It seems like they still have classes, just with the specialist you pick being an extra perk within the class. So if you want to play support and use the support gadgets you also pick a specialist that gives you extra stuff. Maybe I misunderstood it though.

Propaganda Hour posted:I passed on V at launch and only picked it up about two months ago. Seems fine? Maybe it's a case where I didn't play at launch or something, but I'm having a pretty good time with it. Not nearly a good as 1 or 4, but not a horrorshow. I had a great time with BFV despite the flaws. The biggest issue was them playing with the TTK making it a lot less fun for large portions of the game's life.

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WomAGoEh-Ss&t=135s

Insert name here posted:On the other hand despite their seemingly deliberate attempt to cover it up with a conveniently placed piece of cover, if you look at the scene with the C4 quad it looks like the guy riding the quad gets out instantly if you watch the markers for friendly players and minimap, so I wonder if it's going to be CoD Warzone style where there's an animation that plays for getting into a vehicle but gameplay wise you "enter" it instantly, and exiting just causes you to pop out. Yeah could be. My other hunch is that there is always an animation for getting in, and maybe getting out when parked, but you pop out fast if the vehicle is moving fast.

I think some of the BF5 hate is overblown. It felt solid enough on release and I liked squad revives and fortifications. The real problem was the terrible TTK changes and bugs that took too long to fix. Those really hamstrung it for a long time, but they finally polished it up. The Pacific theater stuff is worth a look too if you shelved it before that came out. I know it's permanently tainted for some people but it's in a pretty solid place now. If you already own it or grab it for cheap I think it's still worth a try. I've been playing again all week and having fun.

Modus Man posted:The last computer I built was in 2011 and I built it specifically to play Battlefield 3. That computer is in storage and hasn’t been fired up in a few years. I just looked at what it would cost to build a new high end computer for Battlefield 2042 and ouch… We don't have the recommended specs yet but Call of Duty Warzone lists a GTX 670 and a i3-4340 as min spec. Now that does not always mean that you will be unable to launch the game but there are certain times where games need specific generations of hardware at minimum to run. It almost certainly will not be playable even if it can technically run. You can blow the dust off and give it a try in the open beta whenever that happens but I'd start saving up if you really want to play and enjoy yourself. They have not announced if has cross-play but either way, I think the newer consoles all support mouse and keyboard if you wanted to play it for cheaper.

In Titanfall 2, bots acted like creeps in DOTA or League. As someone else pointed out, the bots in 2042 seem more like Chivalry 2 bots. Something a little more capable to fill out the server until more players come in. I think it's great. I wonder if they will join squads or give you some way to tell a bot too jump in the gunner seat of your tank. It'll be kind the NPCs in Halo hopping in your Warthog.

FAUXTON posted:is there any word on how spotting is in-game? BF5's 'i saw a tank over there' way of doing things felt like an overcorrection but 4 and 1 sometimes come off as too generous. I read a thing today saying it's BF5 style but some vehicles have a spotter seat (and probably a specialist gadget can spot?) and 3D spotting will be back for things like vehicles tagged by spotters. Have not seen it in action though so heavy grains of salt.

I remember reading that because they consider a game an artistic work, they can use the likeness of real vehicles and places with no issue but often you'll see specific vehicles or items as brand promotion. I'm not sure if the same is true for the likeness of real people, but probably not since athletes are fighting for compensation for their likeness being used. Edit: Activision using Humvee in COD. Apparently AMG's case against them was dismissed because for the portrayal of the military in the game to be realistic, they needed to model the actual equipment used https://www.google.com/amp/s/itsartlaw.org/2020/06/22/updates-from-the-video-game-world/amp/ DrBox fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Sep 10, 2021 |

BF5 plays music in the last bit of the match too as the tickets are counting down.

Target Practice posted:Well yes but as someone else said it takes away resources from the core game and I would say also splits the community somewhat. They already have no single player and more studios working on it. By this logic they should cut TDM, Gun master, and rush because it splits the community away from the core conquest mode. I'm looking forward to whatever the not-BR Tarkov thing is but the fact that they have not disclosed details this late feels like a red flag.

