battlefield-6

[cedar briar]

would be nice to choose, but at least it isn't the diablo spend the money for you without agreeing

[hearty kelp]

i didn't want to do anything bp related is why I did it, I have legitimately zero interest in bp items unless they're permanent content like gadgets

[finite fern]

ikr 🤣

[hearty kelp]

which also sucks because I heard the hti is legitimately awesome

[torpid heart]

eh new map is terrible for shotguns

[charred rose]

Just go indoors there's so many tunnels and close quarters areas

[errant prism]

yes this was exactly the problem!! dude THANK YOU for this. I never would have figured this out on my own, no idea the nvidia app was even doing this to my games 😭 I've turned off the auto-optimising stuff, miss me with that

[quartz karma]

good

[elfin wraith]

How does Apex AA compare to bf6? Because from Apex stats: 60% of Controller players are more accurate than the top 1% of MNK players 💀

https://www.reddit.com/r/apexuniversity/comments/1r7vl7z/accuracy_stats_between_controller_and_mnk/

[vestal quarry]

nobody cares u givcing money to EA scammers

[cedar briar]

Aim is as good as you make it. people will complain abvout controller aim assist, but it's nothing to shout about

[trail nova]

do you guys also go to bed to watch politics on tv

[vestal quarry]

no

[trail nova]

[jagged jolt]

Aim assist is definitely overpowered but most console players are terrible so i have no issues performing on mnk

[sturdy spindle]

aim assist is the least overpowered thing

[warped harness]

lfg new map no bots be chil no kids hmu

[random oxide]

Not happened to me “yet”

[cedar briar]

if it was overpowered everyone would use it regardless

[elfin wraith]

The stats don't seem to agree 😅

[cedar briar]

Reddit isn't reliable for anything

[elfin wraith]

Ok buddy

[tight ingot]

Aight whats everyones opinion on the Mp7 im geniunely curious

[elfin wraith]

Sexy gun

[tight ingot]

W

Aight cause like a lot of people at least from what ive seen have been hating on it and im confused

[hearty kelp]

whatever you say dude, I'm just airing my grievances with what I paid for

[charred rose]

Meh I guess I gotta look into it maybe some weird setting I might have toggled

[cedar briar]

you can switch it at any time

[olive coral]

Looks great but I always feel like it's too weak

[cedar briar]

shame

[broken hinge]

Ok so I’m new to gaming, I play CoD and switched my input curve to dynamic, should I do the same for this game or leave it in standard?

[olive coral]

I literally don't understand any of the different aim assist options. I just put it on default and it's ok. I meant to look up an explanation of all of them but never got to it.

[cedar briar]

Have a mess about and find what one suits you

[olive coral]

I sure as hell don't want it to be on BF1 settings though. I feel like that game had no aim assist lol which is why I sucked at it.

[marble stag]

I just can't be allowed to have fun. C4 won't stick to enemy tank.

[crimson garden]

Penguin wishing for TDM mode in Contaminated map 😃

[marble stag]

Glad at least the new map is good, the bs is still bs.

[errant prism]

did the new update introduce new crashes?

[marble stag]

Not for me, heard some people about it though

[broken hinge]

Yeh dynamic might be the one for me

[errant prism]

the whole game just froze all around me, though I could still look around, and then it crashed to desktop without error

[vestal quarry]

wtf is this battlepass its so garbage hahaha please guys do nt buy any

[tropic horizon]

is there a fix for vehicle turrets yet

[charred rose]

Too late I barely even looked at it and bought it anyway

Gas masks = already cooler than s1 which I ignored completely

[vestal quarry]

good job moron

[crimson garden]

Penguin been helping some players since the update (Not many), and most crashes observed from Penguins end since update been due to players not having cleared the GPU drivers 3DCache before installing the update. Hope this helps friend! 😃

[dusky arch]

cant wait to see how bad the new map is in a few days 🙄

[tacit elm]

the fact climbing on roof of stage 2 point A on Mirak breakthrough isn't fixed yet...

[charred rose]

Im winning and having fun what are you doing just whining wah wah where's my anime skins wah wah

[vestal quarry]

im playing different games

games which actually require skill to play LOL

[charred rose]

Fortnite user detected opinion invalid

[floral rune]

I heard that fortnite is cooking an extraction mode

[vestal quarry]

imagine playing bf 6 in 2026 literally strategy game

[floral rune]

Ngl imma swap if they do

[vestal quarry]

fortnite>bf6 ngl

[tacit elm]

still better than bo7

[charred rose]

See I knew it

[floral rune]

I'm still crying because BF didn't make an extraction mode

I'm shaking

[vestal quarry]

bo7 is like 10x better then bf6 tho

[cedar briar]

smoke much?

[charred rose]

Would be pretty neat maybe that's why there's no solo redsec cuz they're making that instead

[vestal quarry]

bro i play fps games for 10 years and by far worst experience i had in bf6 where headshot multiplier is x1.37

[charred rose]

Bro mad being shot in the head hurts real battlefield fan

[vestal quarry]

imagine playign shooter where hitting head isnt rewarding LMAO

[floral rune]

They honestly need to make it, imagine getting dropped into redsec but with missions. You extract with the weapons you found and you start with grays if you get wiped out.

missions/challenges if you will

[marble stag]

Only cope on the new map is the terrible spawns on capture point F lol

[charred rose]

They're cookin it trust

[vestal quarry]

first they destroyed shooting after they started ruining movement at this point battlefield 6 is RTS game

[torpid heart]

whats with the obsessions with extractions and BRs...

[charred rose]

Just use a gun with bullets and not nerf darts

[cedar briar]

^ worse than some hs x

[proven fern]

Because they're usually free

[torpid heart]

and designed around dopamine addiction

[proven fern]

You are not wrong lol

[floral rune]

Its performance driven instead of objective driven

[cedar briar]

BF version of planetside would be good free game

[floral rune]

We've been trained to seek performance over the last 30 years

[tropic horizon]

they make it so that between the fights i start getting bored and distracted, stop paying attention, and die

[torpid heart]

nah, its dopamine driven

[modest jackal]

I think you're overexaggerating the Movement Speed Nerfs.

[floral rune]

Nah it would be zombie mode and such instead then

[crimson garden]

Penguin also been wondering the same thing. Many years ago Penguin was actually in a game team(For sound design), but simply had to run away from the project and leave it alone since the CEO of that project wanted to make things '' more like Fortnite'' 😢 That's how far it has gone, Penguin can confirm

[proven fern]

Which I don't understand. Why play any military style shooter just to try and have the highest k/d

[vestal quarry]

every single update they made is working towards reducing skill gap in this game

[charred rose]

Gotta put yourself in the right head space to sit in a closet with a shotgun for 40 minutes to win the battle royale

[floral rune]

Its the desire to seek self improvement and its just very easy to track if you gotten better or worse

[marble stag]

Straight back to garbage netcode, damn.

[olive coral]

BR and extraction shooters are streamer games

[floral rune]

So its just another KPI

[olive coral]

By that I mean there's a lot of drama and tension in them that's great for the viewer but just fucking miserable for the player unless you win.

[modest jackal]

This.

[tropic horizon]

i won a bunch years ago in warzone, but meh
honestly its mostly stress and dopamine near the end, otherwise its rather empty feeling
more running than gunning

[torpid heart]

your not chasing a good performance you are chasing the high of that 1 in 100 matches win, you THINK the performance is important but going 99/1 is less important then getting that win and dopamine hit

[tropic horizon]

only played battle royales because friends did

[trim mist]

is contaminated in the casual breakthrough playlist?

[tropic horizon]

same with hero shooters

[charred rose]

The fact that it is almost always you I see with the netcode complaints makes me wonder if you just have bad internet tbh

[floral rune]

Nah I am much more happy with my good games instead of my win games personally (I might be the weird one out)

[olive coral]

Best I ever did in WZ was 2nd place. Lol usually got there by hiding. I came in 3rd many times. Once I tried to pacifist it and I literally hid in a bush with a ghillie suit the whole match and got to 3rd.

[proven fern]

No, there arent maps with helis and jets in casual

[floral rune]

Because I can have a stale win and it just doesn't feel all that rewarding

[trim mist]

also, did they change the engineer icon? i couldve sworn it was a full hexagon last season...

[floral rune]

they did, I don't like it

[proven fern]

First game in a while they did and I'm not a fan

[olive coral]

I totally get that.

[torpid heart]

back to getting 60 DMR kills...

[charred rose]

Yeah the build up is kinda hit or miss. Some rly like it the sense of adventure traveling through the land picking up random crap to try and make it to the end but it can be dull if you don't rly immerse yourself like that and just look to the end of the journey just trying to win or do a mission goal.

[proven fern]

Its the head of a wrench but just not a huge fan

[marble stag]

I don't

[tropic horizon]

should had just made it a gear

[crimson garden]

Penguin can confirm. Battlepass & BF6 Paid for and worked ✅ = cool 😎 Nice like given at post

[trim mist]

neither do i lol, i thought i had the most insane mandela effect 😭

[floral rune]

yeah I liked the older one much better, it looks more like a bolt

[floral rune]

I was lowkey eyeballing it for a full minute

[tropic horizon]

it really should always had been just a gear

[olive coral]

See MW3 had a zombie extraction co-op mode... THAT was my jam, because I got all the fun out of "new match, new adventure, new loot" but without the stress.

