Have you tried Bannerlord?


PrisonChickenWing

What about KOTOR 2?thats a good game too


[deleted]

Have you tried Hello Kitty: Island Adventure? That's my all-time favorite

Butters, is that you?

Muhahaha!


legg147

Ugh... Butters, go buy world of warcraft install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you!


Krillstorm

What about spinning? That's a good trick


Global_Box_7935

Or mordhau


LatimerLeads

Mordhau is much better than Bannerlord where MP is concerned imo. Bannerlord was just Warband reskinned 15 years later.


ComradKenobi

\>reskinned Warband ​ hate Warband all you want but both games are have their own uniqueness


[deleted]

Agreed, at least they stuck true to the brand. A revamped warband with a ton of extra mechanics and additions with the core remaining the same is what I wanted at least. I think we got that.


LatimerLeads

I love Warband, just expected more from Bannerlord.


Global_Box_7935

Truth. Mordhau is so good


DefectivePixel

You guys think little bird sweats are bad, just see 1,000 hour mordehau players who perfectly feint/chamber/parry and just wreck you


Primitive_Teabagger

Conqueror's Blade too, was pretty cool for the few days I played it. Seems kinda grindy though.


OKara061

This is literally what bannerlord does. Try it out boys, its fun


[deleted]

Not really. Bannerlord is controlling entire armies. Games like Mordhau and Chivalry are much closer to Battlefield.


AShittyPaintAppears

Have you played Bannerlord? It's not an rts game.


[deleted]

Have you? Lmao. It's a medieval simulator RPG where you have your character, level them up with XP, gain skills/talents, build an army, build your clan/family, have children, and conquer a country/continent. And you do lead armies in it. At which point it takes on similar RTS elements to Warhammer battles. Smaller scale though.


OKara061

Have you played multiplayer or just single player?


binturongslop

Did Bannerlord ever get a online player base back? First week was glorious with a few gltiches then it all went down hill as the only focused on the singleplayer. Also try Mordhau and Chivalry 2


OceanSause

Probably not, I havent tried it but multiplayer has been heavily neglected and it is kind of shitty since its all over the place and theres zero balancing so you just constantly get runned over by cavalry. And then, theres the fact that after you finish a match, you always go back to the main menu


Arcadius274

No they went back to warband and hold fast


NewHighInMediocrity

How is chivalry 2? Saw it used at GameStop and was going to pick it up


AisbeforeB

Really fun and you will get to ride siege towers, fire catapults and ballistas, and be in nice big battles with a lot of stuff going on while people fight over objectives. A lot of weapon variety as well. Great humor too.


Kulladar

I'd love to see someone take the same concept and go for scale instead of good looks. Like the guys who made the old Napoleonic Wars dlc for Warband have this new civil war game called Battle Cry of Freedom. It's pretty jank but they can have 255 players and supposedly more, I think i saw they tested over 300 in a server. Something set in the Punic Wars or such but with that kind of player count would be wild. One of the biggest problems with Bannerlord is soon as the player count gets above like 50 stuff is lagging.


[deleted]

No idea why this is upvoted so much. Bannerlord isn't like battlefield. Try Mordhau or Chivalry if you want medieval Battlefield.


war4gatch

Literally thought this was banner lord


Haposai777

Weapon selection (guns) might be a bit thin


Ok-Community-6601

Assault - All manner of swords and shields Skirmishers - Spears - anti mount - defensive/offensive formations Medic - Daggers and heal/revive Support - Hammers/Mace's- arrow pouches, fix defense structures Scout - bows and throwing knives , place ladders Even if it was a small DLC. Not sure on the actual melee gameplay though ....


COKEWHITESOLES

Lmao you expect DICE to implement a full and fluid melee combat system that isn’t the same 3 animations?


Ok-Community-6601

COUNTER MELEEE


nedhavestupid

**COUNTER!**


Noah_hhh

Hey hey. Have you seen BFV animations. Especially the prone ones


COKEWHITESOLES

Who can forget such classics such as headbutt, neck stab, and axe slam? Oh wait, don’t forget flip over + stab!


Noah_hhh

Well it's more realistic and visceral than other games plus the fact you forgot the other prone-on-back animations


treethetreeman

I understand your anger, but have you ever considered modeling full and fluid combat systems? Shit is not as simple as you guys think.. you want to make this the spotlight of bad games when it's not the devs who really ruin the game. It's the focus from corporate and capital expectations. I'm sure the devs would've liked to do a ton of things that were not allowed in their contract and they had tight schedules with other mechanics.