Played for 3 rounds. Pretty fun but very rough around the edges. Guns and movement feel awesome. UI is horrible and just feels like clutter at times. Tweaking the opacity settings made it less obnoxious. I really miss the squad revive animation from 5, the paddle animation just isn't as cool. I could not find certain keybinds so they may just be missing. Vehicle cockpit view is super glitchy at max FOV and doesn't keep up with your view so it looks like it stutters and gets in the way. Tank turning the main tank body and rotate the turret at the same time only seemed to work sometimes. Worst though is the rebinding for pilot is bugged so I can't bind yaw to mouse left and right. It bugs out so you only get one direction making helicopters a no go for me right now. Even with all that I'm having fun. Lots of great potential for squad play. Spotting is very different now so just certain gadgets and vehicle seats can spot. I was the recon guy with the drone painting 7 enemies holding the point so a heli could wreck them from range.

comedyblissoption posted:I think the tactical attachment system adds nothing to the open beta version of the game and could've been replaced with an alternative fire mode button which switches to AP ammo/shotgun slugs/underbarrel/silenced. I like it for all the attachments except ammo. I hope they just change it to a shared pool of ammo instead of splitting it up across 3 magazine types, two of which I might not even want to use. I imagine we'll unlock more in the main game and select 3 or attachments per category.

I am having a ton of fun. Not sold on the specialist system but curious to see how it works out when we get the full roster. Add in things to help team play like commo rose and a way to see who has ammo on the HUD and that part should be ok. Playing with a full squad on discord and coordinating our kit felt great. Then they just have to fix up the aircraft lag and tank gunner jank and that's the most annoying stuff dealt with. There are some bigger things I'd like tweaked like vehicles feeling floaty. It sounds like they already addressed movement stuff like constant sliding and bunny hoping. I'm optimistic. I had a blast with barely any unlocks on one map with 16 hours played so I want to see the rest of the game.

Skyarb posted:After playing bfv more I can safely say there is a ton of QoL improvements that really make teamwork easy and fun. Turns out a vocal majority of the BF community making GBS threads on BF5 for three years despite it being pretty good (you could see it in this thread even!) lead to them discarding a lot of the good things as well as the bad. The team play problems come down to a lack of info and UI improvements will go a long way to fixing that in 2042. It takes two additions. 1. Icons on teammates for health, ammo, and medic. 2. Nearby medic list when downed. If you can see at a glance what gadgets your teammates and squad have they will help people know who to go to for ammo or what gadgets to take to compliment your squad. Then of they add the nearby medic list when you're downed it will stop everyone from just insta redeploying. They could also add ammo depots to the capture points but that is one of those contentious BF5 things again! Sure there will still be times when you get mad at the lack of team play when nobody is dropping ammo or health but you get that now in BF4 with 80% going engineer for rocket launchers, or BF5 when your whole squad goes assault or recon.

Skyarb posted:I keep hearing this about bfv but drat I've been playing it a ton and I see a huge variety of classes. I think I see more medics than anything else. Bfv is actually really good, I'm honestly shocked how much fun it is There was a long time where it was frustrating to play when they kept loving with the TTK and weapon balance. Early on was much worse for my fav class medic being useless at range. They got it all sorted right around when the Pacific theater stuff was released. I think 2042 will be fine but if they take one lesson I hope they either get rid of the third person stuff or make it a toggle. BF5 felt really good and immersive with all the great animations. The revives, knockdowns, vehicle entry, and executions all on first person were awesome. The revive animations in 2042 are so lame and not impactful in comparison but they are looking more to BF4 for inspiration there I guess.

Foehammer007 posted:They also take 5 minutes to get through the animations and you are just stuck in the animation or you'll fail the revive No, it takes 5 seconds or so and you can cancel the revive if you need to. As a medic it's even faster. This kind of poo poo is so frustrating. This meme poo poo propogated by people who don't know what they're talking about ruins the conversation. Yeah BF5 is not my fav but of all the games released it had the best shooting and is tied with BF1 for best animations. All I wanted from 2042 was BF4 with BF5 animations and gunplay. We're getting something halfway between but it should still be fun once they polish it up.

It's Dice so who knows, but I'd expect a community post this week or next talking about what will be fixed by release and addressing some of the main complaints. I was reading some devs have already commented on some of what is already fixed along with plans for sliding/jumping spam and team readability in the clone wars. Right now it's all scattered across Reddit and Twitter.

I've gone from definite purchase to hesitant about even picking it up on sale. Hopefully hazard zone is cool. This is wild to me. BF1 guns have all sorts of weird weapon bloom and bullets not going where the sight it. 2042 shooting felt fine depending on the attachments and recoil. Maybe I got lucky and dodged more bugs there.

This is all speculation and his reporting before beta was all about how great everything was shaping up and how things were ahead of schedule. Seems like he just goes with general community sentiment for clicks. Edit: People are speculating the MW2019 feature they loved was Operators allowing them to monetize skins better. Not sure I buy that exactly. Halo Infinite will make bank with customizing your Spartan without attaching characters to it, but it is a trend in gaming so maybe.

