God I hate the menus in this game. Please tell me these are just placeholders and that launch won't look this ugly. Edit: also whatup, I haven't played a Battlefield game since BF:1942. Is the apparently-gigantic BF1 community going to move over to this like in any other annual-installment shooter? I know BF1 was massive on consoles, how big was its PC audience? Or is it looking like it's going to go the way of SW: Battlefront and be impossible to find full matches 2 weeks after launch? Drone fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Sep 9, 2018 |

Big reminder that this is the Battlefield 1 console thread. Just in case someone is confused by the thread's title but the icon is PS4/XBOX still. Check the OP if in doubt.

Dont know if youre console or PC but I saw the key binds when i was in the menus to change the vehicle controls to veteran. I feel its not clear when to throw stuff to teammates and what to throw them. I have to get my reticle right on an ally to get the toss prompt and its tough because everyone is moving constantly. I think Im throwing health but it says ammo every time

Yeah when I play medic I throw both ammo and health at people. Not sure if that's a new feature or a glitch. I'm actually quite liking bf v though. At first I really didn't enjoy it but it's grown on me. It's a nice change of pace from the meatgrinder chokepoints of bf1.

I noticed that on xbox you can easily refund RDR 2 with a click of a button but for BF V the cancel preorder button is missing. (in Canada at least)

What would a period-appropriate replacement be for the Henry-Martini? Whatever that is I hope they add it to the game. That gun is so satisfying to use, even when you're bad with it.

Am I the only one who thinks the Grand Operations seem incredibly lame? And I'm not talking about anything specific to Narvik, but the structure of the mode itself. There is seemingly no consequence to anything. In BF1 your performance on a given wave/map would affect the next. If the attackers cleared a map on the first wave, the defenders would get a behemoth. Progress on one wave would carry over to the next. Clearing a map with a single way had to play off the limited momentum available from ticket regain. Or even in Battlefront 2, the flat +50 tickets per objective cleared made an impact. If you cleared an objective with 50 or more remaining, you would top out at 100 and feel good for the next objective. If you barely scrapped by at 5 tickets left, you'd only have 55 for the next objective and the pressure was on. There is none of that here. I haven't seen what happens if the British get literally zero objectives accomplished. But on Narvik the difference between one gun destroyed on Day 1 and all four guns destroyed is about 30 extra tickets going into Day 2. That's on top of a base of 350 tickets. It's less than 10%, and as far as I can tell there is no other effect. You get some throwaway dialogue that's either "our fleet is cool man" or "yo our fleet got shot up" but it's not reflected in-game in any meaningful way at all. The same thing happens at the end of Day 2. The gives the overwhelming impression that Day 1 and Day 2 are essentially pointless and all that really matters to determine who wins will take place on Day 3, which only affected by a token amount of ticket change. It's lame, it's boring, and it's distinctly worse than both BF1 and the Battlefront series.

Bingo! That's how I figured it. What do you have to do to actually unlock weapons? I can pick them, but then I can't spawn with them. Somebody else mentioned a similar problem, but I know people can use them, I get killed by them often. Am I doing something wrong or is it merely beta jaggyness.

They really don't want scouts to do anything, do they. The rifles are trash, their mine doesn't even do 100 damage, their spotting feels like it barely helps and they barred their most useful tool until rank 8, which will be a long tedious road if they keep this balance. Edit: I'm getting to the point where the more I play the game, the more I'm disliking it. I went back to BF1 inbetween rounds and it's night-and-day. The movement is just as awkward as 1's but the animation priority gets in the way more. Being able to crawl on your back and jump through windows is a net plus. But it just doesn't feel like it changed. The gunplay feels worse. The sound design doesn't have any satisfying clicks, assault rifles are overpowered, sniper rifles are terrible (I think it's the bullet velocity being insanely low and no sweet spots). I hope this is an older build of the game and they polished it up more since. But if this is locked in and what they release with, woof. Hard pass. I like the idea of customization and all that jazz but if it's in the service of that gameplay we're getting then no thank you. Building things up is fun and good but I just don't enjoy the shooting at all and every gun has such little oomph to it and the TTK so high, it just isn't very satisfying, even when I'm doing well. Why can't they just copy and paste BF1 into V, add the QoL, remove the 3d spotting except for scout and leave the gunplay as is. Maybe one day they'll patch up this mess to reach BF1's levels of fantastic, but until then I won't be getting it. Jimbot fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Sep 10, 2018 |

I dont like the spotting tool but the flare gun has been incredibly useful ime. Agree that the bolt-action rifles are pretty much trash in the betas weapon meta, but the ZH-29 is borderline OP. Its the gun everyone would be bitching about if the StG wasnt even more OP. Chazani posted:Support has the three-barrelled shotgun which is a fun Henry-Martini replacement.

Is the ol butt clan still operating on ps4? I've been playing on PC with my controller and it is a good time but I miss screaming with 8 goons in PSN voice Finally got do some flying last night, was v fun after doing the ol set-my-goddamn-sensitivity-while-inverted-midair battlefield thing. Is there a bomber sight like in BF1? I know I'm slow and dumb but DICE also loves to prank me with non working controls and features so

I find spotting people as recon to be pretty cool. It helps that you don't have to press a button, as soon as you see an enemy they are marked. Sometimes I'm able to mark entire squads and seconds later a ton of binocular assists roll in.

I know that the British bomber has bomber sights, but I haven't tried it with the other planes. You have to be in first person mode to use them. I think it was either down or up on the d-pad if you are using the veteran control scheme.

The British bomber has sights, though without scouts spotting for you it felt impossible to tell where to actually hit. I mostly just guessed and got some lucky hits. The German bomber however doesn't, so I'm really not sure how you're supposed to land any hits with it other than pure luck at that point.

My last BF games were 1942, Vietnam and BF2, I haven't played any of the franchise since then, except for a single day in the beta of the Star Wars game. I have some real issues finding my bearings in this game: death seems sudden and random and the vehicles aren't much fun either. I try to follow my squad, take objectives, only to be gunned down from behind or blown up by stuff I never saw.

Dapper_Swindler posted:https://www.pcgamesn.com/battlefield-v/battlefield-5-war-stories-the-last-tiger If they keep adding "War Stories" to the game after release I really hope they include The Battle for Castle Itter because the whole battle is an amazing story to end on which includes a French Tennis star, running a gauntlet of SS machine gun fire. Plus it would also make the CHUD's super angry. Regarding the Beta, is anyone else missing the ambient music? Battlefield 1 would have epic musical swells whenever you'd move onto a new sector in Operations and Grand Operations seems to have nothing. It seems like such a weird omission. I was also disappointed to find that they've got rid of the native languages in the Briefings because that was something that Battlefield 1 did so well. To be honest, I found most of the sound fairly underwhelming apart from a few stand out moments such as a V1 flying in, or the sound that greets you when you stand at the plane door. I'm hoping its something they've done to keep the size of the beta down, but I guess I'll find out when the game launches. I think I'll wait to hear more about the other weapons and class sub-types they've got planned because in its current state, the whole thing feels like it needs a little more time in the oven and more like a "rough around the edges" Battlefield 1 mod rather than a full blown commercial game.

Apparently DICE knows about the sound bugs and are working on it. I'm not sure if I've played a DICE game that didn't have really good sound design.