[trim mist]

yeah it looks more like a wrench now but i still think its better if its a full shape, like the rest of the icons

[floral rune]

THIS

[proven fern]

It was for the longest not sure what sparked the change. May be something coming down the pipe for engi mains

[amber belfry]

some "people" confused it with the recon icon. somehow...

[floral rune]

Yeah.. it looks off compared to the rest of the icons now

[olive coral]

People hated on MW3 and it was deserved but MWZ was what I bought that game for.

[modest jackal]

Even if the Perks were watered down to the point of being nearly useless.

[weary depot]

How is the new lmg? If anyone even has it

[dim tulip]

I'll never understand why people queue for stuff like Dom & Breakthrough and then spend the entire match without touching an objective once.

[wheat wigeon]

Anyone else having a problem equipping the gas mask on controller settings??

[olive coral]

I wish BF6 had done a co-op extraction mode with bots instead of a BR

[proven fern]

I good flyer lol

[worthy cave]

or just focused on gauntlet

[floral rune]

PvPvE

[dim tulip]

Hopefully someone makes something like with Portal.

I'd love that.

[weary depot]

RedSec is so bad 😂

[modest jackal]

I heard it's very good.

[weary depot]

It seems like I’ll enjoy it. The m240L is a beast

[olive coral]

Even that. I mean Arc Raiders did it right with matchmaking aggressive players together. That's the way to do it. Put cooperative players together but there's still that tension of "what if they turn on me" to keep it alive.

[proven fern]

While I jest I understand your frustration. Its why I don't play nearly as much as I did on release. I can't find decent teammates that know how to bs as well as communicate

[olive coral]

From what we've seen out of portal so far I don't have high hopes that I once had before launch. Everything looks so roblox-y

Very amateur I mean

[floral rune]

Yeah that slight tension is amazing. You can fight through something almost as if you're working together but you have to watch your back at all times

[tired flower]

Haven't played it enough yet to say much, but if you like the m240, you'll like the new LMG. Feels very similar

[dim tulip]

I'd like a decent survival mode at least.

Can you progress the Battlepass on Portal?

[olive coral]

I don't think so because XP and challenges don't progress

[cedar briar]

if the experience shows it grants pass xp yes

[tired flower]

^

[olive coral]

I just do challenges on casual breakthrough because I don't want to deal with portal

[tired flower]

I know someone who is almost done with it after some portal farming

[hallow geode]

I like how the forest gets used in escalation with its own capture point

[olive coral]

I just rely on weeklies to get most of my BP progress

[charred rose]

Yeah being able to lose all your stuff you brought kinda keeps me away from extraction shooters. Especially when all your hard work can go cuz some guy was just laying in the darkest corner he could find waiting for you.

[hearty kelp]

out of curiosity why was the little bird shipped with no missile? it seems very strange to ship it with a secondary laser designator seat and even have it default yet nothing for the pilot to utilize

[olive coral]

Yeah that's why I don't like pvp extraction shooters. DMZ (from MW2) was fun at times but... Like the highs were high but the lows were fucking devastating lol

[proven fern]

You can but it depends on the portal server. On the right hand side of the screen before you click join/host. If the boxes are checked green you get full xp. If only one is checked and it's yellow you get match xp, your level, and if none then you get no xp

[olive coral]

I can't play a game that stressful. BUT like I said, for streaming... it's great for an audience.

[olive coral]

It's already OP I guess

[hallow geode]

You mean a lock on missile? Or a tow missile?

[hearty kelp]

still makes no sense

[marble stag]

I think 1.1Gbps/1.1Gbps 3ms should do?

[balmy sinew]

Yo the Scar in S2!!! 🤤 🗣️

[hearty kelp]

Lockon, like lock-guided

it would've been a perfect hand in hand tool

[hallow geode]

Did little bird have lock on in 2042? I'm drawing a blank

[olive coral]

Wym, we already have two scars? Or you mean it was buffed to being good or something

[hearty kelp]

hell even if it only had one and a long recharge

[hearty kelp]

Yes but no designator seat

[balmy sinew]

Like it feels better than before

[proven fern]

My bad I did not notice what you typed @dim tulip. You "should" be able to progress the battle pass on full xp portal servers, not 100% sure, but not on the otherz.

[olive coral]

Ah ok

[balmy sinew]

The rate of fire feels a lot better

[olive coral]

The carbine or AR?

[balmy sinew]

It wasn't that bad before. The AR.

[olive coral]

I remember haaaating the AR lol I got it to 20 for the first camo then said fuck this thing.

I constantly lost firefight trades with it.

[modest jackal]

What AR?

[olive coral]

Scar, or SOR I think it's called

Yeah SOR-556

That should be a 33dmg weapon, if it's not

[balmy sinew]

The Scar

Why does the M433 feel like the true m4a1? 😭

[modest jackal]

It's in 5.56, so it's a 4-5-6 Shot Kill.

[modest jackal]

Because it's related to it in real life, LMAO.

[olive coral]

I don't know a ton about guns but I think the DRS-IAR is related to the M4 too

It looks and feels like its big brother

[modest jackal]

Definitely.

[river ice]

I would like an active lean function like in siege instead of automatic

[balmy sinew]

The m4a1 recoil is still insane 😭 we need a low recoil fix for that gun.

[olive coral]

I think the M4 feels great

Before update anyway, did they alter it?

[modest jackal]

No? Wait, they did buff its Recoil a while back.

Now it's even more controllable.

[crimson garden]

Penguin says Battlefield also gave out nice Snowman weapon charm for sale during winter event ⛄

[charred rose]

I think my internet is somewhere around there it's pretty good and I like never have latency problems idk why you do

Either I am entirely oblivious to the latency that is never a problem when I get kills or the entire fanbase is lying about netcode and given what I have seen it is definitely option 2

[marble stag]

You tell me, my internet is fine lol

[balmy sinew]

I seen that lil charm on your gun xD

We need a Penguin charm than the game will be complete xD

[olive coral]

I was wondering why the snowman react earlier lol

Penguin charm would be fantastic

[charred rose]

My internet is also fine and when I miss my shot it's cuz I missed not because magic lag

[marble stag]

I will literally hop into a match, do absolutely fine. End up at something like 13/1 and then it all just goes to doodoo. Shots stop registering, my grenades don't do damage, C4 only suppressing and not doing damage to infantry.

[dawn musk]

M433 actually so good

[marble stag]

Tows or RPG's phasing through vehicles, name the bs lol.

[tawny pebble]

ya figured this out shortly after they came out with the app was doing it to a few games where it was very noticeable that things were changing on me. Tried manually setting what I wanted but found some games when they update broke that so I just removed them from the game list no more issues glad that fixed your BF6 tho

[crimson garden]

That could also fit Winter theme too Penguin says 🐧 Snowman still cool 😎 & fully approved ⛄

[dawn musk]

Laser accurate and fast fire rate people are melting

[balmy sinew]

They spoiled us last season Winter event pass, 2 m433 skins!? 🤤 🗣️ 👩‍🦲

[modest jackal]

Yeah, the high praise it has is now finally justified.

[marble stag]

The least annoying but most experienced thing is headshots simply not registering as headshots. I'll shoot someone who literally only has their head showing above a concrete barrier, and they still register as bodyshots :')

[dawn musk]

I just went 36-2 with it

[modest jackal]

Nice.

[crimson garden]

The winter skin for M433 skin = cool Penguin thinks. As for the Winter/Snow & Ice vehicle skins, Battlefield still lacks having released enough winter maps to actually put to use the winter skins in Penguin opinion. Still having full understanding game team had to focus on getting ready and launching season 2 of course 😎

[rose vine]

what good

[dawn musk]

I use “shrouded”

The open beta blueprint is also nice

[amber belfry]

i love it and the m44

[amber belfry]

the open beta sgx shreds to

[dawn musk]

I mean for m433

[amber belfry]

i know, just saying

[dawn musk]

“Striking distance”

You guys use hollow point on in the m433?

I feel like it doesnt need it

[tropic horizon]

the one i never received, and support just doesnt do anything constantly asking if i still have problem, and as soon as i forget to reply they close the ticket

[amber belfry]

they do not care lol. i didnt get my season 2 for free but i did get my boosters

what are all beta rewards, the m433, sgx, recon skin and a dogtag. was there anything else? im curious if im missing something

[tropic horizon]

you jsut get copy paste message every few days asking if you still need help, and they continue to not do anything

[torpid heart]

actually liking the DB12 now

[tropic horizon]

i got half of them, and half of them are missing xd

[amber belfry]

haha i loved that

[brittle grove]

what’s the best smg rn

[torpid heart]

more then the KTS

[modest jackal]

I generally don't use Hollow Point unless it's DMRs or certain weapons with very High Accuracy.

[amber belfry]

scw10 for close range maps. p90 and pw5 are nasty

[brittle grove]

thanks

[amber belfry]

on the new dmr they are kinda good. but hollow points need either a point reduction or a buff

[gleaming cape]

anybody else getting additional challenges but they are not shown in challneges tab?

[amber belfry]

sl9 is a beam but low damage, not my cup of tea

[modest jackal]

Don't know why some players think the PW5A3 is mid and saying it's a worse SGX.

[cedar briar]

PW5 great anti sniper

[amber belfry]

did you guys see the new banner ingame? "ramming speed" actual peak

[modest jackal]

Aye, and that is what makes it kind of disgusting towards some players.

