Sab669 posted:Yea I've been playing Assault and Support more recently. I like the Support LMGs but the SCAR is pretty good and having a portable medkit is nice If you’re playing on hardcore servers when you’re new at the game that’s just going to make things feel even worse. I’m not going to sit here and claim that DICE is a paragon of weapon and game balance but hardcore mode deliberately throws balance out a window then collapses the building on top of it. On top of the normal stuff like losing ammo when you reload, no minimap, and no health regen you also lose 40% of the health you have in normal mode so everything and anything is killing you in 1-3 bullets unless it’s an SMG at the very edge of its damage falloff, and even then it’s probably only 5 bullets. Sniper rifles in particular become incredibly broken since they go from needing 2 body hits to kill any at range (I believe even up to 3 hits if you hit limbs with all 3 shots at long range) to kill to needing 1 hit literally anywhere on a player at any range to kill. Speaking seriously, stop playing hardcore unless you absolutely need to grind something out and even then only play Lockers/Metro and even then it may not be faster than playing normal mode uh… normally if you’re dying too fast.

I was screwing around in an attack jet on Rogue Transmission a while ago and I was consistently getting SRAW’d by someone after I started diving to attack tanks. If that was legit I wanted to shake that person’s hand.

Skyarb posted:Ya'll are smoking crack. Tarkov is one of hte jankiest games I've ever played. Sure you get accustomed to the jank, and I think some people may even love it, but from its control schemes, to its networking problems, to its insanely obtuse penetration systems the game is built on a foundation of jank. Jank is never going to be well defined but I guess I consider jank more unintentional or unfinished stuff. Also more applicable to a game that is not going to be developed or supported any longer. Tarkov is obtuse but they want it to be obtuse.

Thinking about it I actually liked a lot of the DLC maps in BF3 except the ones in the End Game release because those were all just incredibly flat and boring but without the amount of vehicles that would make flat and boring at least somewhat interesting. The only one I can think of I didn’t like at least in part was a map that was just a snowy mountain and it took forever to get anywhere.

afkmacro posted:I don't get the hate towards metro, grind, locker, etc... people like get big points and those maps are great for that. Can't really blame the playerbase for flocking to maps that have higher SPM when the game has a ton of unlocks behind ranks/weapon kills. Half the players on 1 team get big points. The other team gets locked into their half of the map or their spawn until the round ends.

Inspector Hound posted:I will never understand how to use the an-94 As much as it seems besides the point, you just don’t use the burst. Burst modes barely have a use in actual guns much less video games. Does that turn the gun into just another slow firing AR? Yep. It did have a point in Bad Company 2 where you were allowed to shoot the 2 rounds (almost) as fast as you could click but you’re as likely to just not shoot when you expected to in BF4.

If you weren’t artificially limited by the game in how fast you were allowed to fire the burst the RPM would matter but you are so it doesn’t.

If DICE hasn’t already realized internally that yes everyone (including me) actually will be carrying rocket launchers instead of health or ammo they are just as incompetent as I already believe they are.

Itd be cool if everyone got one aggressive gadget and one support gadget so at least no one has to justify taking spotting balls over rocket launchers or whatever It does sound like stuff like magic balls and grappling hooks could be a separate slot but putting health and ammo in the same slot as a rocket launcher is just incredibly dumb.

Fart Car '97 posted:That's a map design issue and not inherent to a game mode. BFV sucked rear end but Breakthrough was probably the best single game mode they've worked up and I hope they expand on it a bit. There's plenty of room to keep the structure of Breakthrough with larger maps that focus the action in a few areas without necessarily forcing people into choke points. Having separate “sectors” in Conquest seems like it might be trying to do that.

There are certain maps I just outright avoid in BF4 (or at least wait a few minutes to see how a round plays out in the early stages) because they attract the worst of the best jet/helicopter pilots. Since the maps have no or extremely limited AA options those pilots get to feel like a big player as no one except another jet/helicopter can do anything to them and they’re good enough to kill anything except another 1% jet/helicopter player. Basically any Naval Strike conquest maps, Siege of Shanghai, the China map with the wrecked casino boat, Flood Zone, Rogue Transmission, and Paracel Storm (and others I’m probably forgetting) are maps that get me immediately looking to the sky.

