Women should be in the kitchen playing Angry Birds on their little phones and leaving the alpha male stuff like playing Battlefield to us guys.
I'm sold
This is honestly starting to sound pretty awesome. I really really hated BF1 and I hope that this goes back to some older days and be good about it too.
Pretty good interview with the design director with some footage:
I'm a little bit nervous about those squad based "killstreak" style rewards to be honest, although at the same time it seems pretty cool.
Game looks good so far, but I'm always cautious with BF games because the launches are always awful. I'll probably get this one after skipping the last few BF games. Personally, I think that the current state of MP FPS games is abysmal right now, so hoping BF5 can change that.
That isn't my point though, they are clearly trying to cater towards more women gamers to increase their sales. I'm not debating that and it's smart business if it works. People yelling about historical accuracy and claiming no women fought in WW2, like you claimed earlier, are flat out wrong though. If you want to talk about percentages, how many soldiers drove tanks, flew fighters, etc? How many actual snipers were there in the war? Not many, but people demand to have them as a class so 25% of the player base can be one. These games have never been historically accurate, and giving 50% of the population the ability to play as a character they want won't impact the historical accuracy of the game any more than it already has been impacted by everything else.
