What a horrible thread to have a post.
Yeah the dude said they are adding

a) glint to all gun scopes over 2x
b) different degrees of glint based on the scope's magnification
c) an improved glint effect

Curious on how it's going to shake out....

Here's a hint: poorly. Streamers and reddit love two things, complaining and sniping, so I don't see this shaking out well.

If they just made the flare circle start from being shot instead of the top of its arc it would be vastly better.

I usually use irons, but whenever I use scopes, I only scope in after I've used the spotting scope and found a cluster of enemies hanging out. Works like a charm so long as you don't aim down the scope for more than 2 seconds and move around once you've engaged a couple of times.

Most pubbies don't do this, so I'm completely okay with whatever changes they bring to scope glare.

Remove all flare coding currently in BFV.

Insert all flare coding from BF1, especially the part where you hit some rear end in a top hat on the other end of the map and get free points and kills.

Game improved.

So glad that I went back a page and saw that TTK revert.

Although if I was to guess, the issue they are having with getting people to buy the game is probably more to do with them releasing the game five months before their BR mode is ready when CoD released their game in a "complete" state and when BR games are the current hotness.

Or not, maybe it is new players are dying too fast before they even buy the game.

Exactly. Now you know where he is even earlier and will be even more annoyed that you pelt him in the chest 6 times for 64 damage while he has all the time in the world to slowly aim at your head and 1-shot you because he doesn't even flinch from body shots.

I mean you even get suppression points yet it does jack poo poo to the suppressed...
Suppression with a flinch effect is the only "hard counter" against a sniper. So give us some.

Man I want them to dump that stupid battle royale mode out as quickly as possible so they'll learn that people really into those games stick with the main contenders rather than buy a Battlefield game for it.

Shame the thing will take development time from things that matter but remember their last attempt with BF1 that was a dumpster fire?

My current dilemma is whether I want longer belts, or whether I want the insane 1200rpm for maximum buzzsaw. I think the MG42 fires fast enough already, but you can delete dudes with a quick pulse anyway and it'd be cool to see that more.

Flip flopping on the TTK shows that they have no idea WTF. Which is totally understandable. They're' a small indie developer and this is the first game of it's kind. If they had massive studio resources and had been working on games like this for a 15+ years, that would really be embarrassing.

Make it the opposite of the MG-38 so you have an excuse to use both.

Longer belts. Honestly, it fires fast enough already, and when you get a really good spot going, the last thing you want to do is reload every 5-6 bursts.

Seriously, It's such a waste of time. I've been waiting for years to come back to this setting and they are devoting resources to a skeleton game mode of a over saturated genre where the best versions are free or near free on both console and PC.

And I bet my stupid old imaginary internet hats they won't support the game mode after they drop it and it will be empty in three months or less after it comes out.

My thoughts, I'm not a great player but I have hosed around with the MMGs quite a bit:

Spec the MG-34 with Flashless and the Ammo Belt and the accuracy mods. You can shoot about 30 rounds before it starts to overheat, and the RoF is very decent and leaves no muzzle flash (*although you still leave tracers*). This is good on maps like Devastation or shooting from the foliage in Arras.

Alternatively, spec the VGO for Recoil control, Flashless and Fire Rate and Chrome Lining, you now have a gun that shoots as fast as the base MG-42, is more accurate, and no muzzle flash - so works a lot like the MG-34 + the MG-42 had a baby and can burst at a higher RoF for longer. Downsides: 60 rounds instead of 100, takes a bit to reload.

Either one of these works as the MMG you want to use in open areas to cover your squad as they advance or hold an objective with a large field of fire and not get instantly deleted when 3 guys see your muzzle flash and open up on you.

Spec the MG-42 for ammo belt, heat dissipation. The first and fourth picks are freebies based on your playstyle. This is the gun you use when you want to hold a corridor or other small FOV position and you don't give a gently caress who knows it. Challenge me bitch - I will end you. The reason I don't talk about the other spec is that the MG-42 with the higher RoF is fun as hell but burns the entire belt in less than three seconds so it's not good at being an actual MMG, it's actually kind of a weird proto-RNG shotgun where you can zap people within 6m just by throwing a zillion bullets at them from the hip. BRRAAAAAPP.

So you now have an MMG that's a murder machine at covering tight areas and one that's a bit safer at covering large areas although I want to stress that the MMG Dream is covering one of the side halls on Aerodrome i.e. a tiny FoV field of fire when dudes get funneled into your bullets (second best is when you flank a squad from a slightly elevated position, go prone, and gun them all down). MMGs work when you have solid cover on either side and can watch a narrow area from where opponents can appear; they quickly lose effectiveness the more ground you have to cover and the more exposed you are.

They added The Ribeyrolles 1918. It's bad because it's a low ROF assault rifle with only 25 rounds. But it has a bipod, which I guess is supposed to be a good thing?

At least assault can now experience the pleasures of jamming a bipod onto your gooch and lettin' rip on people who think you're a corpse

Supports can only equip up to 1.5 zoom and the 1.5 is an iron sight so it’d be pretty weird for that to have glint.
