Oh dear, what's going on in Manchester? GRIMsby times apparently 🙈

I know its easy to hammer this, but in a weird way it reminds me of when you feel you don't want to watch a really thought provoking movie, so you just find the best simplistic action movie from the 80s/90s because you know what to expect. It feels comfortable and for those reasons, I actually look at and think I'd defo play this 🤣🤣 Just like Mafia games, a simple level design with basic combat. Lets hope its an easy Platinum @slamminbones👀 That being said, I wouldn't pay AAA prices at all. Pretty sure 1-2 months afterwards, the game will be on sale around £40.

I totally agree, there's a lot of strong teams this season with a lot of cash being splashed on players, with probably more to come before the window closes next Monday. Arsenal and Liverpool probably fighting it out for top spot, with Chelsea, Man City, Newcastle, Spurs and Maybe Forest in the mix again for the rest of the top 6. I would have said Villa and Man Utd too but they both look a little off the pace so far. Thomas the Frank Engine has done a good job so far for Spurs, he's even getting the best out of Richarlison....and I think we'll do a little better than last years 17th place 🤪

That worked out well for that other company didn't it....

Actually not new here but I’ve never really introduced myself, my names Josh nice to meet you all! i play mainly with the lads on FC on a Monday night 😁

3 points to the Spurs against a Burnley side that conceded only 16 league goals last season 🍻 Apparently we were supposed to lose this game lol 🤪

It's definitely a good game for Call of Duty players and ones that didn't play Battlefield in its golden era. Another small, linear urban map released today which means we've literally played half the original maps available in the final game and we are yet to actually see a true battlefield. I will probably pick this up for the campaign and because I can still get 20-30 hours out of the multiplayer but I honestly can see myself getting bored as Conquest plays more like domination and matches just blur into one. I went back to Battlefield 4 last year and it was just breathtaking how spectacular everything is even to this day. The map variety, quality and mechanics made for one hell of an experience that has never been repeated, not even in Battlefield since. I'm hopeful this game can get close to those glory days and it has come a long way after the travesty of 2042 but if they end up losing 80% of their players to Call of Duty a month later then a lot of their design choices will have been in vain at the expense of loyal fans.

I've pretty much watched all the content creators thoughts post-beta and without the sponsorships and it seems a lot of them share similar feelings. To sum it up briefly:- - the game looks great and is mechanically decent - gunplay feels good - the game is very fast paced - gameplay has devolved more into Call of Duty and they will sacrifice logic and series values to appeal to those players as a priority - vehicles don't feel great and they don't work effectively on the smaller style maps - maps are too compact, linear, mostly urban, lack elevation and play too similarly - the squad system may as well not exist from a tactical or strategic standpoint - sniper glint may need to be toned down - classes are plied with too many weapons and gear that completely devalue choice and impact - destruction looks impressive but it doesn't radically change anything and is inconsistent (the upcoming new beta map has huge issues with the latter apparently) The class system needs a total overhaul IMO - the fact Assault can carry a primary, a shotgun, a rocket launcher, flashbangs, a deployable shield grenades and a stim is just ridiculous and almost Treyarch levels of generosity. This devalues the class choice completely and makes you stupidly overpowered. Also sod the shield and stim - that bollocks belongs in COD. Knee sliding and and tac sprint was rejected so not sure why the stim made it. The shield is acceptable I guess. I don't think any Battlefield or FPS fan wanted something fresh - they just wanted Battlefield back i.e 2,3 and 4 especially after the disappointments of BFV and 2042. BF6 achieves that to a degree, but then let's itself down with some questionable design and strange conceptual choices. This is also what happens every time with Battlefield - Call of Duty fucks up spectacularly and then Battlefield fails to capitalise with some surprise errors and misses an open goal. Everyone then leaves Battlefield after a month and returns to COD irrespective of how garbage it is that year. Whilst it's great to see how far the game and series has come under the new leadership in such a short space of time, it would be very disappointing to see the game make easily avoidable mistakes and brainless design choices like 2042 did. The community have spent well over a year helping build BF6 and this is off of 3 years of relentless feedback on 2042 so when the developers go against the grain and dominant advice, it can alienate the community a lot worse than if it was just bad independent choices.

