What maps/modes do you guys want to see? I’d be happy to queue them up on my server.

I only play hardcore but the server browser has lots of advanced filters. I have it set to 60hz or greater tick, conquest large, 64 players, no more than 10 slots free and I get a bunch every time, with several with good ping that I can choose from. I usually lean towards the severs that have the most maps available. I haven't gotten a round on Hainan yet, or Propaganda or Sunken Dragon which were all good.

There's a racist piece of poo poo named Axewolf spamming BF1 servers with racist bullshit. I reported him a few weeks ago and have multiple screenshots and this guy is still at it. He's been in 2 of my matches tonight despite leaving as soon as I noticed his spam.

Anything that can be done to get this guy banned? Reporting him through Origin does nothing and somehow modern Battlefield games lack the functionality to report players???

Distasteful an option as it may be, try tagging ea support on Twitter with screenshots and say something like, can't report this guy in game, is this the sort of behavior EA finds acceptable in its community etc.

been dipping back into the last 3 games - all on ps5 due to them being on ps+ or part of some collection and its been a good time.
turns out I really like 4, but it runs like rear end on ps5 - 900p on my nice 65 inch oled tv looks awful. but it looks like theres a BF sale on steam happening and i'm sure my 980ti can handle 4 on my potato pc...

i think i'm gonna drop the 8 bucks and do it. do we have any dedicated servers at the moment?
also i've heard pc is rampant with cheaters - is that still the case with the resurgence?

It's a symptom of making people pay for maps (which, as far as my spotty memory goes, they did in this game?).

So a good 70% of servers or so are basically just vanilla maps because that's what everyone has, guaranteed.

Yup. Back then you bought map packs to get more maps. Or...you didn't and just suffered.

It's why I'm really glad they're making the map packs/expansions free now. It avoids splitting up the player base.

From what I've seen on PC for BF4 the cheating isn't too rampant but definitely steer clear of official servers as they don't have any admins to handle cheaters

after editing wikipedia as a joke for 16 years, i ve convinced myself that homer simpson's japanese name translates to the "The beer goblin"
I haven't seen a cheater in Battlefield 4, 1, or V in a few weeks which is has been a pleasant surprise. Maybe the Warzone update for season four pushed them all back there?

Edit: and V was thick with cheaters a few months ago, too.

There's occasionally 300 ping aimgods with names like □□□□□□□□□ in bf5, but generally speaking the casual and mostly dead nature of the games keeps most of the super obvious cheaters away. But I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of bfv cheats will work with bf6 with only minor modifications and we'll see quite a few hackers post release for however long the game is hot poo poo

Why does this game chug so badly on ps5? Is it actually doing well and the aspect ratio is just deceiving me that badly?

That's some really good flying. Actually tried a jet for the first time in forever yesterday and it did not go like that video lol

I really miss my old logitech extreme 3d pro stick, because trying to fly with a hotas in a bf game is both incredibly overkill, and really unintuitive when half the buttons are on a throttle component that you really don't want to use for bf jet speed control

Maybe I just gotta suck it up and finally learn to learn how to fly m/kb for bf6 but bleurgh my principles, I'd think I'd rather just not fly

e: got a video from back in the day where i put up a similar kpm but with the rocket pods instead of the jdam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTK7Ja7gY-U, strange to see how much freelook I used instead of third person

Jokes on everyone going back to BF4. Going to feel like a fish out of water due to the movement system and gunplay of BFV (the only good parts of the game) being the jumping off point for 2042.

When bfv and bf1 launched I don’t think certain joysticks worked. It seems like it’s a real low priority for dice.

Realistically you’re probably better off using a gamepad or mkb over a joystick for planes. Or you can gamble on 2042 having actual joystick support and getting a modern joystick like the vkb nxt

I think one of the things that irks me the most about Battlefield 1 is that they make a big deal out of Behemoths but in truth they're mostly useless, and indeed are a hindrance to the already losing team they're supposed to be helping since they'll be down a couple players who'll be wasting time piloting the silly things instead of being actually helpful

Yeah, I switched to one randomly and nailed a couple people with it right away, I was surprised. It's a good weapon for engineers in open maps, where you might want to pop out of your tank and shoot at an RPG guy.

For the first few months of the game the behemoths were actually something to respect. It's just that then everyone started to figure out how to kill them really fast and they just evaporated.

Well except the ship. That thing always sucked. The zeppelin was potentially the most powerful but people figured out about a dozen different ways to kill them super fast after about a month. The train was a monster if it was used properly and had infantry support (and you kept DipshitNub69 from getting in thing and driving it straight into the mines the other team set). I never had much experience with the tank.

Honestly they should either have been invincible or at the very least be able to repair themselves like normal vehicles can

Also the Mortar version of the Artillery Truck can be an absolute monster on the right maps, had a match earlier where I got like a 63:5 k:d ratio where like at least 50 of those were me in the truck and those deaths were all from the beginning of the match before I got in the truck

Yeah, the big weakness of the Steel Weenie is that it's a huge target that everyone can always see once it's in play. I would jump on the HMG emplacements and just blast away at the thing non-stop, racking up like +300 hit streaks and multiple kills before I finally had to let the barrel cool off.

You park down with an ammo box, jump off the gun to fire with your LMG, start the reload and cancel it by jumping back on the gun. Can get a multi thousand chain of damage
