[spiral gulch]

haha no! one copy of bf4

[solid hinge]

oh, 2m with digital sales?

that's really bad

[sleek tartan]

It is..

I had no clue it was this bad

[amber notch]

Oh well

its a good game

those people are suffering

not my fault

[solid hinge]

it's still an estimation but yeah this is pretty bad for a mainline bf game

[amber notch]

🤷

ive always said its a good game, got a few of my friends to purchase it, they love it so much

[solid hinge]

maybe it'll pick up the pace with BR and sales around march

[sleek tartan]

I do think it's a generally good game, but the marketing sucked ass

[amber notch]

just had a bad advertisement seeming as everyone bashed it because of a soldier with a prosthetic arm

[sleek tartan]

And it wasn't really ready to be released

[brisk field]

Who knew just putting a woman with a prosthetic arm in your trailer can fuck up sales

[sleek tartan]

I mean, by current standards sure

But not in reality

[spiral gulch]

They deserve those figures though. After the horrible trailer and trying to force PC into the game, and then when it releases its a buggy pile of shit. Reflects the quality of the product. BFV has potential, but I have a feeling EA will scrap funds to the live service because no one has it

[solid hinge]

what? battlefield games have always been on PC aside from bad company 1

[brisk field]

Yeah I'm really worried about the live service

[midnight nimbus]

I really hope DICE learns how stupid it is to cram this many animations and this much physicality into a PVP game

[sleek tartan]

Live service is not viable at this point

[spiral gulch]

Political correctness = PC

[sleek tartan]

I doubt the game even covered costs

[midnight nimbus]

apparently animations and UI alone took a lot

and designing the game around the art that was created first

[sleek tartan]

Where do you get that from

[brisk field]

They fucked up the war stories too

They try to tell stories of individuals but then end up making themselves look dumb

"not everything written is true, not everything true is written" suck my ass

[spiral gulch]

I'm sure I remember Nazis in WW2

and that short guy with a tash

[brisk field]

Since when the fuck did a young girl beat an army and stopped a supply line of German heavy water

[midnight nimbus]

@sleek tartan plenty of guys to talk to

[green elm]

would bf4 be a good buy for $7 now

[midnight nimbus]

apparently it's not easy to just add in BF1 optic customization bc of how messy the UI is

[solid hinge]

didn't bf1 have that italian guy defeat an army of austrians alone

[midnight nimbus]

not even bc having different zooms in game would be harder

[spiral gulch]

Its sad because my great grandfather never made it back from WW2 😦 Hes still stuck in an infinite loading screen

[sleek tartan]

War stories are only loosely based on real events

[midnight nimbus]

UI/UX is the biggest debacle no one talks about

[sleek tartan]

The heavy water plant was not in any means taken down by a mother and daughter lol

[brisk field]

Exactly

[sleek tartan]

It was taken down by a special force

And many people died

Tbh I hate the woman controversy, but that mission felt like an insult

The other ones I don't know the story of

The panzer one was more acceptable imho

[brisk field]

Tiralleur is so far the most accurate

[sleek tartan]

Still too much pc on it too

For me

[brisk field]

It's bullshit

[solid hinge]

i thought people liked the nazi guy mission

[brisk field]

Haven't played it yet tho

[spiral gulch]

I wouldn't care less if we were playing as aliens, but don't try to sell that as authentic experience

[brisk field]

I wanted to play bfv cuz I wanted a ww2 game other than cod but now I think I'd be better satisfied if I bought 4

[solid hinge]

4 is modern day

[brisk field]

Yeah I know

[solid hinge]

should buy bf1, that game is not a real ww1 shooter, just a ww2 game in ww1 skin

[brisk field]

Bfv made me not like ww2

[spiral gulch]

So are there actually real dice devs on this discord? I mean surely they can't be happy with the product they were forced to rush out? It makes them look really bad and bf6 slaes will be horrible now

[brisk field]

Bf1 has dlc tho

[solid hinge]

EA is nice enough to release the dlcs for free for all bf games every now and then

keep an eye for that

i think they even made premium free a while ago but you had a certain timeframe to redeem it

[brisk field]

I'm just really pissed about how bfv had shit marketing and this game could have gone a better status with a different trailer

The gameplay is good I guess

[spiral gulch]

The live service is supposed to replace the premium model. But I can't see them putting much effort into that now. I'll be surprised if EA don't blame Dice for the poor performance and pull the plug.

[brisk field]

We've gotten 3 new guns within the 1st month

[solid hinge]

the game would've never got the same maps as bf1/bf3/bf4 did with premium even if it sold bazillions

free DLC maps = less maps

[spiral gulch]

Reskins from bf1?

[solid hinge]

doesn't help that there's a rumored battlefield game next year so i can't see bfv living for long tbh

[spiral gulch]

with the 2 xmas guns being a sorry for you dealing with our broken game?

