I'm not sure if my GeForce experience stat display is to be believed but it was showing both my CPU and GPU utilization at ~60% at 60-80 fps with a 2080 and AMD2600x with everything on low so it seems like there is room for improvement.

The part disabled thing is extra frustrating because whenever I see that, the thing I shot usually carries on like nothing happened

Maybe my rockets are breaking lots of tail lights???

I think it means that, on their end, some part on the vehicle is showing as red on the display. But what does that do? Who knows. When the propellers of a helicopter are showing as red, you'd think you'd start falling out of the sky - but you don't!

similarly it feels like a rocket to the fan assembly on a hovercraft would lead to some damage, but alas

Yeah it doesn’t disable anything I’ve spent like 40% of my 16 hours so far in tanks and a single hit doesn’t impact the tank’s function in any way. Only thing that does is hacking and stupid C5 drones

Also, lol at the baby brained future stuff in this. “C4 not futuristic enough, gently caress it it’s C5 now” which is extra funny given that literally everything seems to be lower tech than BF4

I think it depends. I've definitely been hit with rockets in tanks and sometimes my turret traversal noticeably gets janky or my ability to reverse.

Yeah I've never been slowed down when a prop goes red. Sometimes if my heli is on fire, it's tough to get it balanced again, but its usually like 2 seconds of inconvenience before I slam the throttle up and lift out of range of whatever shot me.

The only times I've lost a heli are not coming out of a dive fast enough and hitting a building, landing awkwardly and rolling over, or getting shot by 2-3 rockets rapidly.

And even battlefield four was pretty good with that. But goddamn the nearby medic from battlefield one absolutely needs to return. Honestly they should have someone going back and looking at what was popular and helpful to re-implement them.

Also I love the stupid game so much I’m buying the gold edition so I can just keep playing it. I think this makes me an idiot.

Edit: Not enough to pay full price though. The Grey market prices are really nice.

Has anyone ever gotten a successful takedown in MP? I did it on a bot once, but this game is so finicky. I can stand right behind someone, still, and if they budge even a millimeter the animation doesn't go through and I'm sitting there like an idiot with my knife out getting shot in the face.

I was hoping this was like MW/Cold War, when you hold the button in range and you sort of 'catch them' and do the kill.

Not sure if this thread was where I saw this but if you do solo breakthrough against the easiest bots kills count towards unlocks. I am just doing breakthrough hourglass and leveling up the choppers super fast getting 60+ kills a game.

Wait till you have the takedown animation completely play through only for the guy to not actually be dead and then kill you :buddy:

Ok WTF. The first game I did this I unlocked things on both helicopters and all my kills counted. Now it is not counting any kills towards unlocks on the next two games. I wonder if it is a bug or if there is some mechanic that you can only do it once per vehicle or something?

Normally I'd rather get the unlocks through playing, but I had a really excellent Super Hokum game yesterday where I crashed out with 22 enemy tickets remaining, so I'll go for a round or three of this in revenge!

I did it last night in solo conquest and the first <10 kills counted but then it stopped. I don’t think the restriction they put in place is working properly.

I actually enjoyed playing solo against bots… I had way more kills than AOW but my K:D wasn’t that much different than what I’d typically get in a BF5 match.

There are like no portal servers with good ping. Im in Europe... Zero servers doing what I want (BF2042 maps but with just slightly less players). It sucks

90% of the servers show like 180 Ping for me as well in the states. Even if I host a new portal server it’s still that high.

I normally start the animation, it bugs out, then the guy spins around and noscopes me in the face. Lots of failed attempts landing behind someone with the wingsuit then trying it. I was just wanting to look cool :(

They want you to think magically ejecting out of your jet, RPGing an enemy aircraft then magically returning to the cockpit is a "BF moment". But I assure you, this is the epitome, the zenith, the very definition of a battlefield moment.

How do bot kills work for unlocks? I've heard kills on them don't count toward unlocks but people in this thread have mentioned farming bots for vehicle unlocks, do they just not count toward infantry weapon attachments or something? I haven't really messed with the solo stuff beyond my first game.

I did solo against bots and didn't get any progress towards unlocks. I was under the impression that you got XP from solo/co-op, but not weapon attachment/vehicle unlocks?

It's weird as gently caress to me that people think being able to make clips of uncommon bugs like this somehow makes the game's launch comparable to BF4, which literally crashed multiple times per session for almost everyone.

This is unironically the least buggy BF launch I've played since BF2. :dice: exists for a reason.

There are a few attachment unlocks that bots count for, usually a couple sights at 5 kills and 20 kills. But all of the mastery unlocks beyond that require actual player kills.

for the first day, I was able to grind out all the apache helo unlocks in like 2 rounds on breakthrough solo with AI. Now when I try I get no progress for anything. I think they turned off solo unlocks when they turned off progression for portal

really hope they undo that and the portal progression halt. These attachment unlocks are a huge slog and it sucks that they are kneecapping Portal when it could very easily be the main mode for 2042.

I just want to have a goon stack Portal server that runs default 2042 settings. The server will persist between rounds unlike now with AOW and we could have multiple goon squads in the server at once instead of only 4 goons at a time

as per usual, Dice is their own worst enemy

For vehicle unlocks, a majority of them are straight upgrades and not trade-offs like in previous titles.
