´m in the line up for buying this. Awaiting Black Friday but might join up if I get everything installed then also.

Played a few games last night and really enjoyed it. That's probably just as I'm in the right mood for this sort of game atm. It remains Battlefield, and that is either good or bad depending on your position!

Hope to catch you both tonight!

I checked, but the BF/ Black Friday sale isn't special for BFV, quite understandable. I bought Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY for â,¬12 instead. WW3 is discounted, and has had a big update but I doubt it'll be as good as BFV for that on and off gameplay for another year.

That's the peril with Black Friday. If the game got discounted anyone who had pre-ordered would quite rightly be furious. Imagine forking out the (IMHO EA extortionate price) of sixty quid and then seeing the game on sale for forty. So they really can't discount a game launched so close to the sale date. Shame as I'd have a punt if it was closer to forty quid.

Dragon Age is a masterpiece, I love that game.

At least when someone has spent that much money they can be confident that EA won't be releasing loads of paid for content, seasons passes etc. Apparently Dice have confirmed that all future non cosmetic content will be free. So sixty quid might not be such a high price.

Ditto, but this was the price I paid back when the beta was live.

Had I paid 60, as smilo said I'd be getting my pitchfork and driving to March for an early reunion! :D

See you guys tonight!

Played a couple of rounds on my own before you guys arrived and thought it was a bit meh! Once we got in a squad it was much more enjoyable. Really liking it now. Lets make this a regular thing.

Gee Gees! Cheers all. I do enjoy the smaller more close quarters style maps atm, but some of the larger ones (the lush green one with the bridge comes to mind) do a good job of funnelling you to smaller zones despite their overall size.

Yeah totally agree!

Loving the teamwork too, there’s a lot going on and it’s so chaotic but has a massive difference when everyone in the squad knows the objective and works towards it, Much more enjoyable in a squad than being a lone soldier

Haha only joking. Really enjoying this too, looking forward to the patch on Tuesday there are a few things that need ironing out and nerfing, I just hope it doesn’t break other stuff.