[gleaming cape]

also those challenges are not progressing but I am getting them when we pause the game in a match. they show up in challenges section

[amber belfry]

its lovely

[rose fable]

Sobek City has another heli now, and still no reload at spawn, why?

[amber belfry]

anyone know anything about the background/banner "ramming speed" ive never seen it before. it has no description and idk how i got it

[neat reef]

S2 Thumb up or down?

[cedar briar]

its from the BP

[ionic meteor]

Rockets should kill people.. I should not be getting hit markers on damn near direct hits

[amber belfry]

ah okay, its actual peak

a jet ramming into a heli. like nature intended

[river ice]

What if they made it so you have more movement if you get less gear. Half the ammo/ armor = more movement for the movement goblins.

[tropic horizon]

if you mean rpgs they are already more than strong enough

[inland hill]

https://medal.tv/games/battlefield-6/clips/m95EHc2EpgEqmEj99?invite=cr-MSxoQkMsMTU4OTQwNzM4&v=56

if that was anyone in here im genuinely sorry

[neat reef]

Fixed an issue where the RPG-7 and the MBT-LAW launchers would be inaccurate if fired right after the zoom transition is completed.

[sudden chasm]

anyone else having issues with delay and hitreg? i've been playing a bit today and everything just feels off

[amber belfry]

yep, they dont go to the moon anymore

[amber belfry]

it feels alot better then season 1 for me, but every 1 in 5 games ill have a lobby where it just feels wrong

[hollow finch]

Inconsistent movement speeds between players that you can't visually tell apart would be stupid

[tropic horizon]

feels same on my end, some games are all wonky and weird, some are absolutely fine

[sudden chasm]

maybe i need to recalibrate my controller or something

[hollow finch]

Hated that. Also hated the bug where the launcher would fire when equipping it

[amber belfry]

eh, in bf4 some classes could have a 10% movement speed buff if your squad perks are leveled up. no one complained. you could NOT tell who had it and not at a eye glance

[amber belfry]

fixed to, but the rpg is now nerfed. monkey paw curled

[river ice]

Wdym? They would literally have less gear equipment. Like the vests the belts ECT. They can make it visual

[hollow finch]

This isn't bf4 movement anymore

[amber belfry]

it has more bloom so less easy to counter snipe. its slower to reload and ads/pullout. not sure if velocity got nerfed

[amber belfry]

just stating that it could/would work just fine.

[hollow finch]

I'm pretty sure it just wouldn't work

[hollow finch]

Yeah i don't think that's different enough with player skins and whatnot

[fervent yarrow]

Anyone else getting this really weird issue where BF6 crashes your whole PC if you go idle for more than like 30 seconds?

[amber belfry]

it legit just does not matter if its visable

[amber belfry]

steam or ea app

[fervent yarrow]

When I say crash I mean it literally freezes and I have to reboot my actual PC. It also moves my mouse to the centre of the screen a lot of the time

[fervent yarrow]

Steam

I've not played in over a month, but definitely never seen it until I started playing again yesterday

[amber belfry]

my crashes were caused by having the ea overlay off.. took me a while to figure that out

[hollow finch]

Depends on the movement buff.. too little and it would just be a useless addition

[fervent yarrow]

Turned off, not on?

I have mine off

[amber belfry]

yes thats what i said, it being off caused it to crash my whole pc. but this is a ea app specific issue. not sure it plagues ppl with the steam version since it bypasses the shitty app

[fiery grotto]

ATLETI 2 UP ON BRUGGE

[cedar briar]

EA app gone full circle, used to be the overlay on caused games to crash

[sudden chasm]

i found a new bug i guess, i can't die when downed

[hollow finch]

Idk, i'm just an advocate of consistent gameplay design.

[amber belfry]

it still can do, overlays tend to be shit and i turn all of it off

[fervent yarrow]

Seems it was actually turned on...

[tropic horizon]

did you undervolt

[fervent yarrow]

Will turn off and see if that fixes it

[fervent yarrow]

No for my GPU, maybe for my CPU

[tropic horizon]

it sounds like unstable cpu undervolt so check that

[fervent yarrow]

So I played for over an hour without issue with the detailed performance overlay in game and there was no indication that usage had spiked for anything when it crashed

But when I get up to take a piss, it would always be frozen when I get back to my seat

[tired flower]

When that was happening to me, I had to reinstall the anticheat. Haven't had an issue since

[tropic horizon]

unstable undervolts can be very weird when on edge

[hollow jasper]

Hey i see that the exploit where players can stay on aircraft spawn points to keep them from spawning is still present, wasn't this fixed a while back ?

[tropic horizon]

i did once manage really big undervolt that was stable under load, but leaving idle would crash
idle in game is different than full idle, or than game load, so hard to say

if you undervolted, just remove undervolt for a bit and see if that helps

if it does, just reduce the undervolt by a little

[golden shell]

can we put a 2 sniper limit in blackwell fields tdm

[modest jackal]

Or just rework Sniper Damage and give them Flinch Values...

[velvet kayak]

Who plays that map? I ignore it.

[brisk turtle]

ok ive been trying for ages, but how do you play on a custom server on your own to practice littlebird?, any map in the portal I try to use has no vehicle spawns

[golden shell]

its a good map when you avoid snipers

[hollow finch]

That's why you should adjust the voltage curve instead of doing a simple offset. Pretty simple for a gpu but gets way more complicated on cpu's because they don't use that advanced power delivery

[tropic horizon]

latest throttlestop lets you adjust it per ratio, but its still alot more work

[golden shell]

changing the graphics mode in bf6 doesnt seem to affect fps at all really

its always gonne be 100 - 120 fps

[tropic horizon]

it depends on what you change, its very cpu heavy, so many options reduce gpu load which is already having idle time due to cpu bottleneck

[golden shell]

what setting would you say uses more gpu?

[hollow finch]

That's pretty useless for cpus tbh.

[golden shell]

who is this ⁉️

[tropic horizon]

huh? no, thats actually really really good, and was really needed

[tropic horizon]

they are labeled in game somewhat accurately, i didnt dig much into it, i just reduced whatever said heavy cpu load

[golden shell]

👍

[charred rose]

Aim higher bullet drop probably is making your head shots neck shots

[marble stag]

Hardly affects it on shorter ranges.

Also physically being unable to hit anything but the top of ones head helps to rule that out.

If only top half of a head is showing, you physically can not hit anything but that part of the head and you get a hitmarker: it should be a headshot.

At times, in such situations, game still shows me the regular hitmarker and i don't get additional damage

[tribal zodiac]

My favorite tbh

[marble stag]

Only guns not affected are snipers, or so it seems to me

[hollow finch]

I'd say it's still a very dirty way of doing it. Meaning it unprecise and gains are left on the table. Modern cpus are pretty autonomous and they don't like running set ratios or even set voltages for those ratios. Different scenarios will be pulling different currents and at different intervals. You may have two high loads, one at 46 and one at 55. The one running in lower frequency may pull more current and need more voltage.

[placid wyvern]

Fed up with snipers not being flinched.

[marble stag]

It's the issue i run into the most, but it also doesn't bother me that much

Easy to ignore

[tribal zodiac]

I love seeing me physically get hit by a sniper round, blood come out of me and lose no health

[marble stag]

I have that happen with other guns quite often, except i'm on the shooting end sadly.

[scarlet hare]

guys how do i get the first mission of season 1 catch up

[placid wyvern]

That's just client-side desync, thankfully that one's only cosmetic.

[hollow finch]

This is where LLC would come in but applications cannot control that. When adjusting voltages it's usually necessary to adjust LLC as well to get good results

[marble stag]

@tribal zodiac Upped the K/D a bit more lol. Shame it's also showing the data from when i started playing dragging it down.

[safe brook]

My favorite part of BF6 is how the time to kill lies to you.
You pick up a 4 shot gun and hit someone at 25 meters and you get to see 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, hit markers and no kill and the kill feed says you did 53 damage to them

[marble stag]

Atm at 2.61

[tropic horizon]

im not sure what you are trying to say, but modern cpus do use dynamic ratios and adjust them on the go constantly going up and down as they please, and they operate best that way
the idea here, is that you will be able to drop more voltage at say 4.5ghz, than at 800mhz, so now you can adjust them separately.
The issue i described above, where it would crash only on idle, is solved with this, because i can drop 100mv at 800mhz, slowly go up to -150mv at 4.5, and then start dropping back down to 100mv at 5ghz, because that needs more also.
This is due to you adjust offset, and not setting a flat value for the voltage, and cpu itself already runs different voltage for different cpu speeds. voltage at 800mhz will already be very very low, and so reducing it by a big number like 150mv is death, but at 4.5 thats fine. Then 5ghz again needs more voltage, its base is higher, but its gonna have less room to reduce it

[lime peak]

Season 2 doesnt even feel like a season 2, just feels like a 4th month of season 1

[placid wyvern]

I wish this game would do what BF1 did and show you how damage drop-off behaves for each weapon.

[safe brook]

Sorry thats a legacy feature

[tropic horizon]

its much better than setting flat offset for all the ratios like we used to do before, it actually makes more sense do to it differently for different ratios

[marble kite]

Is it normal for my game to load a bit slow. With textures and such. Got a new gpu so

[marble stag]

What gpu

[marble kite]

5070ti

[tropic horizon]

and gives more precise adjustments for all speeds, so you can juice more of it and remain stable at the low and high end

anyway, i need to go sleep o7

[marble stag]

Slow loading as coming into a match or loading textures?

