That's nice - gives you a way to punish stealth choppers that go low (since IIRC it's pretty easy to hit things with the tracer dart if they're close-ish to you).

Ytlaya posted:On the upside, if you unlock the final cannon for the LATV you can wreck transport choppers with it. I find that they often don't notice it's you if you're doing it from far away (probably because the pilot is looking for a different kind of vehicle). It does enough damage that it can take out a chopper pretty quickly (and you can hit them from very far away, so they might not be able to reach you in time to fight back). You can also snipe people with it. I usually get bored defending on Exposure breakthrough, so just play AA / sniper.

I suck extremely bad with the CAV's shotgun thing. My friend loves it and says it's great, but I have a terrible time hitting guys while the CAV is moving and frequently require multiple hits to kill them. I actually prefer the canister pod that some other vehicles have. That has no reload and seems to do comparable damage. LampkinsMateSteve posted:You can also snipe people with it. I usually get bored defending on Exposure breakthrough, so just play AA / sniper. Sniping people with it is pretty hard though, at least for me. The rate of fire is low and there's enough drop that it's tough. I find the other cannon better for anti-personnel fire.

Double XP weekend, happened to line up nicely with a 3h Double XP token from battle pass, so was getting 150% XP. Went full sweaty Falck tryhard with ammo box, maxing out all ribbons on Breakthrough. Pulling in 85-90k per round. Just a shame the Rush XL playlist wasn't up.

Chronojam posted:It's too bad that it's literally a technological impossibility for Battlefield to have more than a scant handful of tanks. Didn't they have to get rid of most vehicles because they were engine limited by their sunk cost decision to go for 128 players? Either way, I don't know why DICE has hated armor so much in the last few iterations. Either too few tanks, or they're glass cannons that have to sit way outside the flag range and snipe, or they're just plain not fun to drive (BF1).

I’ve been playing mw2 lately but solely the invasion mode for the vehicles. I just run for the ev hummer/ltv/itv every game and drive around playing 90s tunes, running people over and having a blast. I’m usually at or near the top of the leaderboard too, weirdly. I find the maps in bf2042 don’t really lend themselves to vehicular hijinks as much either.

Bohemian Nights posted:Is it really that crazy? Competitive shooters have smaller scope and a much, much larger playerbase to crib from, makes sense that devs would try to get a slice of that pie rather than trying to copy massive team shooters that barely anyone plays. Battlefield strikes me as pretty niche these days, though that could just be because DICE has fumbled so many releases in a row. I don't think BF is niche but I do agree the last 2 games probably hurt the series reputation and sales.

I still don't understand how they haven't reached a level of polish like MW2 given the many iterations of the BF franchise - literally take the good things from the previous games and put them into the new game. I get it, devs and game engines change, but the ideas and mechanics haven't changed a whole lot. Sure, they took a gamble with the specialist classes for 2042 and I'll applaud them for trying, but the popularity of the class-based system is tried and true. I really love the idea of Portal and I think they need to let it 2042 marinate for another couple of years, so I'm glad its getting more resources now that they're getting players back.

I've been using the XM8 to unlock the new vault LMG. It's extremely good! Like, possibly the best LMG I've used. It seems far more accurate than any other LMG when aiming down sights while not-prone. Main downside is that, due to being a vault weapon, it can't equip the infrared sight (which is extremely good on most of the other LMGs, since you can just beam down the glowing bits and kill guys that you could barely even see without it). Also, not having alternate ammo types means having less ammo in general. But in terms of its actual performance, it's pretty amazing. I think that I'm actually pretty decent at this game now. When accounting for vehicle use, I usually score in the top 10 (though I'll never get a huge number of kills like some people can do; I rarely get more than like ~25 or so in a match, and usually <15 with guns). Even on foot I seem to usually come out ahead more often than not if I'm using a gun that I like. I think that just having some coordination in a squad also makes a big difference, because our other (random) squadmates also usually place well, probably due to spawning on our vehicles (where we benefit from one of us being the driver/gunner and being able to communicate, so everyone in the vehicle shares in the assists).

