If there's a franchise that can benefit 100% from going AAA is EDF, and it seems that EDF 5 is gonna be even more of the same.

>EDF going AAA

Fucking kill yourself faggot, also centipedes were in the second game so fuck off and educate yourself before you post.

>muh grapfics

do we really need grafiks to save the earth

>cockroaches that are just fast moving annoying bastards
So the green ants?

I'm not saying the current game or the series is bad, just that it would be even better by adding more gameplay features and higher budget.

I'd love atlas beetles, flies and slugs or snails. Fuck cockroaches and mosquitoes though

Because Insect Armageddon was so good thanks to all the extra gameplay that wasn't shoot bugs.
Fuck off retard.

>You're not allowed to add anything to the game because I said so!!!!!
So are you 14 or what?
The game needs more than just fighting the same ants or same flying enemies for 100 levels in a row. Air raider being able to pilot mechs and shit headed towards a good direction.

Better enemy variety would be great, but the other stuff isnt something i'd want. Part of EDFs appeal is being a little bit janky. Its the fun as hell B-Movie of video games.
Would not be opposed to adding in sprinting and active reload from Insect Armageddon though. Would make collecting all the shit as Ranger less unbearable and would make long fucking reloads of Shotguns more managable.

EDF 5 Ranger can sprint
EDF 5 Wing Diver can Air dash dodge

>tfw we'll never have a EDF game on Frostbite 3 with a AAA budget and Battlefield levels of detail, graphics and sound design
Stopped reading there. More weapon/vehicle variety, more enemy variety and better balance is all this series needs. None of that muh graffix cinematic experience bullshit.

IA tried adding more to the game and it failed and is regarded as the worst EDF game by everyone.

Sprinting for Ranger is in I believe. I'm gonna miss the big ass RELOAD in the middle of the screen though, it makes it feel less like a clunky japanese game and a little more like a AAA shooter.

Balance is fine, just make it so you don't get duplicates and that armor collected transfers to all classes or something.

Thank god. Ranger really needed a sprint.
Seeing Air Raider drive passed you, Wing diver flying ahead and the slow ass fucking Tank man dash boosting like Sanic makes you feel terrible.

Having a better engine is not only about the graphics. But having better graphics would be cool too.

You say that, but then I look at Air Raider's snipers and assault rifles as Fencer and cry a little

>Air Raider's
wew, meant Ranger

All EDF needs is more types of bugs and robots.
And to let me choose what type of roll Ranger has, I want my stiff as a board dodge roll again.

I was referring more to weapon balance. With each class you always have about 5 go to weapons at most simply because the others aren't useful on Inferno, which is a waste since there are a lot of other weapons that are very fun to use as well.

>cheap ass friends didn't want to buy it on release because of the price
>it's on sale now, but $30 is still too steep for them
>now 5 is coming out already
goddammit

Yeah I get you, but I feel if you have no duplicates anymore the amount of useful weapons on Inferno would triple. Also armour pickups scaling with difficulty couldn't hurt.

>Wing Diver
Has to watch their energy and like 90% of their weapons is complete shit or gimmicky shit
>Fencer
Half their loadout is stuck as movement, other half has to be specific and is only good at one thing while missions usually need 2-3 sorts of things to work with
>Ranger
No movement for survivability but easy as shit and gets all the good direct weapons. Also sexy sniper rifles and STAMPEDE

Ranger isn't meant to be mobile, they're the powerhouse

>64 player EDF never

>Air Raider is so irrelevant he's not even mentioned
Air Raider buff when

>Mount and Bugs: Warband

I'm getting burned out on EDF, pub rooms are full of shitters who agro everyone and it's starting to feel like a drag. Maybe I should switch characters.

Can't wait for 5, but I can't justify a PS4 purchase. Hopefully it goes Pee See

>Also armour pickups scaling with difficulty couldn't hurt.
Yeah that would really help ease the grind.

>Half their loadout is stuck as movement, other half has to be specific and is only good at one thing while missions usually need 2-3 sorts of things to work with
Javelin/Shield + CC Piercer is usually pretty good at dealing with most close range situations or crowd control though.

