no way to really tell since the technical test isn't gameplay feature complete but it's closer to the BF5 system

Am I remembering correctly that BF4 had "fire any non suppressed gun and you get marked on the minimap"? That kinda felt like BS

It feels like a fair compensation for positional audio being spotty (heh). I never had a problem with it.

Either philosophically or in gameplay.

Some people have stereo speakers, and some people have surround sound headphones and virtual indicators of where noises are coming from on their screen.

I read a thing today saying it's BF5 style but some vehicles have a spotter seat (and probably a specialist gadget can spot?) and 3D spotting will be back for things like vehicles tagged by spotters.

Have not seen it in action though so heavy grains of salt.

NGL, it somehow still hasn't been long enough and I am completely dulled at seeing all those modern guns and equipment in the leaked footage. Hoping the game advances the timeline through content updates and we get railguns and hovertanks and Titans.

The story builds off whatever the made up geo-politics and characters of 4 were, which means the Final Stand DLC is canon in the 2042 setting.

Building prototype walkers is cool and stuff. What about the Titan on Hangar 69 or whatever that map was called? Finally THIS BF is where titan mode will reappears. Right? :cry:

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. I want this game.

This looks really good but I have a feeling they might have to remove/change the rotor shadow flicker in the helo dashboard. As it looks right now, that might be an a+ seizure trigger for some people...

I like a lot of what I see, but I gotta say all the sliding and movement speed feels a little too apex or cod. Maybe it's the fov, but I always liked the slightly heavier feel of the soldiers in bf games.

If this game doesn't have a map that is basically the Raft from Snow Crash it will be a complete waste of the setting they developed.

Gonna have to second the "cant tell who's on who's team" with the specialists in the things I've seen, but I'll waive that because that's something they surely will have addressed when it comes time for a beta.

Yeah I imagine all they need to do is add that slight halo effect around players that was added in BFV to improve visibility

Yeah the effects like that and why the technical test doesn't look that impressive is that it's lacking a lot of sharers and post processing effects

People said that a lot about missing and broken stuff in BFV as well...

Seriously my number 1 wish is for them to finally make a BF game and remember what was good about the prior game and how they did it. Every new BF game was missing some blatantly obvious features that the prior game had. And it either took ages to implement or didn't come at all.

BF1 and BFV were both games I bounced off of, either because of the setting (BF1) or the maps (BFV at launch, no commentary past that as I didn't stick with it). I played a load of Bad Company 2 so I mostly appreciate tighter gunplay and having some big maps to move around in like BF2 and to some extent BF4, just not having to be in the middle of all of the poo poo forever is nice.

If they deliver on the big maps and don't completely ruin it with micro-transactions I expect I'll have a good time with this one.

Nice to see ADS reloading.

Notice that DICE have put in some kind of chroma key layer of the player's details - only shows up on the footage when they're looking at certain grey colours, like inside at 6:30. Smart. Well it would be, but no-one appears to give a gently caress about even blurring the white text out anyway.

It's that same way in Battlefield 4...

and Battlefield 1...

and Battlefield V

Luckily you play hardcore and that won't be a problem.


Edit: and in 3 and Bad Company 2 as well but to a lesser extent since the camera is so zoomed in you don't get as great a read of where they are

I like playing tdm in bfv (I know) as support and setting up with a mmg on the buildable cover that overlooks the long avenue that looks down on the square and med point, with the sandbag fortification around the corner. It's surprisingly defensible. Garners a shitload of resupply and suppression points. People tend to throw themselves at the impromptu machine gun nest.

Edit: I like playing support in bfv and role playing setting up a little MG nest in uncommon places with good overwatch and solid lane(s) of fire.

It's not that it's "bad" it just seems for some ungodly reason Dice decided to have call outs not just be "Enemy Spotted" now it's "Enemy spotted at 200 degrees 200 meters away" and since spotting has always been spammed hearing that constantly is already really old and really annoying.

BUT as usual, it could just be the Alpha jank working its "magic." Another thing we'll have to wait and see if the beta has ironed out by September.

If they took the time to record and put in voice acting it will 100% be there upon release.

Well yeah, I was mainly referring to how the poor gal was constantly talking over herself with it though.

Edit: Like if you're spotting something for the first time it's fine, but if you're going to be constantly shouting exact range and compass direction when you're trying to keep something painted....yeah.
