I miss this game, had a real good time playing. I think my main complaint would be the maps aren't all that great. Some are good, but when you get to the small urban maps with a couple hundred people, it's hard to do anything at all. Also it can be hard to spot people, but that seems kind of intentional. I am also not a big fan of the bleed mechanic. Other than that, I think it's really fun and unique and the shooting feels pretty tight. It has this squad mechanic that feels like you should be hanging with your squad, but no one uses squad mics, everyone is always in combat so you can't spawn on them, and no one uses the spawn beacon. I am a bit worried that this game is popular as more of an anti-2042 meme than something people will actually play and stick with. A PC only shooter with large player modes, and low poly count with a fast ttk may be a tough sell in the long run when people get tired of being mad at 2042.

This game has a 48 hour play test right now and goes in to EA on the 15th. They announced it in game which was pretty cool.

It's also the most fun I have had in a FPS in a long time outside of Hell Let Loose, it really is a great game with great mechanics. Also already 30k people playing, wow.

Frontline is a really fun mode, surprised more people don't vote for it. It's a nice break from the merry-go-round of conquest.

Does the game auto-assign points to squads? Seems like it always has a point ready so I doubt the SLs are all that on the ball. Is there a way to change the assignment? What is unique about the SL loadout? I see people stuck as SL being medic or whatever. Edit: Looks like the SL gets a couple unique gadgets like the drone, also seems you can middle click a point to have it marked for your squad. Space Jam posted:Pings and a minimap would help, yeah.

i still like Battlefield games and I am glad there is a market for more than just Dice games, no one makes games like this except Dice and the slightly similar Hell Let Loose.

I like unlocking stuff over long periods of time, really the attachments aren't all that different once you have a sight, at that point it's just trying out new things, so I think it's fine that they trickle in. The close quarter sights are all really similar so it's just preference, the ACOG lets you put a sight on top which is nice since the side mount I think it terrible.

K8.0 posted:The proxy chat seemed fun at first, but is a really huge problem TBH. It massively disincentivizes teamwork because talking alerts every enemy in the area to wipe your squad. Organizing a squad outside the game is already an inherently massive advantage, getting to have VOIP that doesn't give you away to the enemy team is incredibly OP. The only mid-range scope I used was the ACOG since you can put a red dot on the top, but I realized that the 4x is mostly garbage and I can kill easily at 200m with just a 1x.

I feel like people are confusing local chat for the local chat that happens when you kill someone and they get an open mic.

I think the game ran out of server space today, it was having issues making new servers for a while. I can't believe they hit over 70k.

I find it weird people use local all the time, but squad chat may as well not exist. It's like pulling teeth to get people to talk in squad. I guess its because the game is super fast paced and strategy gets thrown out by most people.

It can a lot of fun to spar over one point, like 12 rats said, put a rally down at their first cap point and have small skirmishes all game. I also like just being in the midst of 250 players in frontline but I just like massive amounts of players in shooters like this, it gives everyone lots of targets.

Pasha posted:Oh, if the game puts me in a squad I stay in it. Sometimes it doesn't though (or maybe I get kicked out? Who knows ...). If I am in a squad I usually just act as a mobile spawner (ie, I find a hiding place to lie down and sit there the rest of the match). If I am not in a squad I will run around and knock down walls with my hammer (probably not super useful). Edit: Why not just join a squad and follow them around as a medic if you have no interest in the gun parts of the game? Rusty fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jul 2, 2023 |

I played support really for the first time recently and didn't realize it came with armor. I kill this guy where he clearly headshot me, but I ended up killing him. he called me a slur for having armor which I had no idea I had even equipped. Also wasn't sure the process for reporting and I forgot his name.

I just hate toggling the stuff on and off. I used a tactical flashlight for a night map and it sucked since it started on and went off when you shot, so every time you spawned you had to toggle it to off so it would be on for shooting. Maybe I am doing it wrong, but I assume it's to blind people when you shoot them and not to give your position away when you are not. Edit: game is so good, just got done playing for four hours and quit because he servers started melting down Rusty fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Jul 3, 2023 |

The smoke launcher is fun to block line of sight for a whole team just standing there, it tends to get people to move forward and you can block out a really large area. The smoke doesn't seem to last as long as smoke grenades though.

I'm level 70 and just played a map I have never played. It was really red and had shipping crates. For the last two days I just maxed out the AK-15 and I think so far it may be the best gun for me so far. The M249 is good, but situational, you don't want to have to ADS fast with that.

I used the Vector for the first time and it is insane, but it is only the best gun at short distances, any AR seems better at ranges longer than 50m. Super fun though, I'm using it while it's not nerfed.

I tell I am squad lead by the indicator when I have one of the points lined up. I like SL since I can always have a rally up, and it's easy to get more points to get new rallies. I got the Aug a couple of days ago but I want to finish getting everything for the vector, but seems like the Aug is a good mid-range AR, but not competitive at close range when everyone is now running the Vector.

I think the Aug is my favorite gun now. Vector is good, but I got all the unlocks and I think I just like ARs better since you can get that three hit kill passed 50m which the SMGs just struggle with. Also finally played the MultiuIsland map and it was okay, but had to use the server browser to get a game on it.

When the official servers change to faceit, Linux will no longer work since that anti-cheat has no linux options, however community servers as I understand it will be able to use EAC, so those would work still. How this ends up though I have no idea.

Blowing up enemy vehicles nets tons of points, so the solo guys sitting in vehicles shooting are very good for my leveling. between blowing up vehicles and setting up rallies close to the back cap, I can level pretty damned fast. The back cap gets people there fast, so you can cap back and fourth all game. I think the full cap is worth something like 2600 points, and vehicles are not far behind, I think they are like 1k plus the shooter, nets you like 1400 +.

c355n4 posted:RPG Frag vs HEAT rounds. Which do you all use? Also I guess I have never used the guns in a vehicle, but like Battlefield, I mainly just play infantry. I tried the chopper MG and killed a few, but it isn't great for farming dudes unless you have a great pilot that is trying to get you kills I imagine.

I think though with the TTK so fast, they aren't nearly as impactful as the Gustav was and ADS is so slow, that if you see a guy and he's going to kill you with a rocket, you can beat him, even out to 200m as long as you have an AR.

Frog Act posted:I think the issue is mostly that the engineer probably also has an AR so the rocket is just another tool in the kit to complicate a mutual sniping - an assault is at a disadvantage being unable to fire off a rocket at the tree their foe is hiding behind while reloading with no alternative gain. I’ve definitely blasted a lot of guys with rockets after they started shooting me and either gotten the kill or we both died If anything, something needs to be done about mines and claymores. Like sure, keep them in the game, but holy crap some people fill up whole points with them, and it's not the mines that kill you, it's when you're clearing then out, someone else does lol.
