Counterpoint the MAV is a super fun battle wagon/taxi. Once you get the TOW launcher it becomes pretty viable against armor. You just have to use terrain and your speed to juke the tanks. Thankfully more people are starting to realize the first gunner slot has an HMG to go against infantry with. It really works best an infantry support vehicle/mobile cover. Just crank the classical station and roll with the infantry focusing on several points and it's a lot of fun.

They’re great and I love driving them, just don’t expect to unlock much for them. Battle Bus for life. They can turn a game around.

lmao the bolte takes 3 rockets to kill like the olde hovercrafte

the high power ntw-50 rounds kill both the bolte and hovercraft in 5 shots

to kill the hovercraft, 2 ntw-50 hp rounds + 1 rocket

to kill the bolte, 3 ntw-50 hp rounds + 1 rocket

They have a Sniper & Knives mode in the featured Portal section. Really fun! It's Deathmatch where you get 2 bullets and a kill gives you two bullets.

yeah I loved BFV and I don't think anything matched it's level of fun until BC2 or so but I basically never hear anyone mention it outside of occasional praise for the music in helicopters (which also owned)
People also praise the helicopter hook/vehicle winch which was amazing and should have been in more Battlefield games.

But I also fear that if they try to bring it back carrying a vehicle will have a 50% chance to crash the server or something.

New patch is live. If it breaks your mouse the fix is to delete everything that starts with GstKeyBinding.infrantry in the PROFSAVE_profile file.

Amazing work Dice!

They overhauled the keybind settings screen but it isn't really any better or more readable, just different.

While breaking everyone's mouse movement. Just :dice: things. It's not just infantry either. Vehicles have broken mouse movement as well.

Reseting keybinds in the menu doesn't fix it either. Just stellar work.

Tried playing a bit last night but the keyboard kept thinking it was stuck. I'd press left and then slide left until I hit terrain. The back key would make me go forward. The forward key did nothing. Etc.

Anyone else experience this?

Not like that but I've had controls take a poo poo multiple times losing input, not being able to fire, change weapons, that sort of thing. Redeploy usually has worked but I'm bored and frustrated with the game enough at this point that input jank just makes me sigh and quit on the spot.

No. The push for matchmakers vs browsers and the extinction of browsers is because the MMR keeps players playing the game. It might take someone a few attempts to find a 'good' server and they may just stop playing. MMR on the other hand, just dumps players into a new game which keeps pushing the "well I'll play one more game" button.

So if that's the reason why not have both? Steady servers you can join on and matchmaking that just pops you I to one if you don't want to bother? I feel like this has done before but can't remember which game it was.

I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
Finally got the AC-42 and it's nice having an AR I can use! Three round burst solves for the issue I'd have where I'd land 1-2 shots and dudes would always juke or get away before I could finish them. (Also I am getting old and bad at fighting recoil, so having functionally less is very nice.)

I feel like we've been saying Breakthrough is go-to ITT since shortly after launch. It's 100% clear it's what the maps were designed for, which seem way too big otherwise. I do agree it should be default though.

e: Oh I didn't realize there was a proper Rush now!

Yeah but breakthrough isn't Rush. Rush has the bombs you can arm/disarm, much less vehicles and the maps are a lot smaller and focused.

The new Rush in 2042 is really good and is basically BC2 which is my favourite battlefield game.

I am in absolute shock that despite them testing 128 players nearly a decade ago finding it extremely unfun that swapping to a mode with less players and more focused maps creates a better game. How is this possible????

For the love of god, anything other than the
LOL at the Santa skin. There's also a Crocodile Dundee?-like skin for Mackay.
I guess this just shows that the tonal shift is irreversible for Battlefield.

I have to chuckle at the thought of desperate US and Russia governments locked in a hell war over dwindling resources hiring mercenaries that dress up in Santa outfits and have reindeers painted on their tanks.

I had to start and restart the game for Steam to properly update my game. Just a tip if you have issues.

Also, reposting this if you have the mouse bug (can't move mouse left or right), this fix worked just fine:

Open the file PROFSAVE_profile located in user/Documents/Battlefield 2042/settings with a text editor (maybe make a copy first just in case).

Look for the lines that start with "GstKeyBinding.infantry.ConceptYaw" and delete all of them
