this seems really good so far. lot of improvements over beta. the helicopter has a weird deadzone in the aiming though, which def was not in the beta. also the crosshair is way off on some or maybe all tanks in zoom mode. bf portal is insanely fun though, it just needs more maps

I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt tanks just seemed a bit off. The aim is a bit…floaty? I really can’t explain it.

Watched a few rounds of Hazard Zone. It actually looks pretty cool, I think they just need to flesh out the currency system or give it some more persistent reward track but I kind of like how lethal it is. Same TTK as the regular game. Hopefully they play with it more and don't just drop it like Firestorm.

You can earn an ungodly amount of XP from spotting with the drone Casper has on Breakthrough. I think I got over 1000 spotting assists during a match that bugged out and wouldn’t end, so I already unlocked his top tier skin with the night vision goggles.

Curiously, the game wants to preload into the 32 bit applications folder. It also wants to install MSVC 2015 libraries. Bethesda is currently in the process of updating their games (even Fallout 3) to be recompiled with MSVC2017+ to support some new Windows stuff, so it's weird to see the older version here.

Mods on SP games are cool af, but weird directory/registry poo poo liek this I don't miss at all. I appreciate the generally stable and uniform experience of consoles. BF4 and Cyberpunk 2077 notwithstanding. As an aside, how's the stability?

Stodeh says he's not really feeling Hazard Zone, but this ending was cool and the elation was palpable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRzkB0hayig I think with a little polish, it could be a fun mode. I'd rather they added more squads and toned down the AI numbers. And they need to make it more obvious when it is AI. EDIT: Exactly on the hour, my computer fans ramped up -- Steam is unpacking the game now. Let's go! LampkinsMateSteve fucked around with this message at 09:01 on Nov 12, 2021 |

Ok, one thing that either didn't end up working out, or maybe they meant breakthrough which is basically Rush on the newer games just with points instead of MComs. Truly a trail of broken promises. Anyway, it's PC play time! I just woke up from a 2 hour power nap! Let's do this!

It is pretty funny how quickly the thread went from "This is the worst battlefield in existence" to "Whee, let's play!" Reminds me of the COD boycott in a way.

There was only a few people really digging their heels in with unreasonable takes. Now we get to play and see how it all turned out! Just played the little tutorial match. BF really needs to stop throwing you right into the game without letting you go through the menus first! They did this in BF1 (and maybe 5?) as well. Obnoxious!

Played for most of the evening and overall I like it. it's pretty fun...Feels way better than the beta and I immediately like it better than BF1 or 5. I'm intrigued enough that I'll be buying it. I even liked what I played of hazard zone despite the bad reception it's had. But I also spent about half the time playing BC2 and BF3 in portal and it feels so glaring that those games are just way more fun than 2042. It almost just makes it worse that you can compare them side by side now lol. It's not even just that the maps are better it's the gap between how effective everything is. Since Bf1 and especially BF5 everything feels so loving anemic. It's like they tried to balance poo poo until it wasn't fun anymore and that very noticeably carries over into 2042. I'd be playing conquest in 2042 and laying into tanks with my anti tank launcher just to run dry and feel like I did gently caress all to the tank, getting in tanks and missing infantry by 1 inch and them running off unscathed, running a loving mile before seeing any action just to get plinked by some sniper a mile away, pixel hunting enemies and frequently failing to actually kill them... Then I pop into BC2 or BF3 and I'm blowing tanks up all over the place, getting plenty of kills, getting into tanks and wrecking poo poo with them. there's action everywhere I don't have to run a mile to get to it. It's just more fun. I feel like I am playing a fun game vs everything post BF4 where I just feel like a cog in a machine. I do give them props for at least trying though. 2042 is a slight step in the right direction and it seemed like they understood what to do with the series on paper but they really need to burn everything post BF4 to the ground and go back to how it used to be imo. Battlefield just needs to be a fun sandbox that makes everyone feel badass. It doesn't need to be viable for MLG and it doesn't always need to be bigger bigger bigger. Just make sure it's fun I don't give a gently caress if there is 128 players when the best entry in the series was a 32 player game. Probably sounds like a back handed compliment to 2042, but I do actually think it's decent and I want to play it more. I just don't think it captures the magic though, at least from the few hours I have played. it just drives me nuts that Dice doesn't seem to get that the best way to keep their series fun is to stop loving with it so much.

How spotting using drones currently works will probably get nerfed. You can re-spot someone seemingly seconds after originally spotting them so you can circle a crowded point and rake in dozens and dozens of +5xp per spot and +50 kill assists. This is the 64 player version, if that has anything to do with it. edit: As for impressions after 7 hours, the performance is significantly better than the beta. The UI is fine now. Biggest issue for me is rubberbanding that seems to get worse the longer the match goes on, but it doesn’t happen every game. The small map and gun count are gonna be evident to most people pretty quick, but the gameplay is solid. Space Jam fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Nov 12, 2021 |
