In Battlefield 5, teamplay is supposed to play a more important role again. This is important to the developers at DICE. But teamplay is not only desired; it is also well rewarded. However, players are expected to play the objectives more as a squad and not act as lone wolves.
Teamplay defines Battlefield: Teamplay is actually part of every Battlefield installment. Actually. Most multiplayer modes in the Battlefield series are designed for players to act as a team and coordinate to fulfill specific tasks – the objectives. This set the Battlefield series apart from other shooter competitors for many fans.
Accusation: You do too little to promote team players
Battlefield is no longer a team game? According to numerous player complaints in recent years, playing in a team has increasingly fallen into the background. Hardly anyone works together anymore, true team players are hardly to be found. The developers are said to be doing too little to promote teamplay.
Teamplay should come back into focus: DICE apparently wants to change that. In Battlefield V, the developers want to encourage players to focus more on the objectives. Teamplay should always be attractively rewarded.
This is how DICE wants to strengthen teamplay in Battlefield 5
Objectives become important: In an interview, Daniel Berlin, the Design Director at DICE, explained: The primary goal is for players to increasingly play the objectives: PTFO – Play the fucking Objective is his motto. The various modes in Battlefield 5 should promote and reward this.
Because when acting as a squad – following orders, reviving others, or supplying ammunition – and playing the objectives, you earn so-called Squad Reinforcement Points.
Unlock powerful rewards as a squad: With these points, you gain access to powerful items such as the V1 rocket. And this weapon packs a punch. It doesn’t matter how poorly or hopeless your situation might be. When you deploy the V1, everyone nearby will be in for a surprise.
There are also particularly powerful vehicles that accommodate an entire squad and are specifically designed to be played in a squad. With Squad Reinforcement Points, you can call in this war technology. Only your squad has access to it and can spawn in it.
The same applies here as with the V-1. If something like that comes at you and you are not adequately prepared or equipped for it, then you should take to your heels and disappear as quickly as possible. Otherwise, such a vehicle will make short work of you.
Lone wolves will have a hard time: The game will become more tactical due to these exemplary elements. Lone wolves will therefore have a harder time. Corresponding rewards will probably be withheld from them. These powerful war tools are intended as rewards for team players – that is, for players who act as a squad and focus on the objectives. This is extremely important to DICE.
What do you think? Are you pleased that the developers seem to want to make Battlefield a bit more tactical again and that teamplay is coming back into focus?
