battlefield-6

[worldly trail]

TR-7 harder to control recoil for me

[stray eagle]

the tr7 has more recoil for sure, but its more predictable imo

[worldly trail]

Haven't used it a ton

[stray eagle]

I'm using the 35 point vertical grip and a flash comp on the m417 and it still bounces all over the place

[worldly trail]

Violet laser?

[steel zephyr]

by the way guys i highly recommend taking the time to learn the positive play charter inside and out. as members of this discord server, we should live and breath the positive play charter and represent its values

[stray eagle]

that too

though the spread doesn't feel improved

it doesn't have a light barrel either

[worldly trail]

Idk I do have to burst the HK a lot

[steel zephyr]

the positive play charter lives inside of all of us

[worldly trail]

I was thinking about getting a positive play charter tattoo to help spread the message

[mystic lichen]

ur not wrong Kane, there are just so many other guns to pick over the M417 nowadays

[grave stump]

What

Since when does m417 have bigger recoil than tr7 especially post patch

[steel zephyr]

yeah just put it right beside the tattoo you have of jesus

[worldly trail]

Buddha*

[grave stump]

Has to be ragebait

[steel zephyr]

that’s what the positive play chatter represents here

[stray eagle]

I didn't say the tr7 was lower

I said it was easier

[grave stump]

U said easier to control which is false

[oak hamlet]

positve play charter

[grave stump]

M417 with proper attachments can fire all 20 rounds and not kick at all

Tr7 shakes like blender after shot number 6 with same attachments

And i have 50 mastery on both

[worldly trail]

The L115 is so fun and I don't even snipe a ton

[grave stump]

In s2 i would agree maybe

[mystic lichen]

blender mode, but 2 bodies on the ground at least

[grave stump]

In s3 after recoil changes. No shot

[oak hamlet]

postive play charter

[junior thorn]

even pre recoil changes 417 was a beam in comparison wild take

[grave stump]

Yeah

M417 being made fully irrelevant by SG is different aspect tho

[steel zephyr]

all hope was lost in this discord server until one day, the positive play charter was enacted to bring order to the chaos. The server was fine until one day the mods stopped doing their jobs and vanished, and now this server has been at war with the trolls for the last one hundred years. Will the mods ever return and take back control of this discord server and bring back order to the world?

[junior thorn]

ye

[grave stump]

In order for m417 to be worth playing it should get 15m range

All 7.62x51 carbines should have 15M range

[worldly trail]

I read the last part of that in the DBZ narrator voice

[grave stump]

Then m417 in some scenarios would be better than SG

[junior thorn]

m417 does feel nice tho so it has that going for it

[grave stump]

Instead m417 is SG that has slower rof and much less ammo

[grave stump]

Fully decked out sg does too

[worldly trail]

HKs are swag

[grave stump]

And u dont have to pay 15 points just to have 25 rounds

[junior thorn]

sg is just fantastic all around

[steel zephyr]

i also like survival games

[grave stump]

Either make m417 30 rounds baseline or extend the range

[worldly trail]

I heard SG was nerfed

[junior thorn]

i don't use it often due to how good it is same with drs lol

[grave stump]

Otherwise it will still be irrelevant

[grave stump]

Barely

[junior thorn]

sg been nerfed like 4 times now

[worldly trail]

Ok

[steel zephyr]

survival games was nerfed?

[worldly trail]

I typically only dabble with meta unless everyone is spamming them

[grave stump]

Sg has this problem that its the only carbine that doesnt pay the carbine tax

[stray eagle]

the 417 drops to 20 damage so fast

[grave stump]

Every other caliber has its max range reduced by 50%

[stray eagle]

it feels like the 4 shot kill range doesn't exist

[worldly trail]

Not at all. Subnautica 2 just launched with co-op!

[junior thorn]

throw it on the p90 it's pretty noticeable on there for some reason

[grave stump]

Sg doesnt

[sullen belfry]

The M7 recoil is annoying now. I don’t get why they made it so punishing when other guns are still laser beams.

[grave stump]

So 7.62 fires from NVO has same max damage range as SG

And thats a problem

[steel zephyr]

hello joe hendrickson

[grave stump]

In order to balance it SG should keep its 33 damage 10m but instantly drop to 20 damage at 11M basically skipping one tier of damage

[worldly trail]

Some low recoil guns don't need buffer

[grave stump]

The laser itself is invisible. The purple glow they see if they stare directly at you isnt

Thats the case with all lasers

[steel zephyr]

i didn’t know this was star wars battlefront 2

[worldly trail]

You can see it but only if they are being very still and in dark settings

[flint gorge]

the M240L literally spoiled me so badly I legit cannot use any other guns LOL

[grave stump]

Nah u cannot. It doesnt render period. What u can see is the glow coming from the gun

On every laser

[stray eagle]

its so visible on hagental, makes you way easier to spot in a dark corner

[worldly trail]

I could have sworn I saw it around a hagental corner. Okie dokie

[steel zephyr]

alright yall i gotta punch my time card in for the day for trol-i mean chatting and hit the hay

[slow rapids]

35 kill TDM game
19 of them are defibs

what have i become

[flint gorge]

holy shit man lol

[stoic tusk]

a menece lol

[heady gale]

Four guns left to get to 50

[flint gorge]

I lost interest not from lack of content.......

but for being stuck on a winning streak LMAO (10 game winning streak since I returned LOL)

[grave stump]

Nothing beats looking down thru thermal and finishing someone 0.2s after they get revived

Bonus points if said person says in all chat
“Amazing revive medic omg” afterwards

[heady gale]

Omg TBB gaming

[grave stump]

Today i had the sickest thing happen to me in battlefield but i didnt record it

I shot someone across the C area in hagental 7 times with AK 205 leaving them at few hp

To finish them off i chugged the nade at like 80M out, he peaked and got directly hit withvit

And died to impact grenade damage

[steel zephyr]

i like torches they make me want to go lady gaga all over them

[gloomy oracle]

you do that all the time with every gun leaving people witha few hp

[steel zephyr]

like dance around them

[grave stump]

My first grenade kill without it actually exploding

[gloomy oracle]

ez KS inc

[oak hamlet]

good shift today jant

[stoic tusk]

got to get the magical one where it randomly bounces off them till they die then exsplodes killing the medic

[grave stump]

I hate when i get revived on top of grenade

[flint gorge]

Im curious how do people manage their time if they have a job and play this game ?

[grave stump]

I went 38:0 with ak205 died, got revived and exploded 0.1s later ruining my perfect kda

[lost kettle]

they dont. its a leap of faith.

[flint gorge]

bruh

[stoic tusk]

nothing worce i dunno how people cant see the nade

[lost kettle]

[slender epoch]

205 is just a chill gun

[flint gorge]

man I feel so lonely again being a BF veteran without a job LOL

I was truly ahead of my time LOL

[grave stump]

Quite opposite

[lost kettle]

whats 205

[grave stump]

Ak 205

[lost kettle]

the lmg?

[slender epoch]

yes 🐝

[grave stump]

Carbine

[lost kettle]

um

okay

[grave stump]

Pretty bad carbine too

Probably the worst carbine in the game

[heady gale]

M121 A2 ain’t that bad actually

[slender epoch]

lowkey it’s not but cook

[lost kettle]

slackkkakakak

[junior thorn]

was prolly the best lmg pre update idk how much they messed it up with recoil tho

[heady gale]

It’s the reload that ruins it

[grave stump]

Which carbine do you personally believe is worse

[junior thorn]

well BESIDES drs

[slender epoch]

i’m not comparing it to other carbines

[heady gale]

M123K best actual LMG

[slender epoch]

i said it wasn’t a bad carbine

[junior thorn]

123 is a damn laser

idk they're all pretty good i'm not sure how i'd rank em tbh

[grave stump]

It feels like kord but worse

Sure it can “beam” people at 40-50M range

But so can kord. And kord doesnt have pathetic up close ttk

[vocal ore]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

That is all.