[marble kite]

Loading textures

[marble stag]

5070ti should do fine, even at 4K ultra settings, with DLSS

Check in your graphics settings if you're maxing your vram or getting close to it

[marble kite]

Its at 9352 out of 15995

[marble stag]

Sounds fine to be honest, how long are we talking with loading?

[marble kite]

Seems the same ish

Maybe a Lil bit longer

Like a few secs longer but nothing noticeable

[marble stag]

Like, the first time you get into a game?

[marble kite]

I think yea

[marble stag]

Is your game installed on an SSD?

[marble kite]

Portable one. Not the internal one

[hollow finch]

The cpu does not only control the voltage based on frequency and that's kind of the catch. LLC or loadline calibration is a curve to control voltage based on "load" or current. This is necessary to get a stable and good undervolts for those idle scenarios. It basically works with the voltage ratios

[heady gale]

.

[marble stag]

I mean it's speed can be impacted a bit if it's on USB, but if it;s USB 3.2 gen2 you should get very close to internal SSD speeds..

[meager temple]

Look how much DICE studio is out of touch:

DICE's Producer Phil Girette says #Battlefield6 Season 2 is "the foundation for future seasons" and believes it will bring back players who may have left after Season 1's extension.

"Season 2 is definitely bigger than what we have done in Season 1. We have the maps, we think they're going to be quite strong. We have the additional gameplay mechanics. We have popular vehicles coming back like the Little Bird. There's a whole new addition in REDSEC itself as well."

@gaunt arch its a joke right?

[marble kite]

Hmm how can I tell which is USB 3.2gen2

Maybe i plugged it into the wrong one. Cause I had to unplug everything to install my new gpu lol

[meager temple]

I like when DICE says that we got "the maps" Am I crazy?

[placid wyvern]

God sniping is too easy

[cedar briar]

normally by its colour

[placid wyvern]

Basically uncontestably by anything other than another sniper

[marble stag]

If you plugged it in like.. a usb 2.0 port you would notice a difference yeah lol

[marble kite]

Difference how

[placid wyvern]

e

[marble stag]

It being much slower

[marble kite]

Sooo prolly why?

[marble stag]

Usb 2.0 tops out at like 60MB/s

Or somewhere around that

[surreal wyvern]

new content locked behind a 30$ pay wall and no anti-cheat, thanks DICE, good update

[marble stag]

What exactly do you mean with no anti-cheat lol.

BF6's anti-cheat is very good

[modest jackal]

I rarely, if ever, see BF6 Cheaters.

[marble stag]

And how is a new season going to change the anticheat to begin with lol

[marble stag]

I've played 200 hours so far. I have seen one blatant cheater in my entire playtime in multiplayer.

[modest jackal]

Especially compared to BO:GW and BO:2.5.

[marble kite]

Yo Jay. I see 2 usbs that are red inside

[placid wyvern]

I've gotten four thank-you messages so far for reporting cheaters.

A little much.

[marble stag]

Did it state they were punished?

[tight prism]

What other lies can you tell

[hollow totem]

I think the bigger reason is that there's really no point in cheating

[placid wyvern]

Yes, my point is that it's a little much to have full confidence.

[hollow finch]

Here's a scenario, you're basically idling, and you're running a very low voltage.. since obviously you don't need very high a voltage for low frequencies. Now imagine the cpu suddenly gets a ton of work, that means the core is drawing a lot more power in an instant and the current going thru the core is very high. That high current increases the resistance of the core. It means voltages drop instantly, before the vrm has time to react. Now if the voltage was too low from the start you may end up with a voltage so low that the cpu just crashes then and there. This is why only adjusting ratio offsets is... Not ideal

[hollow totem]

it's a casuals game

[marble stag]

There's always a point in cheating

For cheaters, that is, and that's boosting their score or winning

[placid wyvern]

They value the victory, stats, or incentive more than the actual gameplay, which is sad.

[hollow totem]

Not compared to most fps games, they have ranked systems nd such

[tight prism]

They cheat because they are bad

[marble stag]

Doesn't matter for most cheaters

[marble stag]

Some cheaters are actually very good at the game, look at counter strike tournaments lol

[hollow totem]

It does tho. Casual + expensive game is a deterrant in itself

[marble kite]

I see two usb ports that are red. Are those USB 3.2 gen2

[placid wyvern]

Or to troll. Not any better.

[hot shoal]

It does not, at all. And if you saw all the drama that happened from bf6 release, you would know this

[crude sleet]

hi, do you recommend buying battlefield 6? is it woth it?

[marble stag]

I mean.. i don't know what else to say. Plenty of bad things to say about Battlefield 6, but it does not have a blatant cheater problem. The contrary actually. I

[cedar briar]

If you like Battlefield games and don't mind looking past the odd problem

[placid wyvern]

It's more the paranoia at this point. Cheating is almost so ubiquitous, especially coming from D2 and its cronus situation.

[hot shoal]

During my whole time playing, i only ran into one cheater. Thats pretty good

[cedar briar]

cheating is so different these days, i remember people flying around in BHD mowing everyone down

[placid wyvern]

That you know of. Survivorship bias.

[hollow finch]

Depends on the manufacturer, there is no set colors for usb bandwidth. Refer to manual

[marble kite]

Makes sense lol

[hot shoal]

I think it would be pretty obvious since i try to be the center of attention each game

[faint plaza]

so i take it the devs are never going to add a coop mode like 2042? been sat in a game for 40 minutes now and we only now started the match because of a lack of people.

[marble kite]

I don't have manual lol

[placid wyvern]

The majority of cheats are much more subtle these days to avoid detection.

[hot shoal]

Well he was flying so lol

[hollow finch]

For what

[hot shoal]

Make the cheaters mad enough then to make them blatant

[placid wyvern]

Yes, that's a blatant example. It's much more difficult to tell who's using a cronus or wallhacks.

[marble kite]

The pc tower lol. I could Google it

[marble stag]

Good luck finding a cheater in the first place lol

[tender narwhal]

is custom search class-locked now wtf?

[marble stag]

no?

[tender narwhal]

it loaded me into a locked match

[hollow finch]

There is basically always a pdf version of a manual, guide, technical specs or whatever available

[marble stag]

Weird. I played a few matches in custom today, no class locks.

[tender narwhal]

🤔

[marble stag]

Would be surprising because DICE actually hates class-locked modes now

They do their utmost best to hide it as far as possible in the menu haha

[tender narwhal]

small indie billion dollar studio

[hot shoal]

Ah the good ole days, all gone

[marble stag]

I don't really care for it that much

[hot shoal]

I do but im long past caring for infantry stuff, so i stick in vehicle kill spree

[tight prism]

Playing with bots in portal is a choice. Play the regular playlist you won’t have to wait

[safe brook]

Im partially convinced the new leads at DICE hate the class system and only have it because of how bad the backlash was in 2042 and don't have a clue what the nuance of the class system actually is

[hot shoal]

Of course lol

Look at the maps, they dont know what there doing

[hollow finch]

On paper

[marble stag]

Well, he thinks he plugged it in the wrong usb port which could have been usb 2.0

[placid wyvern]

Noticing a new bug where enemy map pings don't disappear after they're killed.

[hollow finch]

That would be pretty detrimental

[marble stag]

Yeah, but just a guess. No way for me to check his stuff anyways

[hollow finch]

But there's also a lot of external ssd's nowadays that are just trash in a plastic shell

[marble stag]

But he has the game on an external SSD, over USB. If it's 3.2g2 it shouldn't cause any issues

[safe brook]

Like the fact that they did a pulse check with multiple content creators and they all pushed back on open weapon classes.
And then all the battlefield labs feedback said lock the weapons
And then they had to go into damage control mode for unlocked weapons
And now they wont even address it.

And through it all, this is the hill they choose to die on.

[marble stag]

If he plugged it in a usb 2.0 port, i'd be surprised if it didn't affect load times

Especially max settings 4K

[hollow finch]

I'd be interested in the specific drive

[clever jasper]

Honestly , the devs should push an in game survey out , that’d really wake them up to see what needs to be addressed

[meager temple]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1r8fwn7/comment/o64sddb/

[placid wyvern]

They did, a while ago.

[cedar briar]

aThey already did a month or so ago, didn't go down well

[marble stag]

To be fair, contaminated is a nice map.

I already know i'm not going to like the other one

[placid wyvern]

Hard time enjoying it with all the snipers.

[hollow finch]

Still haven't tried s2... Feeling like the odd one out

[marble stag]

I don't even need to try the other map to know i won't like it

[safe brook]

They did.
And then they proceeded to ignore it because none of the feedback was what they wanted to hear

[clever jasper]

Oh ok I missed it, guess they’re just really out of touch with their player base

[marble stag]

Also, i don't get their reasoning with making limited time modes

Especially Nightfall lol.

[hot shoal]

They really need to stop

[marble stag]

Introduce a new map, perfectly suitable for being dark, and use NVG's
Then remove the gamemode later??

[placid wyvern]

They probably expect the majority of players to only play them a few times and drop them.

[marble stag]

I don't get the decision tbh.

