I have no idea what it takes to spawn the robot or a vehicle. I sometimes can no problem, and sometimes it does nothing. One game I had a flashing circle around me the whole game, no idea what it was, but sometimes it was blue and sometimes red. I had one game I got stuck in the command console and could not get it to go away. Still think it's a pretty good battlefield game, i mean it works well with all the people in it, minimal lag and some stutter, but otherwise seems to run good. I hate the origin client though, it causes more issues than anything I think and I can't get the nvidia overlay for FPS to work, though video capture seems to work fine, but at a weird resolution.

D-Pad posted:Holy poo poo the tank is an infantry delete button (the cannon not the machine gun). I just parked it on a good hill and played artillery. My team repeatedly took points because I deleted anybody who showed their face. It's like sniping with an main battle tank. A well placed vehicle can become a sniping god and run your kill count through the roof. Generally it's like this on larger maps like this, and hopefully, we'll have some smaller non-vehicle laden maps to rotate through because it can get really annoying.

Played a few rounds of this so far on Series X. Idk if it's this map but I'm not really having fun with it  The last Battlefield game I played a lot of was 3 (on PC) and I loved it, and 2 (also on PC) was my poo poo back when it came out, but this isn't doing it for me the way those did. Maybe console Battlefield is harder for me to get into? I tried playing 1 and V on PS4 and couldn't get into those either. It sucks because I've poured hundreds of hours into this series over the years and really want to like the new games in the series when they come out. Perhaps I should try playing this on PC again and see if that rekindles my love for these games, but my PC has a GTX1060 and that's just above the minimum requirement lol

Played a few rounds, surprised it runs at 60 fps on my rx480 at 1080p on low settings, but it does. Some dips but only minor. There is a major bug with tanks though, when I tried gunner, the movement was irritatingly choppy and "bounced back and forth" a quarter turn. It was sickness-inducing bad. Seems to be the tank turret rotating this way and the gunner view that way that causes the issue. Gamers fun overall but the map felt empty, I don't think that was 128 people tbh.

Warad posted:I really hope this is one of those "Plays a lot better than it looks watching it on youtube" because oof. I was hoping to chalk up my disinterest with the technical test leaks because well, technical test, duh, but I'm seeing a lot of the same issues here, where everything lacks that sort of punch and details to stuff like the gunplay, animations, sound, presentation, UI, etc that even BFV managed to pull off somewhat, everything in 2042 looks cheap and the gameplay itself looks like some sort of bastardization of COD/Warzone except "bigger" Hot Reddit take aside but someone put it to words where it just looks like a "cheap knockoff Battlefield" instead of...Battlefield. The only thing I've seen that looks great is, as mentioned, the grappling hook. Things that lack good gameplay feel comparatively: gun sounds, hit marker sounds, kill sound, enemy movement sounds, sprinting, tac sprinting, jumping, mantling, parachuting, sliding, grappling, reloading, etc. Maybe this is because I completely turned off screen shake? Things that actually feel really good: ground vehicles and driving around helicoptors

the aural and visual feedback on the underbarrel rifle noob tube is worse than you would get in battlefield 2 I might try playing w/ non-low settings and screen shake and see how the game feels

Xbox series X - in game UI text is microscopic and revive/pick up basically looks the same - weird, map wide shadow glitching constantly until the storm comes and then you cant see poo poo anyway - the gunner seat on tanks and heli is basically a laser beam with a needle-eye for a cross hair. there is zero bloom at at all meaning if you arent 150% on target you straight up miss and there is so many particle effects you cant even see that you're missing - Spotting should just work like it did in BF4 everything since has been awful - doesnt save attachment loadouts between games - LMG attachment tree thing wont open after you use it the first time until you respawn - the recon drone EMP thing doesnt seem to do anything? - cant give the robodog comments - swapping Crouch/Melee (alternate button layout) results in the Acog/red dot scope swap button also causing you to crouch/stand up - gunner seat in land vehicles is unplayable. choppy/stuttering movement of the main turret means your camera constantly jerks around. - AK24 doesnt remember attachments between respawns - the UI is awful Its certainly a battlefield game but its janky as gently caress and even if this build is 6 months old its probably going to be a terrible launch.

I just searched for a random clip to make my point, but are there even hit marker sounds in this beta? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA6DwKBtAZ0&t=751s hit marker sounds should not be subtle they should be satisfying and chunky

Beta is kind of meh. There are bugs that can be ironed out, like your attachments for the AK resetting when you die. There’s some really bad stuff like the air craft rubber banding around. The map is pretty awful with most of the points being on completely flat terrain with a sky scraper on either end of a no man’s land. Part of what made BF1 so good was the map design that shut down long sight lines, which BF5 unfortunate promptly forgot. Hopefully the other maps are better.

so......... how does the specialist system work? Is it only the "hero" type specialists? Is it only going to be like that in the main game? does anyone know if (short of portal) there are going to be any actual 'default' + customizable personal characters for each class? Honestly if its all just heroes like its overwatch or siege or apex or something I commit myself to being really disappointed that there will be no faction-specific looks/default customizable kits. The idea of a server filled with 128 clones of the same 10 people sounds.... dumb as high hell.

I ended up turning off crossplay and I think it plays better. Nothing against console players, but I can't hit people at the distance they can, and I am pretty sure at close quarters I have a huge turning advantage. It just makes the encounters easier to approach since I don't know if I am going to be lasered at 200m by an AR. I'm sure most people won't notice, but I have way better games with PC only.

You change your specialist and you get a different type of equipment and your look changes. Everything else stays the same. So you either get a grapple, a drone, a turret or I forgot the last one. You can still use whatever guns, grenades and gadget, they are from a universal pool.

I'm really happy with the beta. Map offers a decent amount of variety in engagements. So it looks like to spot stuff you have to actually spot it. No q spam or ping needed. Vehicles you can ping to draw attention to. Sounds are a little weak and there are some goofy glitches, but compared to every other BF beta this is pretty smooth.

Can anyone explain the spot mechanic in this game? The last Battlefield I played was BF4 and spotting in that game was pretty nuts. In this game it's kind of awkward? I hit q next to a soldier and it doesn't do anything, but vehicles work just fine. If I just hit Q on random terrain it creates a waypoint for the squad, even though I'm not a squad leader?

So this game really struggles to handle more than a single monitor. It lets go of the mouse, but then can't recapture it. Also the resolution seems locked to something much lower than 4K. The graphics look very pixelated and grainy.

There will be a lot of operators from what's announced / what we can expect, plus skins per operator. Cardboard Fox posted:Can anyone explain the spot mechanic in this game?

Vehicles you can q spot to bring your squad's attention to.

does it at least feel less horrible than BFV? i was incredibly burned by preordering that after loving BF4 and not playing BF1 because i didn't care much for the setting, but maybe  can pull something good out of their rear end this time?
