Goddamn I love the Brawler. I'm working to unlock the badass incendiary grenades. I fell in love with them when I was using them in somebody else's Brawler on Spearhead and we kept going in the buildings and just lighting them up. It was a quick round.

The Brawler is cool but being in one of those open seats and being able to turn 60 degrees is dumb as hell and I always just jump out if I get one of those seats.

I generally prefer breakthrough and I think it's just because of how chaotic conquest can feel sometimes. Yeah sometimes you get a round where you hit a brick wall but I think the games flow better and the action feels more directed which makes it more fun for me.

What region are you in? I'm in EU and it feels like the attackers mostly do pretty well.

I like breakthrough because you know where to go to get the action. Less running and less flag hopping.


I just T1d the RM68 -- came out of nowhere, happened so quick. It really is so good. Well, got the T1 out of the way before the nerf comes that is scheduled for the next patch.

Same. I've won and lost on all maps and it seems like its pretty varied. Sometimes you get a garbage team attacking and you don't make it past the first sector and sometimes you get a garbage team defending and they lose in nine minutes. I've seen plenty of games come down to the wire though, winning in overtime. Those are amazing.

The last sector on Exposure is a favorite, especially the flag in the cave. Almost impossible to capture but sometimes it is. Insane battles there. The last sector on Kaleidoscope too, the building with the raised walkway around the inside. Teams that win make a beeline and grab it before a defense can be set up because otherwise it's nearly impossible to break in.

Hell yeah, I loved the AEK-971 for the burst fire but all of the vault weapons seemed kinda half implemented in the standard game with missing attachments and stuff so I didn't use it much before switching to something with unlocks.

It's pretty good, but yeah it gets outclassed by a lot of the other weapons. The RPK rips, though.

That can be frustrating as an attacker because your team never seems to realise that you don't even need to push so far in. A few sentinels down on the first big wall at the caves entrance and you can put a lot of bodies on the flag cap in relative safety. There are a few glitchy wall spots to the right where you can do grenade damage to the defenders as well.

Yeah the C5 is unbelievably weak and it kind of sucks that you have to stick THREE of them on a tank to blow it up otherwise it just shrugs it off and regens all of it's health while driving away and likely killing you in the process. Same with all of the launchers. It's no wonder why everybody just tries their hardest to ignore helicopters or tanks instead of working together to blow them up, it's more likely you're going to get killed by having your spot blown up for shooting a javelin or something than you getting a kill.

Its not that buggy. Very little in actual rounds, but theres a bug we've mentioned here where the game hangs in between rounds on a black screen.

I start out my sessions usually with TDM. Start a game on Norshar, I'm cleaning loving house. After a couple dozen kills, I clue in that most of the rest of the players are AI. Oh well, theres a guy on the other team challenging my supremacy, so I have that to aim for. I start to build a lead at 51 kills, server shits the bed. By the looks of twitter, its been going on with all EA games all evening :negative:

Finally got my NTW badge, I love that gun. I use a 3.5x almost exclusively and play close support with it basically, and man it's fun to send people ragdolling all over the place. Multi-kills with it are also deeply entertaining. And occasionally I can blow up a vehicle. Pair with Blasco always and I'm happy.

Was playing some gun master last week, God I hated when that came up. Every action with it is soooo slow. Would have to play for hours just to get the timing of it right.

Unbelievably slow, feels like a musket at times. The trade off is mostly never needing to shoot anyone twice.

Can you still railgun the pilot out or did they nerf that too?

I’ve only ever seen one blatant cheater in BF2042 but it’s easy to dominate in this game with a competent 4 person team to the point of being accused of cheating frequently.

BF5 however is gone. Every lobby has a cheater racking up 100s of kills in minutes.

Pontificating Ass

What Doth Life?
Hot take: this is the multiplayer game to buy right now. The class system is actually a good compromise between the game's original gameplay and the BF class system. The population is doing good, cheaters are a non-issue, and most players generally do not tryhard. At worst you get a chopper team that is hard to kill, but those guys don't actually sway the game too much because more players become infantry and cap points.

I play with a guy who is a stealth chopper player and I can feel my winrate drop when I play with him. Instead of taking an easy cap I just fly around the sky trying to get kills.
