hehe thanks for sharing. Yeah... they screwed up... like under any circumstances they would delay a launch because of gamer feedback... they must really think people are as stupid as potatoes to believe that. They just f'ed it up somewhere in development probably. It already says more than enough that they aren't even closely offering every SP mode at launch...

Analyst predicts EA's 'Battlefield V' will be a 'serious disappointment,' says preorders lag 'Call of Duty' by more than 85% Cowen believes EA’s “Battlefield V” game may put the company's financial guidance at risk. The firm's analyst said preorders for “Battlefield V” are tracking more than 85 percent behind “Call of Duty: Black Ops 4,” which is substantially worse than previous instances. “Battlefield 3” and “Battlefield 4” titles lagged “Call of Duty” by about 20 percent to 40 percent and “Battlefield 1” actually tracked ahead of “Call of Duty” at this point before launch.

Actually, it's probably this: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/20/cowen-predicts-eas-battlefield-v-will-be-a-serious-disappointment-citing-weak-pre-orders.html There's a bunch of factors here, like the Battlefront lootbox fiasco, Black Ops being a popular sub-franchise with Call of Duty, Fortnite and PUBG becoming massive hits, Overwatch continuing to siphon off players from CoD and BF, etc.

Some of us are getting older and cannot stay competitive with the younger crowd on multiplayer, so when they completely ruin the single player experience like they did with that crappy BF1 it destroys our faith in the franchise and we don't preorder it any more. For single player they need to go back to fun campaigns like in BF Bad Company 2. I'm not saying don't concentrate on MP for those that like it, just get back to fun single player also if you are going to include single player.

While we all greatly welcome the higher quality gfx and greater immersion we've seen over the years, the indicators here are that NVIDIA have risked way too high a cash grab. 1. The very idea that all tech enthusiasts (especially those who personally have to work for the required funds) with >1080p monitors and system-matching CPU + gfx cards, are now forced to downscale to a non-native 1080p just to experience RT in its current form - and at <60 fps unless the developer intends to limit the RT potential, is a bitter pill we most certainly don't want to swallow. 2. While I'll keep repeating that we need to wait for the reviews (though a certain Tom will accuse us of being "price-panicked pundits"), the suggestion is that the non-RT performance increase is less than we'd expect from a like-like comparison, and... 3. The product cost is way off the mark and thus offensive - how dare it be demanded that we pay the shocking increase in what is being asked. Anyone who can afford a 2080/Ti will not be happy to be forced to game at 1080p just to experience the primary selling point, and at an fps range far away from the invested system funds.

BF V delayed until Nov 20? What???

..And here we are, for the last 5yrs we've all been told that 60fps+ @4K was the future, and we've waited patiently for GPU's to catch up with the vision yet just as it was within our grasp, Nvidia shifts the goal posts and now decides that 1080p @ 60fps with ray tracing is the future, not only that, we're going to have to pay $1000+ for the privilege of 1080p 60fps. So it starts all over again, We're now going to have to wait another 5yrs for 60fps+ @4K with ray tracing. ..just 🙄, I mean just 🙄

Totally agree. Makes me wonder if the lack of campaign will have an impact on BO4 sales. I played Modern Warfare 1 & 2 a few times just for the campaign. Ghosts wound up being the last one I bought from CoD - Bad Company 2 on the EA side. For me, Borderlands and Wolfenstien/Doom took over the campaign shooter spot for me.

Jespi:

NVIDIA has presented three types of RT. RT Shadows with Tomb Raider, RT Reflections with Battlefiend and RT Lighting with Metro Exodus. So with elementary school math(taken with grain of salt) One type of RT = 60FPS in FullHD, so all three types of RT = 20FPS in FullHD 😀 😀 That's ridiculous, so we will be able to experience full raytracing in games in maybe, maybe next three generations. If...big IF, raytracing won't die out like hairworks or GPU computed Phycis 😀 Again taken with grain of salt, but i think in a sarcastic way, i'm pretty much correct

...that issue we all have is one of consumer cost -

Nobody cares about innovation, but price. It is all about money. Always. You can't sell a product 50% faster for 100% the previous model price. You shouldn't do it. Period.
