the giant flat open rocket space area probably would work better if you could actually call in and reliably spawn in transport vehicles...

For the specialist complaints, on top of only having 4 out of the 10 that launch is going to have, the beta has literally all the customization disabled; supposedly DICE is promising a fair bit of options for each specialist and the latest news about cosmetics/progression says you'll be able to mix and match headgear and outfits (albeit maybe not to the same extent as V since they only mention headgear and body, not headgear, body AND legs like it is in V.) The exception to this is apparently Legendary outfits which won't be interchangeable, which if I had to hazard a guess is probably outfits like the ones dropping with the special editions and preorders. Still think a good compromise would just be offering faction specific color schemes and camos for the outfits, V had the same issue where you couldn't tell which class someone was at a glance but at the very least cosmetics and camos were faction specific so you could at least identify friend from foe.

Mulva posted:Only issue I'm having is that it seems like the PCC config of the assault rifle is just objectively the best overall gun. Like on this map I just can't see a reason to bother with anything else. Maybe in a smaller, tighter map I'd rock a shotgun. Or if I cared about sniping there's that. If I just want to run around and make people dead though it's basically just "Take a 9MM M4". Honestly the DMR is a lot of fun for mid to longer range engagements which there are a lot of on this map.

I imagine they will be keeping this in since they made a whole thing in the trailer of attaching c4 to an ATV and blowing up a heli. Does the drone have enough range to get to the top of the big building if you are at the bottom. I'm going to be clearing sky wookies tonight.

I've decided this game is fun b/c you can just die and respawn and shoot things quickly instead of the current genre appeal of spending a lot of time dead or looting

orbital would probably feel more crowded instead of half the server aimlessly running around if: the map button worked objective hud markers worked instead of seemingly bug out objectives called much more attention to being contested vehicle transport call-ins and spawning worked squad comms worked pinging worked

I will give the DMR the fact it can take AP ammo, which makes it easier to harass some jack-hole in a helicopter. Every little bit helps, especially if you have a few people with AP unloading on them. The problem, of course, is that everyone regens health. So if you don't kill them they just sit quietly for 20 seconds and you wasted that limited AP ammo you have. I'm hoping for hardcore servers or something where that poo poo is turned off.

toggle posted:Is there still a max of 2 tanks available at one time? In a 128 player server? lmao Lord and I thought that was a bad limit on 64 player servers(on PS4), it should be like at least quintuple that number at that scale, especially for those of us who honestly are loving awful at the infantry parts of this game and get like 99% of their enjoyment out of using vehicles Also the more and more I play this franchise the more I'm convinced that allowing players to pilot aircraft is a mistake and the franchise would be better without them

CuddleCryptid posted:Playing on console, I've opened that menu but I can't seem to actually select any of them. Does any console player have a tip? each face button of the controller cycles the relative part of the tree. EG. A/X on xbox/ps5 changes the lower leg, Y/Triangle the top one etc. e: the UI is 100% the worst thing in the game and it is actively fighting against you having any kind of fun in the game. the attachment changing thing is especially annoying because you rarely have enough time in a firefight to be loving around with it and there is zero explanation on advantages/disadvantages to it. you also cant rush through the menu because if you want to change your scope and press Y/Triangle too fast it cycles your weapon to the pistol instead. Like I had no idea that AP rounds were only better against vehicles and had been handicapping myself on ammo because they hold less rounds per magazine (which also is not advertised on the loadout menu) Laserface fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Oct 8, 2021 |

I think the tactical attachment system adds nothing to the open beta version of the game and could've been replaced with an alternative fire mode button which switches to AP ammo/shotgun slugs/underbarrel/silenced. Is it fun to min/max and tactically switch to long/range/silenced barrels or iron/long range sights? Is it fun for your AR to have 3 separate ammo pools and mag sizes? Does it add interesting decisions? No not really. At least on PC if you set up your keybinds well, it is very easy to switch the attachments mid combat if you already know what you want to switch to in what situation. Is it fun? No. Maybe the full version of the game will have interesting options

I like it for all the attachments except ammo. I hope they just change it to a shared pool of ammo instead of splitting it up across 3 magazine types, two of which I might not even want to use. I imagine we'll unlock more in the main game and select 3 or attachments per category.

One of my big gripes is that, although bullets do damage to the enemy, it doesn't seem to otherwise affect their movement, their aim, anything. Also, I've had indicators that show me I've had two headshots+ on hits and still lost the fight after taking two hits.

Being able to swap attachments on the fly kicks rear end. Having AP rounds for many weapons makes harassing vehicles so much better because chopper pilots are all cowards.

Laserface posted:Specialists add nothing to the game you couldnt add to the class system while also making it impossible to tell who is on your team. and what those team mates can offer. Agreed. Everyone is either an ant or jumping around in your face and you don't recognize who they are until the fight is over. Don't want to get all negative but IMO by far the worst Battlefield I've ever played. Launch + patches will fix the jank, but Battlefields are all about that secret sauce where all the mechanics click and making cool plays or helping turn the tide is always possible. No gameplay mechanic in this fits into any other in a meaningful way, from the squad mechanics to the map layout to the gunplay. I don't know how you really fix it except start over. I didn't love BF1 or V like I did BC2 but they had a lot of heart I guess? and moment to moment were fairly engaging. comedyblissoption posted:I think the tactical attachment system adds nothing to the open beta version of the game and could've been replaced with an alternative fire mode button which switches to AP ammo/shotgun slugs/underbarrel/silenced. I also don't think this will make sense in the long run. Sure, it's lame when BF turns into whack-a-mole, endlessly respawning to counter whatever random situation just made your kit useless. BF1 and BFV definitely let this happen too easily, especially with vehicles. It's a tough balance but I think they swung a little to far in the other direction. I'd go for something more like:

I went back and tried Battlefield V and Battlefield 1. Every feature from previous games has been downgraded in Battlefield 2042. Every new feature in 2042 just makes the game more fast paced and less team oriented. This whole game is just a straight downgrade for me. Cancelled my pre-order.
