Watching that Jackfrags video on making your own game modes just has me unreasonably excited for this. I don't think I've actually been this excited for a game in a decade. The bots just make it seem like an actual sequel for BF2 that I've waited for so long.

Every FPS has like 50 guns that nobody ever uses except as a joke or when there's some specific challenge for it. Yeah, I like the idea of a lot of guns but reality for me in any game is that my stupid min max brain forces me to obsess over the stats and feel until I settle on the "best" gun and use that for 90% of the time.

It was a hassle since the servers are getting hammered but I managed to host my own portal stuff testing out BF3 and BC2 against bots. It really is stupid how you can't just local host a single player session to do anything. It's always online all the time. This is why I'm pretty resigned to the fact that this is just a limited lease to play until they gently caress you over by shutting down the servers in an X amount of years. That said, performance was good on 5600X / 3080. It defaulted to ultra and Arica Harbor was hovering around 100fps 1440p never going under 90fps and some times well over 110fps. Hitching and stuttering when ADS for some reason. Game looks very pretty. Bots seem fine. They hover inbetween very stupid and very deadly so hard to tell from a normal experience. Except you don't have to worry about ping, lag or hackers (in the future, not now obviously) Land of contrasts, I'm having fun.

So 2042 AOW can be played against bots solo locally with progression and that's awesome. Having fun. Portal can not. That's pretty drat dumb. I only get "Global game quota exceeded" when I try to play Portal by myself and browser is 90% XP farms lmao

So I was finally able to host my own Portal session (Battle Of The Bulge 1942) and I noticed that I no longer see XP next to kills. So they fixed bot farms with removing progression from bots? Haven't finished the game yet so I'm not sure if they just removed the message or actually nuked progression for solo portal. lmao edit. finished round and saw that I got XP so either I did something (don't think so?), the XP indication is bugged or they removed it from showing. Anyway, holy poo poo I love this 1942 remake. It's so simple with the original classes and guns but looks awesome. The Ardennes looks so nice and feels like those Battle Of The Bulge episodes in Band Of Brothers Jeff Fatwood fucked around with this message at 13:13 on Nov 13, 2021 |

https://twitter.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1459317828545298437 No, I was right, they did disable XP for Portal. Just lol, it's incredible how they make it not only possible to XP farm with ease (I mean whatever, I personally don't care) but then make it so that the limited server space has to be shared between anyone who just wants to play the drat game. And then they immediately go nuclear on it. Just setting themselves up for failure. Trying to host a portal game is still rear end. Maybe slightly less wait time when spamming the start button.

Frog Act posted:I think it’s only for portal games via server browser because I got to level 10 yesterday only playing portal as the base game is inaccessible I only host my own Portal games and didn't get any ribbons. I only got the match reward. I also had normal XP progression yesterday. Close to lvl 8 now and mostly Portal. In other news, had some incredibly gnarly rubber banding and laggy tank turret control while playing solo AOW.  Can I seriously lag in my own session or is the engine just being wonky?

Are the controls really that awful or am I an idiot? The defaults are pretty terrible and I found no way to change the mouse controls so I'm out of helicopters until I learn how to use the menus to rebind mouse left/right to yaw or they fix the menus. It felt like rebinding mouse movement was just broken.

I'm pretty turned off on the game right now. I love the bots and they're easily worth it for my dumbass but I can't host my own portal games unless I spam "host" for five minutes anytime I want to play something. So basically no tinkering or finetuning game modes live because you always lose your spot when you leave. It's incredibly how they didn't think of even allowing solo vanilla Portal game modes (like AOW) just so I can always start a fresh game anytime I wanted. I know they'll probably fix it with more server allocation or something else but I don't think holding my breath and gambling 90 bucks for that is any smarter than preordering games in general. Playing normal Portal is good and fun but I feel like I might as well be back playing either BF4 or BF1 and the 2042 side is so broken and I don't really care for the specialists that I'm just contemplating refunding. I like it but DICE.

toiletbrush posted:So how do bots work in this game? It it like Unreal Tournament back in the day when you could just create a local game against bots and customise it how you want? Or is that only available for certain game modes? The 2042 All-Out-War Solo/Coop is pretty much just click and play which is great. You can only choose bot difficulty (3 modes), game mode (Conquest or Breakthrough) and map (only 2042). Then there is Portal where the only way I got bots was through customizing a game through portal.battlefield.com and then hosting your own experience. You can customize almost anything there. No local games, only hosting on EA servers which are just hammered with what I'm guessing a lot of empty bespoke game modes that are only being played by their own creators. So I basically get to compete for server space for a single player experience which is just

From what I gathered, they've pretty much nuked Solo progression to the point bots don't count as kills after the first (few?) unlock(s) per weapon so the advertised solo progression stops almost immediately. Only thing you can get from bots now is XP and levels. If they're this behind, I doubt the solo progression and Portal XP stuff gets addressed in a while if ever in a satisfactory manner.

