I want you guys to know that I'll be playing this on PS4

My second copy is always ps4 and it runs great so that is nice. I mean I am garbo on the sticks but playing with some of my old associates who only play on there is fun. I mean at least your not playing COD on a PC lol.

I liked the trailer of this game because it looked like those old WW2 CoD games but with next-gen graphics. However, I don't believe :dice: can make a good single player campaign.

Who plays the single player? poo poo it's standard policy for goons to post a save file the day after the games come out so we can all avoid single player. I am pretty sure most of us have never done more than run the last mission 3 times. I know some people who buy cod games for single player but I have never heard of anyone buying a battlefield game for the story.

I just played one conquest round. Game is good. Tank whoring is not as op as people say unless you're avoiding capping flags. You don't get c4 jihadis coming out of the woodwork like the other games but you're definitely not invincible.

Runs ultra @ 1440p at 50% res scale (that's a 100% apparently) pretty smoothly on a 1070.

edit: looks like 42% is actually native res.

Yeah tanks are pretty much fine as they are. Maybe up the damage on anti tank stuff by 10% at most. Some of the attack focused tanks will chew up a unprepared squad. But there seems to be a good balance of the tougher tanks doing less damage and the higher damage tanks take less to kill. Depending on how much we can unlock I think it will even out nicely. Some of the light tanks are really good, fast and enough damage to hit and run really well but they die in like 2 tank shots or about 2-3 dynamite.

Oh quick note if you experience flickering or flashing on the screen try disabling the origin overlay first as that will usually fix the issue.

Oh yeah the gif of the guy trying to stick dynamite on the horse. Yeah it dose not work because dynamite dose not stick to anything, he uh probably should have tested that part before making that gif.

So I tried to figure out more stuff with defense points. I still have never seen a defense bonus for kills. So no clue about that. But if you are a squad leader and set a point you own to defend, a timer will appear. Its 60 seconds and at the end of it you get 300 points. The odd thing is that it doesn't start ticking down again unless you set a new command and then set the command order back to the point your on and then you can get another +300 defense bonus.

All in all defending is a fools errand.

I get defensive bonuses all the time, bonus zone us 2x the cap radius. A single def kill can be worth more than 400 points easy so uh yeah your still wrong. But keep on not defending since it's more easy wins for me and my teams. The bonus extends even farther with squad orders.

Also how does the train work, do you have to cap a specific thing or is it a "you're losing too hard, here have this!". The tips video didn't explain it.

e: also I hope there's a rolling map like that one unreal tournament map where it's one team on the train and then the other trying to take it out before it reaches a certain point.

It's a your loosing badly bonus for getting spanked hard. If you load it with a coordinated squad it can win you the match assuming you have more than 50 tickets to go it can make for good comebacks but between the timer and the enemy team holding any points can make comebacks not work. There is still some tweaking to do to the game modes timer and how flags give points. But dice has said they are aware and will be changing the numbers a bit.

Why not? Most if the anti vehicle stuff is still locked for 90% or more of the players. Once people get anti vehicle gadgets and more players learn that they can shoot planes with small arms then they can tell if something is actually op. Plus this is a actual beta not a demo, lots of poo poo will change.

Anyone know a magic trick to make the vehicle keybinds work? I've changed movement to ESDF, use/enter/exit to T etc. and now every time I hop into a car and try to accelerate I jump out and look like an idiot. It doesn't help that my use key is what puts the gas mask on originally because every time I jump into a vehicle I instantly have the mask on my face.

So the game somehow uses the default binds for vehicles it's kinda ruining the game for me. How in the hell do you fui ck up key binding in tyol 2016?

Uh yeah you have to change all the key binding sets. Just go through the tabs and set you binds. There is literally a tab that says "vehicle". They don't have one set of key binds for everything and haven't since bfbc1. I'm sorry I just don't know how you spent that much time in the keybindings menu and didn't see there is like 5 differnt sets of key binds separated by category.

If that does not work disable origin cloud save on the game then delete the file. Open battlefield and it will make a new one. Then close battlefield reenable cloud save and when it asks say use local. One of these two should get you sorted.

Rush feels exactly the same to me as it did in every other rush game. What is it that makes people says it's better here?

