RCarr posted:Its hard to describe. Gunplay feels more arcadey, more CoD-ish. The graphics somehow look worse than BF4 and BF1. 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. fwiw I was pretty so-so on the beta for the first few hours but as Ive put in more time and adjusted to the gameplay changes Im starting to like the game a lot. Completely agree with you on it being difficult to spot enemies, although weirdly thats only an issue on console for me and I can see them just fine on PC. Probably just need to tweak some graphics settings in-game and/or on my TV.

I'm sure playing the full game instead of just a small sample will be infinitely better.

Really enjoying the beta so far. The only real criticism I've had is that it feels like the conquest flags flip very quickly. On points where there's several vertical levels (like B and D on the snow map or A and E on Rotterdam), there's often not a lot of time to find the enemy to engage before the flag flips just on population alone.

The fact that I'm liking the beta this much despite it probably being a very limited version of what the full game will be has me very hyped for launch (which the beta makes painfully obvious why it had to be delayed).

It seems spotting was removed or at least significantly reduced? every time I try to Q something it puts a shield icon over where I aimed. I haven't seen anyone else's icons so I'm not even sure if I'm letting anyone know where enemies are. Then I tried doing some strafing runs in planes and I couldn't tell where anyone was at all since there's no spotting icons anymore so that really sucks.

Only specific gadgets give the old school spotting. No more easy Doritos, DICE mentioned it as a specific goal for the game.

You know, has there been any indication at all that the game will feature any nations besides Britain and Germany? I have to imagine the US will make it in because lol. But I haven't heard a peep or seen anything about Japan, Italy, Russia or anyone else, not even in their "Tides of War" preview for upcoming content. I think people have just been taking it for granted the others will be in. But I dunno, the customization scheme may rule all.

One of the pieces of concept art in the latest trailer was definitely German panzers on the Russian steppes. There's no way they won't be covering the eastern front. And of course we'll get US after D-Day, possibly also using them in North Africa mid war, and in Italy too. I'd like to think, but can only speculate, they'd go Pacific theatre too. They'll have all the US voice files (honestly the most time consuming part of adding a faction IMO), plus Shermans. The only thing putting me off calling it for sure is that jungle maps are hard to get right, and the Japanese have terrible tank options. I'd love a jungle version of Argonne for the PTO though, that'd own. I wouldn't even mind them being a bit cheeky, and replaying a couple of appropriate BF1 maps in BFV. Some locations have been fought over in multiple wars. Make it a limited event thing even, just update the assets to be appropriate for 194X and bill it as the Back to Empire's Edge event etc.

Captain Beans posted:Only specific gadgets give the old school spotting. No more easy Doritos, DICE mentioned it as a specific goal for the game. Is a worthy goal if it comes with something else. In consoles very few people press Q. Is teamwork, and teamwork is a unheard of concept. Anything that nerf teamwork (for the very few people that care more about the team victory more than personal score) can be a good thing if is to achieve something else. I guest this something else is a more "been there" feeling, where weapons feel like a complicate piece of iron you shot lead at deadly speeds... more than magic wands or pea shooters. I dunno, I love almost all BF games, and I love them greatly, It would be weird if this one is the exception. Tei fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Sep 6, 2018 |

This will only be the third BF game I've played but don't they all launch kind of buggy, unbalanced, and not nearly feature complete after a somewhat underwhelming beta? As long as it hits that same BF sweet spot between action and scale it'll probably be fine.

My spies say that yes, not only that, but alpha/betas usually have very littel of the final game kits, so you can only appreciate the game once is released, the beta is a poor man version of it. Anyway the news-piece is not that. A underwelming demo. But the lack of hype for this game. They have yet to show us something that have us saying "Yay, I want that!".

I've put a good amount of time into the beta now and it's just not good. I'll probably get the game just in hopes it's a better product than this, but man am I disappointed.

trying to play with friends is seriously frustrating, how do you fix it not letting you change squads at all? and randomly splitting squads in 2? game is fun when it works. the low ammo supplies are kinda weird.

I want evil turks in my videogames. Evil turks was enough a thing in some point of story that we had a evil turk with fez in one of the indiana jones movies. If BFV allow me to use a fez while I drive a panzer, it will be worth it, even if we all end in femnist extermination camps where males are exterminated before the end of the year.

I will say that the default LMG is bad. 25 round mag and it takes forever to reload it because you have to admire the shape of the stupid magazine first. Having slow look while ADS will take getting used to.

Getting rid of spotting was such a bad choice. I tried being a recon and using the spotting scope as much as possible, but it just seems like a total waste. Half the guys I spotted, I would have been better off just shooting. And spotting, then switching to the sniper to shoot takes too long and is pointless. Spotting was probably my favorite feature of the BF series and it physically pains me that it's gone.

Spotting was probably my favorite feature of the BF series and it physically pains me that it's gone. I also love spotting. But DICE has been making the same game since 1942. For BF to continue existing, BF have to shake up the formula with every version. I am repeating myself, but maybe is worth it: is okay to drop a cool feature, if you add another cool feature at the same time that require the other to be removed.

I mean personally, I would rather they keep it the same gameplay wise, and just make new maps/weapons/vehicles/gadgets each game. The game play is perfect, that's why I love the series. What is the cool new feature they replaced spotting with that makes it ok? Because I haven't found one.

The KE7 LMG becomes very nice once you purchase the upgrades but before that it feels awful unless on the bipod. Once I bought better hip fire, higher fire rate, less vertical recoil and faster ads it becomes a much better gun.

They kept all the crappy thing about the LMG but took away its one defining feature - magazine size. I also really don't like the new squad size. 4 people is bad. Edit: Despite my complains, I'm really enjoying it. The rhythm is different but aside from a few issues, it's a good Battlefield game. I do hope they add in the Henry-martini or the year equivalent because that game was really darn fun to use, even though I was pretty bad with it.

I rather like the beta, mostly because I dont totally suck at it, and the Sten rules. I also like that reviving someone feels much quicker than it did in 1 and it doesnt take up a gadget slot. Sure, there are some mad bugs, but its (and a beta).
