The weird, cold, metallic squonks and dongs that are this game's soundtrack are really strange.

Don't ask me why, but I like it, but I also just watched Chernobyl.

Hazard is fun, but goddamn it takes too long to get into a game, and also there needs to be an option to just continue after a squad wipe, from the start with no changes to players or loadouts. I will say the first time I played, the whole team got into an elevator and when it open like 6 OP troops were set up as the door opened (some one knee down and others standing) and lit us the gently caress up, killing everyone. It was kind of dumb, but also cool and totally unexpected, that I couldn't be mad, it was one of the most cinematic things I'd ever had happen in an MP game with bots as the bad guys.

Is the scope glint from the sniper rifle no longer gigantic like it was in the beta?

It's still enormous. I missed it at first because I thought it was a bugged bloom effect.

The specialists thing is extremely dumb. None of the personality or whatever comes through in such a giant match. It's not Rainbow Six: Siege.

I'm not seeing the issues people have with AOW being too chaotic though. It's been pretty easy for me to find lines of battle and hang out for a while doing a flag push. It's actually pretty neat seeing this happen from the recon drone view.

is there no way to turn a tank turret while steering the tank? seems like it should be a simple task but I can't make it happen. the turret freezes in place as soon as I press on the A or D keys

Yes 3d-headphones is flat out broke at the moment. I'm sticking with stereo until it's fixed.


I'm curious how much will be in the day 1 patch, I assume its already been sent off as it needs to clear PlayStation/microsoft vetting.

IMO it honestly looks bad on ultra on a 3080. muddy is the right word. Its like its low detail mobile game or something... something is hosed with their tech because occasionally when it zooms into a death there is a crisp road texture and a high res puddle reflection which looks half ok but in motion it looks trash... modern warfare looks better to me.

I just really dont like 128 player mode. It's just random chaos if you're a solo player

Don't worry it's also random chaos if you're in a squad on comms, especially on Breakthrough. Cannot recommend 128 player mode at all. Playing some BC2 rush was a fun palate cleanser after that, though.

I think my favourite BF experiences have always been around that 32 player range, playing Rush, where individuals can really make a difference, a single tank is a big deal, and teamwork matters and feels like it matters. I will accept higher player counts if the maps can handle it (or with CTF, which is hilarious).

3D spotting is gone. There's ping system and certain specialists have abilities that will spot enemies for your team.

After hearing the sound track last month I thought maybe it would grow on me. It did not. It's so uncomfortable to listen to I had to turn it off. Sound in general seems off in this game. Most sounds effects individually are awesome like the tank shots, but it's hard to pick out where sounds are coming from and the ambient background noise is almost nothing unless there's a storm going on.

Shooting and movement feeling really good still. They tweaked the ARs so they have a bit more recoil there seems to be more of a use for the SMG and DMR where as before I didn't really see the point in the beta as much.

Sounds like it's your tech that's busted, not theirs. Looks great on my 3070.

The default settings put my resolution to 1280x720 instead of 2560x1440 so maybe you need to check on stuff like that.

Play with some filtering settings like TAA and try with DLSS on and off. Sounds like something isn't quite right.

This game is so weird. I think it looks fantastic and I really appreciate the scale, but I also feel like I play like absolute dogshit and it's frustrating.

I think the maps being so huge and it feeling like it takes forever to get to points/back into the action contributes to it for sure. Also a healthy dose of it feeling like TTK on me is extremely low, but I dump bullets into enemies and they just shrug it off.

After playing for a few hours last night and sleeping on it I think it will take a while to fully wrap my head around the new maps and the specialists overall seem fine but they could have gotten the same effect by unlocking weapons/gadges and adding things like the grapple and syrette pistol as new class gadgets.

I think my initial tweak if I were king of BF would be to have a "support gadget" slot with med and ammo bags (not boxes), torch, spotting scope, armor as the option. Then they could keep the main gadget slot as the impactful one between launchers, ammo crates etc.
You do still really lean on your team. All the one man army talk is bullshit. You run out of rockets really quick if you don't have someone with ammo crates then tanks and helis are still dominating. The slower infantry healing meant my friend playing Falk last night came in super useful. He carried the ammo crate and played a little more passive and I would take point and win or trade in a firefight and he would heal or res and we keep pushing. It was awesome.

It's ridiculous how much better Battlefield Portal is compared to 2042. Like I get the feeling that this was a far different game when it was pitched.


Like maybe the original pitch is "How about we make a game called "Battlefield:Portal", and all it is is we start with two games. Battlefield 1942 and something new to drum up sales. 1942 will be entirely remastered, shouldn't be too difficult since we can basically steal BFV's art assets and just remake the maps from 42 and pretty them up. We also make a pared down new Battlefield experience, we'll add some future gadgets and maybe make it like that apex or that tarkov game everyone loves. Then every four to five months we release booster packs remastering previous games just in a pared back manner for a cool 10 to 15$. Of course we'd have Bad Company and BF3, but we could also do more obscure titles like Codename Eagle or Battlefield Heroes for the nerds."


The pitch man then weeps as all the heads of EA/DICE start chattering about APEX and TARKOV.

The cross play is split up a bit: pc is with Xbox series x and ps5 and ps4 can only go with xbone. It's probably usually easier to party up on the same platform.

I wonder if we'll benefit from having a general discord (or whatever the subchannel is in marvelous elite pro gamers).

This is common. A fair few motherboard brands have dodgy as hell apps that hook into the kernel and do all sorts of stuff they really shouldn't. It's a security nightmare but also causes false flags for anti cheat stuff.
