Respawns on BF1 are atrocious. Is like you spawn with a dude aiming already at your head. I admit that loads of BF4 weapons/attachments are samey compared to the weird BF1 stuff but 1's weapon balance is awful and some weapons are still broken as hell. Not even the M16a3 medics in BF3 are as broken as some assault weapons or the range for 1 shot body kills on scout rifles. I said it before, it doesn't help BF1 that half the servers are scouts and if you ever stop moving you're hosed. BF4 had skygods but there were more AA tools. BF1 planes should be weaker and not eat a hundred Burton rounds while they can still bomb you. If none else helps, a bomber can kill half a team in a single pass while in BF4 you could annoy them with lock-on weapons.

If being a sky lord means flying high enough to avoid AA fire (which is probably less than 10% of the people Ive spawned with as a gunner) then call me Zeus.

The entire support class is an AA tool, just look up and shoot at them Literally the only class without some sort of anti air is the medic. I swear they could make a gun that disintegrates planes by spotting them and people would still complain

I was able to play the beta for about 10 mins, Ill get to spend some more time playing this afternoon. It looks like right now you can only create squads via the friends list before joining a game. No joining squads during a match. I played as a medic and the health pack wouldnt deploy, or I was doing something wrong. The game feels pretty flimsy, if that makes sense, not sure how else to put it. Will report back when I get to play some more.

I did the whole "shoot two planes with LMGs" when the fever passed and was basically "use AA gun until is almost disabled and then unload a hundred rounds and hope you get the kill" for hours. One guy with normal bullets do nothing against planes and if it's a bomber it'll end with you getting killed in a matter of seconds. I'm not asking for a Dead Space 2 foam finger of death.

Most bombers I see are flying turds. They do less for their team than scouts. It's very rare to have both a competent pilot and a competent gunner at the same time. Plus all it takes is one volley of rockets from the bomber killer and you're taken down.

First impressions of the beta on X with a 1080p screen (4k broke while moving ) is pretty negative. Game somehow looks worse than BF1 and Narvik is a terrible map. Maybe I'm just tired of the same old formula though.

I dont get why DICE has such a hard on for contrast between pitch black shadows and blinding light. Everything is either too dark to see or too bright to see. Ive always had this issue to some extent with Bf games, but I CANNOT see enemies half the time, due to the crazy contrast of light/dark everywhere on the map. Im sure the beta will grow on me as I get used to it and learn the maps, but Im pretty underwhelmed so far.

I was having a pretty good time on Rotterdam but then had a glitch where I couldn't respawn in the dying minutes of a dead heat match. We then lost by five points of course.

RCarr posted:It’s hard to describe. Gunplay feels more arcadey, more CoD-ish. Definitely agree, gunplay feels very floaty. It's hard for me to assess it too harshly though because not having played BF on PC since BF3 I am now straight trash and getting dumpstered by most players. Will agree it can be tough to see players if the lighting is too harsh, though that feels more like a feature to change areas you fight from. edit: And the load times are slower than I would like on an SSD.

Using the more flashy things, then repeat the same flashy things. Showing concept art to talk about a new game mode (I guest is now only a plan for the future and not even the code is written yet?, what development stage is this thing you are showing me loving concept art?). the whole impression is this game is delayed, but they are not going to delay the release date, is going to be some Early Access game, minus the label. Maybe a good game even. Edit: the idea of concept art is kind of ridiculous, I understand and like the angle they are giving to the graphics, has a very small spin that is cool, but other than this small spin, is loving World War Two, we have real video of it and lots of movies and images to reflect from it. is not some fantasy land we need to visualize because we can't imagine it.

It all feels like a step backwards, particularly with regards to gunplay and overall graphics. I don't even mean level of detail on the graphics so much as... eh, I don't know how to describe it. Clarity?

I was just really disappointed in the way the beta played, and thats never happened before with battlefield for me. I hope Im wrong because I was really excited about BFV before this. Haven't played it mate. But I do have a lot of reservations based on the footage, and feedback like yours. It does seem to be... just not as good as BF1. This new trailer looked a lot better, the map with the flower covered houses in the French countryside and the North African map look great. Really not been a fan of the Narvik footage at all. Everyone says Rotterdam is better, but I'm having trouble seeing it, but I also didn't like the look of Amiens until I played it for myself so I've learned not to judge maps from footage alone. I hope it's good, and I'm in no matter what, but BF1 was as close to a perfect shooter (for me, and me alone) as it was possible to get. I do hate that so many people called for more customisation, more customisation and now I can barely tell which team someone belongs to at a glance. Hey, I liked the simplicity of 4 distinct class silhouettes per faction as I could spot enemy troops running across a field at 200m away, and know which type of soldier they were. I guess I'm back to looking for markers above their head to know if I should shoot them or not. (Jk, I'll just shoot everyone.) I'm also a bit leery of this themed areas of battle per season which feels like a bit of an excuse to give us 4 maps at a time only. After 2 expansions in BF1 there were over 20 maps to rotate through and that was grand. If we're stuck with a small selection at a time then fatigue could set in quickly. We all have maps we don't like, and it's fine to sit through it with your mates knowing it won't come up again for another 5 hours in Conquest. What if it pops up again 90 minutes later though? Eek. As I say, I'm in, I'm excited, but yeah I"ve got a bunch of things I'm worried about that I hope won't bother me in the actual game. Tempered expectations and all that. There certainly are a lot of small improvements I'm totally behind though. And worst comes to worst, I am That Guy who played the War Stories in BF1 to 100% completion, and then went back for multiple replays because they were Good and Excellent. I'll get my fun one way or another.

Whats up with spotting? Does it not exist in BFV? Looks like pressing the spotting button now puts a little marker on the spot you were looking at, which turns red if an enemy is nearby. Are the days of spotting a guy and having him be highlighted with a Dorito gone? Say it aint so DICE.

It could be nostalgia but the last time I liked infantry combat was battlefield 3. I was hoping they would go back that way for this, based on some of the comments in the vid. But the impressions yall have shared seem not the case. Ill see when I try out the beta on the 6th but Im a little worried now.

A3 was definitely one of them but I dont think it was even the most used. I had three or four that I would switch between depending on the map (G3 was my overall favorite though). Whereas in 4 and 1 I felt there were 1-2 clear favorites per weapon type that were overwhelmingly used.

I think BF original netcode was not infantry friendly. But they have made it progressively better and better. At the same time they try to tone down vehicle combat, but is a lost battle, because vehicle combat have no skill ceiling. So they have fun infantry combat in a game that is not really about infantry combat. A frigate with rows for rowers. This perpetual crysis fuel the identity of the game, I think, but is never going to replace CoD as #1. BF is always going to be #1 at being #2.