[granite zinc]

Huh? The current class system is solid other than having open weapons. Let me guess, you're mad recond doesnt have the beacon anymore for own personal sniper perch

[marble stag]

The sane decision would be always having it as an option, or have it rotate as a seperate map so you have dark/lit interchanging lol

In my opinion, apart maybe from some holiday skit, nothing should be a limited time event.

[hollow finch]

A staple of live service models since like.. fortnite. Every big shooter trying to be all the little shooters as well all at the same time

[granite zinc]

It feels like a testing the waters thing. In BF4 they put a bunch of work into it, and it was barely played upon release.

[placid wyvern]

Does sound nice, but there's also the issue of delegating server space for modes that only a few players engage with.

[marble stag]

Just under half the entire battlepass is a limited time event

[marble stag]

Plenty of other junk they keep, and it really isn't that bad for one gamemode.

[safe brook]

No I'm upset that the Assault class is the weakest its ever been while support is the strongest its ever been because the Assault is meant to have the best jack of all trade weapons in the game while support is supposed to be hampered by unwieldy and clunky weapons to create a mutual-dependence system that encourages unconscious teamwork.
Why would I ever play the Assault kit when I can resupply and heal myself while running an AR with support

[hollow finch]

That's not the issue. It's an issue of diving up the playerbase and then trying to manage it later

[cedar briar]

They are all limited time modes because most people don't have the attention span

[marble stag]

The entire point is being able to play hagental in the dark

[placid wyvern]

That's basically the same as what I said.

[marble stag]

Just rotate both the light and dark one with Hagental in any other gamemode and you keep the content lol

Don't attach it to a gamemode

[granite zinc]

That too. Along with many "Conquest is the only game mode we should have!" voices screaming

[marble stag]

It's genuinely just stupid to bring in a map, which alternate (main really, it's displayed really large) to be played in the dark with NVG's

And then already decide you're going to remove it later, it's just odd.

Their main focus should not be on limited time modes or content

[placid wyvern]

A rotator like you said does seem like a good idea, like what they did for Empire.

[marble stag]

Idk how else to word it, people don't want that crap lol

[cedar briar]

I mainly play CQ, ESQ has been a good addition

[marble stag]

They want lasting change and content

[marble stag]

Like i'm really past sugarcoating it. I am very sure the majority of people don't want limited-time gamemodes as additional content in seasons

People don't want that crap, they want good, lasting content they can keep enjoying lol

Not an easy to code alternative gamemode that gets removed later

[granite zinc]

That may be a possibility in the future. Looking at recent Portal changes, they added in a tab for you to apply seasonal-like changes.

[marble stag]

It's not seasonal worthy content

This is.. "We have some time left and cooked you up some nice gamemodes for a bit" additional content level

Not seasonal level

[cedar briar]

They could have every map in a seasonal variant.. not link winters 1 map last mionute job

[hollow finch]

Mmyeah. That's how black gold(night map with nvg) was handled in mw2. It was just among the regular maps on the standard map pool

[velvet kayak]

Girl! I want to take you to a GY Bar!

[marble stag]

As it should, it's main selling point is that it can go dark lol. What's left if that gets removed, a worse metro which basically is a single file kill tunnel? (With maybe some small flank routes that become their own tiny kill funnel?

Like, i can't speak for everyone, but those kind of maps simply do not amuse me. Sitting on opposite sides of a hallway taking pot shots at each other xd

World war 1 all over again, except the trenches are rotated

[velvet kayak]

Yep, no one wants gimmick game modes

[granite igloo]

Playing aggressively is so punishing bro

[hollow finch]

Neither do i understand it but they seemed to be popular on older bf games

[hollow finch]

Lol

[cedar briar]

Becuase it worked like the current bot farms, but with real people

[marble stag]

While we're ripping it still, the Hunter/Pray (April pack) literally one has one thing going for it. A new vehicle.

[hollow finch]

Who would've thought that aggression is riskier

[rotund plover]

hey does anyone know where i gotta go to report bugs? i have clips tht i want someone to seee

[granite igloo]

It’s literal because of how the game is designed that it is punished, it’s better to camp and corner peek

[marble stag]

• 50% of it's selling point (literally, half the box) is a limited time mode. Not even a new map.
• A portal update (which is underwhelming to most people because you're also running on 30 tick servers)
• A new bonus path (yay, cosmetics)
• A new vehicle (Another troop carrier)
• A new melee weapon.. Sure.

[rotund plover]

invisible tanks glitches, no gun sights for the rest of the gam, black screeen bug still a thing after patch is a joke;.

[marble stag]

They could have just.. crammed the vehicle in March, put the machete in march and get rid of the entier april release

And nothing of value would be lost xD

https://i.redd.it/gfyr8xoba3jg1.jpeg

[hollow finch]

Ehhh.. you just need to have an eye for openings that are worth exploiting and pushing aggressively.. working to make those openings.. not just mindlessly rushing forward

[stable haven]

new map is great, but wow the devs clearly did not play it on breakthrough lol. You literally cannot get the tank close to A in the first objective

[marble stag]

Should focus on moving forward, but sideways.

Straight forward gets you killed most of the time.

Even if you're insanely good, if two people shoot you from anything but straight infront of you at the same time.. 95% chance of dying unless they miss all their shots

Might as well just run around an open field xd

[hollow finch]

Aggression doesn't really work unless you have the element of surprise or more firepower. That is just insanely basic strategy

[marble stag]

Pretty much, straight forward aggression with this TTD is a suicide mission

[stable haven]

I think Breakthrough as a game mode should be permanently replaced

[granite igloo]

Yeah ttk and ttd are wildly different

[faint plaza]

its more just im not interested in dealing with consistent sweats or cheaters, combined with the lack of players to start a match, id rather just play solo or duo with a friend against AI and still be allowed to progress, but they never brought the coop mode to bf6 which was unfortunate for players like me

[hollow finch]

Why

[marble stag]

Most issues to do with any gamemode are really just map design issues

[stable haven]

it's clear that no devs play the mode and so many of the maps are unbalanced

[marble stag]

Not a problem with the modes, map design issue

[lime peak]

Season 2 doesnt even feel like a season 2, just feels like a 4th month of season 1

[hollow finch]

Mmyeah.. but it's a core game mode... At least meant to be one

[granite igloo]

This audio is so garbage too

[stable haven]

No. Replace it with what Operations was from bf1, but copied onto bf6

[hollow finch]

Like said it's a problem of very poor map design

[granite igloo]

+the net code code and hit reg are also bad

[stable haven]

I guess it is the map design, yeah. I don't think they have many left on the team

[slender epoch]

lack of rss… wut

[granite igloo]

They lost a lot of map making skills

[hollow finch]

Like seriously, the map design is really bad. For most of them i can't imagine how someone could look at a map and think yeah this could probably work

[granite igloo]

New sobek city for example

[stable haven]

map design felt like it was designed by AI and an intern

[faint plaza]

tbh imo BF5 had some of the best map designs, with some exceptions of course

[hollow finch]

Bfv had very good maps

[marble stag]

Battlefield 1 had great maps that fit it's general aesthetic.

[slender epoch]

my favorite part of sobek is the lil stairways that lead nowhere ❓

[brisk lily]

when will they finally remove sprinting?

Movement is too op.

[cedar briar]

prone only

[hollow finch]

They also featured interesting gameplay elements without making them.. overpowered or infuriating to play against

[stable haven]

the new map does remind me of bf1 at last, which is great

[hollow finch]

I liked that you could blow up bridges as stuff as a defender to prevent armor from taking certain paths

Or build dragons teeth on roads

Also stationary weapons were placed much better..

[stable haven]

fortifications in bf6 would be interesting

[slender epoch]

maps are controversial but down at the bottom of this is a v toxic matchmaker

balancer needs to go we need a server browser

[brisk lily]

the ladder was a unique addition but placement has gotten so much more finicky

[stable haven]

ladder is neat, but imo it breaks a little too easily

[hollow finch]

I don't think matchmaking is a key issue

A server browser would be awesome though

[slender epoch]

it v much is . if the core game is frustrating why keep playing ?

[brisk lily]

letting teammates shoot the ladder is an interesting choice

I've noticed people do that more often now

[hollow finch]

Do you think the balance would be better without matchmaking at all?

[marble stag]

Persistent servers

[slender epoch]

yes. i don’t need dice stepping into my games just becuase i win

[stable haven]

persistent servers is something I'm baffled at why it's not in at launch

[marble stag]

Level matchmaking is fine

[slender epoch]

they always put a recon that doesn’t do anything in my squad they just idle or sniper 200m away

it’s toxic

[marble stag]

lol.

[cedar briar]

you can change your squad

[brisk lily]

If you're doing cloud hosting it's a lot easier to spin down and spin up game instances tbh

[slender epoch]

i shouldn’t have to man

[stable haven]

I wish m60 got buffed

[marble stag]

How exactly do you envision to have this fixed?

[slender epoch]

what ever the matchmaker was in bf4/1 was fine and give us a f server browser

build community

[hollow finch]

I think it's harder to balance two teams now vs... Say 10-15 years ago. In my humble opinion have a much larger skill gap between the casual and talented/skilled players than ever before.

