Initial impressions after two rounds of AOW on Manifest and the Arctic map. Runs pretty well on a GTX 2080. Better than the beta. UI and IFF is much better. No issues seeing who is an enemy. Maps are huge and it will take the community time to getting used to not just zooming around from flag to flag and actually choosing a location to fight over. Lots of revives and ammo going out but they need to add back the nearby medic list from 5 when you're downed. Lots of people still hammering on the redeploy button even when medic is 2 feet away about to res them.

Also, since they disabled prone for the BC2 portal they should disable ADS for 1942 Conquest

Played a couple rounds on PC -- really enjoying it. Some UI tweaks still needed, and it's chaotic -- but fun. And this is why I like playing opening day -- chat is active and very positive. Everyone just enjoying the sights and sounds, comparing rigs and performance. Shame there is no all talk, seems team chat only. I left it on the auto settings which stuck it on Ultra. With 5900X/3080, I'm getting 100-150 FPS @ 1440p. On the higher side on an open map. Probably will bump the settings down after I've finished being a tourist. Tons and tons of debris and flying things / weather effects. Had some feels listening to Omar narrating the opening cutscenes. RIP bruva.

It was a hassle since the servers are getting hammered but I managed to host my own portal stuff testing out BF3 and BC2 against bots. It really is stupid how you can't just local host a single player session to do anything. It's always online all the time. This is why I'm pretty resigned to the fact that this is just a limited lease to play until they gently caress you over by shutting down the servers in an X amount of years. That said, performance was good on 5600X / 3080. It defaulted to ultra and Arica Harbor was hovering around 100fps 1440p never going under 90fps and some times well over 110fps. Hitching and stuttering when ADS for some reason. Game looks very pretty. Bots seem fine. They hover inbetween very stupid and very deadly so hard to tell from a normal experience. Except you don't have to worry about ping, lag or hackers (in the future, not now obviously) Land of contrasts, I'm having fun.

Performance report for the PC release on a i5-7500, 16GB DDR4 2133, GTX 1080 build: 70-80fps on a mix of medium and high settings, 1080p, drops to around 50-60 in extremely heavy fighting, otherwise fairly stable. Almost no stuttering unlike the beta, and in general feels extremely playable. The CPU and memory speed is a massive bottleneck, yet it seems like GPU utilisation is fairly moderate so this is definitely a CPU intensive game.

Had a weird bug where I spawned stuck in crouch and could not redeploy after I died I just stayed in the downed animation. Had to leave the server. Breakthrough on Discarded was fun. Attackers took 3 sectors. Super bad framerate around the little shanty town. The early parts of the map were a wide open poo poo show but the third or 4th sector was inside two ships and that was really cool. I like how varied the environments are in each map. If you want to farm XP on Casper just play breakthrough and spot on the drone. Could not figure out how to play solo against bots to test stuff. I "queued" for a solo game but after it loaded it still said waiting on players. Might be bugged or disabled.

So far this is unplayable for me as I seem to have a massive issue with mouse lag. Turning in the game is incredibly slow and out of sync with what i'm doing with my mouse. Never had this issue before in any game. EDIT: Sorted it by killing off Corsair ICUE... Communist Bear fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Nov 12, 2021 |

Runs pretty well on my end so far but I swear the TAA is going crazy and it feels like finer details are blurry, making it simultaneously clear and fuzzy. Hard to describe but it's like there needs to be a sharpening filter.

128 player breakthrough is just too many people. 32/64 player Rush was the peak for Battlefield. This is mental and not necessarily in a good way, more like WoW's old Tarren Mill fights than anything else. Hacker guy seems useless, I hacked a tank and ?? Visuals are fine, UI is better. A dude I hit in the head twice with the AR should die, but no.

I really do not like the default AR, it just felt like I was tickling people with it. It just felt awful to use.

So angelo or whatever his name is is probably the best medic but he's also hideously annoying to use. You don't start out with armor and you kind of need to just sit on the pouch for half a second at the beginning of each spawn.

Haven't been able to play a real match yet since I keep getting kicked back to the menu with failure to load persistence data, but the bot match ran about a thousand times better than the beta did.

DrBox posted:breakthrough which is basically Rush on the newer games just with points instead of MComs. That's uhhh, some surface level over simplification ignoring key mode rules and settings that make it play completely different. It's like saying Breakthrough is like Conquest but just sectioned off.

I don't think I like this game very much  It runs much better than the beta did, that's for sure. I played a few rounds of all-out war and it felt like too many people or not enough people depending on where I was on the map. The specialists are weird but probably fine, though I laughed at the apex-rear end postgame screen where everyone gets a cool quip in. I could see myself playing the bad company 2 portal stuff more than the base game. The game seems fine but it's not really blowing me away enough to want to buy it right now and as a big fan of the series it's kind of a bummer.

My only experience with multiplayer games as launch for the last few years has been nba2k, so I was real surprised that I was just able to get in immediately and not drop or have server problems for the ~3 hours last night. Looks/runs great on PS5, no complaints!

Maybe this is just the “Battlefield experience” but it feels like 99% of my time is just getting domed by people with sniper rifles that I can’t see with basically no recourse. Like is there a reason to use another gun because the sniper seems like it’s basically a rail gun.