You may continue.

[grave stump]

The amount of cqb encounters i would have won if i had any other carbine in my hand but 205 are staggering

[slender epoch]

you flipping your desk

[candid edge]

🫡

[vocal ore]

Stats. Are. Pointless.

[grave stump]

Buff russian ammo

[gloomy oracle]

give me bots for teammates dice, actually better off dear god

[vocal ore]

Remember in BF 1942 when I had lots of kills and no deaths..?

Nobody remembers.

Nobody cares

[slender epoch]

i care

🫂

[lost kettle]

aww

[vocal ore]

https://tenor.com/view/serviceindustey-waiting-gif-24735349

[gloomy oracle]

hes lying he hates everyone

[grave stump]

Stats arent pointless

[lost kettle]

ah rude

[grave stump]

They arent the most important tho

They speak about experience and game knowledge

[lost kettle]

basically ingame level haha

[grave stump]

If someone tells me
“Bro trust me this gun is the best” and i look their tracker

And they have 0.3kd with it and 80 kills total

I likely wont trust their opinion

[gloomy oracle]

in game level means nothing

[lost kettle]

it means a lot

[gloomy oracle]

there are people level 600-900 with 0.9k/d and 50k bots kills

[lost kettle]

game experience, sweat-o-meter

[junior thorn]

bro trust me the db12 is slept on

[lost kettle]

maybe some

[slender epoch]

a gun doesn’t reach its true potential until you level it up. time to incubate.

[grave stump]

Few days ago i met a guy with level 6000

[lost kettle]

show me your tracker

[gloomy oracle]

its like majority you can literally tell by leaderboards

[chilly crag]

Stats don’t mean anything in a battlefield game and have no relation to someone’s competency or skill

[junior thorn]

it's in my bio but i'm obviously joking and have 0 kills with it

[grave stump]

And other jokes you can tell to make yourself laugh

[lost kettle]

but i met a level 600 in gauntlet and he was on a different level

[junior thorn]

however after i finish this garbage umg it's on to shotties

[lost kettle]

[grave stump]

I am sorry but saying stats are fully irrelevant is crazy

And dont speak about skill

[chilly crag]

You can have any stats you want in BF6

[slender epoch]

go off

[grave stump]

If u are 0.2 kd and 100 points per minute you are basically a bot in the lobby and i dont mean you personally just example

[lost kettle]

cant a guy increase his kd as a tank gunner with five engineers behind him?

[grave stump]

Tracker doesnt show tank kills i am pretty sure

[lost kettle]

100 points per minute? wdym

[chilly crag]

Yeah that’s the point, you can play in any way you want if you happen to value a specific stat

[lost kettle]

awh

[lost kettle]

[grave stump]

Battlefield tracker has a “points per minute” track
Meaning how much points you earn on average per minute

[lost kettle]

like kills?

[grave stump]

It measures skill/competence of someone even if they dont do lots of killing

[lost kettle]

huh

[grave stump]

All points

[lost kettle]

where do i see my ppm?

[grave stump]

Revives resupplies capturing damaging vehicle

[grave stump]

Whats ur ign

[lost kettle]

nice

[lost kettle]

AimSnipes

the steam acc

[chilly crag]

You can have a 500 K/D if you really want to, you can have a 100% accuracy rating on a gun if you really want to. I don’t really feel like playing in the ways that would be necessary for that, but looking at someone’s stats and assuming anything about them is ignorant at best

[slender epoch]

whose talking about ppm

[lost kettle]

me, points per minit

[grave stump]

Level 52?

[lost kettle]

yes sir

[grave stump]

530

[lost kettle]

so does that mean im good?

[chilly crag]

Depends on the game modes you play

[grave stump]

Its fine

[lost kettle]

mostly gauntlet

[grave stump]

You are above average player

[lost kettle]

huzzah!

[heady gale]

[grave stump]

When me and lifeless went to Domination or whatever the name is. We went 20 wins 1 lose

Now my tracker shows i am a god with 90% recent winrate 🤣

Nope 😭😭

[grave stump]

Better mag?

[heady gale]

Gonna be a side scope probs

[grave stump]

What gun is it

[heady gale]

M121 A2

[grave stump]

Ah lmao

Maybe just add different grip

Like ribbed stubby instead of angled

[heady gale]

Nah ribbed my beloved

[grave stump]

Okay i am out of ideas xD

[lost kettle]

remove all the attachments then try again

[gentle lion]

Quick question does anyone know if the Dire Courage charm released yet?

[lost kettle]

like tetris, stack the attachments

[lost kettle]

no sir

[grave stump]

Better ammo?

[chilly crag]

Bro I had no idea gun charms were in this game

[heady gale]

Pen ammo goated

[lost kettle]

idk is what i meant sir

Anyone seen or heard updates about return of Initiation Battle Royale?

(any timelines, progress, reason not to fix, from developers, anything?)... seems a bit of a hot topic on the forums and still nothing a week later.

As far as I was aware there was nothing wrong with it before the update, perhaps just cut and paste the old code back in its place?

The "direct Communications" channel above says, re the lighting issue, "We are now working on resolving this in our next client update." ... can anyone explain to me what "next client update" might mean in a technical or procedural sense, does it mean as some kind of "hot-fix" (re the fix on the airplane in Goldmund) or rather waiting for some major update in a months time?

[heady gale]

M121 is actually insane

[oak hamlet]

positibe play charter

[slow rapids]

they've acknowledged that they're aware of it and working on a fix, that's abt it

generally updates are every 2 weeks

[celest flint]

thanks for reply, but I think that aknowledgment was the one >= 1 week ago, was wondering if anyone heard anything since. Sad that the bug not to allow the game to commence killed the whole mode and that change couldn't jut be reverted until they worked it out.

[celest flint]

hmmmm. I see. but the airplane/goldmund fix was quick. so there must be multiple strategies. my suggestion is they prioritise this one that so many ppl were focused on. hope the folks stick around long enough for the two weeks or return thereafter though if thats the case.

[slow rapids]

from what I can tell, the bug is bad enough it requires a client patch to fix, and I don't think they can justify an emergency hotfix patch, and reverting the update isn't an option since it's the season starter and has financial interest for them. unfortunately I think it lands in the "will fix in next scheduled update window" kinda deal, as much as it sucks

certifying patches for Steam, EA, and both consoles takes some time

[celest flint]

i'm seeing so few of my initBR friends online, and the ones on play a cpl of other games and then go offline

[celest flint]

yeah bugger

[oak hamlet]

nice try, positive play charter diddy

[slow rapids]

the golmud jet thing was a data issue that they were able to fix server side, and pulling the jet out of rotation was also a server side action, and those don't require patch certification since there's nothing being changed on the end users client, only what the server is telling the client. the redsec stuff looks to be actual proper programming issues

[celest flint]

thanks for the replies. guess (obviously) I should play less anyway haha. so maybe a blessing in disguise.

[oak hamlet]

i saw that message and it wasn't very representative of the ppc

what's the ppc, you might ask?

why it's the positive play charter, silly!

we run a tight ship around here, look at it this way:
if you were following the positive play charter no action would have been taken against you
thank you for your attention to this matter!

[slow trench]

the burst on the m16a4 feels awful

[hollow eagle]

I'm second that

[hallow geode]

So you can take a bots place in a heli if they're a teammate but if a bot squadmate sits in gunner seat then a teammate isn't allowed to take the bots seat lmao

I will need to do some experimenting and see if kicking the bot from the squad means you can take their seat

Does anyone know jow to rebind the switch switch weapon key? I fkig cant stand everytime i try to revive i pick up there weapon

[midnight nymph]

As free to play, i dont own multiplayer. Whats the fastest way for me to rank up guns? Thanks.

