I'm back and ready to be disappointed. I'm trying to reserve judgement on specialists, but it feels like they were trying for that BR hype again, then realized it would be a poo poo project halfway through but already had specialists in place.

Vagabong posted:What was it that made BFV so bad anyway? I only played a for a few hours on EA's sub service but it felt kinda off the whole time. In addition to what everyone else said, they removed Jihading/made it near ineffectual. Probably the most iconic bit of Battlefield, and they took it out. I stopped playing Battlefield V when they just randomly removed the ability for the light tank to damage medium and above armor. There was no reason for it, the only time it would cause any problem is if the light tank player used ground strategically to get superior positioning behind an enemy tank, and even then, a decent tanker could still win it. But DICE decided even that bit of challenging gameplay was too fun and completely removed it without telling anyone.

BC2 revives would pull you out of whatever menu you were in, back into the game. So if someone on your team was a medic, but in voice chat with a squad from the other team, they could theoretically keep you from quitting the game by just killing and reviving you over and over and over. This is how we tried to show useless snipers the error of their ways. So much glorious hatemail.

Kazinsal posted:BF4 seemed to have worse visibility than BF3, but didn't have the omnipresent blue tint and desaturation that BF3 did. I probably played more 3 than I did 4, but 4 feels a lot more mechanically solid. I'm hoping 2042 is an evolution of that. I wouldn't know, I never left thermal in bf4

Crosby B. Alfred posted:I don't know if it's just me but I found nearly every AA gun incredibly weak in the game with the exception of Battlefield 1. That's because you're playing them wrong. AA guns are for mounting Zunis on and then going infantry/armor farming. Crosby B. Alfred posted:BF4 AA was okay when the game first came out but was eventually nerfed into near uselessness with the exception of helicopters. Again, you were using them wrong.

DrBox posted:I'm so hype I've been watching every trailer breakdown video I can find looking for more gameplay details. I know people were wondering about vehicle entry/exit animations. Not sure about exit animations but it was pointed out that you can see an entry animation for someone jumping in one of the side gunner seats on the Osprey being pulled into the tornado. You have to slow it right down to see it. I liked the animations so as long as they are kept to a couple seconds I think it'll be ok. I just hope they aren't as long as the BF5 troop carrier one where you open the doors and walk all the way through from the back. I hate the enter/exit animations because they ruined the fun meta of two enemy engineers rapidly jumping in and out of the same tank as they try to kill the other.

Yami Fenrir posted:Not sure why that's your first assumption but ok. If a gunner is firing nonstop at a jet across the map, you are lit up on the minimap the entire time, making any kind of positioning moves you are trying to make completely pointless. That and they're hyperfocused on a far off pixel and not scanning nearby for a c4 surprise, so they're a lot worse than no gunner at all. Al-Saqr posted:It’s almost like Bf1 was an inspired design for a setting and they went all out to make it wide, expansive and captivating while Bf5 was supremely boring in it’s choices for locations and setting.

Im still not understanding why you think a squad of engineers should be able to no sweat defeat a squad of decent armor. Armor is a force multiplier. To overcome a squad of it, you need more help from your team. This is not a bad thing, and is a key way Battlefield is meant to be played.

BF4 LAV/BMP was just a thing of beauty. Zunis, 25mm and thermal. Fire a round and hit reload at the start to get full load + 7. Use your superior speed to get behind tanks. Run the moment you take more than 2 hits, repair and come back. Just stay on permanent boost. A squad of 2 LAVs + LAV-AD (with Zunis) shouldn't be able to regularly account for 1/4 of the enemy tickets through kills alone, but in BF4 it wasn't that hard. They'll have to nerf, it's massively overpowered. I'll be sad though. Nothing gold can stay. It also helps that we would regularly sacrifice flags to prolong the kill farming.

Insert name here posted:They did nerf it post-launch (can't remember how, I think the chopper have to be below a certain speed in order for the repairs to work?) but yeah it's very powerful. At launch they were legit more powerful than the attack choppers lol. They just slowed down repair speed if you were in the air.

codo27 posted:Thing that concerns me most in anticipation of 2042 is how none of the games to feature the current version of frostbite have felt right to me. Shooters are just like shoes to me in that they need to feel right or else nothing else matters. I've only played brief beta stints of 1, V, Battlefront but they all just felt off. Hoping 2042 isn't as such. It usually takes me a good 60-80 hours before I know if I like an FPS. Most of that is getting over the initial "killed from seemingly random spots" hurdles as you gain map knowledge and figure out which guns you like best. 1 and V just never felt right, and I gave at least 100 - 150 hours to each. Part of it is just how much they lowered the skill ceiling in weird places (repairing from inside the tank/remove the ability for a full explosive loadout on infantry to auto-kill armor/straight up removing jihad/putting vehicles in a spawn menu so there's no chance of the enemy backcapping and fighting their way out with stolen armor/etc etc). I get it on one hand, new players will get frustrated and quit dying from the same mechanics longtime BF players have spent years perfecting, but then it's not really a battlefield game anymore. And as you strip these mechanics, you get fewer and fewer of those vaunted "battlefield moments" as less cool poo poo happens.

Yall missed the most important part. DICE confirmed you can attach c4 to the robot dog. also: "Use of the [vehicle] call-in system is dependent on map, mode and will have a specific budget assigned to each team." Pubbies going to blow through that budget in the first 2 minutes of the round getting to their favorite sniper spots. Raskolnikov2089 fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Jul 14, 2021 |

That would require BF1 to be as fun as BF4. I hope they fix the weird ticket bleed for conquest. I get that they're trying to make it so teams getting stomped don't empty out and kill the server, but their fixes for it the last two battlefields just made it so come from behind and down to the last ticket wins happen so much more rarely.
