My son plays this game, and I was initially interested in playing it myself... until I saw all the automatic weapons in a WWI game.

Come on, man. I get that portable machine guns are fun, but a WWI game should have waaaaay more single-shot bolt action rifles than fully automatic weapons for infantry. At least regulate the number of them per side.

There's not much difference between this "WWI game" and any other Battlefield iteration, as a result. It's just run around, spray bullets, and get sprayed. Die in 30 seconds. Respawn, repeat.

I just don't get how that is fun. This is exactly why most multiplayer games are bullshite. There's no real consequence to anything. Which leads to no strategy. Which leads to mindless chaos. I really think Battlefield missed an opportunity here to create something different, as opposed to something that just looks different.

If you have a problem with this, I can kiiinda understand. They have to walk a line between being historically accurate and having a fun game that people will buy and play for a long time.

But this is just not true at all. Knowing that you havent even played the game really just makes all of this a pretty ignorant statement.

Sounds like your kid is just bad. Probably should ground him.