>Close range situations
Yeah this is always guaranteed but the problem is the other stuff

But the second loadout will mostly just shine against either lots of enemies or against stronger singular enemies
>Bees and Drones
>Hectors
>Deroys
>Earth Eaters
>DRAGONS
>The two weapon slots left don't really cover everything even remotely well
This is mostly the issue with Fencers, their loadouts is usually specialized because one slot will always be stuck for movement.

While Rangers basically can fight everything equally well and have many weapons that excel against certain things but isn't really useless when anything specific comes up.

Can't say the same for Fencer

>Bees and Drones
Fuck those guys, every class but the ranger seems to struggle like hell with them.

>>DRAGONS
Doesnt Reflector + CC Piercer already kill dragons?

>EDF 5 is going to be even more of the same

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, EDF is fine as is

>wanted to play the series for a while after Mark from Classic Game Room hyped it up for me for years
>finally introduced to EDF 2025 on PS3 when it went free this month on PS Plus
>the armor and weapon drops on online are individual and if you are playing as a low mobility class, something like the Wing Diver or even Fencer could steal your drops
>they only made it group drops now for EDF 4.1
>remember seeing people with a couple thousand HP on PS3
>they literally had to pick up their own drops and weapons and hope for the best when playing against faster classes with more mobility
>not to mention you can get tons of duplicates while trying to get weapons

This game needs a change of loot systems and fast. I'm not saying it needs to go full COD with supply drops and shit, but it needs to be adjusted so the grind is less tedious.

>inb4 git gud faggot grind is gud gtfo you casual

>first EDF game is 4.1
>quit at one of the first few missions where you delve into the insect hole in the metro station
Feels bad having shit taste. Should give it another go with a different character since i've only used wing diver?

If you just try to reflect they overwhelm you too quickly just with sheer numbers and damage output

Even reflector has moments of vulnerability

>it's a "group with 1500 combined health tries an 80+ inferno level" episode

>Armor and weapon drops are individual in 2025
False

>[red ant swarm intensifies]

Can you hear the sound of ants coming your way?

WE'VE ENCOUNTERED GIANT INSECTS! SEND BACKUP! WAAAAAAARGGH!!!

But they are, you only get what you pickup at the end of the round.

>tfw Jap games are too expensive and none of my friends are willing to buy EDF to play with me

post yfw giant insects can fly

wtf are you talking about? Giant insects cant fly!

just play with random people or do couch co op

>beat ravagers twice
>they had the upper hand both times
>they both had the air, sea, and ground advantage
>they still fucking lost to some earthling with a machine gun and a rocket launcher
When will Ravagers learn?

>Aliens thinking they could beat Storm team
Out of all of EDF that squad is fucking nuts

>All the top of the line guns
>Armor can be built upon infinitely
>Has control over satellites, can call in anything whenever, people will literally come in just to support them
>Can get their own Genocide gun, a weapon reserved for Motherships
If any other soldiers got this kind of treatment the Ravagers wouldn't even get the illusion of a chance

Isn't Storm Team just one guy, too?

Storm Team is 1-4 players in 2025

EDF 2017 talked about Storm 1, which was literally one man wrecking the entire Ravager army singlehandedly

I don't understand why the Ravagers would come back after that, if their recon said that their entire army was taken out by one dude, why would they even come back? were they that confident in the Earth Eaters and the Floating City

Well it had been years, maybe that unstoppable force disappeared

Instead it multiplied

Can I eventually get reloadable ranger laser guns like based Omega Team?

>trying to play through hard mode with a friend
>randos keep joining who have no armor
why even join if you know you're going to die in one hit

because better weapon drops

You won't get them because all you're doing is dragging the team down by making the bugs harder while you have absolutely nothing to contribute.

Try private slots if you want to play with just your friend

I like playing with randoms sometimes, I just wish their was a minimum weapon level requirement.

No. Wing Divers already have that, stupid. Ranger lasers are super fucking powerful. It's your secret weapon!

JUST PUNCH IT IN THE FACE!

FIRING REQUIEM CANNON!

You dumbass bugs, WERE GONNA SQUASH YA
