Am I imagining this or is there 0 way to see what team somebody is on when they are on a parachute? The amount of times someone parachutes into a group of people and nobody notices it is an enemy until they start firing and kill one of the group is baffling.

I suspect its rather a massive brain drain coupled with the usual lack of documentation in every company these days because  and people recruited straight from uni developing every new iteration of the game."Cheaper staff, higher profit > quality product and legacy" is the theme across all industries these days. Dice were just already there 3 BFs ago. True thought leaders in that regard.

Rusty posted:I also just do not like how directionless it is. It's just people running randomly to points and no way as far as I can tell as an SL to direct your squad like other BF games. No one heals, no one drops ammo, barely any revives, pretty disappointing. To be fair, an extremely important factor here is the broken squad functionality. There is no way to reliably join a squad and no ingame way whatsoever to join, change or leave one. And you can't pick a server. As such coordinating is basically a crapshoot that is miles away from a feature. So don't judge it based on what you see in this beta.

If you don't play with people on voicecomm who actually communicate, i. e. aren't your average pubby, the only way to know what your squad already has is by looking at the class.

Whatever HZ is the one thing it isn't to me is a proper Battlefield game. Nothing wrong with that, but they should have made it a separate game. I have a feeling between the "main game", Hazard Zone and Portal, focus is getting lost and something will be less good than if they made a game that knows what it wants to be.

I tried for months to get an rx6700xt at a reasonable price to be able to play this game at more than 40 fps on lowest settings. Finally managed to snag one at MSRP on Thursday. I will definitely be there for the jank on launch day now.

It will probably be only 1 mode. My guess is Hazard zone. Less vehicles less jank to show.

I still have a preorder and that's not going anywhere. Beta was fun I just tend to not engage in hopeful theory crafting what will or will not be better. I'll take what I get, the settings is miles ahead of any "historical world war" in appeal for me. And I guess people with negative impressions are always more vocal in all areas. Not much to say if your impression was positive outside of "I had fun".

Of course you can min max and only play the objectively best specilist, and be angry because there is one that is best so now you can't play any other because it's not the best. Or you could not take a computer game that you don't play to save your life so seriously and play any specialist you want because they have a gadget that you think is fun.

What if Portal allowed us to play the new maps with the old class system from 4? Dice nerfed some of that to pieces by now but might be fun.

If you are worrying about the "meta" in a BF game instead of just picking the gun that gels with your personal playstyle you are doing it wrong imho. This his not some competitive COD try-hard game. And more importantly: Who cares what gun you are using while jihad jeeping anyway?

DrBox posted:They reused some art assets from BF1 and 5. You can recognize character models in the portraits. I'm surprised at how small the game download is still. High res textures tend to use a lot of space and I imagine there's a lot of them when building maps and models for so many eras. Looks like a lot of overlap on weapons between BC2 and BF3 though that saves some work Broke: using uncompressed high res textures Woke: using compressed high res textures  brain: upscale low res textures

My guess is once XP is re-enabled in portal, people will just flock to the 64 player maps in there. Right now all the big maps seem to have 2-4 contested points and the rest almost never change hands. And they really need to make it so you can play in a group with more people than just you squad. That is the biggest bullshit ever. We can't even have 10 goons on discord play on the same server. Why play BF at all if that's not possible?

Mr.PayDay posted:If I read the system monitor right, BF2042 uses 10 native/physical CPU cores on my system. I saw some speculation online somewhere that the PC port is broken and utilises only 8 Cores because the consoles only have 8 Cores and they failed to adjust it properly so some/all PCs can't properly use however many cores/threads the CPU has. I have a ryzen 5 2600x with 6 physical cores = 12 threads and it struggles badly. Haven't checked how the individual cores/threads are used though.

I am on a ryzen 5 2600x and 6700xt and using the config tweaks from that video I went from 50 fps stutter pre-patch to 80 solid (on wqhd) after. So even if they patched some stuttering I still gained a lot of fps.

SplitSoul posted:Starting to get annoyed by the drone bomb not doing damage. You need all 3 c5 on it and then hit the upper part of the vehicle: tank turret, AA turret, hovercraft rotor or passenger compartment, jeeps passenger compartment. If you hit wheels or tracks it won't detonate, you might even get stuck under the vehicle. tank body is also unreliable but touch the turret and boom. Haven't found a way to impact detonate on the Ospreys, I flew the drone into its sides and even the cockpit and it wouldn't go boom. Maybe the engines but those are very hard to hit.

You can call it "stoop to that level", or you can avoid unnecessary frustration by levelling the playing field until this is fixed. Up to you, but I'd rather do the second, this is a game, if you want to have fun, you better abuse the jank while the abusing is good *straps more c5 to his drone*

For me the biggest issues is still the inability to add more than 4 players to your party. This game is brand new and the number of my eurogoon group playing it has never been this low so close after release for a BF game. Even if there are 6 people playing at the same time, you can't even get all on one server. It's just no fun this way, especially since you can't make any difference on your own or even with 4 people against 64 others.

jisforjosh posted:This is the thing that took the most wind out of my sails. I knew Squads were stuck at 4 players because it's been that way since participating in the Closed Alpha but the fact there's no server browser for AOW just kills any ideas of massive groups. I was looking forward to reliving those launch BF1 nights of all of us in voice chat. Yeah squad size doesn't matter if you can reliably get people on the same server. I wouldn't be surprised if this is what makes people migrate to Portal in droves very soon.

Budzilla posted:So compared to other BF games on release how bad are the bugs? I've seen the videos but are they really that frequent? Not too frequent in my experience on PC. After tweaking the performance with the video in this thread I can play with a stable 60 fps in WQHD and while I have played a good bit, I only had 1 instance where I couldn't be revived, 1 where I couldn't let myself die or be revived and had to restart. The most frequent bug is hit registry but even that is not really bad. However, YMMV especially with a game and probably depending on playstyle.

I'll happily take increased speed in exchange for a larger hit box because nobody looks for you anyway.  as long as you are high enough, no-one cares. And being faster means it is easier to hit helos...However, robo dogs might be a problem with bigger hitboxes, they attack from miles away and have pretty good aim.
