Goddamn, not being able to spot pisses me the gently caress off every time I play. I played BF3/4 heavily and only 1/V a bit, but gently caress me, I hate not being able to spot people with every character.

Anyone know how to add the BF1942 revive syringe in Portal? I've already seen it in some custom modes I've played but have no idea how to add it myself.

I don't mind a slow decline in the 'seriousness' of skins over time but I think people aren't unreasonable to be annoyed at the idea that there would be actual santa clauses running around the game within a month of it coming out

Anecdotally, the most recent patch seems to have improved performance for me a decent bit. Still bottlenecked by my CPU, but overall less noticeable.

Also, I've been playing a bit more with the SCAR, and it turns out it's using Hi-Power ammo by default. I've just unlocked regular ammo, and suddenly it's way more controllable while not actually feeling any weaker at most common distances.

Are you sure they're just not giving a BF1942 class a loadout from another game because 1942 did not have reviving.

I'm trying to make a "modernized" bf 1942 set with some quality of life features, balance adjustments and faction locked weapons/items. I've seen some portal custom servers I've been on allow 1942 medics to revive but I cannot figure how to do it myself.

I want to add ammo boxes in as well. Also letting classes use multiple weapons (like US medics using Garands etc). Is this a logic editor thing?

Sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit.

There's no UI prompt or button guide or any indication at all that there's any kind of score tracking on console, so I'm not astounded by people not noticing it

The gimped "infobox" in BF2042 doesn't even have scores on it so you can't even call it a scoreboard. What people are referring to as a scoreboard is just literally a board with everybody's names, stats, and scores.

Some people prefer no scoreboard for some reason I can't fathom? Isn't it human nature to want to know how you are performing versus the other people in the game? Like they never played competitive sports or anything?
I know that striving to get to the top of the board is prime motivation for a lot of people to play well.

The problem is assholes who bray about "scoreboard!" in chat or voip during internet slap fights as a reason to start poo poo. Others have performance anxiety.

I think a compromise would be to show everyone except yourself as a randomized call sign like BravoTango69.

They can just add everyone's score to the player list in the squad menu. That's an easy compromise. No reason not to show it. Chat is already team only.

There's no need to compromise. Just turn off your chat, VOIP, and the binding for the scoreboard if you've got performance anxiety or give a poo poo what some rear end in a top hat in a game says.

Removing the scoreboard because of toxic people or whatever is silly. Just like removing all chat for the same reason is silly. The lovely people don't need an excuse to be lovely.

I'm enjoying the game now that there's been some patches but I can't believe how bad the music is in this. In the previous ones you'd get some cool triumph music at the end of the game which really added a lot of atmosphere. This game just has this stupid bwaaamp bwaaamp poo poo with zero melody, its actually legitimately bad.

Likely yes but the problem is you would have to use free for all or tdm as a base and logic script a new score system from scratch while using smaller maps.

Currently you cant do any logic scripting for conquest or rush which.... Sucks.

I'd forgotten about BF3 flashlights, but how ANYONE can forget about the tower on Shanghai crashing servers as it fell for 6 months still baffles me. BF1 didn't allow you to quit until you were in a match.

EDIT: I recall BF2 was wildly unstable, also dolphin diving. Unrelated but the big DLC was a completely separate .exe that no one played after a month (ugh...those BF2/2142 era load times!). BF2142, my personal fav, you could crash servers by moving Titans.

The article is 100% correct...I'd argue BF1 comes closest to a smooth launch.

2042 is pretty close and they seem to be pretty rapid on the fixes.

I don't like the specialists stuff but I'm having fun as bunny-ears girl.
