DoctorStrangelove posted:And they are working on a way to access the weapon upgrade menu in game, as well as set new assignments and use new guns that you unlocked in that game. Many issues have been fixed or are in the process of being fixed, DICE says they will have a big list of changes they are making from the beta to release, in the same vain as what they did for alpha->beta, some time after the beta's end. I was pleasantly surprised by how in depth the first set of Beta patch notes were. I'm actually optimistic for the post beta ones.

Mordja posted:So are most of the sights locked under some lovely lootbox/microtransaction system like I fear? You only seem to be able to get three fairly basic ones in the armory, but if you go to the customization section of your Company (and whoever designed these menus should be tried at Nurenberg) there are way more, including stuff like reflex sights and proper scopes. Also, The bugs are infuriating and numerous, and the UI really just gets worse with every game. Please DICE get right of the HOLD BUTTON FOR 8-12 SECONDS TO DROP OUT OF REVIVE because everyone hates it. Also never being able to hear enemy footsteps almost seems like a bug because it doesn't make sense.

I just want the time I waited for a medic subtracted from my respawn timer. In fact, if I wait the full duration, give me a bonus speed up to the respawn timer.

There's a lot of sound bugs in the beta. Battlefield has been about awesome audio cues and I can't imagine them taking that out for BFV.

Once I ran across a road on the snow map and just got rammed head-on by a halftrack driving perpendicular, which I never heard It's super weird having that happen with war tapes on since BC2 war tapes did the opposite and made vehicles really loud from far away.

I think the biggest bug I ever ran into (apart from the ol critical death spawn issue) is the shotgun randomly levitating about 6 inches above my soldiers hands so it's impossible to use the iron sights for the rifle, it broke my pistol as well. Love the game, love the ammo and health changes, it's all good good good! hitting headshot after headshot with the Kar98 is so satisfying, also taking out the tracks on tanks fucks them up making it almost impossible to steer it's a nice touch. Speaking of tanks them being so loud is amazing except for when you can't hear your squadmates over voip/ts/discord.

Snipers who grab the bomb then stand in the back sniping are going to hell. Also protip that I stupidly didn't know: ANY class can revive, medics just do it slightly faster.

Kerosene19 posted:Didn't realize how much I was depending on doritos. Eyes wide open now. I don't mind the lack of icons on enemies. It means you actually have to pick them out of the environment instead of just tapping the spot key until they light up. That said, everyone should be able to spot enemy vehicles though. I don't think you need to be a trained scout to say "Holy poo poo, there's a tank over there!"

If you suppress an enemy as support, it marks them with a moving red diamond for a second or two, or maybe as long as you keep them suppressed, which is really cool.

The first day of the grand operation seemed really bad. Having to pick up bombs instead of just letting everyone plant like in Rush, when the bombs spawn way out in the middle of nowhere in clear view of five enemies, seemed really terrible. So did spawning in the planes making you wait three times as long to do anything as if a squad member spawn was available. I also died right after being revived because it made me do the idiot bomb pickup animation as soon as I was up, since I was carrying it when I was first downed. And one of the bombs bugged out and couldn't be picked up at all, so we were stuck doing it all with one bomb. Although that's not normal. I did it 1 time for the dog tag and then went back to conquest since it's so much better. The grand operation felt like the "one side gets to camp while the other one has to make it across a miserable no man's land" experience that happens sometimes in Rush wasn't considered bad enough, so they made it even worse Owl Inspector fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Sep 10, 2018 |

afkmacro posted:Plz don't nerf STG44 Yeah it loving owns. I don't consider myself amazing (at least not anymore since HL mod days), but this thing in my hands is like an amazing homing-headshot bullethose that just deletes in a few bullets from anything up close to a good distance away. I realize the game is beta so things aren't balanced and subject to change (rip cavalry ironman in BF1  ), but man it's so loving good, and actually I kind of think that's a bad thing since right now almost every Medic gun is "assault rifle, but significantly worse". There's a venn diagram that almost overlaps, but just worse, and there isn't really much to distinguish the medic guns and your job should just be swap to an STG as soon as possible.

I don't really get the ammo hate to be honest. Granted I've only played about 6-8 hours of the beta, but I can only really ever recall once or twice where I ran out of ammo on my primary and had to temporarily switch to a pistol. Then again, I don't spray and pray, and I also exclusively play medic, so  While it does feel cooler in a vaguely Red Orchestra way to have a slightly more realistic amount of ammo, I also don't really feel like going back to inflated amounts of carried ammo would be a bad thing.

Then again, I don't spray and pray, and I also exclusively play medic, so I can see both sides of it but not spawning in with full ammo is really dumb. It's like your soldier decided to grab a donut instead of some spare mags on his way into war. Also means you have to locate the nearest ammo pile immediately on spawn and deprioritize squad spawns (because we all know how likely getting resupplied by teammates is) Anyway I guess it's going to get changed so not much to argue really.

Nah, once you play enough of any BF game you should know the general spawn area for each flag. If you understand the map and follow the flow of the game you should know where not to spawn. Instead of spawning on a flag that is about to turn neutral because there are 20 enemies on it, spawn on the next closest flag.

Last night I was playing BF1 and I spawned into an uncontested flag. Game put me on a wide open hill side like 100m from the objective for some dumb reason and there was a sniper like 300-400m away literally already ADSed at my position and he domed me before I could even move. And that ain’t the first time that’s happened. Not to mention all the times I’ve been spawned with one or two enemies immediately behind me.

The fact that most players don't seem to understand even basic mechanics is definitely hurting the game right now. There's no cost to throwing out ammo/health and supports and medic should do so constantly. I've mostly played medic in the beta and I spam those kits at everyone who comes within 30 meters of me. You can also throw them quite far so you can just lob them out from a safe place. Also the smg's are kinda mediocre and I always pick up the first STG / gewer 43 / ZH rifle I see on the ground. I think I reached rank 7 on the STG without ever playing assault.

There was a brief period of time at the beginning of the beta when squads were broken such that everyone was on a neutral squad, so you could "squad" revive anyone on your team. Maybe that's what you're remembering?