I have no words I thought this was an AI fake picture but apparently it is 100% real.

Battlefield trailers are always 'carnage' but the series at its core is a grand FPS with tactical elements. There is no semblance of this in the game - it's just overly-chaotic action on very small maps where flags change hands easily and territory doesn't matter because you can be easily swarmed left, right and centre. They've appealed to the Call of Duty players at the expense of Battlefield's core values and have concocted this middle-ground type of game and I'm just not sure about it. The bigger maps will probably play better like Operation Firestorm but the ones we have in the beta are just too small, chokepoint-laden and offer absolutely no tactical flexibility or POI.

Anyone got this yet? Was released at very short notice after 7 years of development the other day and costs less £16/$20. It had 3m wishlists on Steam alone and actually crashed every store front when it launched. Just shy of 600,000 players on Steam in the first few hours. There's even other indie developers moaning about how popular and cheap it is plus how they didn't give enough notice to other studios about the launch. Literally the same situation as when Baldurs Gate 3 angered other bitter devs about the success of their game. I'm actually playing the original right now and it seems a really unique game. Surprised I didn't pick it up sooner. It's basically a Metroidvania Dark Souls. If I keep at it then I'll definitely grab Silksong even at full price.

Ah Black Ops II - they don't make them like this anymore.

Fantastic. 100% hard agree. Can't wait to watch this ❤️

Looks pretty good! A lot of Hitman DNA unsurprisingly but the levels look like they have some massive scale. Performance looks a bit rough but at least it’s a legitimate gameplay presentation

About time. He did do a fine job in terms of turning a struggling club into a regular European-qualifying side and the stadium, along with profitability has been very incredible, but his tenure has been riddled with too much caution, missed opportunities and failure to capitalise. It's a different era of football now and Spurs need to take that next step with the foundations being laid.

He got so angry he even made a song 🤣

Some more Metal Gear Solid Delta

Haven't you played their Hitman games before Phil? You can literally be a master stealth assassin by distracting elite military guards by throwing coins🤣

Nah, I call it First Shite. How the hell does he get into that venue with no-one seeing him? Is everyone selectively blind and stupid because he's Bond? Ludicrous 🤣

This game looks very interesting - S.T.A.L.K.E.R meets Deus Ex, Metal Gear Solid, Mech Warrior and a bit of Tarkov in a PS1 visual-fest which further combines first person and 3rd. No release as of yet.

Metal Gear Solid Delta

Yeah i think with the money they've spent, if they finish the season trophyless I'd see Arteta's position becoming untenable. Personally I hope they keep him ; )

The Guehi deal looking like it may be off, which is interesting. The only place LFC look even slightly vulnerable is at the back. I'm surprised no-one else went in for him as I was hearing they were getting him for 35m.

There's no doubt its a decent game, I enjoyed the first three GoWs, but just kind of shocked at how dated it looks...

Project IGI (2000) Command and Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour

It's going to be a very interesting season and I think Arsenal's depth could be key for them but it'll be interesting to see where Liverpool are at with some big departures and incomings. Chelsea aren't quite there yet but they should be better placed to compete for top 4 and Man City will be up there but I can't see them winning it or even getting near the top 3. At the other end, I think West Ham are going to have a very challenging season but for the first time in a very long time, I think the promoted sides may be better placed to survive unlike previous years. Unbelievable pressure for Arteta to deliver this season though - over £1bn spent in his tenure and still only the FA Covid Cup to show for it and that was with Emery's squad. I don't even think the FA Cup and League Cup would be good enough to suffice - it has to be the League and/or the Champions League. Not many teams blow through that sort of rate and win less than Leicester. City were nailing the treble off the back of multiple titles and trophies in which Arteta played a huge part in that with Pep so the expectations will be insane but I think they are well-placed this year to do something.

