Seems to be a flight assist on the helicopters that you can turn on and off with left shift but their is no indicator I can see where it is on/off

Made flying a lot speedier with it off

It feels like they picked up where they left off with 4 and are trying to iterate on that and make it better, which is good. It doesn't feel like they learned anything from BFV or BF1, which isn't good.

As someone who played both this and the tech alpha I'm having a great time, granted I'm also giving them a lot of leeway on poo poo getting optimized and polished in a month ( and hopefully DLSS support at launch too).

It really is hard to overstate just how horrible the UI and general UX is.



This is at 1440p and it honestly feels like I'm playing at 720p. Just huge ugly blocks all over my screen, garish clashing neon writing everywhere, it's so so bad.

Played for 3 rounds. Pretty fun but very rough around the edges. Guns and movement feel awesome. UI is horrible and just feels like clutter at times. Tweaking the opacity settings made it less obnoxious. I really miss the squad revive animation from 5, the paddle animation just isn't as cool. I could not find certain keybinds so they may just be missing. Vehicle cockpit view is super glitchy at max FOV and doesn't keep up with your view so it looks like it stutters and gets in the way. Tank turning the main tank body and rotate the turret at the same time only seemed to work sometimes. Worst though is the rebinding for pilot is bugged so I can't bind yaw to mouse left and right. It bugs out so you only get one direction making helicopters a no go for me right now.

Even with all that I'm having fun. Lots of great potential for squad play. Spotting is very different now so just certain gadgets and vehicle seats can spot. I was the recon guy with the drone painting 7 enemies holding the point so a heli could wreck them from range.

Performance is generally good for me on a 2070, though I do keep getting massive framedrops when doing certain things like opening up the vehicle call-in. They're usually gone after a few seconds.

Also happy to see that the AA truck seems fun and good. Getting a new lock-on after the target flares is pretty fast, so with two missiles you're almost guaranteed a hit unless they immediately move to break line of sight. The gun feels nice and chunky against helicopters as well, though it's not quite as much of an infantry blender as the BF4 AA was at release.

Just a reminder to ya'll there are almost never major meta-level changes, like UI revisions or major performance improvements/updgrades/optimizations between beta and release. This has happened for every BF game. What you're seeing in the beta is very close to what you're going to get live. If it's not, 2042 will prove to be an exception, but you're fools if you're convincing yourself the game will be significantly different a month from now.

True. But every single game has seen significant improvement/changes within the first half year of official release. If that is not the case tehn yet again 2042 is the exception.

Playing on a 3700x and rx 5700xt, 1440p all high and it’s running really well.

Is anyone collecting any tips or tricks or known bugs for people to be aware of?

- Apparently yaw left isn’t working if you’re flying with KBM?
- No map
- Running bordered window has slight performance increase.

Left Yaw works but needs to be edited in profsave. You can’t double bind it to a key and a mouse axis though.

Changing the width on your banner and desaturating some of your colors is extremely easy and fast to do if the entire internet is like "Hey you fucks, this sucks to look at"

Am I hopeful it'll change? No. But it very well could if enough people say it.

Specs are as follows:
Ryzen 9 5950X

32 gigs of ram

Running on Medium at 1920x1080 and getting around 60-70 fps with dynamic res enabled, hoping to be able to run medium at 1440p with dlss enabled eventually.

I am really concerned about the specialists because it's something that is too big to fix. I don't like that the specialists have the same voice and same face across all factions, it completely neuters faction identity. I'm fine with all factions sharing specialist abilities, but the fact that they're fighting on both sides makes the game feel more like Apex Legends or Overwatch. TF2 has more faction identity, but that required having extremely bright and obvious color identification that would not work in Battlefield.

Yeah that UI is here to stay, they may tweak some placement and scale but the overall layout and color scheme is what we're getting. I'll disagree on the performance improvements though, maybe not overall higher performance but we've definitely seen stability and hitching decreases at or shortly after release.

Sab669

Huge text is fine. Screen-wide strips of red on a 27" monitor is obnoxious. But your squad mates' names in the bottom left does not need to be as loud as it is. Huge bright cyan weapon icons and a thicc health bar also in neon green in the bottom right. Not really sure we need a permanent, cyan reminder next to your ammo counter that if you hold down T you can customize your weapon, either.

Like when everything is gently caress-your-eyes bright they're all shouting "Look at me!" equally loud so it's just confusing what's worth paying attention to and what isn't. It's textbook "how not to design a UI"

like compare Bardeh's image above to BF4:



Yea, the squad names are also green but it's not "windmill slam that saturation slider" green. Things that are unimportant aren't screaming for you to notice them. The only good looking part of the new UI is the minimap, and even that is just different not better or worse IMO.
Your weapon loadout isn't a quarter of your screen either.

Help! A guinea pig tricked me.
Played a few rounds today and can't say I ever got annoyed or distracted by the UI. I kind of like the bold colours.

In general it seems fun and battlefield-y, just hope whatever is causing the vehicles to stutter around is solved for launch and I'll be happy.

GrappleGuy - best for newbies, great to get up on roofs and throw down a medkit and snipe and learn the map

SentryGuy - only useful for defending when enemies are coming to you, gun lasts a surprisingly long time unless a vehicle comes by since no one seems to be carrying launchers

DroneGuy - the MAV is back, can EMP vehicles, is the only thing that actually spots enemies, and has a pretty long but not unlimited range

MediWoman - healgun is nigh useless because of the limited ammo and how hard it is to hit teammates running around the place, especially with the lag in this beta, but she has the best dialogue when making big jumps in the buggy
