Fuck it then. For another pit sandwich and some 'tater salad, I'll post a few more.



Battlefield 1 assignments question - does "kills with a tank" refer specifically only to kills with the canon rather than the machine gun? I swear I have over 10 kills as a machine gunner, but the relevant assignment only registers 2.

I think kills with a tank have to be the main gun and may even be as a Tanker class.

BF1 assignments are loving stupid and only a handful of them are even worthwhile

Was it battlefield 1 or earlier than that when all the menus went stupid. Like "Cannot edit loadout except in app or an actual live game" stupid.

Im aware its a weird thing to complain about. But gently caress me all the menus have been garbage for the last few just absolutely garbage hiding or diaabling everything except BATTLEPACK BATTLEPACK.



To their credit they fix them it just takes a month or two after launch.

RE: Battlefield themes, say what you want about the game but I quite enjoyed the BFV rendition of it:

And this version as well that played a lot on the main menu:

Yeah it was BF1. They eventually patched in the ability to edit your loadouts in the main menu but you absolutely could not do that at launch lol.

You still can't edit your loadout \ check your assignments \ do anything other than shop for battle packs while waiting to join a game.

I have played every battlefield since BF2 and have never spent even one second thinking about the music.

BF2 is the version of the theme song that is permanently the "correct" one in my brain, all others are covers somehow.

also how could you have played BF2 and not remember this track:

On other forums, people will post leaked Battlefield 2042 gameplay and the responses are usually negative. Am I the only idiot who thinks everything looks solid? From the gameplay, the sound, the visuals, even the characters sound great.

A friend of mine that has played the BF games for like 15 years and is VERY critical of them, especially everything after 4, played a bit and said it “played fast and felt good.”

I know this is below even anecdotal, but I take his word for it. I guess he played a closed beta or something, but I haven’t been keeping up with that stuff.

you couldn’t at launch but Battlefield games having some of the absolute worst UI/UX in gaming is pretty standard

Speaking of terrible UI/UX I played BF4 with some friends tonight and I forgot how bad the squad experience is in that game. It may as well not exist for all the good it does to keep you on the same team/squad. Unless I was using it completely wrong but I didn’t see a thing that would help.

Yeah after hearing the soundtrack for myself it's not bad. It kinda reminded me a lot of the darker tracks from something like Jesper Kyd's work on Hitman. Obviously not as dramatic as 1's and V's and of course nothing you can put to a Rendezook montage, but meh, it fits with the atmosphere DICE is going for with the whole "World War fought by refugee Mercenaries fighting over scraps of civilization after climate change hosed up everything."

despite owning a 2080 i will play on ps5 becasue:
controllers make people worse and i stay alive longer (crossplay no)
i j ust paid way too much for an oled tv
the game costs 10 dollars more and therefore is 10 dollars better
more exclusive, harder to get, less riff raff on ps5
no hackers (crossplay no)

I think you can stick a keyboard and mouse on the PS4 but laziness has prevented me from trying it so far

This is what I'm most looking forward to and the reason I'm gonna probably buy regardless. I've played like 12-1400 hours of BF3/4...by myself, as a true masochist. Looking forward to having some fun and having more than like a 54% win rate.

The universal truth for a lot of MP games for me will always be:

The real fun is the goon squads we joined along the way (to this realization)

Worked for every BF since I started with 3.
