First impressions: Might be the first battlefield game I don't buy on launch. Graphically it's real nice but man do I hate this operator system. Everyone looks the loving same what the hell were they thinking? That and basically eliminating the class system is a real downer. Snipers can carry RPGs, everyone gets sensor balls, etc... In all the other battlefields I could look at an enemy and at a glance get a rough idea what their capabilities are, now that wookie could be a medic or disable my tank. While it's a visual and audio treat the gameplay just feels like mush.

Hot Diggity! posted:Genuinely wondering how they're similar because ground war was a cramped shitshow no matter the map and ends up being killstreak spam. there are better things about BF, but the animations/gunplay, zerg rush, etc all the same. Its better with friends but feels a lot like COD, just slide around and shoot, get a million kills

Started my first session at 6:15 this morning, gun would not stop firing. Switch to grenade, immediately prime it. Switch back, continue firing, reload, continue firing. Hit esc, quit. Started session #2 ten minutes ago. Same deal. Delete left mouse from fire binding. Shooting stops. Attempt to re-add left mouse, can't do it because it's simply not recognized as a bindable input. It works everywhere else but the keybinds, where it may as well not exist, and in-game if I reset to default (which I did), where it may as well be taped down. No controllers are plugged in, and everything else works fine outside the context of this game. Quit, uninstalled. Look, I get the point of a beta is to catch and fix bugs but when you go to open beta those bugs are meant to be esoteric. This is the dumbest thing I've ever encountered and I've played the other BF games and suffered through the most recent COD seasons, so I've seen some very stupid mistakes on an abstract level. It almost takes talent to gently caress this up so badly. George RR Fartin fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Oct 9, 2021 |

Battlefield Betas are actually Alphas BUT pre-order bonus Betas are also demos so I don't blame anyone for being put off by what is effectively a demo. Also, did you know BF3 has modding?

You have to go into the keybinds and clear any controller settings that are in the controller column.

I'm enjoying the game but I do agree with most of the common complaints such as the specialist system being significantly worse than the classic BF class system. The core gameplay feels like a step down from BFV which is unfortunate. The character movement feels worse & generally floatier and there are various features from BFV that were removed such as the crouch run. I wish they kept some of the "new" gameplay features from BFV, smaller things like anyone being able to revive squadmates, the lower starting ammo system which meant you were more reliant on support players, the bandage healing system, the fortification system. These things fostered teamwork and almost forced randoms to at least somewhat work together and at least right now in BF2042 it seems like everyone is just running around on their own sliding with their M4s, grapples, and rocket launchers and doing their own thing.

I liked BF1 from a gameplay perspective since I got into it late but I didn't enjoy it because it hardly had any vehicle focus, which is my jam.

CPU is going to be what fucks you in modern games like this, not so much GPU, and that won't hold a steady 60fps. I have an old i7-6700K and put the game to 1080p low settings to try it out after reading this and still had drops to below 60fps with a 2080. Mr Luxury Yacht posted:First impressions: Might be the first battlefield game I don't buy on launch. Modern big budget media, including video games, being largely mediocre mush is due to design by focus group and risk aversion on the part of investors. EA and other big developers are constantly trying to find ways to bring as many new people as possible to their products, and so you get things like BF2042 playing like CoD on a Battlefield map with new hero shooter style bullshit via the specialists in the hopes of attracting the CoD and Apex/Fortnite/whatever crowds. It doesn't matter if old school Battlefield fans like the changes because most of them will just begrudgingly stick around anyway and get used to the poo poo. and maybe that's all entirely wrong in this scenario and BF2042 is what it is simply because of brain drain and hiring lovely new talent who sincerely believe in their vision idk either way in a few years BF2042 will be technically fixed up into great shape and everyone will be bitching about the new in-game hero skill tree progression system and AI creep exp grinding introduced for BF2043

i preordered this here game and the first night was really fun, and then some of the shinyness wore off and I found myself having significantly less fun tonight and last night. this has probably all been said a million times in the thread already.. but the following seem egregiously bad to me: - lack of a map? - no cardinal directions on the map? I guess you can turn off rotation - the new ping behavior. i guess you ping to get your turrets and robot dogs to shoot at stuff? i really don't understand it and it is rather frustrating to use - the new sector thing with letter designations and numeric sub-designations? I don't get it. Why not just alpha, beta, .. like every other game in the series? - no way to change attachments before deploying? - lack of a scoreboard? deaths aren't tracked anymore? I hope i'm just not hitting the right buttons or something  i found it really difficult to coordinate with my squadmates in general, the teamplay aspects seem way toned down compared to previous iterations of the series. i also really don't understand how to shoot down helos. for example, we had 3 guys in a squad with AA, established locks, waited for helos to drop flares, and then fired after re-acquiring lock. every single missile simply missed or was dodged. how in the gently caress? is it buggyness in hit detection or did they tone down AA capability in this iteration? they were giving me flashbacks to circle strafing helos in the original Vietnam  i'd kinda love to cancel my preorder at this point but i think i'm stuck thanks to buying it on Greenman.  edit: reading backscroll i see that some of my complaining is just bugs

Not sure where the praise for the visuals really comes from. It's got no art design to speak of, which makes the whole specialists thing ironic when they all look incredibly generic, and fidelity-wise it's...fine. About BF4 level in most cases? I don't think it looks as sharp as BF1, especially in terms of player models and animations, but even the way the landscape is rendered looks fuzzier. What it does have (for better or worse) is scale though, looking down from a tower makes you think "that's a big map!"

There's so many aircraft in this loving game. And the anti air missile locks so slow and each plane has so many flares that I've started just trying to snipe with the recoilless rifle because people just hover ten feet off the ground and shoot rockets in your face.

Seriously I can't understate how much the Operator system ruins the flow of the game visually. Just had a situation where I died because me and another Mackay were defending a point. I turn around a corner and see Mackay. I hesitate thinking it's the teammate, except it's not my teammate it's an enemy Mackay and he shoots me in the face. Two more Mackays run over my corpse while I wait for a revive. I know there's HUD indicators on friendlies but it's woefully inadequate. Like compare that to BF1 where every class and faction had a distinct uniform and visual silhouette. It's maddening they went in this direction. Like the bugs, whatever. Helicopters teleporting around like loving Goku, fine. All that can be fixed, but they really hosed it all up by ditching the class system for this crap and I doubt that's fixable.

Eh, I found them to be exactly like BF4s launchers. Hold the lock long enough and the pilot will get nervous and pop flares, re-lock as soon as you can and fire away. Don't go for the scout helis, you'll never hit them if the pilot is awake.

i was wondering if i was just crazy/blinded by nostalgia so i installed BFV today and on balance it actually does look a lot better than BF2042; the new game is obviously built on newer tech and has higher visual fidelity in most cases, but they did a worse job of implementation, at least in this demo build as others keep saying tho all the technical problems with BF2042 will be smoothed out just in time for us all to get mad at the broken shitpile sequel, this is the circle of battlefield life

Game sucks. Super floaty. Visually ugly, totally unimpressive. Stupid rear end operator system. Still absolutely 100% dominated by air power. People think you're firing AA missiles but they're really just requests for the choppers to give you a cool pyrotechnic flare lightshow while they continue to blow your poo poo up.