[misty trellis]

In my opinion, probably gauntlet. You have more gun fights so you have a better chance of getting more kills

Also Bf6 had multiplayer free weekends often so you could utilize that when it is around

[tiny wind]

I very much suspect that's a shared interact key. I recommend you instead take that extra quarter of a second to make sure the revive prompt is on your screen, rather than the pick up kit prompt. 😊

[woeful kestrel]

wth is going on with enemy visibility?

it's even worse than before

[slender sapphire]

Its just stupid, it used to be separated keys，devs are seriously not playing their game

[tiny wind]

Guessing it's a choice to bind a bunch of misc interactions to one key to work for consoles with fewer buttons than M&K. You're also the first person I've seen complain about this particular issue.

[tiny wind]

Point taken. There are two dozen of you. Either way, it does seem a step back if it was a separate option in the past.

[simple flint]

I'd like to suggest a toggle for Portal servers for in-map out of bounds zones and blocked terrain ladder restrictions. I'm thinking mainly of the recent Manhattan Bridge changes here, it seems absurd to me to have an urban map with roofs all not allowed, so I think there should be a Portal option to disable all that stuff for those that want it.

[stone pasture]

so, apparently for some reason the magnifier in BF6 isn't actually a magnifier

It multiplies the zoom of whatever sight you are using with it by either 3 or 2x

[torn peak]

isn't that what a magnifier is ? it magnifies ?

[stone pasture]

yeah, but it's supposed to be a static amount, not a multiplier

the eotech magnifier they use is I believe the 3x, and that is supposed to bring all the sights to 3x

it's just such weird coding and they had perfectly fine magnifiers in BF4

[cursive temple]

Why always bring other older games in the mix 😂

[kindred gate]

Will there be an update soon? The support ressuply teammates with support pouches challenge is bugged

[cursive temple]

Let's hope next week

[stone pasture]

bro, I'm stating that they previously had magnifers that worked fine, and was confused why they decided to do something so weird

[torn peak]

because its a new different game

[heady gale]

Always gonna happen, it’s usually a bad argument

[torn peak]

it always reminds me of the old man sitting on his porch telling how in his time it was so much better

[heady gale]

Back in my day

[tall zinc]

it might seem odd, but there is a reason why, this is how flip mount magnifiers work on weapons in practice

Believe me they’re not the first
Seems people don’t want to take the time going through their settings etc.
They just wanna jump straight in and expect everything to work how they expect it to work.
There’s also a few people who don’t realise you don’t have to hold the E key or which ever console button it is to drag revive. But you do have to hold the key/button to swap kits.

[stray eagle]

what were they smoking when they rebalanced vehicles on this map

I've gone 11-16 in this conquest match, all 11 kills were driving a tank, and all 16 deaths were to tanks/helis/planes

there are 2 roles, pilot/driver and vehicle support

nobody does anything else

the entire team is engi, literally every single person on my team is engi

and all but 3 on the enemy team

the entire map feels like it was designed with clipfarming in mind

if its not creating clips of streamers getting a 200 killstreak then its not being developed

the entire map feels staggeringly empty because 2/3 of the lobby is inside a vehicle

the rpg is useless, the javelin is nearly useless, the anti air launcher is useless, and the igla is useless with a useless gimmick

[dense ember]

my support specialist 2 challenge is bugged and wont track resupplying anybody with the supply pouch. does anybody know a fix

[fiery oxide]

Consider playing better

[deft oasis]

Try unequipping and re-equipping the Supply Pack, then restart the game. A lot of challenge tracking bugs fix themselves after that. If it still doesn’t track, try resupplying random teammates in a fresh lobby instead of friends or bots. Sometimes the progress only counts in public matches. Might just be another bug on Arrowhead’s side honestly

[dense ember]

ok i'll give that a try

thx

[deft oasis]

yeah hopefully that fixes it

[dense ember]

sadly it didnt seem to

[deft oasis]

Challenge tracking in Helldivers 2 has been pretty inconsistent lately

[dense ember]

oh then restart the game duh

[stray eagle]

how

I can't even get out of spawn in a tank without dying

my average kpm on this map is like 0.15

I played an entire match in the anti air, 35 minutes, I got two whole kills

managed to get jets to pop flares like 200 times though, I'm sure that helped the team lose

[ashen oar]

[stray eagle]

I've died to the same little bird 3 times in the first 2 minutes of this game

[fringe fossil]

Anyone else having random crashes? Doesn't matter what mode/map?

[stray eagle]

yeah

[crimson garden]

Penguin says that Battlefield should save us friends

[brittle iris]

Where did the railway to golmud conquest only map go? Can only get the a&d now

[dense ember]

yeah so the challenge is still bugged and its been so for days

[stray eagle]

18 deaths so far in this match, 16 of them were to enemy little birds

theres no escaping them

how do I die to an air-air missile WHILE MY FLARES ARE FIRING

[heady gale]

This is why we play breakthrough

[fringe fossil]

I wish it would, my guy. 🥲 Lots of skilled players this week, lol! I even gave up on using my hardware boosters since I'm getting out-aimed or random ping spikes. 😭 Its getting to me. xD

[swift verge]

This spot 300 enemies at objectives recon challenge got me tweaking

[lyric raft]

Why ? 😬

[kind bane]

Just load casual breaktrough and fly with drone above the objective.

[swift verge]

Drone ain't doing shit

Only thing that seems to work is the motion sensor

[fiery oxide]

Took me like 3-4 games to complete

[flat fox]

That’s a good change for the map

Wow

[elfin willow]

a bug that has gotten so much worse since S3 came out, lock ons go through flares like 50% off the time now

[lyric raft]

Find a good spot to hide your Tugs then run off and hide.
But maybe hide in an advantageous place where you can view the point and just ping away

[kind bane]

Weird, for me, drone, tugs and ADS spotting worked.

[elfin willow]

if you press q with the drone it doesn't count, you have to let the drone do the spotting automatically for you

helps if you zoom in

[valid roost]

Nice, Eastwood Escalation should be much better with those changes!

[carmine pasture]

Anybody have issues in redsec. One my screen starts ro shows blue stars. Secon it goes just white. Also in mp bad screen tearing sometimes. Ps5 pro.

[stray eagle]

Except when I'm shooting them apparently

[charred ibex]

Escalation should be less vehicle intensive in later stages

[stray eagle]

Maybe it's specific to one type of missile

This one was the fighter jet air to air missile

[fiery oxide]

Probably just more people using the IGLA properly

[heady gale]

Isn’t the whole gimmick of escalation being vehicle intensive

[charred ibex]

Not fun for infantry trying to ptfo

[lyric raft]

Do you realise that all your comments are leaving you open to skill issue comments ? 😬🙈

[gleaming totem]

I'm wondering how bad the winrate is for them to actually change quite a bit

[charred ibex]

I barely see it in the killfeed

[stray eagle]

Bit difficult to skill issue not shooting lock ons through flares

[valid roost]

Do you mean that you feel there are too many vehicles at the end, or too many vehicles all of a sudden?

[vivid egret]

Ps5 Asia

[stray eagle]

Too many vehicles for how strong they are

[torn peak]

cheaters on ps5 ?

[lyric raft]

You playing mainly pc or console ?
Coz I’ve seen loads this past couple weeks, might be due to the hardware catch up challenge 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

[charred ibex]

Could be both
Especially when there’s only 3 objs left and one team realized they have vehicles left behind

[valid roost]

Vehicles are as strong as they should be IMO. Both teams have the same vehicle availability also

[fiery oxide]

Slightly skewed on Golmud conquest

[worn tiger]

Fix the damn white glare on Redsec!!!!

[heady gale]

Cronus isn’t exactly easy to prove

[valid roost]

the only think I feel is too OP for vehicle right now...is how fast they regen armor, and how fast the start regenning that armor

[charred ibex]

Why do platforms matter here?

