I think it is the lack of sound or at least compared to CoD.. it was strange. Just something to get used to I suppose.

The best thing to do with “server rules” is to immediately use the the weapon that they have banned. No stinger/igla? gently caress you duder I’m using that thing.

It kills you when you get a kill with it as I found out, lol. Who bans shotguns, honestly!

Yeah, one of my favourite things in the current CoDs is being able to set what the hitmarker sound is and how loud it is. I hope 2042 has that kind of feature.

I've been playing on a server that bans frag rounds and has a sniper limit, and if you use either to kill someone, the server kills you.

Hardcore isn't really a popular mode, especially with the tryhard pilots. You're unlikely to see any of the really good ones if thats the only mode you play.

I remember Hardcore mode being well populated in BC2, there was a simple HC checkbox on the map selection/matchmaking screen (on consoles at least) and just having that there front and centre was very effective. I haven’t seen the same popularity of HC since in subsequent BF games, where most people use the server browser and don’t bother to change filters. Though in all honesty I only played HC to squish friendly snipers with the Blackhawks on that big map with the windmills.

Yes! And though it's a little tedious, you can customize everything from how big they get to what color they are. Differentiating suppressive fire, hits, headshots and kills is actually pretty useful for finding people in smoke. Man that's a dark sentence.

any servers running less than 60tick should be DDOS into oblivion, but 90tick+ is bf4 perfection so your shots don't magically reject from server side authentication

So higher tickrate basically means better hit detection? Is there a reason why servers are still doing 30/60?

Some bf4 server runs 60hp but no friendly fire and I am convinced it's the best way to play bf4, makes snipers and shotguns actually fun to use.

If you do curse me, it'll only be because you cant overtake me for first place on the team. I'm not one of those hide away in the hills snipers, I'm a run around like a madman capping all the flags causing havoc and grief snipers

Honestly HC BF4 with a short optic sniper rifle up close is a shitton of fun and everyone should at least try it.

my intro to battlefield was BC2 HC mode on 360 with friends, sneaking through some construction site and trying to spot/kill enemy snipers. it was fun as hell.

I think I'm going to join the BF4 rehype train.

But it's been five goddamn years since I've played it. What are some forgiving weapons to learn for each kit? I think I have maybe 2/3 of the guns unlocked in general.

Most automatic weapons with an RPM under 800 or so are pretty forgiving and simple to learn. You’ll lose more close range fights with the lower RPM but you might lose them anyways if you aren’t used to a higher rate. The AK-5C carbine is the very first carbine you get and a perfect starting weapon all classes get access to.

Ump 45 for engineer was my go-to for a long time. Pretty good damage for an smg and next to no recoil. Only downsides are that it has a slower rpm and only holds 25 rounds, but those are easy to play around since its so easy to hit most of your shots

Has EA said what theyre gonna show-off for BF2042 on Thurs? Im hoping for a long gameplay demonstration

Went back to BF5 for fun, but this game is basically dead for casual play:
- half of the players are level >200, the other half are low level that (I assume) try out the game like me... So games quickly end up a stomp if one team has more high level players
- the gunplay and low ttk is crap... Ok if you can aim and have twitch reflexes it may be cool, but for casual players like me this means you're dead before you can even shoot back.
- enemy player visibility is crap, i didn't like 3D spotting but at least it meant you could see the enemy
- weapon and especially vehicle unlocks are behind so much grind
- paradoxically, vehicles being weak means that they all hang back sniping where you can't counter them
- etc.
So yeah, unless you can spend 8 hours a day to git gud at this game you needn't apply.
Hopefully they won't copy anything from 5 for 2042 :v:

I miss the gloriously broken ragdoll physics of BF2. Watching someone’s corpse fly a few hundred feet into the air from a direct artillery hit never got old. I’ve seen it happen in BF1/5 if you take enough explosive damage while vaulting or climbing.
