Frog Act posted:Like when you try to spot an enemy or vehicle as you would in previous games, using Q, it just drops a ping on the map rather than actually spotting the enemy and putting them on people's minimaps. the stuff from the radial menu for callouts are fine, I guess, though nobody ever uses them, I'm mostly thinking about the spot system they replaced with spotter seats and drones. Oh I get ya. I'm not sad to see the old style callouts go. Actually being able to sneak around makes for a better game imo. E: and the current system makes the spotter seat in vehicles more valuable. Spotting itself is poo poo XP, but you're gonna get a ton more assists--a spotter is far better to have than a forward gunner, except when you drive into the enemy line, then a forward gunner is nice to keep c5 and drones away KrunkMcGrunk fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Nov 19, 2021 |

DrBox posted:Rubber banding and connection issues were gone and performance was a little better for me last night. I don't think anyone implied a broad rework of the game on day 1. Did your refund go through? There's still some small hitching server side every 5 seconds or so. Running a server with 128 clients at 30Hz (lol) is stressing the hardware and connection too much. Söderlund was right about 128 players not being worth it DrBox posted:I actually like this part. You can sneak up on people or hide in cover and not get doritoed by someone mashing the spot button for 40 minutes straight. Pings should just be a visual callout, although it feels a lot clunkier in this game compared to Apex. Agreed but then everyone is running drones and prox sensors because you'll make more XP doing assisting kills than you do actually killing people, so you can't really sneak up on people because some drone us spotting everything. jisforjosh fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Nov 19, 2021 |

Had a good round of Breakthrough on the clock today. Having a bunch of fresh meat is useful for racking up Apache kills. I was fiddling with the C5 drone last night but found it tough to actually use. Really need enemy vehicles to be more static for it to work I guess?

Yeah. Prox sensors need a nerf and they could fix drone spotting a couple of ways. Reduce the range it can fly (lame), add a battery life so they can't sit in it all game, or add diminishing returns on spot XP if the target was already or recently spotted. I like the last two ideas.

Making assists different from spot assists. Allow for "Assists counts as kill" to prevent kill "stealing". https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Score#Battlefield_4

Trip report on the autoshotgun: It's good.The PeePee gun is overall much better obviously, but the autoshotgun makes for a decent alternative if you're doing a lot of house fighting. If you're on point with reactions and aim, not many can beat you up close. The autoshotgun is effective at longer ranges than I thought too, and I'm looking forward to unlocking slugs and extended magazine to test those out too Collapsing Farts fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Nov 19, 2021 |

Honestly I think EA just needs to say we will eventually be adding all the maps and stuff from BF1 and BF4 to portal (granted for operations they'd probably need to make it stuff that won't use portal).

I really want a official legacy map hopper alongside conquest and breakthrough. It's a waste to have Caspian Border right there and not play it while earning XP. They can slowly add maps to the list and have a 'best of' queue that will just go 64 or 128 players depending on the map.

There’s a real frustrating bug with controllers - where your camera will suddenly look at your feet (I play y-inverted) (or in the sky if you play default). Otherwise it feels like battlefield! Liked using the wingsuit to flank an enemy.

I would like to remind everyone that their darling BF1 didnt have a quit button for like the first 60? days of the game. I like BF1 and I don't mean this as a slight, but  has almost always released total poo poo on launch, except maybe for OG bf1942. So far this game feels pretty darn good, although I could easily see it swinging to total poo poo before it comes around to BF1 fun.

1) the 42 engine is a glitchy mess, it's just a lot of the glitches and jank aren't noticeable, lead to hilarity, or people don't remember because it's been almost two decades. The only reason I remember them is I cut my teeth in programming doing mods for 42 and BF2. 2) DICE didn't program 42 from whole cloth, they bought the developers of Codename Eagle who had '42 in development at the time, they then finished the dev work. 3) I've always had the sneaking suspicion that after EA acquired DICE after Battlefield 2, that who ever was responsible for making decisions that made 42/2 excellent ended up getting poo poo canned or left or didn't have the same amount of creative freedom for the development of Bad Company 1.

It's not a trick, the missiles are bugged and any missiles in-flight before the flares are fired will just zoom around aimlessly until the flare effect wears off and then immediately resume tracking the target.

Game runs great and looks great, but sounds like poo poo. Kept hearing random russian voices behind me, but they were on the other side of the map? I couldn’t bind my mouse keys. I couldn’t move any vehicles - I could rev them, but not drive forward. I can’t host my own games. I once joined a game and had no spawn points showing. the 2042 maps have no cover, which is baffling with such a high player count. BC2 doesn’t feel like the original, it feels soulless. why have a profanity filter in a game where you’re knifing and shooting people? I started out having fun but then the reality of aaa gaming and shareholder expectations sank in. What a shame …

Sedisp posted:Wait till November 30th. There's quite literally two guns in the game that are even worth using. Even ignoring the lack of gun balance, there just need to be more guns. It's goofy that there are gun types with literally just two options. I was spoiled by starting BF5 only a few months ago, though I still imagine it must have had more options than this to start with. I wanted to keep using shotguns for the variety, but it reached the point where I was just nerfing myself too heavily. As far as I can tell, the second shotgun is kind of pointless since it can't one-shot people up close and most other guns (namely PP-29) can easily kill you before you can fire a second shot. The first can do one-shot kills, but is seemingly just "a less versatile PP-29 that only works at very close range." I've started using the first LMG. I would normally use something more like the marksman rifle, but my game stutters with it (I have the ADS blurring stuff turned off, but I think it's a CPU bottleneck thing since CPU is capped while GPU is usually at 70-80% and changing graphics settings does nothing - I think I really hosed up by getting an i5 back when I made my PC, since it seems like a lot of games are built for the 8-core CPUs in consoles.

If you're on point with reactions and aim, not many can beat you up close. I'm looking forward to unlocking this, though it's going to be a while (I think I'm rank 26 now). As someone who is presumably a shotgun user, what do you think about the second shotgun? I can't figure out the point of it. It's certainly more accurate at medium ranges than the first, but in a way that seems kind of pointless when you could just be using a different gun type.

The standard shotgun is a gimmick and not really that good, it's just too slow and the killing power at midrange is super unreliable. Though I haven't unlocked many attachments for the regular shottie so I dont know if those upgrade it a lot or not. The 2nd "shotgun" is just a much worse SVK rifle so it feels pretty pointless.

The autoshotty is the best one so far It seems like "slow firing close-range weapon" is inherently very limited, since below a certain firing rate you're basically guaranteed to lose against multiple enemies unless they gently caress up (since there's a pretty high minimal time to kill them - the delay between shots - while with other guns you can instantly start shooting the second target after the first).