Spurs are actually looking class so far @phil bottle, gonna be an interesting season I hope if they can keep it up, city will be in the mix, chelsea probably will be as well and I don’t see any way liverpool or arsenal aren’t involved in the top 3. could be one hell of a tight title challenge this year

The original is an all time classic, and old as hell. I'm going to watch Cohh's preview videos on it and hope to myself they have made a great sequel. It's had a lengthy and complicated development though, which often leads to disappointment, so we'll see... Due out end 21 October I believe.

It does look good albeit I have kept my expectations in check just because of everything that has gone on with it, between that and Battlefield maybe I am just getting old 😄

This game is getting beat down and it deserves it. This is the best reaction I've seen so far. Wtf are these Devs actually on about 😂

What an absolute load of shite. £70 too

According to a credible leak, two additional maps coming at launch will be bigger which is good news. We already know Operation Firestorm is a good size so all eyes on the remaining two. Hopefully these bigger environments aren't too cluttered so land vehicles can breathe and we have some channels to work into. I hope Eastwood isn't lifted from the battle royale mode though. Played a game on OF earlier and it was epic. This is proper Battlefield and I never really experienced that feeling in the beta

Rimworld has had a new update that makes me want to get back on it again. Such an awesome game 🙂

Stupid man, 2026 and this idiocy is still alive and well 🙄 Nothing wrong with a bit of banter but this is weak as fuck. Fair play to how it was handled, which is something positive at least.

That does seem to be the plan, maybe they think the big maps will scare off the COD players. I'm with you through, BF4 was the last one I properly enjoyed. What a game that was.

Man, I really miss BF3 and 4, so much fun. I need to download them again and see how the servers are

Aren't they releasing operation firestorm with the game ? Then maybe they will drip feed the older bigger maps into the game as additional content?

I think the game is worthwhile to buy as it will get some hours ploughed into it. I do agree though that's more because there aren't many games that really shine of late (you could extend that to over 12-18 months). Its a game that really needs multiple squads working together, not just your squad. We were busting a gut last night to win a conquest game on the new big map for this weekends beta and it was such a struggle to keep up with the opposition. King of the Hill worked relatively well last night, although feels like that's more for the CoD players coming across. I wonder how much of the game they are holding back for official launch. Maybe it'll have a rocky start due to the playerbase but you can see there is a good foundation for a game here and certainly one that will grow in time. Btw, whats the advantage of being anything other than Assault or Medic? Couldn't see what difference the other roles were performing so far in the Beta.

You finally made it Josh! YAY! Glad you've become a part of the furniture or so to speak. I'm sure Matt @Luseth is delighted to have his brother here to annoy the crap out of each other. Welcome, officially, to FG mate. Hope to see your thoughts on the BF6 beta if you get chance for a few more games this weekend. Nah, thats US Josh @igotmollywhopped now iJoshimiro on PSN 😄

He's not far off and seems pretty inline with what some have said and I agree, if I'd never played BF4 then this game so far would look pretty good but this game is imo what the result would be if cod and battlefield had a baby and that's unfortunate. Maps are what make and break an FPS game first and foremost and they had an opportunity and the blueprint but unfortunately something was lost along the way. I will still buy this as the winter is long and it will kill a few hours but it can't hold a candle to BF4.

I think I did pretty good for 2 games 🤷🏽‍♂️

Beta is live again, no big maps have been added. Shosho is back hunting snipers tho : )

If its not Battlefield anymore they should give it a different name innit 😉 But yeah, this is how you deal with snipers in Battlefield:

You think it was okay before this?! 🤣

New massive patch that just came out addressed the grieving too!

the Deep Desert is getting overhauled tomorrow for the griefing and expanding the PVE zone there and materials, no griefing on our server since we own it and there is no one else :). The griefing is cut down to a min and most are spending 350 hours before they even get to those parts!

If enough ppl buy the game, I'll probably pick it up too, and on console as my PC can't really handle it. Would be a fun FG team play game if we have enough interest.

Yeah @Macca89 I actually set it up before playing with controller suggestions from some streamers. Bad move 🤪 Went back to default and it was much, much better and I enjoyed it a lot more : ) I'd like to see the bigger maps in the next demo.