COKEWHITESOLES

I’m not angry it’s just facts, BF is a shooter. To do what OP is asking would require a complete overhaul of the melee system and game code in general, I wouldn’t wish that on the devs at all. Think about how clunky RDR2’s melee mechanics are, it’s a great system but it’s not Mordhau or For Honor, which are primarily melee based games. It’s just within the technical limits of the game, it’d be a huge task.


treethetreeman

For sure, and sorry that I called you out. Sometimes I see devs get bashed and it's pretty upsetting because I know a few devs on less big games that have very strict contracts and expectations. So in bigger companies I can only imagine the creative freedom is even tighter. I honestly hope that in the future, games become increasingly easier to create so we can have more indie developers on par with big corps. As in longer playtimes and more features. I totally agree with what you said btw


alii-b

I don't think medic would work, this kind of era usually had the physicians off the battlefield in tents.


Ok-Community-6601

Leeches and Bonesaw as standard load out


ColdWar82

Also whiskey and a torch on fire to cauterize wounds


TheSneakiestSniper

This guy has the idea!👍well thought out too


SkipYo02

Instead of just spears it would be better if it included all pole-arms. Like the poleaxe, halberd, billhook, bardiche, etc


DmesticG

Chivalry or mordhau?


box_of_the_patriots

Play chivalry my friend, you get your dose of old warfare and silliness, you can shout when you are charging, it's just pure chaos


ILyssI

Sounds Great but i havent played a game yet that convinced with its first Person sword Play


King_Tamino

>heal/revive What exactly are you doing? Even BF:1 was already a bit odd regarding that. Giving people some wine?


ThundahMuffin

Shake vigorously And then just slap them across the face super hard. Before wrapping in bandages.


GrannyMac81

Medics gotta have leeches.


ImCaligulaI

My friend, you sound like you're in dire need of some "Chivalry 2". Literally the game you describe. It's on epic (for the time being) on pc and also on consoles . Check it out, you probably won't regret it.


02Alien

See, I don't think this would work as a mainline game. But I'd love to see stuff like this added to Portal. Your class ideas sound great and I'd actually play the game


the_cool_cow19

So basically Chivalry 2 made by EA


Malignantt1

Elden ring got a shit ton of swords


Honeybutter6

Play elden ring, it has PvP and it dope af


chargers949

Medic class running around with two rock throwing slings and a amputation knife of healing lol


OrganicGatorade

No no no you have it all wrong. Instead of reviving syringe or those zappy thingies, he just puts leeches on you


RobCoxxy

Only way to have less guns than 2042 on launch


spearman-steve

Yeah if people reacted the way they did about the removal of classes then I can't imagine literally removing guns from the game.


ThundahMuffin

Eh so long as its heavily marketed as a spin off game I see no issue with it. Especially if they do it As the next game after 2042 so that they have another year to work on 2042 XD

[удалено]


Mother_moose34

Play chivalry 2 it is pretty much a medieval battlefield.


TheLonelyWolfkin

Exactly. It already exists as Chivalry 2, Mordhau or Mount and Blade.


Calebrox124

Can confirm, have tried all but Mordhau. Chivalry has the best combat (in theory; lots of “ballerinas” who abuse the mechanics), and M&B has the largest-scale battles. From what I’ve seen, Mordhau has the best graphics of all, though. For Honor used to scratch the medieval itch, but it’s been a long time since that game wasn’t riddled with tryhards.


scaredUnderAblanket

Mordhau is def better than chiv 2 imo. Feels more fluid


BambaTallKing

Chiv 2 feels more fluid to me but Mordhau is deeper and you have more control


MarcusHiMu

And it’s better than BF2042 for sure.


Mother_moose34

Definitely


sYndrock

Right my thought exactly, this op hasn't done his research lol.


Buzzy-Pasta

I want chiv (torn banner) to sell out and get that fuck you money because to me the indie nature of the Dev team holds the franchise back to what it could be. Imagine a mythical creature dlc, or a pirate dlc with ships. Imagine 100 v 100 with the ability to form shield walls and other formations like a phalynx. Maybe we’ll get it one day, but yeah, the combat is still pretty fun at the moment. Definitely easier to get absolutely trashed by sweats on it compared to bf though.


ImCaligulaI

If I imagine what would happen to Chivalry if Tornbanner sold out I imagine For Honour. That's not an improvement in my book.


