Playing BFV for the first time since its beta and holy poo poo it is literally unbelievable how much of a regression BF2042's map design is, not to mention the UI and a boatload of gameplay features. What the hell happened?

Yeah I’ve been playing BF1 the last few nights and holy gently caress does it just gush cinematic battlefield moments. 2042 is so sterile

Previous Battlefields each tended to have a distinct tone and personality, to a varying degree. Not anything particularly narrative, but when you looked at a bit of footage you'd easily go "yeah that's battlefield" even without seeing the UI or anything. BC2 in particular had a memorable voice, but 3 and 4 managed it as well, and of course BF1 was huge on its mood and aesthetic. But then BFV came along and it was pretty much just "it's WW2 I guess", and now 2042 is similarly just "it's modern warfare I guess". They tried to cram a glimpse of personality in there through the specialists, but it absolutely does not work.

Yeah I can tell that BFV is missing a lot of what made BF1 feel special but 2042 is an even more massive leap towards a totally empty experience.

As a first time battlefielder I really like the sound design. Whenever artillery or a big bomb go off it has a big imprint on the feel of a match. What sort of things did BF1 have that V regressed from?

To me it's a terroir of sound effects, music, gameplay and map design that really nails a grinding, miserable mood mixed with moments of heroic spectacles. It's really something special.

What sort of things did BF1 have that V regressed from? I love BF5 but I kinda agree that it doesn't hit the war setting as well as BF1 did. I believe the reason for that is because a lot of pre-pacific maps have a sterile/untouched feel to them as if neither side currently occupied the area and it's just two armies running headfirst into each other at a random location, especially in conquest mode. A lot of the "WWII" aesthetics come from the construction mechanic of trenches and tank traps/sandbags or the ability to tow AT/AA to strategic positions, but the first one is done sparingly and I've never once seen somebody besides myself tow one of the 2 AAs out of spawn on Arras and the ATs may as well not exist. It doesn't help that Assault, Medic and Engineers all run full auto rifles/LMGs 90% of the time, machine guns (both engineer and stationary) are borderline useless and stationary ATs are better against infantry than they are tanks. And the lack of more popular WWII battles didn't help. The pacific update maps (Iwo Jima, Pacific Storm and Wake Island) on the other hand did a much better job. Leaving off the two ships on landing crafts and amphibious tanks as the Japanese team shells you from the canons and planes feels like an actual operation.

Those looked fun but I hadn't found an ideal time to use them yet instead of Chauchat. I guess a related question is: what does the game register as "suppressed"? If someone tries to run from cover but stops while you're firing on them? e: Someone shot me with a BOYS' ANTITANK RIFLE and I did the lumberjack nod in my seat.

I guess a related question is: what does the game register as "suppressed"? If someone tries to run from cover but stops while you're firing on them? Engineers get access to medium machine guns like the MG32 that require you to use the bipod before you can aim down sights but due to the way geometry works in BF5 it’s buggy at best when trying to set up on something and what will actually happen is the moment you try and aim at somebody the game well keep flipping between “can ADS” and “can’t ADS” while you get shot in the head. It works better when prone but it still isn’t very reliable. The stationary ones have a pretty slow ROF and the iron sights are slightly off so you’ll most likely get blown up as you stand there and try and zero in on somebody. Suppressed is shooting in somebody’s general vicinity until a diamond shows their location to your team.

I also have a copy of the Documents/Battlefield 2042/settings folder and paste it over the default settings after listening to Irish tell you how conquest works. It's happened like twice since applying the first fix.

Bayoneting in both V and 1 is so drat fun and removing 1st person takedowns and replacing them with whatever the gently caress "finisher" animation that cobbled together from Apex Legends and MW2019 was a mistake.

What sort of things did BF1 have that V regressed from? Really good art direction. Between the character models for each faction, the lighting, sound effects, everything just felt much more coherent and intentional. Just look at this trailer for the first DLC, especially about 30s in when the camera follows the German soldier to the ground and the sky, clouds, and poppies form the French flag. BFV and 2042 had nothing even close in their visual designs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msXl2ZybwTk

I'd say that in terms of """non gameplay""" things BF5 is still quite similar to BF1 they just don't come together quite as well. I don't know enough to effectively explain why. Maybe I just like how WWI looks more than WWII and that makes things like firing a field cannon or a tank shell landing next to me or diving into a crater feel better.

I'm playing 2042 way more because I'm still sick to death of WW2 stuff. Honestly 2042 doesn't go far enough, I want vehicles that can cloak and there should be way more unmanned vehicles. There should be a light ground vehicle that's fully armor plated and impervious to normal bullets but gets completely blinded if it gets EMPed because the driver inside is just looking at a screen. There should be unmanned aircraft that have lighter weapons and armor but can do crazy maneuvers and speeds a manned one couldn't do. Why don't we have thermal scopes in the future??

It is weird how 2042 is supposed to be an actual sequel to 4 and by that time they were already running around with hover tanks and rail guns and building actual walkers and Titans from 2142 and then the actual near-future game....doesn't.