[gleaming totem]

Honestly, some times I notice that there are more tanks than players wanting to use a tank, during the escalation endgame

[lyric raft]

I was just giving you a friendly heads up.
You carry on soldier
I’ve got my bucket of popcorn 🤪

[charred ibex]

So are other 🐟 3rd party hardware on consoles

[fringe fossil]

Yeah some objectives are insane too. But I'm just not having matches that even feel fair. Not like close fights or anything

[heady gale]

Tbh Cronus is the only one really, there are others but not as common

[tall zinc]

used to be, not anymore

[spark dragon]

I avoid half the maps basically because they're all so unendingly bright... something needs to be done because Golmud looks good despite being a sunny map

[ripe plaza]

Not to mention even games like Elden ring people were rigging data saves affecting online multiplayer pvp, modding weapons, skills, and spells. Let's not forget that... on a console like ps5

[tall zinc]

can't say here, check friend reqs

[charred ibex]

Eh that’s a different kind of story here

[lyric raft]

Because I’m on console with cross play off so maybe it’s just all us low skill, newbie console players who are using the IGLA ? 🤔

[tiny wind]

Use the drone heavily in breakthrough and escalation. Should speed things up considerably.

[ripe plaza]

Not really. How many skill issue comments are going to continue when it raises an eye bro (word intentional) someone atuo-aiming at you spraying at a wall or rock cover for no reason? 🤔

[lone nebula]

w escaltion update, now do it with breakthrough on madhattn bridge

[young heart]

Any else have issue with the game since season 3 uodate, golmud oftenly not much playable in portal due to connectivity issue / packet lose icon showing in the top left of my screen, checked my internet connection all good, so seem like server / ea side! Seen other couple mentionning those issue, is this gonna be adresssed? Cuz damn the game feeled off since season 3 drop… im on xbox btw and never had that issue before!

[charred ibex]

Tbf I feel that though , wayy too often I got tagged around the corners by consoles, pretty annoying

[gleaming totem]

But honestly, I doubt that these complains are mostly legit.

I have a bottom tier K/D ratio, and even I got called cheater and wallhacker multiple times, just because people suck at being aware of their limbs sticking out

[stray eagle]

dude why am I getting this get.device.removed.reason crash again

[young heart]

People are crybaby, k/d doesnt matter in a game were the objectif and squad play is all that matter!

[stray eagle]

I thought this was over 10 months ago

[ripe plaza]

This isn't pubg. Why is it I play better in older battlefield series than I do on 6?

[stray eagle]

but its back

[ripe plaza]

I am not even that good either.

[charred ibex]

On PC I barely see infantry going after planes and choppers

[ripe plaza]

My favorite is when I get auto-aimed when I spot-spamming, on bots that'd be normal.

[gleaming totem]

why do I play worse in S3 now than before 🤷‍♂️ and my stats were also better in BF1, and this truly wasn't cheater free

[heady gale]

KD my beloved

[somber schooner]

Hitreg is very awful this season

[versed moon]

[somber schooner]

Could be the reason

[versed moon]

Feels bout the same as s2 ngl

[stray eagle]

hitreg feels fine for me

I just perform really shittily on large maps

[versed moon]

same high ping issues rest is pretty fine

[charred ibex]

In recent updates bots are seriously aimbotting now, they aren’t pushovers

[somber schooner]

I feel a difference in sniping ngl

[gleaming totem]

That should hit both sides tho

[versed moon]

cant say i did the last 900 snipe kills this season

[swift verge]

Ahhh

[swift verge]

I'll give it another whirl

[stray eagle]

like I enjoy a large map, but the fact that every large map has to have 12 tanks 10 choppers and 6 jets is a little much

[lyric raft]

To be honest I do favour the RPG but I did have fun targeting the aircraft with an IGLA and watching them pop their flares 😈

[somber schooner]

Perhaps im just shit at the game😛

[gleaming totem]

... <bayonet charges anyways>

[charred ibex]

Boi you play BF with a COD mentality

[versed moon]

perhaps your region / ping is worse

Your telling taking estrogen would make me better at the game????

Sign me up

[pale frost]

Linux support when?

[charred ibex]

100 star bayonet charge goes ahhhhh

[versed moon]

never ever

[charred ibex]

When they figure out how to make the anti cheat work in a Linux environment first

[versed moon]

Bf6 aint ever getting official linux support

[charred ibex]

They probably will if they want to support steam machines

[pale frost]

^

[modest jackal]

Huh, didn't expect Eastwood Escalation to get changed.

[charred ibex]

The last 3 objs are way too cramped

The pacing and flow are incoherent

[modest jackal]

It did feel odd that C, D and E used to be pretty close to each other.

[gleaming totem]

Biggest issue I had with C was that the spawnpoints were just crazy open

[pale frost]

the issue is linux gamers make up like 2% of total gaming pop, probs make just as much noise about things when they break as binbows.
but just enabling linux support would be a system toggle.
most people that game wont even bother moving over from binbows to linux.
so it'll be legit players & the odd cheater, and the cheaters would be so blatant that basic level anti cheat would work from seeing " bob down got 100 headshots in a game with 101 kills and 300+ metres" - game length was 15min

[sturdy spindle]

someone here said rpk is 6 shot kill at 35m

[modest jackal]

Funny that it's now technically bigger.

[glad yarrow]

:/

[charred ibex]

I’m fed up with micoslop and their forced updates on windows
Valve actually knows better when it comes to techs in games.

[pale frost]

I swear I read somewhere that binbows is trying to create a minimalist OS and using steamOS as the baseline for performance

[lost kettle]

you mean rkpm?

[sturdy spindle]

the original rpk

[lost kettle]

isnt rkpm the original?

[charred ibex]

🥴 no hopes for their coding mess

[gleaming totem]

But I'm sure it will be better now. Tanks should not be able to spawnkill a lot while being on the street next to E / HQ

[sturdy spindle]

idk i dont play with non meta

[lost kettle]

[lost kettle]

[versed moon]

doa thanks to price and specs

[barren heath]

[charred ibex]

We don’t have a price yet

[gleaming totem]

look at hardware prices in general, doesn't matter

[charred ibex]

Well it’s something out of valve’s control regardless

Doesn’t mean it should be that way

[gleaming totem]

Yeah, but with the economy as it is, it feels every kind of hardware is doomed to doa pretty easily

[charred ibex]

🤖 is eating everything up

[gleaming totem]

I mean, this is also the first gen were console prices go up instead of down

[charred ibex]

Imagine what price it would be like for ps6 and new Xbox if this trend continues.

[versed moon]

wont be great thanks to the shortages. Rdna 2 specs

I love valve and their tech but the steam machina is kinda screwed

[charred ibex]

Don’t forget the ram shortage as well, consumer electronics are kind of screwed rn.

[versed moon]

thats what i mean with shortages.

[gleaming totem]

even freaking SD cards get more expensive, it's beyond crazy

[versed moon]

Great product wrong time. Maybe steam machine 2/3/4 will be it

[serene cave]

I’ve gotta admit, compared to everything else consoles and games etc stayed pretty cheap comparatively

[versed moon]

phones, routers, laptops ect

[serene cave]

i’m sure with ram shortages we’ll see a spike in the next gen’s tho

[versed moon]

for now, even the consoles got a price hike. I imagine the ps6 could get delayed or even start at the pro prices

[charred ibex]

Only for the machine itself, for the whole experience it’s not.

[serene cave]

I was looking at upgrading my pc or buying one of those costco prebuilts. When i built mine it was 1200, and those nifty costco prebuilts were around 1800. Now its like 2400

[gleaming totem]

probably delayed.