[cedar briar]

persistant servers don't fix that.. they can still be 1 sided. the only thing it fixes is population

[stable haven]

seriously, buff m60. Give it a bit better recoil and precision

[slender epoch]

in those games if a team was stream rolling i would just go on the other team with the team switch button

[hollow finch]

This applies to all games basically, not just bf6

[charred rose]

You should make a clip of it and slow it down to show us

[granite igloo]

I’d like my shots to register game

[slender epoch]

help out the noobs

[heady gale]

No because I’ll be sad that I got it to 50 before the buff

[heady gale]

You missed

[charred rose]

Mine do urs just missed

[stable haven]

why do you like torturing yourself? you seriously got m60 at lvl 50? That's crazy

[marble stag]

I've already done that with multiple people, changed pretty much all my settings, disabled all overlays i had, troubleshooted my network to find nothing. I've given up, i'm over that lol.

[heady gale]

Working on getting every gun to 50

[stable haven]

m60 is undisputedly the worst lmg in the entire game. I'm only using it to lvl 20, maybe 40 for the camo unlocks

[marble stag]

I forgot what camos it unlocks

[fleet ermine]

How does dice not have the time or resources for more than 2 maps a season? Fuck off lmao

[marble stag]

Probably already working on the next game

[heady gale]

I got the P18 to 50, that was miserable

[charred rose]

Have you tried ethernet

[slender epoch]

m60 shreds in tdm/koth

[cedar briar]

fastest weapon i got to 50 in only 9 hours

[tired flower]

Really?

[marble stag]

Eh?

[slender epoch]

ya

[charred rose]

Cuz rocks made today take more effort than the ones they made a decade ago

[languid horizon]

Did they reset the career bests??

[charred rose]

Plug in the funny router

[marble stag]

You're still not making much sense

[tired flower]

Nope, I do get a bug that makes it look that way sometimes tho

[heady gale]

People are so spoiled nowadays

[charred rose]

They might have I lost my 500+ vehicle hp healed in one life I was actually proud of that lowkey

[languid horizon]

All of my stuff is just from my last game 😂

[marble stag]

I mean.. they have a point lol. It's 4 studios working on this.

[languid horizon]

you have me beat😔 mine was 492 in a life

[marble stag]

It's not like they're shy for funds either

[tired flower]

Yeah on relaunch it normally goes back to "normal"

[granite igloo]

With premium they dropped more content

[charred rose]

W engineer bros laying on the tank with the welder

[languid horizon]

That’s lame

[stable haven]

yeah it's not like they didn't make over a billion USD in profits

[fleet ermine]

Asking for more than 2 maps every 4 months is spoiled? How many dev teams worked on this game again?

[marble stag]

For real though? What do you mean, i am on ethernet. A wired connection.

[heady gale]

2 new maps a season isn’t actually that bad in comparison

[tired flower]

"Cuz rocks made today take more effort than the ones they made a decade ago" - John EA

[charred rose]

Oh ur just cooked then I'm on wifi and never feel netcode issues

[languid horizon]

Total kills now it says for my career is 294 lol bro no 😂 I have 4200 total on my actual profile

[stable haven]

I think the only reason why it feels bad to players is because there's almost no good maps in the game right now. If the base maps were actually good, people would probably tolerate 2 per season

[ionic meteor]

They should start charging for dlc like they use to so I can hear everyone cry about the dlc being 25$

[tired flower]

wym Liberation Peak exists 🗻

[languid horizon]

New map is garbage (I’m mad I got to play it once and was sniped within 3 seconds of every spawn and got zero kills)

[heady gale]

Complaining about free content

[charred rose]

Oh no they broke it fuuUUuuactually they just made it better by making you achieve grander feats instead of the ones you had before cuz those are old game still best battlefield

[fleet ermine]

Its sad to think cod is getting more content per season when that game releases every year...

[stable haven]

grats, that is just ONE map lol

[heady gale]

With the much smaller maps ?

[languid horizon]

The things that I have gotten this season have also disappeared

[tight prism]

What an SHAME, best battlefield in years, record breaking sales for the franchise, out did COD for the first time ever, and then they delay season 2 and finally release it with one map that's small asf, map is cool, but is nothing amazing and will be forgotten, what the hell happened???? Air gets no love and still lacks balance, little bird should have been in release, i just don't get it, one map is pathetic, BF pro is a rip off, i mean seriosulky EA u suck!!!!!!

[sturdy spindle]

they only outdid cod cause cod killed itself

[tired flower]

Gonna be honest, the only maps I don't like are Blackwell, Cairo, and Firestorm.
I enjoy playing on the rest of them

[charred rose]

It's sad to think that people actually remember cod after the best shooter of our time battlefield 6 dropped.

[marble stag]

Ah, right. Yeah i don't know what to tell you. I've been through this with multiple people and done everything in my power to troubleshoot it. From driver reinstalls to complete redo of settings in-game, disabled all overlays down to steam overlay and geforce overlay, even MSI Afterburner.

On a 1.1/1.1 Gbps, 3ms fiber connection, all my internal networking is CAT6, and i've tested all of it with one of our work's 3000 euro Fluke cable testers. It's all good lol. It's not my connection.

[languid horizon]

Yeah it’s gotta be bugged out cuz it said I only got 3 machine gun kills as a career total…

[charred rose]

oh.

Intentional features they brought in the gas and they call it the fog of war they also meant fogging your stats so you can't see them properly either trust

[marble stag]

I get your default to "skill issues" or "bs' but i've done it all lol. It's really bumming me out.

[fleet ermine]

This could be true if dice locked in and released content, 3 maps per season would be perfect. Literally just remake old maps

[sturdy spindle]

cod players arent even happy with their own content dont be fooled, cod is quantity > quality

[languid horizon]

😂 right right

aught ima hop on a game anyways idc abt the stats it’s just a fun game

[tired flower]

Someone would say 4 maps would be perfect

[fleet ermine]

Acting as if bf6 content is quality

[sturdy spindle]

yea but what good does comparing it to ai cod do

[languid horizon]

oh heck nah

[charred rose]

3 maps would be dogwater when contaminated clears easily by having taken time to be made instead of macdonald's slop churning

[tight prism]

yea well watch bf6 kill itself, I bet big money after all the success of arc raiders, both EA and activisions switchedf gears faster than you can say season 2 and are dumping all the resources into their next big extraction shooter withe the COD and BATTLEFIELD brand slapped all over it

[slender epoch]

we used to get 4 maps per man

[stable haven]

I can settle for 3 maps if it's really high quality

[granite igloo]

Content must be drip feed

[fleet ermine]

And Blackwell isn't ai?

[tender narwhal]

did they suck?

[marble stag]

I mean.. gameplay content probably not.. but DICE is trying to sell you AI generated cosmetics..

[slender epoch]

which is good because if you didn’t like one you could possible like the rest

[stable haven]

I actually kinda like the new map, but only on conquest and escalation. On breakthrough, it's complete garbage

[tight prism]

amazing maps

[tender narwhal]

how have season passes ever not been a dripfeed

[sturdy spindle]

cod been doing the same thing since 2 cods ago

[languid horizon]

I just don’t like it bc I can’t learn it when I’m getting killed in less than 3 seconds

[marble stag]

I'm aware, but just saying that Battlefield isn't "above it"

[languid horizon]

how does everyone else already know the entire map

that I played with

[tender narwhal]

it happens

[tight prism]

it's the size of a shoe box

[charred rose]

Unemployment

[sturdy spindle]

but the content u can actually play in cod is just collectathon medals from dead bodies and horrible event passes

[marble stag]

True

[heady gale]

Imagine the outrage if they went back to needing to pay for DLCs

[sturdy spindle]

the only good thing cod is doing rn is making a lot of animated camos but its sorta too much

[marble stag]

It's not like the map is that large.. if you played like 10 matches and got everywhere you should have a general understanding of where everything is. Not like, knowing all possible flanking paths, trenches or advanced tactics, but you shouldn't be a headless chicken at that point

There will always be outliers, but i think the average person could know the general layout by 10 games lol

[sturdy spindle]

im almost tier 25 in the bp should i take a break

i played 7 hours in a row

[marble stag]

Do whatever you want to do, it does not affect me

[sturdy spindle]

[marble stag]

[placid wyvern]

Lord knows you won't stop.

[sturdy spindle]

it not my fault the m433 is so fun to use

[placid wyvern]

Addict's creed.

[sturdy spindle]

i went from 500 m433 kills to 2000 in 2-3 days

[placid wyvern]

🦗

[charred rose]

It's not even about paying for them it's like they're fighting time itself telling the devs they gotta make a full ray traced multi layered next gen map in the same time as when they were making playstation 3 assets like reality is just not part of the equation anymore.

[languid osprey]

What a disappointing update:

• Map is mid, not great
• Visibility is still pretty bad
• Team balancing is just bad, even worst
• PC performance worst than ever (probably AI code)

I feel it was just a mistake buying this game

[heady gale]

People got spoiled somewhere along the way man

[sturdy spindle]

according to the in game stats, ive only killed 16 bots

[slender epoch]

selling dlc is also the best anti cheat i think

[languid osprey]

Agree

[marble stag]

I mean.. 1500 kills in days days, 500 a day. I think without looking (let me check lmao) i get like what, 30+ kills a match (ignoring deaths) that would be what, 15-16 matches a day? Probably less if your KD is higher than mine, afaik i know yours is higher than mine(?)

