I kind of like the vcar, it reminds me of the M1917s from BF1.

I really have fun playing around with the vcar, but it's trash. The carbine pistol basically does its job without using your primary slot

if you want to use the vcar, use the ac42 in single shot mode instead which actually shoots faster, has a better ranged damage profile, has much lesser kick per shot, has better weapon deviation, has a single direction recoil pattern instead of randomly both directions, can equip underbarrel grenades, and can switch to burst fire now to be fair, it could be because the ac42 is overtuned

comedyblissoption posted:oh my bad I meant it shoots much faster than the dxr sniper Yea, if you are good at clicking on heads the lever action is great for out to 100m or so. After that the min spread being more than 0 and the bullet drop off become noticeable. Hell, the revolver with a scope is basically just as good since it can 1 hit kill with headshots out to 40m and it shoots slightly faster. Probably reloads faster from empty too  I'd probably still rather use the SWS-10 since it reloads waaaay faster. Also it always kills in 2 shots regardless of distance.

SolarFire2 posted:What's really funny is his side is losing most of the battles while he and his pals are sitting somewhere sniping instead of playing the goddamn objectives. I actually see a decent amount of coordination in chats these days about SOFLAM. People asking for it, or if you mention you're using it, people will acknowledge and look to exploit it. The problem I run into is that unlike those epic lads in the video, if you try and stand around soflamming within range on most maps, you're going to get beamed often enough that you can't consistently keep a target up. It's still occasionally worth doing, especially with a human squad. Maybe it's more useful on Conquest, but I haven't played that since like Day 1.

Game is $39.99 right now on steam. How is it for PC? Is it worth it if you loved BF4 (at this price)? More Importantly are people still playing? Hearing the maps filled with bots concerned me.

The Specialists are lame, but they don't detract from the Battlefield experience too much. They're like Jar Jar Binks, where they get all the flak while real problems are much more nuanced.

Mang Tomas posted:Game is $39.99 right now on steam. Easily the worst battlefield to date. But if you really really want battlefield there probably isn't anything else to scratch the itch. The game so bad I returned it twice. Specialists suck rear end and the game would have been better with just classes. You're also at a weird point in this thread's life cycle. This game launched terribly. https://steamcharts.com/app/1517290#All Other than the free weekend injecting a bit of new players into the pool the population is dying FAST. Most people who bought it, returned it or moved on and aren't posting here because they'd rather be playing a good game instead. There are a few people who are still managing to have fun and they have remained, so you are going to get a number of fairly "its got problems but its a good time" type posts, but its not really the full picture. the 33% on steam is probably a much better picture of the games current state.

Mang Tomas posted:Game is $39.99 right now on steam. It's fun, haven't run into any issues with maps not being filled either on the main non-gimmicky modes. A lot of the user created stuff is either zombies or trying to make hardcore-type modes. I have no issues with performance, but know that it is VERY CPU dependent. E: Mang Tomas posted:Couldn’t you pick any primary and secondary weapons though with specialists? That’s a big change over classes I’d say unless I got that info wrong. Yes you can choose any primary and secondary. Some specialists lend themselves to certain playstyles and weapon types better than others, but there's nothing preventing Casper from running a shotgun. You can pretty much turn any specialist into any class and save those templates. Gunplay is a bit weaker than BFV, little more like BF4 I'd say. Biggest problems IMO are tied to progression and unlocks. Just not a ton of stuff to unlock and the weapon stuff is pretty marginal.

Anyone can rock any equipment, but specialists have specific perks that might make them better at a specific "class". So there are like two specialists who have medic like abilities (armor, and heal gun). But some just have like a wingsuit or grappling hook. Specialist balance is pretty out of whack though with some clear stand outs. No. IMO the gunplay feels significantly worse than bfv.

The class system works like this: One specialist throws you a pouch that does ammo and armor overheals, and also can revive any teammates, and can also remotely drop a BF4 commander box (team loadout change with instant refills), that also lets you have cover anywhere outdoors or climb to new locations. This box lets you use any gadgets, so drop a spawn beacon for your squad before switching back to a SOFLAM. Hell you can SOFLAM an enemy vehicle then switch to your own rocket launcher. Or you can be the other specialists whose abilities mostly help themselves and only work ~75% of the time. Angel does it again!

I think the game is super fun, with the occasional annoying bugs and the ever present specter of DICE engineering. Sadly the game is optimized pretty poorly for a lot of machines so I would also say try it before you buy it.