Battlefield V was nearly an updated 1942 but the entire initial release was fumbled with too many fundamental gameplay changes that should have either been tested in the community CTE prior to being released. They also removed all the fun cool stuff like ships, submarines and we got stuck with the same while still fun but overplayed conquest game mode. There was a ton interesting innovative content that never made it into the game but personally I think DICE/EA really needs to get a different studio involved, a new game engine or open it up to the modding community. tl;dr - Battlefield feels to arcade-y and cheap. Nothing has fundamentally changed since Bad Company 2.

We've had helicopters since Battlefield 2 and they still haven't figured out how to balance them.

Raskolnikov2089 posted:That's not true. There's far less destruction in every game since BC2 BC2 was when destruction mattered most for gameplay, you're right. You could remove entire forests or most buildings from some spots, making things much harder for the attackers. Meanwhile some buildings with MCOMs could be collapsed, making things easier for attackers. BF4's levellution events were the most memorable, however, and on Flood Zone it really made a big difference in how that map played. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/BlackandwhiteFoolhardyBunting-mobile.mp4 Assepoester fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Apr 6, 2023 |

I just want Metro and Shanghai to be connected into one giant hell map e I've played most of the series, each game has strengths that are hardly touched on by sequels. I think 2042 is the first one to bring back playing music out of vehicles, easily one of the coolest things about Battlefield: Vietnam besides the map with the propaganda broadcast lady yelling demoralizing things at the American forces ("they will give you a medal G.I.--when you are dead!")

Hot Diggity! posted:For the better too because playing on moonscapes where the attacking side can't do anything because all cover got destroyed sucked rear end Hell nah, that's a part of the game including long stalemates. Playing on a burnt out Soissons on Battlefield V was one the best things with great balance between tanks and infantry combat. I will admit there was an issue with games lasting too long with too many tickets but we should absolutely have the ability to blow a lot of stuff up if we really want too. verbal enema posted:nah it sucks cuz it removed the cinema part of the game Exactly. Assepoester posted:BFV had a limited time radio tower mode that actually integrated the building and destruction mechanics into the main gameplay and it was absolutely amazing. I don't know if it would have saved the game if it shipped with the mode and supported all the maps, but it did more to show off what BFV brought to the table than regular conquest did. Ugh. This seems like a huge miss. I don't get why this didn't become more popular or why they dropped it. Or hell, release something like this with the Conquest game modes so that people have something that's new too? Assepoester posted:
My thing is - it's not just levellution or even destructibility but that every object has like only four or five stages of destruction. It's 2023, we have way better hardware - shouldn't we have events in the game where destruction is more complex than a wall crumbling down with a few layers?

BC2 Rush was best Rush because you could destroy MCOMMs by destroying the buildings they were in. I had some amazing fights on defense trying desperately to keep the last load bearing wall standing. Really the only downside was people (like me) tank-sniping the MCOMMs since they had hit points. The only counter to that was to park your vehicles in front of it to soak up damage. If they had added the ability to repair MCOMMs it would have been the perfect game mode.

I still consider BF1 the last great Battlefield game purely off of the feel. The visual and audio design, the overall creative direction, the maps, the feedback of firing the weapons, everything just made the game feel intense and dramatic. It certainly wasn’t the most well-balanced or bug-free Battlefield, but if I wanted really tight gameplay and balancing I’d play cod or cs. The spectacle was what always separated Battlefield from the rest of the pack, and I don’t think DICE fundamentally understand this based off the fact that they’ve been trying to make a 5v5 competitive mode that absolutely nobody wants for like three games now.

Especially if it had been a particularly hard defense or something. It really lent a bit of flavor to the game. Like holy poo poo we survived something that did THIS. It seems like V tried to combat those a bit with the buildable fortifications but it had its own issues. Shnag posted:It sucks ships haven’t been battlefield in awhile.