Customers are not gonna spent as much if a ps6 releases in this situation anyways

[versed moon]

even the machine got a price hike. A ps5 pro is a 1000 usd in the netherlands

[serene cave]

oh for sure. I took a hiatus after bf1 from gaming in general. Imagine my surprise coming back to micro transactions galore

[versed moon]

Consumers wil consume

[gleaming totem]

Only as much as the budget allows, and when the limit is hit, it's a matter of priorities

[versed moon]

thats what people said when iphones casually hit a grand

[serene cave]

smart consumers have a limit and budget. most just go into debt

[versed moon]

do not underestimate a consumers ability to consume

[tiny wind]

I made a forum post about teams in BF6 often being unbalanced. Feel free to join in if you have thoughts. https://forums.ea.com/discussions/battlefield-6-general-discussion-en/teams-are-too-often-massively-unbalanced/13421713

[serene cave]

to be fair, iphones aren’t the only ones into the thousands, they’ve been on the 1-1400 range for a while and pretty good value, android too

[lost kettle]

depends ig

[versed moon]

And people happily buy those. Albeit they last longer now

[valid roost]

They probably wont care about Steam Machines. Sure BF6 team would like their game available on it, but BF6 team, and EA Anti-cheat team arent the same.

[serene cave]

i’m people lol. my 15 pro max is kicking along and will continue for a while

[versed moon]

i doubt bf6 will be on the steam machine

[tiny wind]

The Javelin team did specifically hire a senior Linux developer earlier in the year.

[versed moon]

i got a 16pm for the first time. Hoping it would last longer than my 12

[versed moon]

hell yeah, still dount we will get bf6 on linux. Maybe bf7/8

[charred ibex]

Yeah, that hints something big for EA

[tiny wind]

Why would they bother with developing Javelin for Linux if they weren't plotting Apex and BF6 on Linux?

[lost kettle]

why

[charred ibex]

Not to mention the EA sports games

[tiny wind]

Obviously because they want Javelin to support Linux, removing the primary roadblock for BF6 on Steam Machines.

[lost kettle]

whats a steam machine now

[versed moon]

No official price yet

[charred ibex]

[tiny wind]

Valve's pre-built PCs with SteamOS, releasing soemtime later this year.

[lost kettle]

valve makes pcs now?

[tiny wind]

Have tried to break into that market for a decade. Steam Deck was their first success though.

[lost kettle]

the steam deck looks so good

have you heard of the steaam controller>?

[charred ibex]

They tried that before, but first steam machine/console is a flop

[versed moon]

hard flop

[tiny wind]

Sure was, because they relied on others to build the dang things. This is first party, and the hype is over the moon.

[versed moon]

if the steam machine releases a year or 2 prior it would have sold so well. Idk who would want a rdna2 mid tier cube for probably to much

[tiny wind]

Also, not to be that guy, but #battlefield-6

[lost kettle]

?

[tiny wind]

We're well off topic here.

[serene cave]

How do you guys feel about the class balance?

been seeing talk about it lately

[lyric raft]

Peeps be thinking they in general chat 🤪

[tiny wind]

Any particular issues popping up? I think all four classes are highly useful in the right hands.

If anything, people are sleeping on the power of recon doing recon, rather than just sniping in a corner of the map.

[charred ibex]

Assaults are still underpowered

[lyric raft]

What balance ?
The locked weapons tile is unnoticeable so most players be on ALL the open weapons servers/modes
I’ve seen engineers running with snipers and recons with smg’s 🤪

[tiny wind]

Classes are balanced by other things than their primary weapons, you know.

[tiny wind]

True, Adrenaline is utterly forgettable. Assaults could really use some extra sauce, as their only real advantages are GLs and the spawn beacon.

[sturdy spindle]

adrenaline is op af wym

[serene cave]

I bring it up cause i’ve seen some youtubers call to split support back to classic BF but im not sure i love that tbh, BUT I do think assault needs some sorta buff to the class itself but the class usage split seems pretty even if anything biased to engineer

[versed moon]

instead of carbines and dmrs

[versed moon]

now all they gotta do is fix the assault passive

weapons being unlocked really is a non issue to me. The only thing i really think 2042 did ok

[lost kettle]

whats the whole point of adrenaline except for the weird screen effect? no regen

[tiny wind]

On one hand, I see how a medpack would give Assault the extra sauce it needs, but on the other hand, I do NOT miss the BF4 days of Assaults being self-healing combat monsters.

[sturdy spindle]

speed boost during combat

[versed moon]

make ladder or spawn beacon its passive. Fixed class

[tiny wind]

And slightly better soldier visibility. Unless you're trying to play CoD, it does not matter.

[lyric raft]

Yeah I know
But I’m long in the tooth so only time I change from a classes standard weapon is when I’m chasing challenges.
I do however agree the Assault class is the lesser because of the Stim Pen thing

[lost kettle]

oh speed boost. of course movement demon would know

[serene cave]

I mean that’s kinda what support is, but it’s also pretty quick for the health regen go kick in so i find myself just tossing my ammo pack as ammo for people most of the time

[serene cave]

That’s what i’m thinking would be pretty neat

[sturdy spindle]

but this game is cod #screenshots-and-clips message

[lost kettle]

how are you playing the game like cod

pls teach me

[serene cave]

along with giving assault a passive beacon or ladder, give smokes to all classes

then assault can run around and be effective without relying on support for smokes

[sturdy spindle]

assault carries 5 explosives at a time

or u can equip invincibility

[tiny wind]

By frying his brain on stimulants, turning up the techno, and jumping onto his belly during every firefight.

[lost kettle]

hmm makes sens

[lyric raft]

By only playing CQC modes

[sturdy spindle]

every mode has the same cqc sections

[tiny wind]

Hmm, I am ambivalent on that one. On one hand, smokes to support pushes and tank assassinations are cool. On the other hand, it would further empower really close range weapons in the hands of Assault and Engie, and I don't want that.

[sturdy spindle]

if u know how to abuse ladder u can get the drop on anyone

and u capture objectives faster too

[serene cave]

That’s a fair point actually didn’t think about cqc

[serene cave]

ahhh i forgot about that about assault

[tiny wind]

Yeah, smokes are a hard counter to anyone with a long range gun, so CQC gets more powerful, and I think we get quite enough of that thanks.

[sturdy spindle]

ur problem is thinking the meta close range weapons also dont function at long range

[tiny wind]

They function, just not as well.

[sturdy spindle]

whoever is using a "long range" weapon is at a disadvantage no matter what

[tiny wind]

Nah. The B36 can bring you down with two bursts at mid range, the TR-7 has to tap fire to hope for a hit.

[sturdy spindle]

b36 is super meta gun for close and far range though

but if u have to burst with it, ur build is bad

[tiny wind]

Also, you are assuming everyone is equally capable at recoil control. They're not. A slow TTK gun that hits is infinitely better than a fast one that misses every shot.

[sturdy spindle]

almost every gun shares the same recoil pattern though

theres only like 3 guns that u dont have to move

[slender sapphire]

Anyone know how to get rid of the screen protection bs thats preventing me from taking screenshots and vid recording?

[tiny wind]

[x] Doubt

[serene cave]

ya know what i wouldn’t mind to help with combat, slow down the velocities a little bit to force people to lead more etc

[sturdy spindle]

the velocities are slow af already

[tiny wind]

I do actually think they have it down pretty well. A sub 700m/s gun is gonna need to pace its shot and lead quite a bit.

[sturdy spindle]

average smg can barely pass 500 bullet velocity

[serene cave]

maybe i’m in an echo chamber but i feel like a lot of the guns are in the 8-900 range, no?

[sturdy spindle]

only if u add extended

[modest jackal]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a reduction to that on ARs and LMGs.

For Carbines, it really depends.

SMGs should just be untouched on Bullet Velocity.

[tiny wind]

I think not. I think the P90 is the only SMG that can get close, LMGs mostly only hit 900 if you extend the barrels, and ARs range from 500 to 1100 m/s depending how you build 'em.

