I like the maps, but I think I have grown to be annoyed at renewal and somewhat annoyed at the snow and ice map. The rest are fine for me anyway, I kind of like the port map. If you run Paik and someone snipes you they get 3d spotted and killed pretty fast, so it takes care of campers in annoying locations.

I hated the maps at first. Then I got better and now I don't die instantly in 3 seconds all the time, which has made them a lot more enjoyable. But the last points on many maps in breakthrough are ridiculously stupid. There are multiple maps where the last points are located on scyscrapers only accessible through elevators. So you'll have 60 defenders camping the elevators for 400+ tickets until the attacking team loses. Oh, and the defending team can call in tanks on top of the roof as well. I have seen those maps won by the attackers only twice so far This can simply not have been playtested properly

Yeah the maps are garbage, I’ve played BF long enough that I mostly managed to avoid instakills on spawn by judicious lying down and I’d say I was first place in my squad 9/10 games I played, it’s just the flow is so baffling and poorly paced that it never feels like there are 128 people outside of the very beginning of the match. I never once saw a firefight with more than ten or fifteen people on both sides so it’s like, why even bother with these big numbers if the maps aren’t designed to facilitate them at all?

Does anyone here have the SOFLAM unlocked yet? If you can use it from heli at distance and have a bunch of rockets on the ground it might be an easy safe way to clear out the roof tanks but I'm only level 35 or so.

If nothing else, trying this on EA Play for a week encouraged me to reinstall BF1 on my Playstation. Movement and gunplay feel loads nicer, and the tone seems less... cute? about war. Sensible map flows. No problems finding matches, either. Hopefully things get good and patched up in a few months.

I’m legitimately sad at the people mentioning going back to previous Battlefields and not including 5, which is actually a great game (now) that has a few major flaws that’ll never be fixed because Dice completely abandoned it. I think that’s one of the things that disappoints me the most as a lot of the issues regarding bf2042 were working perfectly fine in the previous installments and why would you abandon all the improvements that have been made over time. I’ve been playing around with portal logic editor more than the actual game modes the past few weeks and while it’s a neat concept it needs a lot more tools and I really don’t see them putting much effort into supporting it. You can hack together game functions and I was working on a “push the payload” type mode but the level of guessing and workarounds I had to keep coming up with just got me to the point where I had to ask myself why I’m spending so much time on something that’ll never be played when I could be learning an actual programming language.

Defenestrategy posted:Yea, I can't off hand think of anything worth while and I've tried just about everything. Ironfront 44, Squad, Red Orchestra, Hell Let Loose, Post Scriptum, etc, etc. These games all have the same various problems, they look ugly and they play like absolute poo poo. So basically they're selling mods for ARMA. Except Red Orchestra which I will admit to being significantly different enough to justify its existence as a stand alone game, although it too plays like poo poo. I think Bad Company 2 was so fondly remembered because it was when DICE realized that whatever you're giving one player, you're giving to the other 30+ players. When you're giving one player a stack of launchable explosives with ridiculous kill power and the ability to sprint at 20mph to instantly quick-scoping someone, then you're giving everyone the ability to do that. Bad Company 2 has things like hefty gun recoil and deliberate movement, which means that players aren't running around playing the CoD meta on maps that aren't designed for the CoD meta. I think 2042 is the first BF game in a while that DICE has actually put some game design thought into, but the game itself just feels hollow in some way.

Honestly, I think BF2 was the apex of the franchise and everything has gone down hill since. Yea, the base game doesn't hold up, but the love, care, and attention to detail various mods put into their modifications made that game shine on for years after. Like they bent that engine over it's back and anything you've seen in Battlefield since then was done years prior and in some cases better, except for 3D spotting, building destruction, and levelution. Like some mods basically supported far more than 64 players in their servers, although the client/server architecture breaks down when you get north of 100 players.

Some of these aren’t too difficult to do, such as forcing a specific loadout onto a specific player or character. The biggest issue is there’s no way to edit the map such as adding a flag or setting a visible boundary for capture zones so while I could configure an AI who is unable to do any actions but can’t die who teleports around the map and standing within a certain range adds points (basically a king of the hill mode) it’s a lot of effort and isn’t really supported.

So realized last night, if you get kicked, you can't rejoin your friends unless their squad has space. DICE will put you in queue, when a spot opens up the map starts loading in. At that point, DICE checks if there is room in your squad, sees that it is full, and kicks you back to the menu with no message. Since there isn't a way to create a new squad, your teammates in game can't create an empty squad for you. If there's a way to set a squad to private it might behoove you to do that when you all join.

A few lol Majority of the people hate a lot of what this game is and represents, even just in this thread on this dead forum. Yeah sure, there are some cool BATTLEFIELD moments but honestly you shouldn't be so keen about this 80$ being huge failure and a bunch of steps back from what made battlefield. Sure maybe they'll turn it around down the road but you constantly champion this game like nothing is really wrong except a few quirks here and there. It's so drat goofy man, you like the game great.  is extremely good at changing stuff that works great, every game since BC2 has been like that and I loved BF3/4.I want nothing more for this game to be great but the base core of this game is absolute trash. Maybe they'll funnel all of their attention into PORTAL MODE but that's just a cheap cop out and I'm sure will be pay walled eventually once the sales slow down.

Yeah and honestly with Xbox Game Pass Cloud now on the systems itself (well in Beta), I don't even need to keep BF1/BF4 et al even installed and can just swap between them easily. But honestly I'm fine with the $80 I paid with G2A to get the Gold Edition. I've already had a ton of fun just dicking around and I figure once I get a chance to play with more goons on voice chat, it will be a blast again. Anyone from the BF1 PC Goon Squad remember the time I baited some obnoxious teen into going on a rant about Jews and then we all mass reported him? Fun times fun times. Really though it was an amazing time and honestly I'm so happy for crossplay this time around.

I mean technically you could it wouldn't be that hard to code, I don't know if you can code the EOD robot to score points on death only because everytime I've killed someone with an EOD robot the score board looks jank so it might not be coded correctly? You just won't spawn everyone as a jeep and spawn everyone as EOD Bot