[fleet ermine]

Such a shame how poor portal was done, if done right this lack of content per season would be justified

[heady gale]

Yeah but there’s such a small amount of cheaters in multiplayer

[languid osprey]

I miss the Premium days

[marble stag]

15 matches a day?
I can't really say how long the average match is

[sturdy spindle]

maybe 2 days

[marble stag]

15-25 mins?

[charred rose]

My performance has not gone down like at all but also I turned off the fps counter because why do I need it when im being shot at game still smooth

[sturdy spindle]

i only started maining this gun at start of s2

[heady gale]

We can react to messages now ???

[marble stag]

15-30?

I don't know

[heady gale]

Finally

[sturdy spindle]

i only have 1317 hipfire kills total

[tired flower]

ikr

[slender epoch]

season 2 drip reacts

[heady gale]

How are people complaining when we can react to messages now

[granite igloo]

This games audio is so dog water,

[sturdy spindle]

everyone screenshot ur "bot kills" career total

lets expose ourselves

[placid wyvern]

Only you'd care about that.

[marble stag]

2487

How many headshot kills?

[sturdy spindle]

1985

[granite igloo]

Worst audio I’ve ever seen In a game

[marble stag]

HS%?

[granite igloo]

Absolutely terrible

[sturdy spindle]

it doesnt show me %

[marble stag]

It shows HS% under hipfire kills (if you're on tracker.gg)

[sturdy spindle]

im using the in game stats in profile

[granite igloo]

Footsteps come form one direction but are form another direction instead tf

[marble stag]

Aah

[sturdy spindle]

this should be more accurate

[charred rose]

It'll be fine they'll return to fortnite so they can buy every pair of digital shoes that get released as "content" while people who like things of quality will happily wait for the next great map to drop the bots filling their place will be about the same skill anyway.

[marble stag]

Honestly, my K/D isn't that high, but i'm pretty sure i'm actually quite good at the game lol. I just don't play that many matches.

My sniper accuracy is on par with Razr, and 1/4 of my shots are headshots.

[sturdy spindle]

theres a new view all stats button

[marble stag]

I just suck at reading the game and just go head first aggressive xD

[marble stag]

Oh shit, let me check

[sturdy spindle]

everyone getting exposed now 🥀

[ionic meteor]

You can check other people’s stats ?

[sturdy spindle]

they'd have to screenshot it

[marble stag]

Better in-game stats are nice, if i don't need to use tracker, i don't see why i would

[slender epoch]

haha ohhh no i’m exposed for bringing my gf into casuals 🙈 hahah got me

[marble stag]

@sturdy spindle What's your accuracy?

[sturdy spindle]

i prefire like crazy i have 21.1%

[marble stag]

Honestly i should be the benchmark, if it's worse than me, you suck

Yeah you suck

[sturdy spindle]

ah hell nawl

[marble stag]

23.1%

Losah

[sturdy spindle]

whats ur kd in sabotage

[marble stag]

I don't play sabotage, i only play escalation/conquest

[slender epoch]

do yall gotta 50 in lone wolves?

[sturdy spindle]

lol my accuracy is so low in sabotage cause i had to shoot all the boxes

[marble stag]

I think i got like.. 3 sabotage games?

[sturdy spindle]

what is that

[marble stag]

I should try the other gamemodes more but i just don't like them

@sturdy spindle Highest killstreak?

[sturdy spindle]

ik the true accuracy test. whats ur suppression assists total

[marble stag]

Let me check

[slender epoch]

ranked halo solos lol

[sturdy spindle]

[marble stag]

Well?

[sturdy spindle]

#screenshots-and-clips message

[marble stag]

1622

[slender epoch]

what’s yalls roadkills kc

[sturdy spindle]

i have 1511 that means u shoot around bodies more often than me ah hell nawl

[marble stag]

41, but i play really aggressive, rarely careful

[granite igloo]

The meta in this game is corner peeking and camping

[sturdy spindle]

3

[marble stag]

Hell nah

15 roadkills

🚙

Oohh a good one

Melee kills? @sturdy spindle @slender epoch

[sturdy spindle]

14

[marble stag]

24

[granite igloo]

Audio is a joke ffs

[marble stag]

Wheeze, i have one flash assist

[granite igloo]

Even with a headset I don’t hear shit

[marble stag]

Which is insanely accurate because i tried flash grenades once and instantly went like "nah"

[dusky arch]

actually a tragedy

[sturdy spindle]

damn i have 137 wins 18 losses in dom

[gleaming quiver]

butterfill

[sturdy spindle]

that doesnt sound right at all

[marble stag]

I don't really care for my win percentage

[marble stag]

I mean i'm not saying you suck but 137 wins 18 losses seems unlikely

[slender epoch]

think i had 8 lol

[sturdy spindle]

tracker says i have 219 dom games

[marble stag]

At least, not unless you quit when you are about to lose lol

[granite igloo]

This player base is so ratty

[sturdy spindle]

so idk where all those other dom games went

[dusky arch]

but i digress. maybe its my speakers (ahem headphones labelled as speakers in windows)

[marble stag]

Audio is fine for me, it's just footsteps that are a bit off

They always sound like they're higher than they are

[granite igloo]

I don’t have audio issues in no other game too

[dusky arch]

yeah sounds like 1985

[marble stag]

Eh, audio is fine in BF6 but it isn't groundbreaking either

It's.. okay

[fleet ermine]

you know what, screw the maps per season and give us even more limited time gamemodes

[marble stag]

You can turn the sound profile to dynamic(?) i think?

[dusky arch]

please

[marble stag]

And it becomes a bit more interesting, but it can get kinda tiring with the loud sounds

The audio just lacks a bit of depth

Especially indoor gun sounds are underwhelming

[dusky arch]

its pos is pos

[marble stag]

But it's not really that much of a deal, the sounds are fine

Distant sounds could be better, but maps aren't large (if the distances are accurate) enough to have much sound delay to add some immersion either.

[placid wyvern]

Got the GRT to 40.

Might be my favorite DMR now.

[dusky arch]

just get the pos right with the sound.

[marble stag]

It's kind of hard to balance sound in shooters like battlefield or call of duty anyways

You can't really do it all right

[dusky arch]

what do you mean balance the sound?

[languid horizon]

Oh nice we can’t see each others guns anymore

[marble stag]

It's pretty hard to have an average audio "profile" or ambience that is satisfying in all occasions and somewhat realistic

Like, i feel like guns should feel more impactful, have a bit more reverb indoors, and generall be louder.

Generally all sounds on a battlefield are loud as hell

But.. doing so would completely void footsteps, and other noises for immersion

[dusky arch]

oh ok i was just speaking of the positional audio. a dead cockroach could do it if it wanted.

[dusky arch]

you see i actually feel they tried at least in this department

[marble stag]

Oh they did, it's just hard to get it right

Impossible is a big word, but i think it's pretty much impossible

[dusky arch]

but the positional audio beyond right to left is fraudelent the best i can tell

[marble stag]

Loud sounds will always be underwhelming because they either overpower everything

Or they become really tiring for players

[dusky arch]

actually i think it should be quite easy

[marble stag]

It really isn't though

I'd want guns to be/feel more impactful, especially vehicles, but that would take away a lot.

If things were more impactful, reverbing, loud in the average game you wouldn't hear anything

[dusky arch]

thats what the different profiles are for not a big deal

[marble stag]

You can forget about hearing voices or footsteps completely

[nimble saddle]

hey guys

[dusky arch]

yes gimme that tinnitis but no shit i should be able to tell if someone is in front ~~ of~~ or back of me shooting a gun with my eyes closed

[marble stag]

Realistically though, even you wouldn't enjoy properly immersive sound in a game for too long

It would just be really unenjoyable

[slender epoch]

bf6 becomes a horror game when you put the gas mask on

[dusky arch]

id like to try this theory of yours. do you know where to properly do so?

[marble stag]

I can't quickly think of better examples, but Ready or Not has a pretty good balance of how loud gunfire actually is

[worldly magnet]

I think it’s more of a horror game when it’s off

[granite igloo]

This game is so laser beamy holy moly

[marble stag]

If you turn your volume up so you hear footsteps, or distant talking to a realistic level

Guns will be very, very loud and i couldn't bear that for more than a few minutes

It's generally unenjoyable and would probably give you hearing damage lol

Really immersive though

[dusky arch]

plus you may actually suffer damage so don't do that.

[marble stag]

Yeah, literally.

[worldly magnet]

RoN has had an issue where voices don’t have a distance drop off depending on above or below tho

[marble stag]

I get the audio approach in the game, if it was any more realistic, you wouldn't enjoy it and i'm 100% sure of it

Turning some stuff up to sound, better would mean they overpower a lot

Like.. good luck listening for footsteps if there's an Abrams or Bradly firing outside that building lol

[humble trench]

pubg suffered from that sound balance early on. if u ended up in an artilery strike area you'd go deaf. that kinda sound design is bad

[granite igloo]

And ppl know where I am at all times crazy

[dusky arch]

right but there's no reason the sounds can't be positioned correctly as they would actually occur, although im not at all convinced its actually possible within headphones 2 drivers or 4.1 drivers per cup

[heady gale]

Listening to music >

[marble stag]

It's enjoyable in some sense, but not in the long term

Like, it's fun, it's cool to feel immersed

But for longer than a game or two? definitely not

But sadly the end result is "underwhelming sound"

[humble trench]

broad dynamic range is just bad sound design, theyre games, theyre not meant to make u go deaf cuz irl gunfire is loud lmao

[marble stag]

Loud is an understatement

[marble stag]

If this game was realistic, if you got within 100 meters of a firing abrams without hearing protection?