[sturdy spindle]

ur gun should have light barrel most of the time

or ur nerfing urself

[heady gale]

If it adds muzzle velocity I put it on

[tiny wind]

Depends what range I am building for. Why spend points upping velocity on a shotgun?

[heady gale]

Shotgun = slugs

Slugs = mini DMR

[modest jackal]

There's no option to extend the Bullet Velocity on a Shotgun (Wdym by Bad Example? It's literally a fact).

I.e No Barrel Options.

[tiny wind]

Bad example, but you pick up what I am putting down, right? I am not going to be spending my M433 upgrade points on bringing it to 800M/S when I use that thing at 30m anyway.

[modest jackal]

Yeah.

I know that.

Of course I'm not giving up Heavy Extended on the L85A3, since it's a Mid-Long Range Demon.

[tiny wind]

Especially because muzzle velocity does nothing to compensate for damage drop off. What's it matter that your MP5 can nail a guy at 75m when it does 9 damage anyway?

[heady gale]

absolutely disgusting gun

[tiny wind]

I really do wish the game UI would show us the guns' damage at various ranges, instead of only at knife range.

[heady gale]

Been saying this, an actual detailed page of stats would be so good

Like a recoil pattern instead of just a number

Or damage ranges

[tiny wind]

I do understand the dillemma of the UI designers. They have folks like us demanding detail, while the more casual player gets drowned out if there are too many minute details. Not everyone appreciates a Synthetik 2 style gun stats sheet.

[cursive temple]

The stats change constantly i think that's the reason it's not there

[tiny wind]

If they've done their programming right, the UI reflects the damage in the code, they don't need to manually maintain the UI.

[modest jackal]

IDK, I don't think it would be a bad idea to use BO6/BO7's Stat Page.

Except with some of the Bars tweaked around (Like going even further with Range Details).

[sturdy spindle]

bo67 has a lot of useless info

[heady gale]

Info is useful

[sturdy spindle]

its just identical across all guns

they dont have anything extra compared to bf6 besides slide to fire and jump to fire speed

[valid roost]

It does show the max and min damage tho

[tiny wind]

As a UX professional, I can definitely say you're wrong. Info that is inconsequential or unchanging just adds noise, makes it harder to find the relevant bits.

[sturdy spindle]

[modest jackal]

Yeah, ProfessorMem pointed out Stat Mistakes.

[valid roost]

As a UX professional, you should know that they already show most of the stats youre asking for lol

[sturdy spindle]

as a professional player, just run the meta and u wont have problems

[spare basin]

I wonder what the three maps for Season 5 will be.

[valid roost]

You'd think a UX professional would look at the UI/UX before making blanket statements lol

[brisk dock]

Hopefully something new and not a another remake

If we do get a remake I would love for it to be that Chang Wei map from BF4

[spare basin]

IT sayt the roadmap offers hints but I dunno what that could mean

[brisk dock]

Guess we’ll just wait and see they’ll probably just more info the closer we get to it.

[steel zephyr]

Add buffalo wild wings to battlefield 6

[sturdy spindle]

when they adding locker and metro

[heady gale]

I just want siege of Shanghai

[brisk dock]

You’re making me hungry and I just woke up fam 😭

[brisk dock]

Battlefield 7 😂

[spare basin]

That is a terrible idea right now we need a good chunk of larger Golmud maps before we add more grindhouses lol

As much as I have a soft spot for both those maps

[brisk dock]

That would be very welcomed for another remake

[sturdy spindle]

make a metro locker hagantal 24/7 playlist with airplanes enabled

[heady gale]

Siege of Shanghai on breakthrough…

I can see it already

[modest jackal]

I think one of the S5 Maps might be Dawnbreaker.

[spare basin]

I wanna see them do some proper levellution we haven't seen that in a good while

[valid roost]

Weve had it since season 1 in REDSEC

[brisk dock]

With more buildings to enter with elevators…

Sniper heaven haha

[heady gale]

A girl can pray I suppose

[brisk dock]

I gave up hope for levellution on this game. It doesn’t seem like a priority oddly

That and an a option for 124 players

I wouldn’t mind some navy warfare that was also one of my favorite parts about BF4

Idk if bf3 had it I didn’t play that one much.

[spare basin]

Well at least you're getting the third one with season 4

[heady gale]

So close to getting this gun to level 50

[spare basin]

And as for 128 players... yeah no not on these maps not without hella work to make that happen

[brisk dock]

Which one?

[heady gale]

M121 A2

[brisk dock]

Yea. I can see it working for Golmud

[heady gale]

I knew it wouldn’t be bad to use, but didn’t think I’d enjoy it as much as I have

[devout horizon]

they wont even give us 64 players in every game mode, never mind 128

i dont think DICE can make maps for 128 players, 2042 proved that

[brisk dock]

I think my M4A1 is 48 lol. That was my favorite gun for the longest. Now I main the QBZ

[modest jackal]

Nice.

[valid roost]

No to 128P modes, and not all modes need to even be 64 Player.

[spare basin]

Sucks cause like... it sounds like it could be a fun idea but... yeah no not without the maps and game design to back it up

[heady gale]

I got three guns left to get to 50 after this then I’m all done with em

[spare basin]

2042 did alot of experimenting, some of which i can appreciate but... yeah not all of those experiments worked

[brisk dock]

Yeah, I would like to believe part of the bad map design for that game was because it was on old gen as well.

[modest jackal]

Boy, I tell you hwat. The SL9 in Burst definitely caught me off guard on how good it actually is.

[sturdy spindle]

why u out here bursting a gun with zero recoil

[brisk dock]

Lol

[versed moon]

so close to being able to play the game

im slacking on my battlefield grind

[devout horizon]

bf4 had lots of really good maps while having the same issue, they released that game on the xbox360

[modest jackal]

SL9 Burst actually kills faster. No joke.

[versed moon]

it increases ROF

[modest jackal]

Yup.

[devout horizon]

more rof even accounting for the burst delay

[spare basin]

Yeah if you didn't see the roadmap Season 4 has naval warfare with a new Tsuru Reef map and the return of Wake Island

[versed moon]

I tried it

inst tsuru reef gonna be bigger than golmud even?

[heady gale]

So close…

[brisk dock]

Yea. My only problem with the main was just the movement. But I was more of a cod boi back then lol

[valid roost]

BF4 also had a lot of bad maps

[modest jackal]

The SL9 Burst made me wish that the Burst Fire Attachment on other Weapons were like it.

[devout horizon]

the SL9 and GRT-BC are the only 2 guns where the burst attachment actually does something, the other guns the cost for what you get, which is minimal, is terrible

[brisk dock]

Take my wallet…

[cursive temple]

It's free

[modest jackal]

Yeah, tragic.

[brisk dock]

Nah I’ma drop ANOTHER $70

[versed moon]

nvo on burst would be nasty since it makes it more accurate

[devout horizon]

i wouldnt say BF4 had a lot of bad maps, they were all enjoyable in some way, maybe some of the naval stike maps were a bit odd

[versed moon]

alot of
Mid maps and a few bad ones

[brisk dock]

Am I the only one that thinks the nvo was better in the beta?

