Orv posted:There've been a couple court decisions in the US that amount to no one has to pay companies to display their brand/things in an artistic production, which for the purposes of those court rulings video games are. I've never been clear how much people take advantage of that or not, the rulings were in like 2007 and 2013, I wanna say and you still get plenty of fake guns, cars, what have you. The Activision/Humvee lawsuit wasn't settled until 2020 and would be the key decider in whether or not DICE used actual gun names or fake ones. Because law moves slow and there was no guarantee when the suit would be settled, it's most likely they chose to not use real gun names just to play it safe in case the court case dragged on a year or two and then Activision lost. Military designations, like M4, M16, ect, are not protected by IP law so that's why you see a mix of familiar and unfamiliar names in the current and last generation of games.

Ah yeah. I'm pretty sure there was another ruling on it years ago but it may not have been as generous.

Interestingly the M5 *is* real, but there's no A# revision because it's a new Colt product, and while I haven't played 2042 yet the one in the grainy chinese streamer footage looks pretty bang on for the real Colt M5 Enhanced Carbine.

having the nopats as a refugee army basically loopholes in all manner of cool anachronistic poo poo the way they find dudes in civil wars rolling with stuff that they found mothballed in a captured arsenal. Go for it chief you captured that old PPSh and took the time to swab out all the cosmoline, might as well enjoy ventilating some jerks with it

The United States posted:Hell yeah the technicals from BF2 Special Forces are back I'm not the only one that played the Special Forces expansion??? Fun fact: My experience with Battlefield 2 was delayed significantly because my parents got me the expansion for Christmas in 05 instead of the base game.  So I kept playing the demo for some number of months until I saved up and got BF2 for realsies!

Here is the best footage yet. Clear as day, the player has a good framerate and is actually able to play. He is in a chopper raining down hell on things, and it gives you a really good view of the entire map from high up.

One of the things about BF that bothers me the most and I was reminded of it when the guy took seemingly half a dozen rockets to kill that one guy, is how vehicle artillery can be so ineffective against infantry. I've got tons of one hit kills with the LAV but so many more where I light em up and get nothing. The secondary tank MG taking all day to kill someone. And, to my mind, a gun mounted on a tank ought to have considerably less recoil than a gun in someones hands? Doesn't that make sense? Likewise with the attack chopper rockets, my god you shouldn't need 4 or 5 to kill someone, and there ought to be reasonable splash damage. I know its all in the interest of balance but why not make the vehicles stronger and make repairing harder? Explosive ammo meant to cripple literal loving tanks oughta work just fine on human flesh

im a colossal dipshit and completely misunderstood the AI. Every time i thought I was getting killed by the AI, i instead was killed by a human. In my defense, when u get killed, it shows the player icon in the corner, and the only icon players have right now is one that literally says "AI" Now that I know what the AI looks like, I realize that I havent interacted with it that much to notice if its good or not. my bad guys

How come when I get shot in the torso my character doesn’t fall to the ground and force me to spend the next 30 minutes slowly bleeding to death as I contemplate all the choices in my life. This game is stupid.

Codo has held this opinion for literally years, he's like a walking catch-22: either the game is too arcadey or abstracted and he doesn't like it for those reason (see: BF, COD), or the game is like squad or arma and it's too nerdy/grognardy/esoteric and not enough people play it for him to bother

OG Red Orchestra had vehicles that worked like this; but to make it work and be fun in a much more unforgiving game it also had No 3rd Person camera Terrible visibility while buttoned up An intentionally awkward control scheme for the turret that was keyboard only Limited ammunition that was split into HE and AP Required multiple people to operate Died to a single well placed panzerfaust or ATR hit.

I saw something that looked like you had the ability to change your ammo on the fly - light/medium/heavy/AP/extended-mag versions of same, not all present on all weapons though. Not sure how much damage the AP stuff would do to an armored vehicle but the video showed the player was clearly doing damage with their LMG and it was very obviously able to penetrate the APC's cockpit to damage the driver/passengers inside as it was popping up red hit markers in the crosshairs as opposed to the white squared-off ones for regular vehicle damage. I want to see how effective it is against a littlebird because we've already established you can carry an LMG and a stinger while also being a medic (no bag, just the heal pistol though)

is there any word on how spotting is in-game? BF5's 'i saw a tank over there' way of doing things felt like an overcorrection but 4 and 1 sometimes come off as too generous.
