That's typical YouTube Steamers, gotta make that  Anyhow, I am going to go back to playing Squad for my Battlefield fix. It seems that there's a few more months before we learn anything new or than this looks like another Battlefield 4.

I'm... cautiously hype? It's a weird feeling. I was seriously unimpressed by the previous few non-modern battlefields, and there are some things that bother me (like putting new specialists behind a paywall), but... it's a modern battlefield. I love the new mobility options that appear to be generally available. I also don't know about 128 players. I've been playing a bit of BF4 again lately and 64 players is already too much in that game, imo. I've had WAY more fun in 32 player modes.

Yami Fenrir posted:Future ones are though? Nope, since specialists actually effect gameplay unlike say new characters showing up in COD, they fall under the same list as new guns and equipment and such they're going to be completely free, literally the only premium content in 2042's passes is going to be strictly cosmetic. Edit: Symetrique posted:I think the wording on the product pages is kinda weird. This article is claiming that there's nothing gameplay related locked behind a paywall: And yeah, if anything at most for new specialists they MIGHT just do it like say, Rainbow Six Siege or Apex where you might have to grind a little to unlock them for free, and if you have the battle pass you'll instantly have them unlocked.

Same with maps and all that. I'm honestly not sure how much I should trust that kind of info right now. Like I'm looking at the store page and the Gold/Ultimate Edition say: "Year 1 Pass: 4 new Specialists, 4 Battle Passes", which the standard edition doesn't. Which kind of directly contradicts that statement which I don't think was actually officially stated anywhere? Pretty much every mention I've heard of it was second-hand.

Those who pay-to-play start with everything unlocked but those that don't have to start with everything locked and have to grind it out.

SpartanIvy posted:I have not played since BC2, so honest question, but did they remove the ability to pick up kits from dead players in later games? You can still do that, though as noted in BF5 it's just their gun. This could be me being old (it's definitely that) but I feel like BF is way too fast and way too lethal now for that to be a reliable option.

Honestly I'm not a big fan of the whole squad mechanic and would much rather be able to communicate with the whole team at once, even if admittedly the idea of 64 players speaking at once could have issues

You can call in tanks now to squish snipers. Also they took the tank parachute system straight from the Mars rovers: Parachutes get it slow-ish and close-ish then a rocket pack slows it for the last couple meters.

I actually would absolutely believe 5 RPGs/claymores/AT mines/whatever is standard, if literally everyone can summon a vehicle with enough points and the maps are big enough to hold 128 you're gonna be drowning in loving vehicles and have a ton of places to cover with claymores.

There's still a cap on how many vehicles can be called in. This seems excessive though:

God i hope they didn't ditch the dedicated ammo/health crates from BFV. It was so nice not having to chase down a pubbie and scream at them to hit their "give ammo" button every time i ran out of rockets

Symetrique posted:There's still a cap on how many vehicles can be called in. This seems excessive though: Yeah, I really hope they'll add in some factor to limit who can carry AT launchers. There really needs to be a distinct trade-off like a weaker/more situational main weapon, or otherwise you run into a BFV situation where you have a fifty rockets flying at your tank the moment you leave spawn. Just going "well you've got a limited gadget slot so you'll have to choose between rockets and ammo packs" is 100% not going to work, because pubbies love explosions and hate throwing packs.