[versed moon]

it was

[brisk dock]

It was the most used AR and they nerf tf outta it

[versed moon]

It was a bit busted

[gleaming totem]

I think so too, but don't forget that the NVO had barely competition in the beta

[versed moon]

I really only saw the m4a1 in beta

[devout horizon]

isnt the nvo still one of the better ar's right now

[versed moon]

its decent

painfull at range. Very bloomy and massive dropoff

[devout horizon]

the m4a1 shouldnt be a 25 damage gun

[gleaming totem]

I really don't like it's performance at range, and the dmg dropoff

[brisk dock]

True. I remember the squads I ran with in the beta, we would pray to get another map besides liberation Peak. Rotation in the beta was bad 😭

[cursive temple]

They nerfed this game way too much

[gleaming totem]

the moment I saw an actual graph of the ARs with dmg over range, I dropped the NVO and picked up the AK4D

[brisk dock]

Just for the sake of “balance”

[gleaming totem]

For CQB i have other loadouts

[brisk dock]

SGX is one of my favorite subs for CQB

[valid roost]

BF4 had maps like lumphini gardens, altai range, Dawnbreaker, rogue transmission, Guilin peaks, and giants of karelia. Those plus more were pretty bad maps IMO

[brisk dock]

That an a shotgun xD

[cursive temple]

#game-news message today's change one sentence really annoys me guess which one

[brisk dock]

I don’t think I even played those. I just loaded into servers with the fan favorite maps

[gleaming totem]

My assault runs KV9 with a DMR on the side 🤓

Probably never gonna be meta, but it's fun

and the 3rd assault loadout is currently M16 recency bias

[brisk dock]

“Help balance win rates” nah the teams just be straight buns

[steel zephyr]

bring equity and inclusion to battlefield 6

[valid roost]

Pax side had a crazy advantage on the old escalation layout, they arent wrong tho

[devout horizon]

out of all those BF4 maps, maybe Dawnbreaker i didnt enjoy as much, the rest were fine in their own way

[brisk dock]

Ngl I thought the full automatic M16 would give me some edge. But that damage reduction is so bad

[cursive temple]

Yup what's wrong with the strongest team wins?

[brisk dock]

Smh

[modest jackal]

It's onesided.

[valid roost]

the map massively favored Pax before?

[maiden sonnet]

I am drinking a couple monsters and going sweat lord this morning

[cursive temple]

Bro stop acting like a 12 year old

[gleaming totem]

Honestly, I would not upgrade the M16 to full auto anyways. There are already enough full auto options, and 15 point for that hurts

[devout horizon]

Giants of Karelia could be a bit odd but if you picked something like either tank or infantry and fought in certain areas it was fine, thats exactly how Golmud works

[modest jackal]

*25

[devout horizon]

the damage profile changes?

[cursive temple]

Could be

[brisk dock]

Not to me it didn’t. You just have to actually flank and ya know… TAKE OUT THE TANKS. But my teams don’t always do that for some reason.

[modest jackal]

No, just the Fire Mode.

RoF and Damage are identical.

[brisk dock]

To a degree yes. The TTK for the gun takes loner with full auto.

[devout horizon]

whats the full auto rof

[maiden sonnet]

Well, good luck gamers see ya on the Battlefield!

[modest jackal]

771 RPM.

[brisk dock]

Yea I might revert back. I have a pretty good trigger finger.

[devout horizon]

isnt it 770 in burst

[modest jackal]

Yes.

[gleaming totem]

If only 1 team has to do it, or always fails at this, there may be a map balance issue tho

[devout horizon]

so what changes if its 770 burst and 770 full auto?

[modest jackal]

Faster TTK.

[devout horizon]

what

[timber wind]

Just to add to Pax side supremacy, on conquest, Pax mountain on operation firestorm also has an insane advantage of being able to paint vehicles across the map into NATO HQ. Sadly, it cant be done on NATO side mountain.

[valid roost]

The pax side was insanely difficult to capture and hold. Pax was always basically guaranteed the first point on Escalation. Which allows pax side to maintain central capture zones into points 2 and 3.

[brisk dock]

I can see point F being a problem

[modest jackal]

I.e No Burst Delay = Faster TTK.

[devout horizon]

ok so its faster ttk in full auto

it didnt feel like it had much burst delay when i used it

blocked

[modest jackal]

Yeah, well. It's only a 34ms Delay.

[gleaming totem]

The problem I see on the map that A and B side is always spawnbeacon heaven with 900 houses to hide it inside (also true for conquest), and C being terrible to defend / spawn, because they can be attacked from so many directions at once with barely any cover

[devout horizon]

so why did that person say the full auto mode was bad bc of damage reduction

[modest jackal]

Because he just doesn't know Stats well. But fr, I'm clueless on what he implied.

[brisk dock]

Basically, the map should’ve been bigger

[steel zephyr]

bigger is the american way

[brisk dock]

I was actually surprised how small the map is at launch

[brisk dock]

[gleaming totem]

It's the usual issue.

I don't think the map is truly small, but that the action is always concentrated in the same area

[brisk dock]

I agree. I would’ve probably let the golf course be more explorable, maybe add some buildings and put one of the points over there instead.

[versed moon]

thank you

[gleaming totem]

same with gormud, what use does this huge map have, when as an infantry the most efficient thing I can do is trying to secure the D-E-F triangle

[steel zephyr]

i’m everyone could put their pronouns by their names too

[brisk dock]

I’m gonna go back to sleep have a good morning everyone

[versed moon]

Flag patches and decals so i can flex my rainbow

im pretty sure equity isnt the same as equality

[timber wind]

change "infantry" to "assault class" cuz gulmod is def a engi, support, recon map that prios vehicle/squad gameplay. So assault feels useless if your squad can hold a tank down

[valid roost]

The problem with it was that Pax side had HQ protection of their first 2 sectors, while NATO didnt. (You had to run past Pax HQ to capture F/G or defend either as NATO)

NATO HQ was also a lot further from A and B (Due to the routes/map cover), which was not the case for Pax on F and G.

and finally the biggest issue was the position of the final 3 sectors. All 3 could be spammed from the surrounding hills, which made them next to impossible to neutralize as an attacking team.

Moving Hato HQ, B sector and C sector should make it play a lot better. Tho I do which they had also moved, or redesigned the D sector

I do think that Escalations first point could be a bit slower.

[steel zephyr]

#BringBattlefieldBack this is the #BBB movement. We will #BBB for equity and inclusion metrics. Go #BBB and go battlefield!!!! #BBB ‘26

[timber wind]

talking about the Eastwood changes? If so, to add again to something you typed, funny enough the same issue with the capture sectors seen on Eastwood prior to the changes can be seen on Oilfields and Containment. Dont know if it's Pax or NATO HQ but similar issue of "HQs being directly next to capture points".

At least on conquest, idk about escalation.

so hopefully they change those two maps like they did eastwood 🙂

[valid roost]

My biggest issue with contaminated is how crappy gameplay on the D sector is.

[timber wind]

ngl, I dodge Oilfields and Contaminated like the plague

[versed moon]

whichever one the bunker one is on breakthrough. The b flag sucks

[valid roost]

Is escalation even available on Blackwell Fields?

[versed moon]

Hagendas

[valid roost]

I never play Blackwell fields outside of BT

[timber wind]

no idea, sadly im contained (pun intended) to playing conquest cuz it's the only hardcore gamemode in portal that's active at all times. There is ONE hardcore breakthrough server but it's always full and the que takes forever

[gleaming totem]

Issue is that if you stick to DEF you have 3 objectives in infantry movement range, meanwhile the remaining 4 objectives (especially A and G) are wherever.

Well, the train at C can be somewhat close to D, but the DEF triangle is just too efficent

[steel zephyr]

is your name inspired by a dinosaur

a karovorak sounds like a dinosaur

[gleaming totem]

My name is inspired by palindromes and "Name already taken"

Crazy how many Karov's there seem to be everywhere

[timber wind]

lol im just poking fun at the assualt class and how it's acctually useless on that map if u focus on vehicle gameplay as it feels like they intedned it that way with all the vehicles they put on the map. Again, fomr a conquest prespective

also, i just woke up, sorry for all the typos XD

[quaint yarrow]

@gaunt arch Hi, are you aware of the issue with Golmud optimization on a wide range of PCs and consoles? There are posts about it on Reddit, the EA forum, and Steam. Thanks in advance for your response.

[fast reef]

is it just me or since the contaiminated patch tanks feel like they are made from paper now

[fallen fox]

what is it with the carry handle grip only happens when you slap the acog on top with the m16

[valid roost]

Define: Made of paper

[modest jackal]

Not in S3.

