Charles 1998 posted: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. It also makes absolutely no sense in a game where they're pushing huge team sizes. You're guaranteeing tens of each character per team. Unless they're going to make them "one per team" in that hazard mode, it just seems utterly pointless and an obvious attempt to copy CoD and Apex without considering whether it fits the game they've made.

Orc Priest posted:I don't know if their internal build is much further along but yeah this game feels like it could use a delay into the spring. Other than that, it's fun as hell. Been having a ton of fun. The guns have a nice feel to them and Orbital is a great map. I can already tell I'm going to be playing here a lot. Are we playing the same game? It could be released TODAY. Yeah, some weird missile flash stuff, but it's nearly perfection right now, IMO.

Cancelled my Amazon order and just got it through steam. Game feels great imo, I was worried that the map was going to be too big like people mentioned, but I dont feel that at all, lots of big battles happening. The bugs and UI are bad, couldnt open my map and pinging wasnt really working. But the game was a lot of fun, make sure to play with your buds, guys. ALSO HOLY poo poo YOU CAN GRAPPLE ON TO AIRCRAFT loving RAD. Managed to grapple on and the apex of my swing took me to the line of sight of the pilot and I fuckin popped his rear end.

The Kins posted:I'm probably the only person who likes the huge text, because I'm a colossal idiot too busy looking for things to shoot before they blend into the scenery and shoot me to pay attention to such trivialities as "who owns this point" and "am I losing" I like the really bright names over characters in that screenshot. I have trouble with the ones in BF5, even with colorblind settings on. I can tell the difference between "squad mate" and "enemy" if they're side by side (or ally/enemy, depending on the colorblind setting in question) but not quickly when they're by themselves. There's also one other thing that may or may not be better (haven't played yet, going to this evening). My friend always gets frustrated with me because I can never tell where shots are coming from, and the reason for this is that I usually can't notice the direction of the indicators in the short time they're visible. Like I'll be aiming down sights and my vision will be at a point above the indicators, so I can't see them and react fast enough (if someone shoots me, it almost always results in me dying in the end; it's extremely rare that I manage to win a fight that someone else started, with most of my kills being the result of me getting he jump on people). It's especially bad in vehicles, since I'll be zoomed in with a tank's cannon or whatever and I won't be able to immediately ascertain whether the shot is coming from "behind the tank" or "behind my viewpoint" (and if it's the former, I have to account for where my cannon is pointed relative to the front of the tank).

I was able to grab vehicles/choppers basically at will, which was maybe the first time that’s happened to me since I’ve been playing BF. Couldn’t control them worth and drat and I can’t wait for a practice mode. Can’t believe that they didn’t have one in V.

The cool thing is that you can actually move while midair so you swing around stuff. I feel like that thing will involve some pretty high level nonsense sooner or later.

As someone who really liked BC2, BF3 and BF4 this game is... just sort of there. Not good or bad, just bland. Maybe it's the map, but I can't really get excited about it. I have a feeling if it wasn't called Battlefield, no one would be playing it. But at least now the delay makes sense. Dumb preorder on my part.

Played around a bit more and like it. Feels like bf4 but not stuck in the mud. The tornado thing is loving weird and I wish they would've just kept levolution instead. Interested to see how it is with an actual squad vs just loving around solo. Helicopters are nigh unflyable with whatever dumb-rear end control scheme they opted for on console/controllers, so that's a bit of a bummer since I like being a transport pilot.

Played a few matches, game is really good. Helicopter rockets need some damage increases however as it takes around 4 out of 8 rockets from the main attack helicopter to kill a person. Littlebird minigun is almost useless, rockets are slightly less.

I really think it's the map. A large part of it is just so empty, it feels like another one of those vehicle farm maps where large parts of it have jack poo poo for cover from all of the air vehicles. I think the map with the skyscraper and the village (forgot the name) would have been far more interesting. Yami Fenrir fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Oct 6, 2021 |

Come to think of it if I ever get the NATO/Warsaw Pact "Battlefield 1985" of my dreams, I want them to bring back the BF:V vehicle radios. F-14s blasting Danger Zone as they zip around the skies, me driving my T-80 through the Fulda Gap with Come On Eileen blaring at top volume

Can't say about friend invites but I'm considering refunding on steam and going over to Origin just because it seems like I have to manually launch Origin before the game launches anyway. it gives me an error about EA Desktop/Origin not being able to run at the same time but there's no EA Desktop processes running. Once I launch Origin (which it doesn't give me an error for) then I can start the game from Steam.

Bardeh posted:It really is hard to overstate just how horrible the UI and general UX is. I agree, this doesn't look great. Hopefully they will add in same scaling options at some point. I do think the "Enemy Took Sector" notification in the screenshot is a bug because I've never seen it display as that size before. All the sector control notifications should be the same size like the smaller one. I do think the UI looks better on an ultrawide monitor with more space on the sides. It's pretty much perfect on my monitor. I like the vibrant colors, though I can see how they might not be for everyone.

Yea that looks much better on ultra wide. I still maintain not everything needs 100% saturation, but it looks more out of the way to make up for how loud the colors are.

Two things: I was using the sight with the red dot and reflex scope. I was able to switch between them, but I can't seem to figure out what button I pressed to do it. Also - how do I actually open the map? M doesn't seem to work
