Battlefield games are on Steam for a discount. Should I get 1,3, 4, or V? How many people are playing?

Tread carefully, I bought 3 to get into the franchise and it got old faster than milk in summer.
Look up which one works the best for a solo player, these games are made for teamwork.

>Battlefield 1
Fine, hope you like getting killed by explosions, definitely the on the downhill end of the series

>Battlefield 3
The best of the modern Battlefields, player count is pretty uneven last I checked

>Battlefield 4 probably the one I'd choose now. Good playercount, gameplay is Fine but it was the first game after the peak.

>Battlefield V
It's shit. Don't bother. Player count reflects this.

3 or 4

>V
Just don't
>1
If you like huge maps and everyone using snipers then I guess I recommend it. There's also the back to basics where all soldiers use the default weapon of their faction
>4
It's almost dead but you'll always have at least one Conquest server full
>3
It's dead but in busy hours you may find 2 or 3 full servers

Battlefield in general is just dead nowadays

Bad Company 2 is alright but there's a full server with good ping always up with diehards. Your experience may vary depending on where in the world you are.

Hardline.

Loser shit bucket here. Go with 3 if you want modern shooter or 1 if you want an older on.

4 and 5 are shit for differing reasons.
Don't let jews trick you into thinking 4 is good.

4 fixed everything wrong with 3 and the current version of the game is several miles better than 3 with none of the shitty blue filters, suppression, bloom, horrible netcode etc. It also has most of the best BF3 maps anyway if you get all the DLC.

5 is a bit different but feels the most crisp when it comes to gunplay. Everything else is a bit shit though but imo the gunplay is fun enough that I don't mind it.

3 and 4, the best of the best.

4 is better than three, but more of the maps are less fun. Servers exist but they are either hacked or the fucking snow map

3 was the best one and a couple of servers still exist with consistent playercounts. 4 has a few more players and is really solid but also misses out on some of the magic in 3 but gives some extra cool stuff in return Buy 3 and 4 and stick with whichever one you like more.

Why is 4 bad
Why is 4 good

You can buy origin access for like $5 for a month and try all these games and see which ones you like and then purchase them on steam. You still need origin for the steam versions anyway as it launches through origin. They haven't fully migrated the game to steam yet so when you use the steam version you're basically booting up the origin version in the background right now.

>haven't fully migrated the game to steam
Wait. Do they even plan to ditch Origin?

I wish hardline wasn't dead bros.
that game was peak comfy CQC

Maybe they should've made it as an expansion pack for BF4 then

I think so but not till the end of the year.

ofc not, god sometimes gamers are so retarded.

you shouldn't give ea money at all

Just get Titanfall 2 instead.

I already bought it and I loved it

Weapons in 4 are better but maps in 3 are better.
I can't talk about vehicles because I only play as infantry

>bad
x No suppression mechanic. That means jump shooting is a viable mechanic and that the faster rof weapon wins (On the other other hand the west wep in the game is Bulldog - scarh with faster rof, it's a DLC wep of course, the second best wep in game is Aek you can get it in vanilla). Also getting a head start on an enemy doesn't mean shit because he can just jump away and and melt you with an Aek
x Maps have close to no cover, you can't even crouch behind a trashcan because the maps are empty, no rubble to hide behind etc.
x Knife attacks are worthless in 4. It's a suicide attack because you can get easily countered if the player decided to turn around
Good
x best netcode (after 20 patches)

>BF3
Dead
>BF4
Dead
>BF1 & BF5
Active if you live in America, and therefore have access to both US and European servers. If not, don't bother. Its dead or full of hackers overseas. Would recommend BF1 for the gameplay, BF5 for the player base. Sad you couldn't get BF1 when it was at 5$ price.

Nostalgia faggs. If a BF game has less servers than red orchestra 2, is not worth recommending.

Only user that gets it.

Basado y rojopildoreado.

>3
Probably dead, also 4 does most thing that 3 does but better.
>4
Launched as a huge fuckup, but it’s probably the best modern Battlefield game now. Community is probably still alive enough to play it?
>1
Better than its reputation, may feel somewhat simplified after 4, but maps are good and bolt-action rifles are ton of fun.
>V
Garbage maps, DICE being undecisive with balance with vehicle balance and TTK adjustments getting some weird changes, it’s just hard to recommend.

I hope you like hackers because every BF server has 6 of them!

Only in 1 and 5 because those don't have servers run privately. The last servers from 3 and 4 have good moderation

BF3 has a special place in my heart as my first Battlefield game and just feels better to me, but isn't BF4 sort of improved in every way, including every QoL request the community had made for BF3 and EA cucked out of that game?

>bf4
dead
it's 1 that dead

They are pretty much all dead. When people say the games are alive they mean "you'll find up to 5 populated servers in your timezone".

Do not get memed into buying these pieces of shit unless you enjoy playing dead games in microcommunities.

>5 populated servers
So, are you playing on 6 servers at the same time, or how is this a problem?

There are like 100 gamemodes and all of them are empty you idiot.

All of them except Conquest were dead at launch already, so it barely matters.

battlefield 3 is full of cheaters and it's a dead game
battlefield 4 is semi-dead, and it's the worst in the sieres
battlefield 1 is still being played by a fuckton of people but it's casual and shallow as fuck, doesnt feel like ww1 at all
battlefield V has the best gameplay of the series but it lacks content and it failed to deliver expectations of a realistic WW2 game after the fiasco that was BF1

you want to have fun in a fair environment? BFV
you want to have fun in a brainless casual shitfest game? BF1
you want to have fun in a boomer way with outdated mechanics? BF4
you want to have fun with dadgamers with 10k hours and cheaters? BF3

t. i have played every single one of them and will also play whatever battlefield game they will shit on my plate in a year or two

>The last servers from 3 and 4 have good moderation
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

do not buy 1, its full of hackers because of china

1 is really underrated imo, it's peak kino

>V
didnt play after seeing and hearing everything that has ever happened with the game, plus after the immense disappointment that 1 ended up being I really couldn't care less about it seeing the direction they went is pretty similiar gameplay wise

>1
garbage, probably not overrated here but overrated in general, pure downgrade in every sense to previous entries

>3
top tier, great game

>4
an upgrade to 3, the most complete modern bf with the most content and polish, there are some downgrades compared to 3 but the additions/upgrades outshine those pretty easily

cant comment on playercounts, haven't played in years

You buy it only to start origin from steam.
You still have to use battlelog and download origin.