Inspector Hound posted:I saw someone use a deployable AA to great effect on Shanghai, and just loving around with the SOFLAM I got like three kill assists almost immediately on...the big desert one, the really big one. That's what I'll be trying on big maps going forward, along with packing a stinger religiously. Silk Road is good for lasers because there’s nowhere to hide but on maps like Shanghai a pilot has all the time in the world to hide behind a building. First you have to lock, then someone else with a launcher has to lock and fire, then the helicopter will pop ECM, and then assuming they haven’t killed you because the lock indicator has shown you exactly where they are you have to start all over again to get an actual hit. Use an IGLA if you’re going to be using AA launchers though. It has a much, much longer lock range and higher damage. You just have to hold the lock after you launch.

Maybe it's cause I play hardcore Most will definitely avoid hardcore because their vehicle health won’t regenerate, they won’t have spotting, and won’t have map markings. Crafty posted:Try hard helicopter pilots are the worst, I’m running into a few of them now I’ve started playing bf4 again. It usually feels like I’m the only one that’s bothered by them too, everyone else is just running around doing other things. Help me, I can’t let this bastard not die! Correction, everyone else will be running around but also complaining in chat about no one else is killing the guy in the helicopter.

Node posted:I think I'm going to join the BF4 rehype train. Most automatic weapons with an RPM under 800 or so are pretty forgiving and simple to learn. You’ll lose more close range fights with the lower RPM but you might lose them anyways if you aren’t used to a higher rate. The AK-5C carbine is the very first carbine you get and a perfect starting weapon all classes get access to.

And before anybody goes  at that remember Battlefield 1943?If there are only 2 maps from each that isn’t as much as I’d hoped but maybe the mixing of everything else can make up for that.

I for one am also excited about the latest entry in the long running, multi-award winning series Battlefield. I can’t wait to join millions of other players from around the world in chaotic and sprawling 128 player battles across 7 huge maps, from storm ravaged tropical islands to sand storm choked cities. The new Battlefield Portal which is bringing back my favorite weapons, vehicles, and maps from past Battlefield games such as Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Bad Company 2 and combining that with the all new custom mode features of Battlefield 2042 promises to be an explosive combination of past, present, and future!

afkmacro posted:I'm trying to remember what the issues were at launch with BF4 and I guess my mind erased that info but I do vaguely remember the one bug where if you used a particular weapon with an attachment combo you could mute the sound on everyone's clients. Bringing down the skyscraper on Shanghai crashed a server 100% of the time. A bug that was NOT in the “open beta” (demo) version just prior to release. Whenever someone started shooting the pillars everyone in the server started asking them to stop just in case the my were one of the few genuine people doing it that didn’t know what would happen.

For the scout choppers specifically there’s a couple of related things that combine into a bigger thing. I think the speed of repairs is the biggest factor rather than being able to repair at all. The related factor is that wIth ECM or flares a scout helicopter is guaranteed to have time. ECM and flares aren’t a chance to evade a missile but a guaranteed miss. For BF4 I’ve usually thought that a countermeasure should have been for a specific attack rather than all of them. Flares could stop a lock or hit from heatseekers but do nothing against radar missiles, same for ECM against heatseekers. You could throw in another countermeasure type for lasers like tanks have.

The heavier tanks do tend to survive more. By nature you have to get close to use the AT grenade which puts you well within shooting distance, also just getting there, plus there are usually infantry around a tank and just being slightly off with the distance of your throw means a lot less damage. The rocket gun requires you to find a place to set up the bipod which makes you a sitting duck after more than 1 shot and even then there’s a chance for a ricochet. Heavy tanks can absolutely run amok on maps like Amiens when there’s only infantry and other tanks to worry about.

Deakul posted:I really want to love BF4 but I'm literally overwhelmed with choices when it comes to the weapons and attachments, it's why I've always preferred the older time frames. If it helps 50% of the attachments, and 75% if we’re just talking about suppressors, do the same thing as another attachment. The stubby grip is the same as the vertical grip on every weapon, for example. As for guns the easiest choice is to just go with the ones with a low rate of fire. Easier to control, better at longer ranges if you don’t know the recoil too well.
