what is the butt discord link? e: also the BF1 resurgence allowed me to play air assault for the first time and I was able to be turret for the entire round of battlefield again. i used to love shooting down planes on 1942 in the little radar dish AA on Battle of Berlin. its just so relaxing Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Aug 5, 2021 |

Am I reading this right? In BF1, the assignment to unlock the "pin down" perk requires 35 kills with the Trench Fleur, which is a dlc-only melee weapon. Is this secretly a DLC-exclusive perk?

BFV looks super pretty on ultra. I just wish it was better. I don't hate playing it, it's just, ehh. I go back to playing 1 and 4 a whole lot more.

Looking over the specs for 2042, it looks like both my new laptop and year old PC will run everything on medium. But since it's BF I will likely set everything to low anyway because my reflexes need every advantage

BFV is technically a better looking game than BF1 but it's art direction is severely lacking compared to BF1 and looks worse/blander to most people

BFV was so bad people shut the gently caress up about fixed recoil patterns being “superior”. I’m now panicking that my 8700k may not be enough for BF6 and it seems the supply of 9900k’s at a decent price may have disappeared.

EA CEO flat out said Battlefield is going to be a software as a service kind of game now, which I think is what everyone had figured out already with the Portal announcement. https://www.ign.com/articles/ea-ceo-you-should-think-of-battlefield-as-a-service

Firefights really didn't have much of a WWII feel to them.

VulgarandStupid posted:BFV was so bad people shut the gently caress up about fixed recoil patterns being “superior”. Recoil in BFV is not entirely fixed but yeah. Also your 8700K is going to be perfectly fine. The 8700K at 1080P is within 3-4% average FPS performance and identical 1% lows to the 9900K in BFV. Modern Frostbite really likes to have more than 4 threads (the 8700K is 6C/12T) see the 7600K struggling to hit 60FPS 1% lows

Firefights really didn't have much of a WWII feel to them. I think both BF1 and BFV were worse because of DICE's timidity about messing with the gun palette formula. All of the SMGs in BF1 disrupts the historical atmosphere – bolt actions being standard with an emphasis on a variety of weird jury-rigged gadgetry and melee weapons would've been more interesting IMO. Likewise, in the WW2 setting, people have cultural associations of guns to factions. I think they missed a chance to use constrained gun choices per faction but a greater variety/choice of tactical squad call-ins and class specializations. They just weren't willing to depart from the full-auto-heavy, universal weapon pool design of BF3/BF4.

And at least where BF1 is concerned, who cares? The game unambiguously has atmosphere in spades, and the pseudo diesel-punk exploration of late 19th and early 20th century weapons is at least as interesting as any “pop-cultural conception” would have been. The gameplay isn’t remotely “authentic,” but it certainly never feels like everyone is using reskinned M16’s instead of a bizarre collection of early automatics/wacky experimental weapons/actual era appropriate military weapons/etc. The huge number of experimental/underplayed weapons actually parallels modern BF titles - they also have a penchant for filling out their weapon rosters with guns that weren’t adopted or had incredibly tiny production runs. Mind you, I love psuedo-realistic shooters, but I wouldn’t ever expect a Battlefield title to be Verdun/Red Orchestra. It’d be cool if they’d taken a stab at it, but it’s extremely weird to seemingly fault them for not being a radically different style of game than BF has ever been.

I'd prefer a balanced playing field over factional weapons tbh. It's been ages so I might be wrong but I vaguely remember BF3 starting you with the M16 (pretty much the best gun in the game until it got nerfed) on one side while the other side's starting weapon wasn't nearly as good.

Yeah, I loved BF1, I think they did a great job on the atmosphere. I think I just disagree that the gameplay differentiated itself as much as the setting did. Like melee weapons were a huge deal in WW1 and they lovingly modeled all that poo poo in the game, but when 1/3 of your enemies have some insane prototype SMG, the interesting gameplay aspects of the setting fall over toward the full-auto gameplay that's ultimately not that different from the BF3 blueprint. I think you see this problem to some degree in both BF1 and BFV. People in this thread are rightly excited for 2042 because the modern setting means more technological gadgetry with fun gameplay possibilities than those previous games had. That's a sign that they had transposed the gameplay formula for a modern setting onto those historical games imo. They innovated in superficial ways (BF1's great setting and atmosphere) and small ways (BFV's spotting system, squad revives, fortifications) but I'm willing to think BF2042 will be the best game of the last three because it won't be jamming the BF3 gameplay formula into a setting where it makes less sense. I realize DICE probably couldn't have risked more innovation thanks to shareholders and deadlines, it's just a line of critique that I find interesting. People seem to forget that BF3 really inaugurated the era of Battlefield being super-fast-paced. BF2 for example had a strategic layer that mattered and mostly huge maps where team coordination and transport vehicles made a much bigger difference than 2010s Battlefields where everyone's sprinting around on amphetamines gunning for headshots. The minute-to-minute gameplay of BF2 was arcadey, but players moved slower, guns were less accurate, and your squad leader was much more important. It hasn't always been like BF3 onward.

Stupid question but how do yall handle joining the same server with a larger group? Particularly in BF1 it's a bit of a pain playing with a couple friends because every single server is 64/64 with a bunch in queue until the servers that are like 5/24 and down. As far as I can tell it doesn't put everyone in your squad in the queue until the leader gets into the server so I end up having to tell my friends which one to click on and queue for. I was trying to play this with a friend last night who completely ragequit and uninstalled the game because we kept having issues getting into servers, then when we did it turned out he didn't have the DLC maps I guess despite it not really showing that the server runs DLC maps. This guy plays a lot of COD and didn't seem to understand why it's so much easier to queue up with a squad of people in a P2P shooter  I don't really know how they could improve it in 2042 but I do hope it at least puts everyone in your squad in the same queue when you join a full server.

depending on the size of your group, join lower pop servers and they will usually seed pretty quickly

RCarr posted:Can’t you form a party in BF1 at the main menu, then queue together? You can but from what I can tell the other people in my squad don't get queued until I as the host get into the server. It's not a big deal at all my friend was just being unnecessarily precious about his time but I just wanted to know how people typically did it.

RCarr posted:Can’t you form a party in BF1 at the main menu, then queue together? Yes and no. A.) The other people have to appear online within origin and be able to be seen and invited. B.) as said above you have to be in the squad, get INTO the server and only then does it prompt them to join said server. If you sit in a 10 person deep queue they just sit there with their thumb up their rear end going "Huh whats going on" Dead Like Rev fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Aug 6, 2021 |
