Corpses and dead vehicles pretty regularly do weird physics things. I've probably played 20 hours in total. It hasn't really turned me off the game at all. It's not like Cyberpunk bad.

Chad Sexington posted:the giant sniper rifle that two-shots vehicles seems good It's legit good, it's obviously slow between shots and the reload might make you want to pull your hair out but it's a really fun gun that makes the game good. You can harass tanks 300-400 meters out and kill them too if they're too dumb to move https://streamable.com/tj1lcu Also there's a bug with changing loadouts with angel's box that lets you get as many rounds that your previous weapon had

The maps play like they were designed for Breakthrough. And they work quite well for that purpose IMO, even if they're missing lots of details and minor cover for better infantry combat.

Putting C5 on the ground behind a tank does more damage than the putting the C5 directly on the tank for reasons

DrBox posted:I'm just checking out some of the guns that aren't viable yet in MP in solo. If you want a fast (cheesy) way to level guns I've found you can play solo Breakthrough on Kaleidoscope and quickly cap the first two sectors then spend 15-20 minutes on the roof mowing down bots. Just take the south elevator to the roof and run around quick to the south edge with lots of cover. Put down a spawn beacon and use Angel so you can keep giving yourself ammo. I've gotten ~500 kills in two rounds with the AC42. This is a good tip. Cuts down on the slog in getting some attachments definitely. Reddit's already yelling about this map being impossible in MP so get it while it's hot before they move the last cap off the roof.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I will sit this one out for a bit and check it out in a few months. The bug reports are not surprising, it sounds more like business as usual for  . I am a little concerned about gameplay reports.

Budzilla posted:So compared to other BF games on release how bad are the bugs? I've seen the videos but are they really that frequent? Not catastrophic like BF4, but more that little bugs can start to pile up and get very annoying. Like someone previously said zero crashes. Game breaking bugs, a few times. I think I've played for about 35 hours. But you won't play a single round without some stupid poo poo happening with the UI or some balance issue getting in the way. If you have a high jank tolerance there is plenty of fun to be had, but if that kind of thing is going to ruin it for you just wait a couple of months until poo poo gets smoothed out and some new modes and maps drop.

I think Hazard Zone is a really fun and generally underrrated mode that I want to play more of, but the 30mm cannon on the jeep basically ruins it. It's the most broken balance ting in the entire game and the only reason no one is complaining is that not many people are playing Hazard Zone. Especially now that everyone seems to know about it. Whoever gets the Jeep spawn will just dominate the other teams. It's practically unplayable the second a jeep comes into play.

I'm just soloing the suppressed LCMG. loving AI starts the same poo poo as MP, ganging up in wildcats, and with a penchant for me apparently. And none of the AI in my team gets a clue about AT or C4.

Decided to play around with LMG's todays and does it feel like the bloom on the LMG's isn't consistent.... like at all. Like regardless of moving/not moving or stance, sometimes they're lazers where you can zap people down the street and other times the bullets will not go where your reticule is. I dunno, I would feel better if the LMG's had horrendous recoil, but the bullets generally went where the reticule is pointing, at least then I wouldn't be disapointed when I'm easily tracking a stationary bot and the bullets hit everything around them. edit: Also AP rounds are garbo, you have enough rounds on you by default to bring enemy armor, if you hit 100% of your shots to 36 health, and if the armor is sitting around waiting for you to reload three times to kill it, you may as well have had a rocket launcher on you where you're not sitting there exposed to do the same amount of damage quicker. edit2: Actually thinking about it, if the gun actually shot where you pointed it most of the time, it might be a cool thing to use with wall hack lady to shoot people through walls, but unfortunately the bloom is so jank you may as well not do it.

toggle posted:So what exactly does the hack skill of the IT guy do to helicopters? I’ve been hacking them, switching to the stinger and they can still get flares off. Am I too slow or is this how it should work? It should lock out weapons and flares for around 10 seconds. Might just be a time thing where by the time you hack, swap, lock, fire, and the missile travels the flare is usable again.

The at rifle thing bothers me cuz as powerful as vehicles are are you still get the attention of the entire map when you appear. I hope it doesn't have perfect accuracy and it really shouldn't be able to kill armor unless it's got like 3% health left but that's just one mooks onion. Also the bolte seems cheap and I'm not sure what the point of it is.

Counter-point gently caress all vehicles in they stupid asses, things can drop like 30 people a go in some situations if they get on top of people. Anything that makes it easier to clap back on them is a good thing.

I was playing with it before on the port map. The hack really doesn't give you enough time. If they break LOS on a crane or something for a split second, you're out of your 10 seconds.

Raine posted:the m5c bolte also gets the 30mm Luckily the bolte isn’t in HZ, just the jeep. I don’t have a problem with 30mm in general even though it’s insanely powerful. But it’s absurd that it’s useable in a permadeath infantry mode where people can’t really focus loadouts on vehicle destruction. It just melts entire teams in 2 seconds with zero skill or strategy.

I really like how fast they are working on fixes and how well the communication is going. It really sucks they blew the launch and so much goodwill by releasing it in such a broken state but if they deliver on that list the game should be in a really good place by mid December. Stoked to see a lot of the UI fixes and nearby medic stuff come so fast. If they had another beta instead of early access week and delayed until January it would have been night and day. Hopefully those poor bastards will get a decent couple of weeks off at Christmas. They must be in ultra-crunch mode right now.

Stoked to see a lot of the UI fixes and nearby medic stuff come so fast. Imo if they can get the game in a semi polished state in the next month this'll drama will blow over. The huge maps are still going to be controversial, but I expect to see smaller ones in the future as well as more modes to alleviate that. Basically if they can get most of these little bugs and UI issues sorted quickly I think the game will at least be on the right track.
