mexi posted:It was probably the recon drone. I don’t remember it having an lmg but it seems to be pretty resilient and is very annoying. One kept killing me with the lmg and it seemed impossible to put it down Nah it was BC2, no such option available, unfortunately Anyway I can’t stop thinking about how bad this sound design is compared to BF1. The way a soldier dies in BF1 compared to what sounds like a first rehearsal delivery of “I do not need any assistance!!” over and over is just night and day for basic immersion. I hate the specialist voice acting and I wish I could just turn it off entirely, if I could I’d probably refund the game because of that alone, arrrgghh

Am I missing something or is there no IR/Thermal vision in the game? I checked all the scopes and options for vehicles and I'm not seeing it. Really liking the 2nd DMR, it has that nice mix of range, accuracy and power, but with the small magazine, it doesn't feel OP.

Nope lol and I keep wondering how it is that the tanks in BC2 had such options and it has apparently been lost by 2042. Some kind of ancient lost technology, I guess, just like accurate assault rifles

Because only one of your beloved specialists get 3D pings friend, and it's the one that has to sit still piloting a drone around.

Did they confirm aim assist just isnt working on console? It's a huge drag. We're already at such a disadvantage against PC players, but right now it's downright impossible to compete.

Not only is there no leave game as a party option but there’s no feedback whatsoever that somebody is in your party without looking at your social screen? You think they would have the other players shown on the waiting screen or at least show their card. Also It’s really weird that you can be in a party and leave the game but still remain in the party but I haven’t seen what happens if the party leader tries to join a game while others are still in the last one. It’s a minor issue but it’s also like game design 101.

I wish cross-play allowed you to choose to just not play with PC players but play across all consoles. Why wouldn't it work that way? That's the only reason I can think of that anyone would want to disable it - avoiding PC players

Yeah this and not being able to join on friends mid game is really annoying. The party system is half baked right now. I hit join, it puts me in queue, starts to load, then bam back at the menu and my friend is still playing away. The rest of your party should be on the top right where it says "edit playercard" when you're on the main conquest menu.

jisforjosh posted:Anybody else run into the bug where a friendly teammate renders as an enemy? No name overlay when aiming at them either. Didn't have them render as an enemy fully: for instance they didn't have the red chem lights on them, but a teammate wasn't showing as friendly at all (no green or blue dot). Like 10 teammates were shooting at him at once over and over as he ran past because the IFF was not working until he respawned.

The UI is so amazingly broken it's hilarious. Buttons don't work, or skip, or don't do anything, or don't have any reason to exist in the first place. I know  don't employ QA but even a basic level check of their menus would have spotted this nonsense.

I was getting suddenly much worse performance. This was after downgrading drivers. The game had enabled ray tracing. Disabling gave me back 30-40 FPS. Something to look out for.

kri kri posted:You have to realize this is an old build Its perhaps 2-4 weeks old due to needing to print the console discs. But that's not really an excuse. If EA want to do these weird 'early' releases they need to make sure the game is ready to launch on that day, not a week later. (that's giving them the benefit of the doubt that the day1 patch will fix all these issues)

I paid extra to play the beta early, and I'm under no illusion that I didn't pay extra to play this "second beta". I'm holding out for a "day 1" patch, but I think the curse of having crossplay is going to make patch timing much worse due to the long console certification times.

Got my first DirectX crash The first SMG is excellent up close but it's not fantastic at mid-range, which makes sense to me and doesn't seem like it got its stats swapped with ARs Still not seeing what people are talking about with 128-player conquest being too confusing and chaotic. I'm having fun working with my team to catch and hold points, and everybody's focused on them instead of being randomly distributed around the map or something. It's not hard to get transportation and find flanking routes. A lot of the complaints around that seem like new guy poo poo with people complaining that they get killed too often and don't know where to go just because they don't know the maps or aren't following their objectives. Portal was a fun diversion but it has no staying power with me. I don't want to play BF3 and BC2 on a couple maps with a layer of jank.

After playing it for about 12 hours I can say that I am having a lot of fun, but there's too many annoyances for this to be really acceptable. Just a bunch of bad design decisions. I also realized what I've been missing: Infantry maps. It's ridiculous that there's no infantry maps to get some nice flow going, the conquest mode is fun but too messy with all the vehicles. The good thing is that the basic framework is excellent, I love the setting, the return of helis and other traversal options is fun, and with some work this will propably turn into a great game. e: also the SVK is a great gun and Falk is my goto currently, reviving other people plus being able to heal yourself together with the free weapon choices is great. I honestly don't miss classes, the improved flexibility is way more fun to me. Son of Rodney fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Nov 14, 2021 |

Been trying for an hour and a half to fix this bizarre bug where the mouse, only in game unpaused, has crazy input lag. Supposedly this is due to some kind of cross contamination when you have a controller plugged in but unplugging it doesn't solve anything and it's just such a crazy bug to have gone unnoticed/unfixed. That said, seeing 64 people on one team charging towards an objective was genuinely breathtaking. I hope they can stay on top of patching.

Son of Rodney posted:
Even though my last few posts have been critical, I agree. There’s a good game here hidden under what I feel is a pretty thin layer of poo poo but it’s also amazing that some of this actually made it to a launch build. Thankfully I don’t think anything is fundamentally wrong with the core game and most of my issues should be relatively easy to fix for a competent developer (insert joke here).
