I'm kind of getting sick of the hovercraft. They're only fun for the driver. If you're a gunner 95% of drivers just blitz everywhere at max speed. Your screen is just a blur of passing terrain. If you're fighting them they move too fast to hit with the Recoilless Rifle, so you need to:
Adding even minimal damage for ramming structures would go a long way to making it killable by anything other than skylords and MBTs.

I hate the lack of scoreboard. I don’t care if they don’t put K/Ds on blast but at least rank everyone by overall score and let me see my own stats.

Game is garbage. It has the bones of a good game but all the connective tissue and skin is dog poo poo We'll see about the day 1 patch but as it stands it's the weakest release in the franchise at least gameplay wise.

Can I see the player that is 104 and 1 that's hacking with the LMG on the other team and report them?

What were they thinking with the breakthrough capture point at the end of kaleidoscope at the top of a skyscraper? As far as I can tell it’s pretty much impossible for the attackers to win since people just camp the elevators. It’s so poorly thought out.

if you go on top of a cargo crate that is barely out of vault height and wingsuit off it you can glide for about ~140 m on completely flat ground you just hold forward as you wingsuit to get speed and then tilt back so you are slightly above a level angle with the ground you can get height by getting speed then holding back harder you can cut the wingsuit and redeploy it if you have enough height for shenanigans

Playing on PS4 so that might be a big factor but I do think this game looks substantially worse than BF1 and maybe even V. It's not ugly, but it definitely feels like there's not much texture to things and a lot of the environments feel pretty lifeless. BF1's desert maps feel like you're going through an actual desert full of crumbling Ottoman ruins and hastily abandoned camps, whereas, say, the Hourglass map here feels pretty incongruous for something that is supposed to be the ruins of a megacity post-climate apocalypse. Doesn't help that Spec Ops: The Line did basically the same exact setting but did a way better job of establishing atmosphere and making it feel like people actually lived there at some point. There's also some weird texture pop-ins sometimes - I had a match today where my gun's textures didn't fully load in for like 2 solid minutes.

When the devs are making a game like this they are not playing the same game. When they play they have an entire team playing the "correct" way and all coordinating to boot. No 10 wookies hanging back sniping, teammates always revive and throw ammo etc. Imagine that scenario but your whole team is coordinating so you can all assault via heli, VTOL, wings it, and elevators at the same time. That sounds loving rad as hell and probably what happens when they play among themselves. Playing with pubbies is a fundamentally different experience. You can tell a lot of design decisions were made because of this dynamic when you start looking.

i think a lot of the problems can be solved with functioning voip game is 10x funner w/ someone on voip things as simple as making sure someone has beacon or coordinating 2 people to spawn with AA missiles to ruin choppers makes a huge difference

some thoughts -hovercraft is increasingly hilarious, emerging as the meme vehicle. -drone c5 is too much fun, hopefully doesnt get nerfed -ROBOT DOG should be deployed often as possible, its the only natural enemy of the drone and will avenge your death - air vehicles are hard, then again im moving from KBM pilot of several years on BF4 PC to console (poor) -FFs give us scoreboard and COMMS, or at least some silly radio commands to spam. When crazy poo poo happens its fun to share the moment and none of my friends play this game. -Call in feature is great. everybody bitching about no jeep should use it. funny and sometimes OP to call a tank in to certain elevated positions. -lvl 25 and havent scratched the specialist surface im still stuck on drones -game can be bad but when its good its good. can only get better from here as a new battlefield game.

hey pc nerds if you wanna use rtss with 2042, create a profile for it and set application detection level to high. no need for stealth mode or custom d3d support. low or medium crashes the game for whatever reason. days old edit: or update to rtss 7.3.2. wolffenstein fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Nov 18, 2021 |