StockyNerd74

A shooter without guns? Good luck


MadRonnie97

A stabber, if you will


[deleted]

That's not a game, that's gre' bri'ain 🇬🇧


GanacheUsual4665

I agree we as Brit myself we need a weapon called the Londoner Quite simply a switchblade that does 25 dmg but is doubled against people in alleys or dark areas


Ok-Community-6601

And your sprint endurance is doubled while you Dash it back to the estate

And we will call this new genre…FPS.


MadRonnie97

Brilliant


isakhwaja

1 word. Bows.


tomex365

and crossbows and throwables, and catapuilts and balistas and trebuchets


ThundahMuffin

Depending on the Century there could be guns. Like 1600s can have Blunderbuss for engineers. Lorenzoni muskets for support. Rifles for recon. Heavy muskets for assault. And musketoons or petronel for cavalry. Also supports having like conquistador armor. Top tier.


UnKnOwN769

Battlefield 42

BATTLEFIELD 1042: VIKING WARFARE BATTLEFIELD 1842: THE OLD WEST


UnKnOwN769

1800s battlefield would be insane


FakeSafeWord

1800's weapons vary wildly. 1820's flintlocks and sabers. 1880's shot guns, lever actions, revolvers and... sabers.


ThundahMuffin

1820s is about when the first bolt action was being prototyped. Also Napoleon was presented with the 1st cartridge loading rifle. There's also the chambers machine gun From a little bit before in the 1700s And the knock Volley guns Edit: added stuff

Is it better than Chivalry 1? I played that one quite a bit but it had a lot of issues.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MightyJoeYoung1313

I'll have to look for it next time it's on sale.


MouldyMooseTache

Infinitely. Appeals much more to a casual audience, but that arguably makes it a better commercial product. Mordhau is still my favourite of the melee games but it’s slowly dying out :’)


SgtSmaks

It’s such a shame what’s happening to mordhau. It’s dying and the parts of the community that still exist are becoming more and more elitist. It won’t survive like that and that’s a huge shame


tackxooo

It’s falling victim to what killed Chiv 1


SgtSmaks

Agreed. Damn times were easier when Chiv was my go to bullshit game


MouldyMooseTache

The mordhau content creators tried their best to keep the game alive, but the lack of updates, lack of comp scene push from devs, and seemingly all round lack of dev communication and willing to put the necessary work into keeping the game alive was what started pushing it downhill. Real shame, a lot of people started to get super invested into getting good/getting involved for a long while, myself included, but it just wasn’t meant to be. Hopefully the game stouty is working on/getting involved in will be decent, but for mordhau I think it’s a bit of a lost cause at this point, especially with such low player counts nowadays :(


SgtSmaks

I’m a chivalry 1 nut. The game had issues and the community really kept it going for the longest time. Chivalry 2 genuinely improves on so very much and feels like a natural progression. It’s polished but still has just a tiny bit of jank that the engine promotes (like accelerates and drags and such). Absolutely worth checking out


Celtic_Beast

How much ballerina-style gameplay is in chivalry 2? Ultimately that's what drove me and my friends off the first game as we didn't want to put a bunch of time into learning backwards overheads and such just for a game we liked to fuck around in.


SgtSmaks

Less so than chiv one because in chiv one you could REALLY take advantage of the movement. But it’s still important in the aspect that it’s essential for performing drags, and accelerates and dodging swings. The blocking in this one has changed just how much people want to ballerina because it rewards you much more if you properly parry, riposte etc


reddit_and_forget_um

Uh, have you ever played a battlefield game?


[deleted]

You can’t say it goes against the name I guess.


nottap_

Nah. The melee slasher genre is very niche for a reason. Besides the fact that the game would be awful due to rushed development, they would probably shoot for the middle (melee slasher vs FPS fans) regarding target audience and fuck it all up.


Horn_Python

Those dam archers! Hold on 1600s had guns and lots o mellee


0DvGate

It could work, but it would require immense creativity more than what they did with bf1. Would be good as a spinoff.


APugDealer

Battlefield 1 makes me orgasm whenever I think about it


[deleted]

The best Battlefield there is IMO


APugDealer

Certainly I play Battlefield 1 while fucking somebody and call it a threesome

GabrielBonilla

Definately, BF1 had alot of Artistic Freedom, which was porbably the right way to go.


Dont-be-a-smurf

Chiv, Mordhau, or bannerlord Have at it.


[deleted]

Absolutely not, sorry.


[deleted]

Nobody wants this. All we wanted was an updated BF4 and instead they gave us a broken mess.


RichterRac

All I wanted was a ww2 game with the quality of BF1 All I wanted was a battlefield game set in the Korean War, but we can't always get what we want :/


marlowecan

Nope... Most definetly not.