[grave stump]

Lol

[gleaming totem]

I have to say that S3 made me play around with the javelin again.

That's now quite a punch from a silly distance

[fast reef]

feel like getting flanked from 2 rpg engis is basically like taking on an mbt, thats smaller and more nimble

[grave stump]

Ragebait

Tanks are close to immortal right now

[modest jackal]

I see you're part of TBB now.

Congrats.

[grave stump]

Since few days

[modest jackal]

Ah.

[dusky pond]

Is that a clan

[grave stump]

The only way u can die in MBT right now is if u either get rushed by better mbt player or if you yolo on point

[fast reef]

feels worse in s3 to be honest

[grave stump]

Since on breakthru defenders usually dont have any good vehicles

U can just sit back and pound them for whole game without any problem

[valid roost]

Have you played the game? Like really. Cos unless you are not good with situational awareness, the tanks are insanely strong now

[fast reef]

ah k, i mainly play esc that may make a difference

[dusky pond]

Good thing there’s a lot of bad tank players out there

[grave stump]

I stole abrams from attackers on contaminated cuz the guy bailed out

It was instant loss for attackers

[fast reef]

lol rule number 1... never leave the tank, face palm

[dusky pond]

I see lol

[modest jackal]

I'm somewhat of a YOLO'r, but I generally move slowly to the Point. I only go YOLO with an Armoured Truck.

Or a Jeep.

[valid roost]

You can legit use thermal smoke and just tank so much damage in an MBT its insane (Takes 9 rockets to kill you)

[grave stump]

And 10s behind a rock and u are full hp

[fast reef]

in mbt im getting destroyed with 2 rockets from the rear, 3 from the front...

[dusky pond]

I don’t think tanks aren’t as powerful as the ones in bf4

[grave stump]

Quit ragebaiting bro

[valid roost]

thermal smoke stops all critical hits. so now I know 100% youre not playing much haha

[grave stump]

Dunno what game u playing but it aint bf6

[heady gale]

M121 A2 at level 50, three guns remain

[fast reef]

ah k ill try the smoke, i usually use the green shield

[modest jackal]

Those are?

[heady gale]

M417
RPK-74M
M16

[valid roost]

Thermal smoke reduces all projectile damage to 75% damage, destroys C4 and damages infantry inside like an incendiary grenade

[heady gale]

Three guns that shouldn’t be too bad

[fast reef]

really, thats huge ok thanks for the tip

[valid roost]

You also need to learn to disengage from fights when you can. the time to armor regen starting, and armor regen speed once disengaged from combat is VERY fast now.

[tender cradle]

#game-news message finally, some map balancing. PAX always had the advantage on this map

[fast reef]

yeah i love the regen, i was doing well with tank before but now i am getting wrecked, hence the question if they were changed drastically

[valid roost]

MBTs also just have more HP (1200) so you cant even be 2 shot by any projectile anymore. Its 3 for an RPG and 3 for the AT4

[dusky pond]

I was worry that with the destroying c4 I thought it players would start popping them as they soon they see themselves getting c4 but I don’t really see that happening as much tbh

[gleaming totem]

All this hidden information I never knew

[valid roost]

Its in the patch notes

[dusky pond]

Yeah lol

Nobody reads the patch notes

[gleaming totem]

I read most of it tbh, but seems like I skipped smoke stuff

[dusky pond]

I wonder whats the percentage of players don’t read the patch notes

[valid roost]

the fact that there are no longer any armor HP ticks is also a massive buff to them. Especially with how fast regen start, and regen speed is now.

[grave stump]

The burn damage is quite big too. Stay for longer than 2-3s in smoke and u die

Cuz it lingers for few seconds after u exit smoke

[valid roost]

Its the same DPS as an incendiary nade

[dusky pond]

U know I think it would be easier if they put it in game or like a bulletin in game of all the new changes

For the patch notes

[valid roost]

Readable patch notes somewhere in game would be nice.

[gleaming totem]

Honestly, the smoke suddenly disabling C4 and reducing hits from the back is also so crazy unintuitive

[valid roost]

But yeah, if you play tanks and like to be offensive, try out the thermal smoke.

[gleaming totem]

like, who the hell would even expect this

[valid roost]

APS is still OK, but its better of you dont liek to push objectives

[dusky pond]

People not reading the patch notes

[fast reef]

yeah i didnt expect the smoke to reduce damage, thats not what i would expect, i was thinking it was just to derail the first lock on... looks like im switching over today thats wild

[dusky pond]

I still wish it was insta

[valid roost]

Same, its annoying that APS has a delay

[gleaming totem]

I was just too focused on the anti tank tool changes, like all the mine changes

It feels crazy, lol.

I remember reading the changes about the plating gone and counter fire radar above.

I remember reading about the IVF not having the free laser designator anymore below.

But I truly skipped the thermal smoke

[dusky pond]

Yeah it’s important to read every single detail

[fast reef]

hang on ivf doesnt have a laser now?

[stoic iris]

What happened to all out warfare?

[gleaming totem]

Not for free, gonna have to sacrifice gunner tool slot thing

[grave stump]

Ifv is fairly awful now

The both shells got nerfed

[gleaming totem]

I don't think so, it truly zooms around and... well, fights infantry

[grave stump]

Apds is unusable

[fast reef]

what, i should re check my layouts, i havent touched them in a hot minute

[grave stump]

Yeah but previously u could be anti vehicle and anti infantry if u had skill

Now u cannot

[modest jackal]

I guess it now relies on Light Rockets against Vehicles.

[dusky pond]

Light rockets are really good against vehicles if u hit them behind

[upper nymph]

[dusky pond]

Plus I only use light rockets when my main gun is reloading between shots

[valid roost]

IFV shouldnt have been as good against MBTs as it was before IMO.

[grave stump]

It should have fighting chance

Now u can have APDS+light rockets and lose in standoff to MBT with HE

[valid roost]

Yeah it you out maneuver, or get behind a tank maybe. and if youre running the TOW. but IFVs could win head to head fights before.

[grave stump]

Tow is dogshit now on everything but golmud tbh

[fast reef]

well it does, I mean going head to head is not the best option but they are faster, I like both really... but the tow missile is gonna take me awhile to adjust again... oof

[grave stump]

Reload is too long

Light rockets also have full infinite ammo

[fast reef]

i had that thing dailed in so well

[dusky pond]

I only use tows on big maps only

[grave stump]

Tow restocks only to 2 shells

In 1vs1 if u have tow up close and enemy ifv has light rockets u are dead

[dusky pond]

I wish you could angle with the light rockets more higher

[versed moon]

you joined the Tuberculosis boys

[fast reef]

actually that i would disagree with, but the tow missile... eh give us a compromise from before to now

[grave stump]

Revert apds nerf

[grave stump]

Ye

Apds nerf was uncalled for

[versed moon]

what is apds again

[grave stump]

The armor piercing belt on IFV

[versed moon]

oh

they got nerfed? Lul

[grave stump]

Insanely nerfed

[valid roost]

IFV and MBT TOWs/Guided shells are fine as they are IMO. At least projectile speed/maneuverability wise

[versed moon]

What is the go to ammo on the ifv now

[grave stump]

Decreased the APDS Rounds magazine capacity from 12 to 10.
Decreased the APDS Rounds rate of fire from 200 to 120 RPM.

Basically cut the dps in half

[grave stump]

He

[fast reef]

the tow still hits the same right, like it doesnt blow up after a certain distance? I had 4 tows blow up mid air near the little bird but come to think about it, that could be a recon on board with that rocket jammer

[dusky pond]

I never used cus I always thought it was bad lol

[grave stump]

It was a skill ammo. It one taps infantry up close but needs direct hit. But it was absolutely shredding enemy vehicles like ifv

So if u had aim u could use it reliably against both targets
