Bruc posted:Tip for c5 droning, you don't have to actually manually detonate it on vehicles. If you fly in at max speed at a downward angle and smack the tank the drone will explode and detonate the c5 9n it's own. This is amazing. Thank you.

AA is pretty janky and hopefully polished at some point. Once someone fires flares, there's an awkward period of time where no flares are present but you still can't lock on. If you keep your AA pointed at the chopper during that period it will immediately be locked on when that period of time ends. Same with the anti-vehicle nades.

Iceache posted:Don't rush it. Although I'm having fun the game currently has too many issues that are quite frustrating. Gunplay being one of them, the only good automatic weapon is the PP. If you're not using it you're at a disadvantage. In a similar boat, though the fun is definitely more sporadic but it's definitely not a game I can confidently recommend to any of my friends

Anybody know what is the key bind for descend in the drone? I had this issue in the beta and never bothered looking into it. It just shows as <unassigned> in the onscreen tip, while ascend is space. I tried looking in the vehicle key binds but nothing seemed clear to me. Also, the EMP part of the drone just does not work at all for me. I'm pretty sure it worked just fine in the beta.

To EMP you have to be in range, hold right click to lock then left click to fire.

Why's there so little poo poo in this game? There's a super small number of guns and a really small number of vehicles. They even don't have more than 2 countries anymore.

goofed around with settings and got myself to a nice steady ~40fps at 1440p, which is about the point at which games feel good and I can't blame losing engagements to low fps. that's on a gtx 1060 and a ryzen 5 3600 6-core, so I'm really glad I didn't have to upgrade anything quite yet. having a lot of fun but still learning the maps. I think I'll feel better about my performance once I learn which areas to stick to as infantry vs where I gotta be rolling in armor to make a difference. edit: oh hey question, does anyone know if there's a way to make the fire select indicator show up all the time or in a way other than ADSing? I switch modes a lot depending on engagement range and it kills me not being able to see at a glance Pharmaskittle fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Nov 17, 2021 |

It seems to me like this game got hosed super hard by covid and they needed another six months to flesh it out. A lot of stuff, like the UI for instance, seems half baked. When it all works, it works fuckin great tho.

Rusty posted:As far as vehicle variety, pretty sure this has more than other Battlefields. Also not sure if any Battlefield game has ever launched with more than two factions. The guns are an issue right now since really only 3 are viable, the SMGs, DMRs and snipers though the auto shotty seems cool. I want my telescopic BAR back!  I will say one thing I want to praise  on is giving breakthrough and the game a good element of world building and (kind of story) and also when troops arrive and the mission objectives beyond just take A. I'd legit read a book of the lore for the game (like the stuff on the images) and I think it's help what sets Breakthrough, like Operations before it, into what I call narrative MP. Like I dunno, but having that instead of only TDM, is just far more enjoyable to me. It's like having a reason to go from A to B really helps a lot and unlike Conquest (which is still really fun) it's forward progression vs all over the place. I kind of want to know more about this world. Also because I'm sure some of the bullshit that helps set things up might make Infinity Ward look like master writers, not that I'd care mind you as I do love trash.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Why the gently caress would they decide to give snipers bonus XP lol. This has been a thing since at least BF3. The extra XP is only for headshot kills afaik. So whatever the distance of the shot is in meters, you'll get that much more XP for the kill.

The story here, whatever it is, feels kind of icky to me - the US and Russia fighting over fossil fuels in various other countries which have been ravaged by climate change and reduced to mere set dressing is a bit worse than the usual chauvinism of this series, especially the bits about ongoing famine. I guess it’s some kind of separate timeline though I much prefer my interpretation that these are ageless clones fighting an eternal battle and that’s why they’ve lost access to thermal vision and most guns that existed in previous iterations

BF1 never felt like a WW1 game to be honest. HLL is really good. It's a great balance between Squad/RO style slow-paced gameplay and BF arcadey stuff. Really excellent, satisfying gunplay too. Anyway, be careful where you call in tanks:
