SVK ate a huge nerf, the recoil impulse is a hilarious 45 degree jump that takes twice as long to return to center, cutting the effective rate of fire a ton

this really feels like the anti-fun patch I was worried about

Not too surprising, really. It's holiday season. CoD Vanguard was down to $39 on Cyber Monday in a bunch of places, currently on sale for 20% off at Gamestop (along with Far Cry 6, which isn't that old either).

Not sure how nerfing the SVK is anti-fun. If anything, it's more fun because the SVK was pretty ridiculous.

It's anti-fun because now they don't have an easy to use relatively op weapon that kills in 2 shots at any range.

Is it that the SVK was OP or that the other guns just really suck and need to be buffed? I think the SVK was about where that kind of gun needed to be where it rewards prior planning by switching optics ahead of time to deal with the terrain and fighting distances you're gonna get, but you'll get smoked if you get caught out switching optics or using the wrong one for the engagement distance and even then it's not the perfect gun because if some competent dude gets in your face with an SMG or AR you'll probably lose the fight.

The SVK was definitely OP. Even at close range I have killed people that have jumped me with smgs because the hipfire is very good and it just takes 2 hits. It's certainly not the same as getting jumped at close range and having a bolt action out. Also do people switch optics? 3.5x or 4x seems ideal for dmrs and especially the SVK. 4x is the most magnification you can get without having scope glint and it works great at the ideal engagement range for dmrs(imo 0-150ish meters).

Seems like it still shoots faster than the bolt actions, so it still has it's niche. If you can aim, use a bolt action and pop domes. If you can't aim, use the SVK. If you really can't aim, mag dump with the DM7 :v:

It probably should've had its damage values at range adjusted instead of its muzzle flip but that's just my opinion. Also, can't be antifun for me if I'm not playing the game. I'm in a "wait and see" if they sort things out/will the game have a decent playerbase when I come back in March holding pattern

SVK was basically the ZH-29 in BFV, which as far as I know nobody complained about. Interesting to see the SVK getting poo poo on and it makes me think that the problem is the other guns.

Pubbies rage about the ZH-29 all the time which is half the fun of using that weapon. But yes, you are correct that the SVK is only strong because most other weapons are trash at med/long range. This was immediately evident to me during the early access phase, but with the buffs to rifles I'm sure it's not anywhere near as dominant.

During the earlier BFV betas, the ZH-29 was absolutely loathed and widely criticized. I dunno whether they ever actually did something about it in the meantime or if it got put to a more reasonable level during one of the million TTK changes.

If you favour realism then look into hell let loose, squad, arma or insurgency sandstorm.

This is less 'arcadey' than cod. Less arcadey than BF1 and V too. But it's not a realistic shooter by any means. But it probably is the most like BF4.

I'm enjoying the game as a BF fanboy, but I would be loathe to recommend buying it from anywhere except Steam with its generous refund policy.


I hope they have more assignments with lots of reviving. I had to race to beat other players to revives and I've never been revived as much.

Nobody cared in live release, at least in my experience. I pretty much used it exclusively as I like playing aggressive scout and never heard or saw anything about it. I also was reading Reddit at the time (yeah don't judge) and IIRC everyone was bitching about LMGs and enemy visibility.

it shuts down the weapons and countermeasures on any vehicle for a specific amount of time. Not sure how long but it seems to be around 5-10 seconds

Very useful for making an over-aggressive vehicle a sitting duck if your teammates are paying any amount attention(they probably arent)

Oh that would explain it. I hacked a bunch of helicopters and probably 30% of them would still pop flares instead of eating a stinger. The new hacking speed is amazing for killing overconfident pilots though :discourse:

welp, last patch has somehow nudged this game into the unfun category for me. Its not one specific thing necessarily, its just a combo of a lot of :dice: Everything about this patch feels worse - its harder to kill people with the guns I use, the AK took over the PP but its still one OP gun 90% of playerbase is using, the overall jankiness with how AA lock on mechanics work (or don't work), the intermittent nature of spawning into vehicles, and the constant unending UI bugs. I could (and have for like 50ish hours) put up with that, but there's so many annoying design choices that I'm done for the time being.

What gun got nerfed besides the SVK?

The AK, SCAR and both LMGs had their initial vertical recoil reduced. The LMGs have less max spread. The Vektor seems to have gotten a buff to it's burst. All the SMGs got a hipfire buff.
The AK is good but I certainly wouldn't call it OP. Weapon balance is pretty good right now as basically every gun is viable at multiple ranges.

I dunno if the DM7 got nerfed specifically, but I've used that dumb thing since the start and it feels like its only getting worse. I mostly played medic / mondragon in BF1 so I'm ok with the slower ADS and all of the stuff w/ the marksman rifles, but its really just fallen apart IMO.
