Maybe I am late to the party but it seems with Falck you can heal yourself faster if you just switch to your med gun and shoot the ground and switch back to your primary avoiding the self heal animation

Pharmaskittle posted:Looking ahead and some unlocks, it looks like there's a "heavy" silencer that seems to do nothing but make the firepower even lower than the regular silencer??? I asked around and apparently the normal suppressor lowers your damage a bit, maybe .95x, while the heavy suppressor is like .9x Normal suppressors keep you from being spotted when you fire until X distance ie if it's 20m, you can fire at 21m and stay hidden but if you are within 19m of the enemy you will be revealed on the minimap. No idea what the actual distance is though. Heavy suppressors keep you off the minimap no matter how close you are to the enemy.

That's a neat little tactical depth that I really want to see in a game, and I wish the game spelled it out for you lol. That makes me wonder if the different under barrel grips that seem to do the same thing actually have minor differences!

Finally got around to upgrading my CPU, and I can confirm that going from 6 cores to 8 makes a massive difference. I used to get poo poo in every other close quarters fight due to frame drops, but now it's nice and smooth no matter how much poo poo is popping off. Also yeah, the PKP is beastly. I didn't realize at first, but it's bottom attachment actually does work as a functional bipod. Once you get set up in some place, you can really lay down some fire.

It's amazing how much good will DICE could build by just keeping Rush 2042 a permanent game modef, tweaking it so you switch sides at the end of a match, and putting it in the main "all out warfare" menu instead of hiding it in Portal. Rush has been a staple mode in BF since 2008, keep the rotating game modes poo poo in Portal to gimmick stuff like zombies or whatever.

Sad about the SVK because I love giant angry battle rifle loud sticks and I wanted its 20 round mag so bad because short range and holo sights are all I was using on it in the first place : ( If its going to be a 2+ hit kill the stock mag size needs to go up.

I really only want to interact with whoever's in my squad, not the 124 other people in the game asking for all-chat so they can type "Lets Go Brandon" over and over again. There's a rumor that they might increase squad size to 8 in the future, which could be...interesting.

The only thing that changed on the SVK was the increase in how much the scope jumps up when you fire a shot. It takes longer to settle back to your target now. You can still shoot quickly, just not as fast as before if you want to kill stuff at long range. At close to mid range you can still kill people basically as fast as before since the scope jumping up doesn't matter too much at such short distances.

I really wish that they had vaguely set up the maps for Rush so that defenders had a minute to get set up and they weren't literally spawning defenders and attackers the same distance from objectives. also it's weird af having essentially no defensive positions to defend from. I hope rush sticks around but holy poo poo they need to actually put some real effort into having it play like rush e: one last lol that often attackers get multiple vehicles and defenders do not, which is just the stupidest poo poo for a mode that is meant to moderately favor the defender. generally in previous battlefields attackers would get vehicles to help push through extremely defensively strong points/choke points/open areas. I'm glad rush is in the game, but it somehow manages to miss nearly all the things that made rush good. Instead it's like 'defend this flat area with zero fighting positions' and the rush meta is basically to see which team can get 15 redeploy beacons down by the objective first Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Dec 12, 2021 |

Outside of general UI, the amount of pre and post round animations and screens would need complete reworking for more than 4 people. Ideal would be 6 man Squads and 2 or 3 Squads to a party but that isn't happening.

Definitely could, the only thing you can't really do is base a mode off of Conquest* and Breakthrough. *you may be able to formulate some logic around a hidden bit being worth points when you're near it as a psuedo capture zone

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:I just can't play Hourglass 128 anymore. Conquest or breakthrough, it's always a frustrating and unpleasant map to play. I quit every time it comes up. On BT, the second sector in the villages is absolutely painful. You're always getting shot from one ridge or another and, in contrast with a lot of other parts of maps in-game, the buildings are basically explosive barrels waiting to collapse and kill you. I really like the fight in the city sector though. After playing a bit more now, I don't find myself actively despising as many of the maps as I did in BFV like Fjell or Hamada (except the Hourglass bit noted above). The removal of rooftop capture points in BT was clutch, too. I also actually *like* Renewal. Gunplay is in a pretty good spot right now. Most guns are viable, but the PKP is the best all-rounder. As much as I hate to say it cuz I love it, the PKP probably needs to be toned down. Unless you're an MLG no scoper, there's really no reason to not use it for general purpose killing unless you want to be faster at killing close with an SMG.

I honestly can't say there's a single map I "hate" which is good because they only gave us 7 maps out of the gate (portal maps don't count to me). I guess if I had to pick, Kaleidoscope is pretty boring to me gameplay wise and my least favorite map. I only play 128 conquest though, Breakthrough to me is like a worse Rush.