The parts of the map user for rush are made for rush. If they fit well into the conquest map they add that to a section of the map. If the area would be bad in conquest they make it a separate area of the map not accessible in conquest. So rush bits are made for rush and conquest parts are conquest. This makes the maps better generally in their respective game modes. It also makes them much easier to balance.

Anyone else having trouble spotting enemies? I got killed about 20 times in my first game and I don' think I saw my killer a single time.

e: even when they were right next to me. just totally missed them

Yes and I bug reported it with footage. I am not sure if it's a display model location error like the horse bug or if something wonky is going on. I even had the model pop into view inside of a empty red outline.

Even with that the games were much better tonight with more gadgets available. I think me and Satan must have killed each other 5 or 6 times with incidiary traps. Tanks were getting owned, aircraft were not to bad. Shotgun hut ref was wonky as gently caress not sure if it was because of the ddos or the fact that half the players I saw were lagging to poo poo. Also snipers if your using k bullets a d want to gently caress over the bombers aim at a wing and keep shooting because you can disable the wing control and prevent in flight repairs at the same time.

On the ground, sure. But in every other bf game the vehicles were just fighter, strike fighter, apc, mbt, and jeep thingy with a nation appropriate skin on them. It didn't make a mechanical difference, kept things balanced and visually distinct.

There were massive differences between factions all the way up to bf3. Bf4 had major differences in speed and hit boxes as well as turn rate. The guns may have been the same but the vehicles were not.

I mean I can see you guys point, but I think most of the variation will probably be paint or something tame like that. I think they feel you have a more immediate need to know what the tank or planes load out is than anything else. And from getting spanked by a tank hunter tonight I would 100% rather be able to id the load out.

I love how one of the complaints i saw the most on reddit was that Semi autos and SMGs weren't very common and how everyone should have bolt action rifles, now that literally every team is half snipers i can see why they took some liberties.

Yeah that is really annoying, like I have played maybe 2-3 rounds if scout or whatever it's called. But drat it really does seem like at least 50% of every team is sniper's just laying in some rocks. It's slightly less annoying now that I can say hello back with the assault antitank gun. But still you can almost feel it coming when you hear the 5 sniper bullet sounds that one of them will get his wish today and manage that "perfect"* shot.

Because the flamethrowers are they back two guns and nobody sits back there like ever. And the driver has to have it equpt. If you can get a squad going driving that thing though :stare:, it's pure destruction.

Stolen from Reddit, because I wanted to know what the beta tried to tell me. Apparenly >60 fps can still generate a low fps warning. :allears:

It just means your fps is fluctuating by enough a high enough value that it may effect your in game experience. You can be running 180fps and have issues if your fps drops to much to fast even if your above 150fps still.

So, apparently my friend has figured out that the weather effects are client side and can be disabled. :dice:

That is a known bug in the beta. Like waves in bf4 it's all synched from the server. And like bf4 people can turn it off in a file. And again just like in bf4 if you do turn it off and it's not just the bug it is a permanent ban on the origin account.

Did they really enforce/control for that in BF4?

Yup they consider it a major exploit if done intentionally. Plus the settings for it are buried in a file your not supposed to edit so it's super easy for them to catch as well. In both cases it confers a major advantage on the person to the extent that it is treated like wall hacks or insta kill scripts. I think with the waves it was less obvious how big of a advantage it gave but with the dynamic weather it's really obvious.

I've dealt damage to planes from the rear seat but it's always been peanuts. I've *never* been shot down by a rear gunner.

If your in shooting the front of the airplane you want to shoot center front for engine damage. If you can't see the front of the plane shoot the wings for a wing disable. If you do either when someone is approaching the ground in a dive or heading towards a mountain they will almost always crash and give you the kill.

You make up issues about the game that are not real and seem to expect people to just let it slide while you vomit up complaints that are not based in reality. People don't let that kind of poo poo slide in games like these because knowing how guns and gadgets work is actually important. And now your going 100% tumbler warrior since you didn't get your way and people treated you like the idiot you are. All your managing now is to show your a insecure person who is trying to get some pathetic form of revenge for being treated how you act. If you want to keep throwing tantrums feel free but if you expect anyone to take you seriously I would suggest you take a good hard look at the problem.