Still desperate for some modern day BF so I'm playing BF4 right now. Coming for a full weekend of 2042, BF4 is a real mixed bag: -Guns sound and feel horrible -Vehicles feel more solid and weighty -UI markers for who has ammo and health etc way better. So for me to be happy at least at launch would be make fix the UI team stuff and make the vehicles not feel like they're filled with helium and that'll be the bare minimum.

Most that I watch like Jackfrags, Stoddeh, Westie, and Silk sounded cautiously optimistic. Had fun with the beta but acknowledge it's buggy and there are things missing. General vibe seemed to be UI and vehicles need fixing. Shooting felt good. Specialists may or may not work out. I hope they put out another beta or at least some gameplay video of improvements in early November. They're probably looking at the survey data and figuring out what they need to address.

I'm really hoping DICE doesn't overcorrect and shoehorn in too many restrictions on players. I know people say lack of classes is why teamplay was dead but I really chock that up to a bad UI. You could not see who had and who needed ammo and could not use the comm menu to request. There was also a lack of feedback when doing team friendly stuff so even just having points pop up on the UI again when doing those tasks might be enough to get more people running support gadgets. Even still, I just played a round in BF4 where my squad was 2 snipers, an engineer and me. Extrapolate that out to the team and you have similar teamwork problems. Meanwhile in the beta if you had 4 guys ready to work together you could get some cool diversity going and that was with only 4 specialists. I'd be really curious to see the full roster with a BF4 UI in place to see how the balance was. I guess we'll see where it goes but I worry we get another BF5 where there's a backlash and they second guess the vision and we get some half baked compromise that makes nobody happy.

This guy is frustrating to listen to with the way he constantly contradicts himself. 1. No way to tell friend from foe with all operators looking the same - IFF lights and UI fixes will solve that. 2. No way to identify players with Ammo/health boxes - UI icons will fix this. 3. Specialists do not incentivize team play. No reason to run ammo/health - This one is confusing when he just got done saying how much he needs to be able to see who's running ammo and health. Other notes: Operators are both too good, but also useless. He calls Falk's heal useless then in the next breath goes on to say how overpowered it is to be able to shoot the ground and heal yourself. He also said Casper's drone was both super useful but also too weak and Boris's turret is useless because it doesn't hold down an angle by itself. Boris' drone is good because it spots marks enemies, not because of the damage. Then his answer to all this is just copy paste the class system but open up all the weapons to classes. None of his gripes besides the specific specialist gimmicks would be solved by just going back to classes. It will be fixed by UI improvements.

Sedisp posted:It will not. The UI in BFV is a testament to just use the UI and the number one complaint is that it's impossible to identify classes and enemies and that is with skins that are faction specific instead of shared. UI will make it a bit better but there is no way to tell what class someone is at a glance and that's bad. It can easily fix these issues. They already said the comm rose will be there launch so when you call out for ammo it'll show who has it. Also for teammates they can add gadget icons on the hud when you look at them. For identifying enemies, there is going to be IFF lights (they are in the trailer too) and they can tweak the hud stuff to make the circles above heads stand out more. It's possible they don't do things right and it is still garbage at launch but the answer to these problems doesn't have to be generic soldiers and class system.

Paul MaudDib posted:isn't "IFF light" just a cute euphemism for dorito? I thought battlefield players hated that. No, that is 3D spotting and I hope they don't go back to that either. Spamming your spot button all game was dumb. IFF lights are these little lights on the soldiers that glow either red or blue. There's a couple examples on Mckay and Falk in the trailer. Black Ops 4 had it so you can watch some gameplay of that to get an idea. I have some screenshots but not sure how to post pictures here. Edit: https://ibb.co/SQQppGT Sedisp posted:Again. We have an example of this. BFV. Again the most common complaint in it is the same one worsened by the operator system. People are able to identify silhouettes quicker than whatever UI system you try to make. I guess I'm not fulling understanding what the complaint is. If it's just identifying if they're an enemy, the IFF lights and clearer dots on the UI will fix that. The reason I kept missing them in the 2042 beta is the UI blue blended in with the sky. If the issue is identifying what gadgets the enemy is running then I guess I'm ambivalent. There was no battlefield game where the class of the enemy really changed my behavior. If they were close enough to tell what class they were, I shot them. If they were further away and I could not tell what class, I still shot them.
