I really did like both Metro and Lockers from BF4.

 

These maps are notorious for grenade spam. BF4 wasn't called screen shake simulator for nothing at launch and now even the movement will be affected by it? It surely will be fun not being able to move if 10 grenades are flying towards you.

EA has confirmed to IGN that there will in fact be no lootboxes in Battlefield V. Cosmetic Micro-transactions are also confirmed.

 

 

 

Huh. This is interesting indeed. No premium and no lootbox? The future is either bright or really really dark.

If any of you genuinely believe EA will let this one slip by without lootboxes or a premium edition then you must have spent the last 3 years living under a rock.

 

This will launch without lootboxes but they will be added at some point in the future.

 

The only situation where that won't happen is if EA have implemented some other monetisation system that will generate more money for them.

If they're loot boxes for cosmetics then that's absolutely fine

Match cool-downs, camo that actually works as camo, VIP matchmaking, camo that works, and a lottery system where you only get good unlocks for paying longer.

As much of an advocate as I was for this, we need to be careful as one day we might get those cosmetics that are functionally P2W. Overwatch’s art style basically negates most of the cosmetics from having a noticeable impact in games, but R6S has the black camo that does work more often than not.
