I’ve never watched a streamer and I’m not about to start now- any good suggestions in particular in this ?

It almost feels like all his points were sourced from this very thread but it’s all the common complaints seen before but read over video of him killing people with the pp29.

His points in the video were core game is fun, but lots of problems. A lot of this has already been said in the thread.


Haven't watched it yet but did he mention at all how hosed the Breakthrough gamemode is with 128 people and the lovely placement of capture points?

The routine of "Battlefield game comes out, Jack sings it's praises during early access, doubles back a bit to say it needs some attention after it launches and people have given their money to EA, slowly you notice less current game content, then later on a 'what went wrong video'" is still fresh in my mind from BFV's life cycle that I don't make it a point to keep up with his content the last 2 months

Jack will follow the exact same cycle for Battlefield 2042 as he did for V. He does the exact same cycle for literally every Call of Duty patch, completely debasing himself for revenue and access. Every single major CoD patch he puts out a WARZONE IS SAVED video, hypes the new paid features and skins, then a month later says WARZONE IS DEAD because of hacking or a myriad of other reasons that the patch never addressed. Then two months later a patch drops and WARZONE IS SAVED! Cycle continues on and on.

Honestly considering refunding this, just not having fun with it in its current state.

Has anyone had any luck refunding on PS4? I just realized the official release date is today so the easy pre-order refund probably won't work anymore, but I'm not sure if putting about 10 hours into it is too much playtime to be able to process a return.

If not I guess it's not the end of the world since I'm sure it will be good in a few months when they're fixed everything, but I'd rather use that money on a game that shipped in a state that is actually enjoyable in the meantime.

I don't think it's so nefarious. He's a battlefield streamer excited to stream a new Battlefield. He hasn't been able to do that for years because of stream sniping and cheaters. It's not like there were videos during early access saying this will be GOTY and people need to rush out and buy it. EA paid him for coverage and he covered it. It's weird that people look at streamers who literally do this for their job and expect them to all rant and rave and burn bridges. Clickbait titles aside (welcome to youtube in 2021) I didn't find any of his content outright misleading. There are hours of video showing exactly what the game is with candid reactions to the bugs and glitches. All he did was wait for the day 1 patch to know exactly what the final product looked like, then made a video talking about his criticisms. JayzTwocents did the same thing although he was a lot more blunt. Now if this video dropped in a week or two that would feel like they're just trying to buy time for the purchases to roll in.

Now if you want an example of blatant shill bullshit, check this out! Videogame journalism at it's finest!

Yikes. They need to redo spawning. Every game is just piles of both teams respawning literally on top of each other over and over. It's ridiculous. I I didn't run into these issues in the open beta. Spawning seemed proper.

Agreed. I'm having fun but they should have pulled a Halo Infinite. If they manage to fix up the guns, squad, and scoring system by season 1 they should be in good shape but I doubt that Steam review will recover.

Edit: BF5 has a mostly positive rating, so anything is possible!

I wouldn't read too much into that - BF 5 didn't release on Steam until quite late in its life cycle (original release was November 2018, Steam release happened in June 2020), when it had already received significant updates and most of the people who it alienated had already moved on

Primarily EGM giving the game a perfect score. I'm OK with positive reviews, if you're having fun good for you. But to give this game a flawless score is hilariously misleading

I wonder if this is tied to the bug that won't let me deploy turrets while they're blue? I'll try to "reload" the gun and deploy it a second time. Stupid big got me killed so many times.

Also I've had it glitch and keep my sentry up after I die sometimes, which ridiculously increases its competitiveness. Hoping it becomes a real feature.

Click for thread. Basically a bunch of fixes including hovercraft. But be next week.

This is bullshit the nightbird is just fine as is. I haven't unlocked all of the later weapons yet, but it doesn't take much at all to shoot these down as it is way weaker than any other heli so I don't see why they need to tune it down.

The starting cannons are super inaccurate unless you get real close, within recoilless m5 range.

Wow, yeah those skyscrapers are impossible to take on breakthrough. They need to just move the last cap point somewhere unless until they find a better solution.

I have this crazy idea, hear me out. What if you could shoot rockets at the support pillars of the skyscrapers and cause the entire building to collapse to the ground, changing the objective into a rubble field that would be easier to attack. It sounds super innovative I know, but I actually saw this feature in an 8 year old game called Battlefield 4.

I agree that it's fine and I'm talking about the 20mm cannons not the miniguns

They have similar spread values until you get into moving spread where all the ARs have much worse spread than the smgs.

I could see them lower the reload rate on the rockets. You rarely run out the Nightbird and have to swap to MG unless the enemy team is totally ignoring you. Silk has a few games that are pretty nuts now that he's adjusting to the new flight physics. Otherwise I agree it's fine.

game is trash and lol @ so many design/balance decisions

that said it's pretty fun and I'm definitely going to play it for at least a little while. Gun balance seems hosed, but lol if you touch dirt at any point in a round

shitposting aside, it does really need a lot more QA and balancing and I would absolutely kill for a non-hazard zone non-portal 32-44 player mode, though the maps sure aren't set up for that

still pretty fun, the good infantry points are great and the vehicles are fun

The miniguns are trash at killing men and will get you killed far more than they will net you a kill. The rockers should full reload but do so slowly instead of one at a time quickly.

Another trick is that you can fire the rockets just slightly before they lock-on. Just spam the fire button and youll see. If youre working with just one other person, you two can clear the entire sky in your area but even by yourself youre a huge threat
You don't have to spam, just hold down the fire button and it will fire as soon as it's able to.

The other important trick for AA is that if a pilot pops flares, you still gain lock progress if you're pointing at the plane/heli during the flare immunity even though there's no UI feedback, meaning if you stay trained on the target, you will have almost a complete lock by the time the immunity wears off and you can launch a missile or two up their rear end immediately and they will get extremely little warning.
