The spawn on any squad member feature makes back capping really effective but not fun to do or play against. I started sort of enjoying bfv after switching to breakthrough. And operations in 1 is great except its only on official servers so there's ALWAYS a Chinese hacker. Too bad Operations in V has way too much forced intro stuff that you can't even alt tab during (plus no one plays it). I've always wanted a ut2k4 / enemy territory style attack defend mode with varied objectives in battlefield. Some day..

Julius CSAR posted:During the 1942 days my brother and I got picked up as dedicated air support pilots for an actual 32 player team that did comp matches against other full 32 player teams. It was great because everyone had an assigned role that they were actually good at, each artillery had a dedicated scout using binoculars to call fire, the tank dudes operated in formation, and when an air support call came down we were right on the money. We got picked up because we were on their server one day and my brother and I (using a joystick, because why wouldn’t we!?) were flying down the runway on El Alamein upside down while machine gunning all their planes before they could take off. The 32 man squad was a bit tough to control at the times but a couple of the dudes were “officers” whose sole job was to keep things running smoothly. And since we were solely concerned with the team winning, individual scores didn’t matter to us. Maybe the most fun I had with BF before I found my BF1 crew. Nothing will ever be as good as 1942 was IMO. I've loved many different BFs over the years, but 1942 was special for me. For one, I had always wanted a FPS with vehicles in the style that BF is and so it was like somebody listened to exactly what I wanted and made it. I also had just moved into the dorms when it came out and had gone from 28.8k dialup to a 5mb connection which was blazing back then so my ping destroyed others. I play every BF because I want to capture that magic again, and while some of them have had their moments and most have been very enjoyable I will always remember 1942 fondly. DrBox posted:Looking at the 2042 site, the last two official updates were on the 7th and 14th so we should see an update tomorrow about beta feedback and what they'll be fixing for release. Hope it's detailed! The devs have already put out a lot of info on fixes on twitter and reddit. Somebody posted (and I think I reposted) a jackfrags video a few pages back that gathered all that stuff together and went over everything they had indicated. It covered just about every complaint I've seen except specialists and the outcry has (rightfully) been bad enough about them that I expect they will at least make some changes if they don't remove the system all together. I have high hopes for this one.

That was me who posted the Jackfrags video. Yeah they have shared a lot of details but I want to see screenshots of UI improvements and examples of IFF specifically. That along with the other announced changes will solve most of my issues with the game. BF1942 and BF3 both have a special place in my heart mostly due to where I was in life at the time. I have really good memories of 1942 with a roomate and BF3 on voice with friends.

Apparently NDAs are being sent out to streamers for another play session that will include all three modes. Will it be this weekend? I hope so! It will be cool to get some idea of how Hazard Zone plays and see Portal in action. The last session was only three hours though. That's a lot of stuff to try out.

It will probably be only 1 mode. My guess is Hazard zone. Less vehicles less jank to show.

The grappling hook should be able to grab the turkey dinners (which should also exist) when they’re out of reach and bring them to you for health.

Mackay was fun but the grapple could use a longer cooldown maybe. There wasn't even a ton of verticality on orbital and there was a lot of fun uses for him. Even still, I used Boris the most. That turret spotting people was pretty awesome.

I'm looking forward to 2042, there were some bugs in the beta (oh well, like every game in existence these days), the map was fun, and I enjoyed all of the gunplay, storms, vehicles, and specialists that were available. The negativity in this thread is absolutely insane, it's like 5 people that apparently don't like games very much at all just spam posting about how this is already the worst game in the series somehow, how they ruined the franchise, etc. I don't really understand why you post so much about a game you seem to hate based on a pretty fun demo.

I still have a preorder and that's not going anywhere. Beta was fun I just tend to not engage in hopeful theory crafting what will or will not be better. I'll take what I get, the settings is miles ahead of any "historical world war" in appeal for me. And I guess people with negative impressions are always more vocal in all areas. Not much to say if your impression was positive outside of "I had fun".

Definitely got a few hits with it during the beta where it just damaged the guy and they turned around and shot me to death before I could weapon swap.

Look new stuff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFvZSwHq3nQ Jackfrags video here with extra footage after the specialist reveal part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ocU5tjGV7k Initial thoughts: Wing suit looks sweet and I really like her grenades. Wallhack lady might give Mackay a run for most useful. I love when they time the shooting to the soundtrack beat. Grenade showing on UI now.

They were shown as specialists in the reveal trailer, we just didn't know their names yet. Also apparently there will be lots of character customization so you'll probably be able to wear that helmet.

EDIT: Beaten The rest of the launch Specialists have been revealed. https://twitter.com/Battlefield/status/1451203258790211592 Rao: Recon, can hack stuff. Kill hacked stuff to auto-spot enemies near them. Dozer: Assault, resistant to explosive damage, has a ballistic shield Sundance: Assault, can switch between grenade types, WINGSUIT Paik: Recon, auto-spots enemies that damage you, has a drat wallhack Angel: Support, fast-revive that restores armor, can airdrop a crate that lets you change weapon loadout and refresh your ammo/armor

DrBox posted:Look new stuff! Oh my god, anti-air hand grenades  But basically all of these seem outright way more useful than the beta specialists except for grapple hook guy. The on-demand supply drop seems ludicrously useful, the wall hack is a wall hack, and even just the relatively boring shield makes you borderline invincible for a bit. Only the hacker guy seems a bit eh, though I guess that depends on how many interactables will actually be in most map. Perestroika fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Oct 21, 2021 |

The Jackfrags video linked above has some extra footage after going over the specialist trailer. Lots of good UI stuff in there. Everything is a lot more readable. The objective points are clear, kill feed is better. Kill log in the middle under the crosshair has xp added. People need that numbers going up feeling apparently. Compass on all the time too thank god.

The compass has never really been used in BF games. It was a cool idea but in practice it's unnecessary. Maybe tank crews might start using it but i've never had it happen before.

Blog post about beta feedback here: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-briefing-what-we-learned-from-open-beta The visibility issues are talked about in depth. Interestingly they'll have some of the changes for early release and the rest done by worldwide launch. Dice posted:We use the term IFF to describe the approaches we take to ensure that you can always, and easily identify between friend and foe. IFF is being improved. In our current builds, we’ve adjusted the behaviour of the systems we use to improve the experience. Philman posted:The compass has never really been used in BF games. It was a cool idea but in practice it's unnecessary. Maybe tank crews might start using it but i've never had it happen before. You don't play with people and want to call out where an enemy is? It was a big limitation as we were running around in the beta with spotting also being broken. In BF4 it had N marked on the mini map so it was easy to call it out.