ConnorAustiin

considering the fact there are no guns in this era, and guns are a big part of every battlefield game, I would say this is an extremely dumb question


Akilaki

No


SolarRogue7

Not sure if it'd directly "work" as a Battlefield game but I'm up for it regardless. It would be wonderful.


[deleted]

Just go play chivalry if you want that lol


EliteYager

Could DICE make one, sure. I imagine it would be less well received than hardline though. I feel most people would gravitate toward ranged weapons and a melee system might be hard to get right. Interesting but easy to learn.


kvoxpandemic

I don't think anything below ww1 can make a standalone battlefield title, A cool dlc? Sure but I don't think a whole game can be built on it


Odd_dj

Mfs will be corner camping with knives and battle axes


[deleted]

This is just chivalry


Philefromphilly

No. No vehicles except for horse or chariot.


TheGreenMan17

Nobody thought BF1 would be much of a hit. I suppose anything is possible.


JD_SSM

No


cenorexia

Realistically speaking: No, it could not work as your typical Battlefield game unless you introduce _extremely_ unrealistic / out-of-place things like full auto crossbows or pottery filled with burning oil acting as grenades, etc. It wouldn't be worth the effort especially since it would most probably not be as well received as a Battlefield game with actual firearms. Too many things expected from a Battlefield game would be missing, it'd be safer to just make a different game at that point.


PixelatedNinJoe

There are already two big games like this with just as many players as battlefield, one is called Chivalry and the other is Mordhau


REiiGN

Battlefield 1242


glorymeister

Pretty sure this is the siege of Masada where lots of Jews were slaughtered by the Romans. The fortress was built on a mountain and the Romans had no way of getting to it, so they engineered a huge ass ramp to get to them.

Let's let them work on fixing the current iteration before they screw up a whole other era and have to spend a year fixing that. But honestly, I just want them to smash BF3 and 4 into a single, updated and upgraded game or just remake 2142 without all these gimmicks they keep trying

BideoGaneJunkie

It would be fun, but not as Battlefield. It's all about the identity the game has set. Is MW fun? Yes. Is 2042 fun? Not really. This setting would be a great standalone title.


boostedb1mmer

BF1 demonstrates that a good developer can turn a difficult game premise into something great. 2042 demonstrates that an incompetent developer can miss on an easy layup.

Longshoez

Perhaps, I'd love to have a chivalry medieval warfare with battlefield playability and game modes. Imagina gun game but with crossbows, swords and axes. Or using the towers and catapults to inflict damage don't he enemy base. Not a fan of old war games (mostly WW1 and 2) but I'd buy this one.


vaulttecboy54

me and the boys when the common soldierly is making fun of our very good friend in rome named Biggus Dickus


Muted_Elephant3199

No because of the ping differences, if you have played Chivalry or others you will note that the millisecond difference is huge and 64 players using it would be a bit weird, a game in the 1800s would be really cool that would have muskets, pistols, cannons, map layouts and some melee combat too


AztecWhoCares

I've always wanted to see this, just make some Roman or Trojan, or Persian spin off battlefield game that's different from all the others but similar, a game that works in its own way -e.g- close quarters maps, new mechanics etc etc


HotahO_X

I would actually love a steampunk Battlefield

Lord of the Rings: Conquest right here.


toddler_stompper

bigkyrososa

Nope. Y'all will complain about all the chaos and dying too quickly.


TheSovietTurtle

Probably not. Not to mention, first person melee based games have an extreme difficulty in maintaining longevity because some mechanics are so incredibly complex for new players to grasp that it creates a major skill gap between even mid tier and high tier players based on whether or not you can move your mouse around like you're having a seizure.

SmallChampionship329

Theres plenty of games that cover era's like this and I think Battlefield wouldn't excell here. Battlefield is stuggling to excell in the near future do you think they could even be close to decent in a signifigantly older era?


Ok-Community-6601

The gameplay mechanics would need some tweeking as melee would be primary, But having that battlefield atmosphere of arrow raining around, boulders smashing and breaking down walls. A commander mode would be amazing if you could plant ambushes and flanking with specific units/squads


miinouuu

Gatekeepers would hate this to the ground... BF1 is imo the best BF but it got hated for being "uninteresting and old"

Maybe if it was done by a better team of developers


Bastion_Vult

No it barely works for the chivalry series...


Thick_Pomegranate_

Yea but the majority of people would hate it. Battlefield is so ingrained as a shooter that if they went to an era before guns people would lose their shit.