[granite igloo]

This games visibility is a joke, I might need thermal for every map

[marble stag]

Enjoy your tinnitus for the rest of the round lol

[pale jolt]

any1 know anything abt the new attachments coming to the game?

[worldly magnet]

I love the gunfire in RoN personally. But 6 sounds phenomenal with Wartapes VAL on.

[marble stag]

That stuff shakes your brain

[dusky arch]

they could allow you to tailor the sounds to your taste individually so far as footsteps go. like footsteps always audible over nearby explosions (to some arbitrary competively balanced limit of course)

[heady gale]

You might need a trip to your local opticians

[humble trench]

its kind of the same complaint when it comes to certain movies (take chris nolan films) where the dialog is sooooo quiet, or alternatively, the music/action is incredibly loud, its a bit of a chore. doesnt even matter if its realistic that way or not, there are limits lol

[marble stag]

It sounds amazing in RoN, but if you turn it up high enough to also get footsteps and distant chatter and generally a balanced feeling, it's rightfully unenjoyable

[nimble saddle]

okay it’s not that bad

[marble stag]

Thermal isn't going to help you if you don't know where to look

[heady gale]

Turn the volume up to listen to dialogue and then an ear splitting bomb goes off

[granite igloo]

No other game I have a problem with it

[humble trench]

im lucky i have a receiver that has voice boosting settings, but yeah even nolan movies go really far lol

[marble stag]

I once heard people talking in a room in RoN and my sound was kinda low, i upped the volume to hear them whispering in the room

Then i got fired at, full auto. That sucked.

[dusky arch]

and kthen a commercial came on

[marble stag]

Ear piercingly loud

Realistic though

[heady gale]

For hearing aids

[dusky arch]

lol

[hallow geode]

Can someone explain the purpose of having 2 crosshairs on the little bird minigun

[marble stag]

First commercial is loud, second commercial gets subtitles

[marble stag]

Each gun is on other side of the vehicle and the gunfire only converges at a certain distance

[heady gale]

Guns are on either side

[marble stag]

If something is close, two crosshairs helps

If it was one, you'd shoot to the sides of your target

So you either have two crosshairs, or you offset your aim

[tight prism]

season 2 is dissapointing

[hallow geode]

Ok so sometimes I wanna aim with one crosshair and sometimes with the other?

[marble stag]

If targets are close enough, yeah

You can aim with both, but the fire only perfectly converges at a certain distance

(for maximum accuracy)

[worldly magnet]

I mean, I think a lot of gun sound design in modern shooters are wayy too quiet. I think gun sounds can help drastically in making a games gunplay feel more satisfying. I want my guns to sound like they’d actually kill someone. But I think RoN just has bad sound mixing in general. But the gun sounds are perf

[heady gale]

Still get flashbacks to little birds on hardline downtown

[hallow geode]

I just got confused cos it seemed like I only ever needed to use the crosshair that moves around

[marble stag]

If your target is like.. idk, 30-100 meters i'd say? you're better off using one of them

But that is an estimate, take it with a grain of salt, i haven't flown that long yet with it

Your miles may vary

[slow merlin]

wow this update is actually good

[humble trench]

ye sound mix is the right word, i said sound design earlier but bf6 is actually pretty good in that respect. but the sound mix is meant to obscure and allow more freedom of movement which not everyone appreciates.

[marble stag]

And it's a rough estimate

[slow merlin]

the menu feels amazing wtf

[graceful sun]

allot of fresh accounts lately i've noticed

possible hackers i bet

[slow merlin]

they may be a little late but they actually addressed some key stuff, cant wait to get into these new weapons

[heady gale]

Isn’t every player a possible hacker ?…

[dusky arch]

i still don't entirely understand the moving xhair on the jets. i need an ai lock on crosshair for that thing

[marble stag]

Almost every console player has an aimbot

[hallow geode]

Alright so the top crosshair that doesn't really move is more of a long range crosshair and the one that moves a bunch is more of a close range. Am I understanding right?

[dusky arch]

its hard enough just to get the thing pointed in the vicinity

[marble stag]

Somewhat

[granite igloo]

I’m a console player and I don’t because I’m not a loser

[dusky arch]

its built in i guess unless you're using mouse on console then of course, no

[subtle sluice]

Hmm

[marble stag]

You should use the moving crosshair most of the time, as it adjusts for your movement a bit. The moving crosshair is where your bullets converge at that given distance.

[heady gale]

Just looked, you should turn it on

[marble stag]

The stationary crosshair is.. well stationary. Straight forward, more useful to base your movement on

Easy, quick, way to tell where your front end is pointing

[dusky arch]

yeah if you[re not turning at all it goes straight ahead at both of them

[graceful sun]

lets not forget a cronus

[marble stag]

Basically in short: use stationary crosshair for helping you fly, use the moving crosshair for the guns.

[subtle sluice]

I got accuse of using a xen today (i play mk)

[dusky arch]

but you still have to adjust for distance to target

and speed of target, etc.

[hallow geode]

Gotcha that makes sense 👍

[marble stag]

At times you can use it for aiming too, as they can line up depending on your position/distance to target

Just.. sticking to the moving one as for where to look is probably best for now

[ebon arch]

Any update on the visual bugs with season 2?

[heady gale]

Visual bugs ?

[vagrant igloo]

Is there a way to get the little bird to spawn on any of these testing portal things? Have tried like 5 of them and I just spawn in.....no vehicles, i want to test out my loadout. Im hosting locally

[dusky arch]

the only reason i can tell jets are above me is because duh. it sounds the same. unless i have thx spatial 7.1.4 headset then it sounds like its in a trash can

please tell me im wrong

[charred rose]

Bro joysticks are so trash when I plug a controller in on pc let them have at least a little bit of fun lmao

[ebon arch]

Every game last night my gun would disappear then eventually it would be rocking ps2 graphics

[heady gale]

Strange

[junior gale]

Did they change the bolt action on the sv 98, it’s not as jumpy anymore lol

[ebon arch]

Happened to everyone in my squad too

Lol we were running around with finger guns for an hour lol

[crimson garden]

Penguin give big thanks to BF6 for nice TDM match! 😎

[heady gale]

I aspire to enjoy this game as much as penguin

[outer fog]

facts

[crimson garden]

Youi're actually right friend, Penguin actually having lots of fun with BF6, much of the reason for spending time with nice community over here too! ❤️

[faint plaza]

Is there a thing that removes initiation breakthrough after playing it too much?

[marble stag]

Penguin seems to be a bot

[outer fog]

he's not a bot, he's just European

[charred rose]

Everyone should. Except me I like it more despite probably having less hours.

[heady gale]

Penguin what is your opinion on KV9

[marble stag]

I am european

[outer fog]

dang

[dusky arch]

prYldfire thinks penguins taste like chicken mostly

[marble stag]

I know right

[outer fog]

could be better, what kind of European

[crimson garden]

Penguin thinks KV9 has extremely high TTK in CQB, it's pretty much Penguins 2th favorite SMG after SCW-10. KV9 = very good, accuracy and handling with it is easy, but runs out of ammo very quickly, so it's usually a SMG suited for max 2-3 kills at a time

[marble stag]

Dutch lol

[faint plaza]

does anyone know? was playing it with a buddy and when the match ended we got sent to main menu and cant find it anymore?

[outer fog]

dang

[tawdry cipher]

Are you using using the phantom edition soldier skins per chance? I have seen that bug before and it was with the phantom skins equiped

[heady gale]

Can I ask one more question

[marble stag]

Got it pretty good

[crimson garden]

Of course friend, Penguin ready! 🚀

[outer fog]

its in the upper echelon for sure

[heady gale]

What’s your opinion on capitalism

[marble stag]

And i bought a house in this economy

[outer fog]

DAMN top 3 for sure

grats on house

[tight prism]

Yes it’s supposed to go away by level 10

[granite igloo]

What’s met? I shouldnt be using off meta in this game anyway

[gleaming quiver]

DICE U LIED ABOUT AIR RADAR FIX IT OR UR LIARS

[marble stag]

Sold the boat though

[dusky arch]

i guess i have to drop another 90$ to get 3 skins, a vehicle skin or 2, and a bunch of profile card junk? here goes nothing

[faint plaza]

ah yes. another reason to hate the game for locking me out of the only gamemode im comfortable playing where i can actually progress and enjoy the game.
im going back to 2042, this game was a huge waste.

[tawdry cipher]

They never said it was coming this update, they mentioned they are working on a fix

[tight prism]

Casual breakthrough is the same mode lol

[crimson garden]

Penguin can't recommend having this as a topic due to chat rule restrictions. But Penguin supports it when it works correctly and not when it fails. According to Penguin, any system can be misused & also used for good. Almost like having a balanced chat room for BF6 chat!

[dusky arch]

i mean it works fine if they are within a meter or 2 right?

[faint plaza]

you say this but level 200+ players doesnt sound very casual, i tried it first before initiation and found it unenjoyable

[heady gale]

Thank you penguin enjoy your evening

[heady gale]

200+ is pretty casual

[tight prism]

They call it casual because it’s the only mode with bots that still gives full progression for player kills

[gleaming quiver]

I AM RAGING AT YOUR MESSAGE BUDDY.