Rusty posted:That stuff was turned off without a patch so they could change it again whenever but why are people caring so much about progression? Absolutely they can but I'm not holding my breath. If you're primarily a solo bot player, you'll be locked out of most the content like weapon attachments. This wouldn't be a big deal for me personally if they didn't explicitly advertise that.

Got the refund on Steam. They auto reject normal refund requests if you have over two hours (I had 12) so you have to do an "I have a question" ticket where you ask for a refund. The 2 hour thing only counts after actual release date. Honestly it's a shame because I really enjoyed the bots and I'm sure they'll get around to fixing most of the stuff that bothered me but I'm honestly not hopeful on them not permanently weaseling somehow out of their full solo progression promises since they went so scorched earth on bot farms immediately. Gotta sell those XP boosts somehow. I'll probably repurchase at a discount later.

I'm really happy with just playing Solo with bots since it's just a very casual shooting, no pressure or paranoia about getting run over by hovercrafts or dominated by airlords and most of all no real lag or hitching or whatever anymore. Multiplayer on the other hand is completely hit or miss right now with performance. The start of the match is just the worst and I still get intermittent performance issues. Tested out the PP-29 finally and what the gently caress. How did they gently caress up the other guns so badly and why does the fix take this long when they can just take the shield offline at the press of a button.

MazelTovCocktail posted:Hmm...you could just create a huge AI farm and just spot and use intel ribbons for major XP or will that not generate too? No, it's pretty much capped. It seems like you can play with normal XP in solo for like 20-30k every 24 hours and after that it tells you that the cap has been reached and like only a 10th of your actions count towards your XP. No ribbons. At least kills count now for attachments etc.

DrBox posted:I'm just checking out some of the guns that aren't viable yet in MP in solo. If you want a fast (cheesy) way to level guns I've found you can play solo Breakthrough on Kaleidoscope and quickly cap the first two sectors then spend 15-20 minutes on the roof mowing down bots. Just take the south elevator to the roof and run around quick to the south edge with lots of cover. Put down a spawn beacon and use Angel so you can keep giving yourself ammo. I've gotten ~500 kills in two rounds with the AC42. This is a good tip. Cuts down on the slog in getting some attachments definitely. Reddit's already yelling about this map being impossible in MP so get it while it's hot before they move the last cap off the roof.

DrBox posted:The current vehicle spawn system could use tweaks for sure, but play BF3 for a while to be reminded of how dumb the "spawn and try to race your teammates to the vehicles" is. I was ahead of a guy going for the chopper so he pulled out an RPG and blew it up before I could get it. Yet another beautiful 20 year old Battlefield tradition that the evil devs took away. Perestroika posted:Yeah, solo mode is pretty good for unlocking the first few attack helicopter unlocks, since it's pretty difficult to actually get kills as the pilots with the default rockets. Note that you can also hop into the gunner seat while in flight and generally have enough time for couple of kills before having to switch back. The seat switch almost feels OP because I have a distant memory of choppers in older games almost instantly taking crazy dives if you switched seats (to use the TV missile). Here it just gently glides the way you were going giving you ample time to snipe with the turret.

Update #2 has dropped. I like how the ingame notification keeps telling me to restart game even though Steam already installed it. edit. AK does seem to feel better. Happy about that. edit 2. And I immediately got a cool bug I hadn't encountered before. Spawned into a vehicle, jumped out right next to enemy and Mouse 1 didn't work. OK, I think I understand what happened. I spawned into a MAV, spammed exit vehicle, accidentally started entering again, got into the animation to enter but got out before the animation could finish, died, spawned again and everything was bugged. Randomly reload animations didn't play, reviving either showed the progress circle but no animation or vice versa without me having to hold the interact key. All animations got bugged because I managed to leave the vehicle before the enter animation played completely. Jeff Fatwood fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Nov 25, 2021 |
