Discarded does seem better but still one of my least fav maps, just feels like a worse version of Stranded.

It's butt ugly, too. Just piles of mud and puke and poo poo. Just no variation to the colour palette.

I definitely drew a covert dick on my b-log emblem and I think even that got reset after a while. It was just a (- but rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

For the side arm super 500 shotgun I have like 117% accuracy. It must be throwing off the stats when the pellets hit multiple people in one shot.

Shotguns have been stat tracked that way in Battlefield for a while now and its never not hilarious (150%+ accuracy on my top 3 shotguns in BFV, BF1 gave up tracking shotgun accuracy and it's blank)

These are definitely the ugliest maps in the BF series, I'm convinced they had a bunch of pre-made boat and shipping container models they slapped on some landscapes to create the maps with minimum effort and cost. There's something to be said for the efficiency of popping out these maps but drat half of the new maps suck

The climate catastrophe theme is the culprit, because only bland maps are thematically appropriate.

There is no chance it was the other way around and they picked that theme to get away with especially bland maps because they could hardly manage 128 players on a flat white rectangle map, no chance at all.

IMO accuracy should be tracked like this - all the shots that miss don't count, but only for me.

"efficiency of popping out these maps"? They've released 4 additional maps in almost 18 months

Battlefield 4 released 20 additional maps through DLC in a little over a year

Battlefield 1 released 19 additional maps in about 16 months

Hell even the "abandoned" Battlefield 5 had 11 additional maps in less time

Since they're doing this portal thing they don't even need new maps, just stick in all of Battlefield: Vietnam and call it a week. Locker and Metro are already both great breakthrough maps with basically no changes needed. Shanghai is a fine conquest map, but could be a cool breakthrough map where the zones wrap around the water with the central skyscraper being the final objective.

I still haven't learned the map names in 2042. There's Icy Boat one, Big Landslide one, Amazon Warehouse on the Veldt one is probably my favorite, and I think there's a desert one?

I think that's if you've got a lock-on missile tracking them and they panic and crash. There's a forced bailout one that's similar.

Love that there's seemingly about a 50/50 chance the game will hang on a black screen while switching maps forcing me to alt-f4 and reopen the game.

codo27
Apr 21, 2008

I wouldn't say 50/50, but it happens to me as well.

The issue of suddenly losing input seems tied to USB audio as I read in some post online. When I switched from my USB monitors to 3.5mm headset, the issue went away, sort of. I get a little stutter for a second instead of losing all input for 10+.

Sniped my first jet last night with the standard tank shell. The rush of winning a BR is pretty cool, but moments like that and C5ing a tank in these games are still probably the best feeling in a shooter. If only they'd stopped allowing mid air repairs in choppers. Unlikely a tank would ever make contact irl, but if it did, that thing is going down. Not just flying away with no affect on mobility while someone repairs it while hanging out the side. I know its a time tested BF strategy, but its cheap. Its like something you'd expect in CoD.

Add me on origin already drat it! Same handle

Inspector Hound

I like mid air repairs, but I would have expected a tank shell to be fatal or knock it so off course it crashed in the next moment or two, disappointing

You need to be firing Lis rockets, but almost like dumb firing, from surprising angles (like from below them), before they can react. From a longer distance they can react.

Or then you just get lucky. :D

Or then you can just use the 60mm mortar.

https://i.imgur.com/Z5LcSWz.mp4

It's a shame that it's not a 1-hit kill against the attack chopper.


The tactical conquest playlist up now is good for some fast-paced infantry gameplay over 3 flags. I bounced around until got on a good squad (two of them were probably in Discord together), and we were just sweeping up. I used the Super 500 sidearm shotgun only because it was part of a weekly mission, but now I've started to use it more. Just deletes people up close. As a bonus, it makes people really mad.

Feel like a full squad with a good pilot can completely dominate the map, you basically have insane mobility + dmg and can control the map/swing/defend any point. You can't do the same on a tank or ground vehicle way less mobility + way more counters. Luckily you don't see them too often.

At least there's a few ways to deal with the heli's. The 50cal on the jeep does great damage and will harass the choppers even if you dont kill them. The cooldown on it is so low you can just spawn another if they kill you