Some funny business going on with hit detection. A couple times I was right in front of someone and just shot them in the chest point blank with my shotgun, with zero result. Real bummer when that happens, got all excited thinking I was going to own some guys that I snuck up on, only for my shots to do nothing.thetan_guy42 posted:-ROBOT DOG should be deployed often as possible, its the only natural enemy of the drone and will avenge your death It's the only thing that ever manages to hit my drone. Other people try and for some reason can never succeed. Ynglaur posted:I'm kind of getting sick of the hovercraft. They're only fun for the driver. If you're a gunner 95% of drivers just blitz everywhere at max speed. Your screen is just a blur of passing terrain. It is immense fun if you have the grenade launcher and can communicate with the driver via voice chat. I imagine not being able to communicate makes it much worse, since you can't coordinate. The default gun is really bad if the hover craft is moving around. There's also a rocket launcher that I guess is meant for anti-air, but grenade launcher still seems much better.

I love the game now, I'm level 27 and got enough gear unlocked to play however I liked to play BF4. I wish I could record some clips but DX12 games always shut off Shadowplay on my system.thetan_guy42 posted:-ROBOT DOG should be deployed often as possible, its the only natural enemy of the drone and will avenge your death  Love that dog, great for when you're lone wolfing some far off base, especially with Mackay's grapple hook to sneak around. Turns a 1 vs 3 into a 2 vs 3, gives you cover so you can zip around like fuckin Batman.

BF is never that great alone, but I have been playing with pubs a decent amount just cause it's new and 2042 is like, next level awful alone to the point where I just feel like I loving hate the game. But the second I get someone I'm chatting with I'm like "nah this is pretty fun" and with a full squad it's tits. Maybe that feels dumb to say because it's like "duh" but I feel like 2042 is this special breed of awful without anyone to fall back on. I could always screw around in BF and have some degree of fun even if I was just messing around by myself, but outside of grabbing a tank and potshotting poo poo, or trying to run people over with a hovercraft, pubbie play is sheer misery. Especially as infantry. I have never wanted to always be in a vehicle so much. Not only is there someone watching every single angle imaginable at all times, but every bit of cover is made of paper and 70% of every map is just big open stretches. it's just this constant stream of dying out of nowhere and hoping to take someone with you. You can't even get around quickly unless you can snag a vehicle. where the gently caress are the ATVs and other garbage vehicles to just roll around in? They were prominently featured in the marketing and they aren't even in the game wtf. I think I have played enough now that I am just not going to bother unless someone else wants to play. It seems 100% essential to having fun in 2042

My guess is once XP is re-enabled in portal, people will just flock to the 64 player maps in there. Right now all the big maps seem to have 2-4 contested points and the rest almost never change hands. And they really need to make it so you can play in a group with more people than just you squad. That is the biggest bullshit ever. We can't even have 10 goons on discord play on the same server. Why play BF at all if that's not possible?

Games also need to either be entirely team focused like Hell Let Loose and squad or have the game be fun solo so the squads have people to shoot. 2042 isn't either of those things

Does the Apache's first rocket type lock on to ground vehicles? Thought it was blind fire, but then it will say it's locked on l. Haven't had a chance to see if future rockets track targets I've locked on to.Sedisp posted:There it's definitely something weird that will randomly make someone invincible to bullets. Encountered an amusing example of this today where my friend and I rolled into a building in the hovercraft and killed everyone except for one guy in the corner who was invincible. Repeatedly shot grenades into his face with zero effect. A player on foot was able to kill him, at least. Chronojam posted:Defenders can deploy a wildcat on top of the skyscrapers and kill an infinite number of aircraft Jeeps are basically piñatas like this for grenade-equipped hovercraft. They seem to explode with a short burst of 3-4 (or kill the occupants). Oddly, other hovercraft seem to take very little damage from the grenade launcher. I've shot like 20 into one without killing it (and it wasn't a bug, since it did start smoking). RPGs, on the other hand, completely wreck hovercraft. Maybe something about how the game deals with armor and armor penetration. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 11:30 on Nov 16, 2021 |
