It’s weird how tribalistic people get about their favorite Battlefield. I love BF4 to death but BF1 is also fun (I hated it at first but it’s growing on me now that I’m giving it a second chance) and I like BFV a lot so far.

This beta didn't quite have the feel of B1, where after playing it a few days, I knew I was going to buy the full game. This one, though, I dunno. Weapons don't feel balanced enough yet, the two maps' control points aren't fun, and now with the addition of ammo and health boxes, Medics seem like an afterthought.

I'm glad they changed how squad orders work so I can accidentally set the wrong objective a whole lot. Looking at the point and pressing the stick in BF1 made too much sense.

It’s weird how intense the differing opinions are too. I couldn’t stand 3 or 4 at all outside of the sound design. I could never get a feel for doing well in them either. With BF1 I can jump in after months of not playing and always do well. Every match ends up being incredibly fun. I’m downloading the V beta now. Looking forward to that!

Venmoch posted: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. i honestly kinda hope they keep adding single player stories but its EA so they won't.

I heard my army man say something about "going beyond the call of duty" and I cringed. Other than that and useless explosives, the game seems solid

Did you try changing weapons in-game? I had the same thing happening. You have to exit and change your load out in the 'your company' screen and then when you join another game, you can spawn with your new weapon. Kilometers Davis posted:I’m downloading the V beta now.

I was initially miffed yesterday, but since then the game showed me a few glimpses of potential greatness. I didn't play BF 1, but the gameplay vids make it appear even faster and more random than BF V, while I'm someone who enjoys a slower and more tactical game. Crashing through a barricade of sandbags in a Tiger tank on the Rotterdam map and machine gunning everyone down while the rest of your team follows you into the cap zone, using your tank as cover, felt great though. But there are too few of these moments. The opposing teams don't really fight over cap zones, there is no real offense/defense gameplay when playing the regular Conquest mode, instead people cap, then run off to the next cap zone, while giving up the previous point. This makes the whole purpose of building up and fortifying a point kinda useless. Grand Ops seems to have the right idea though, but it seems to be hit or miss, depending on your team's individual quality. I really loved the idea of buildable fortifications and thought it would funnel players more towards each other, for longer and bigger fire fights, but instead the fortifications seem to hinder the defenders even more than the attackers, since they don't provide you with good firing positions. Sandbag bunkers with firing slits or trenches would be way more effective defenses, instead of these high sandbag walls which block your los. Same for the anti-tank guns, what's the point of towing them all over the map, when there are barely any targets for them? And there's a plethora of bugs: try towing an anti-tank gun with the Kettenkrad....fun times.....

I tried to play this but twice it decided I didn't get to respawn anymore so I quit. Seems fun but Christ I get killed super fast, and it runs like poo poo on my admittedly old system.

Man I don't know if I care for the flow of this As a tanker this loving suuuuuucks So hard to kill poo poo. Your poo poo gets pushed in by a panzerfaust like it's a loving panzerschreck. I get the idea of making you resupply at ammo depots but when every fucker can respawn with a tank vaporizer like it's free quarters day at the arcade your armor just becomes that much more aggravating to obtain and use considering they still have the bf1 style click spam system

I've had good fun with the tanks so far. Pretty easy to mow down infantry with the MGs. The main issue I've had so far is that no-one rebuilds the supply depots after the blow up. The sturmtiger is hilarious. Super clumsy and easy to swarm, but that massive cannon makes it all worth it. Gives you multikills for days against infantry and will usually 2-3 shot tanks. I will say though that it's much harder to be aggressive with tanks. You really need a full crew and some infantry support to push, so expect even more tankers to camp on hills. lambskin fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Sep 11, 2018 |

Maybe this should signal the return of the goon amateur rocket club. AKA shooting volleys of rockets at tanks. That was the most fun I've ever had in BF4, raining RPG's on tanks and bird lords. I mean who are we kidding, I doubt pubby teams on release day would be that coordinated.

It takes what? 5-6 Panzerfaust hits to kill a tank? If you let your tank end up somewhere that it can be hit by 6 panzerfausts before you can get to cover/support that's your own fault

Okay I only got to play from tre hours of 3-7 and I was usually rolling with the default tanks which I assume were slightly better than a Sherman medium tank. Those things got torn to shreds in two panzer shots The heavy tank didn't seem to fair much better unless they were less heavy tank and more AT tank with non armor Thing is when I went head to head with a tank it was your standard battlefield 5-6 volley Alan Smithee fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Sep 11, 2018 |

Tanks should be strong, but penalised hard if they overextend. This is done in previous games by having areas where vehicles are king, and areas that are a bad idea to go. Or in modern combat with scary lock on rockets that scare tank drivers. Tanks should be able to kill 10 people in the wrong place in the wrong time. Tanks are already limited, not everyone can spawn in one. Further nerfs would just disolve then. If tanks are useless power armour, then the game needs to give tanks good speed, so they can act has glorified apc.

Tanks don't feel to strong to me. Honestly, if only the thing different about this beta had been "panzerfaust is the rank 1 Assault gadget" I don't even think there would a conversation about tanks being too strong. It's kind of like how in the Battlefront beta AT-STs were killing machines and the Rebels could barely win one match out of ten because they couldn't down the walkers. It wasn't because of any true imbalance, it was because nobody unlocked good AT options until after several rank ups, combined with general ignorance of the stationary AT weapons that quickly disseminated after release.

And the other time the depot wasn't even destroyed, just repairable

Brilliant marketing move to release the bf v open beta and tell people they get 10 percent off from preordering from bf1 then putting bf1 on sale for 5 bucks and throwing in the season pass for free to really drive the point home. Guess I'm playing bf1 till v comes out okay i get it dice you win