[brisk field]

Lmao I guess

[spiral gulch]

if theres a bf released next year. Theres no way i'm getting it

[brisk field]

There's no way a new be will release just next year

Probably in the next 2 years well get one and hopefully a better bf

2143 probably lmao

[solid hinge]

FYI BFH was going to come out a year after BF4 but was delayed a few more months to come out on 2015

[spiral gulch]

Bad company 3

[solid hinge]

it could still happen

[spiral gulch]

they need to get off this Battlefront model/engine and go back

[brisk field]

I really suck at sniping

[spiral gulch]

I'm fine if the guy stands still

[green elm]

uh, some dude called “death” just dm’d me asking me to buy him bfv

wat

[spiral gulch]

welcome to the club lol

[brisk field]

That's how I usually get kills when a guy's stands still for more than 2 seconds

[spiral gulch]

I told him to ask santa

[brisk field]

As recon

[green elm]

i just told him i’m broke lmao

[spiral gulch]

atleast hes not just prying on a specific gender lol

[brisk field]

Is that vector wearing a Santa hat

[green elm]

sometimes i find it easier to hit moving targets than stationary ones

[solid hinge]

i set DMs to friends only, this way i don't get weirdos or warnings from mods

[green elm]

yes

yes it is

[brisk field]

Liy

Lit

Anyone got any recommended sensitivity settings for sniping

[spiral gulch]

Hey @green elm how do you feel about all the forced women stuff in BFV?

[brisk field]

Aw fuck gotta walk my dog

[spiral gulch]

I miss walking my dog

[green elm]

i mean, i play as a girl in a lot of games but it feels really off in bf

almost like it’s an attempt to appeal to a specific audience

[unique thunder]

that's exactly what it is

[solid hinge]

i could be wrong but i think that they were trying to appeal to women who play video games

[unique thunder]

every so often a person or company has to go a bit too far and suffer the backlash, it's just like comedians testing the limits of comedy

[solid hinge]

i just hope people don't complain about women if it's a modern day game

the next bf

[brisk field]

How tf do you get better aim at this game

[amber notch]

practice

makes perfect

Been playing fps games for years, so thats also probably a factor

[green elm]

take random potshots and pray

that’s kind of how i levelled my scout back in bf1

[brisk field]

what's potshotting

[green elm]

get behind cover, peek out, take a quick shot, go back in cover

[brisk field]

I see

[green elm]

tbh for sniping i think you just have to get good at positioning first of all

eventually you just kind of start seeing easy targets

[solid hinge]

I think folks should be more worried about the anachronistic fact that they've likely personally piloted more Tiger tanks then were ever actually built by the Nazi's, then whether someone is female or not in the game

sniping is about postionen but its also covers alot more, its has to do alot with, how type of monitor you have, mouse, mousemat, and how fast your response time is, but I can explain alot more about that in @split scarab privat pm, if he ever want to reply back to me that is

oh he did nvm

[brisk field]

I think it's pretty unlucky to get Hamada 2 times in a row

[viscid cypress]

God top gunners are such a joke

"You can duck now! Of course you'll still die to the first rocket, but you can duck now!"

[brisk field]

Infinite loading screens need to be fixed I have to fire close the game when I get one smh

[frank vortex]

Haven't had any issues with loading screens, but the search function is still borked, several games later.

All it's showing is Grand Operations.

[viscid cypress]

There is no reason to use search

[frank vortex]

🤔

[viscid cypress]

You aren't going to find servers, the game creates servers on demand.

[frank vortex]

🤔

[viscid cypress]

Are you sure you're old enough to be playing this game?

[frank vortex]

Don't be a cunt.

Or an idiot, for that matter.

There's every reason to use the search function. Nor does it excuse the fact that it doesn't work.

[viscid cypress]

There isn't

Also I find it hilarious that you can call me that, but if I call you the same, it gets deleted instantly.

[frank vortex]

I'm not actually sure why that is.

[viscid cypress]

Server bias I'm sure

Favoring children

DICE's new marketing strategy

[frank vortex]

lol

[solid hinge]

atleast its not ubi

[viscid cypress]

You're right, it's worse

[solid hinge]

for real?

[viscid cypress]

Ubi actually fixes their games for one thing.

[solid hinge]

ehhhhhhhh

siege has been broke since day 1

[frank vortex]

DICE/EA seem to have taken a page out of Acti-Bliz's advertising.

Siege is a functional game.

[rustic basin]

Im always using the search function to find games for specific maps or situations

[solid hinge]

On ps4 its been broke, but pc is better cuz im fairly certain pro league plays on it

[rustic basin]

and i use it on ps4 😄

[solid hinge]

i did too for a while, i am 116

[viscid cypress]

Of course pros play on PC, people want to watch the best players, not children.

[solid hinge]

yea so they are gonna focus on PC and leave the consoles in the dust

[frank vortex]

It's more that the PS4 suffers from the same issues as the PS3.

It's an awful console to design games for. At least the former isn't as loaded down with scrapcode as the latter was.

[solid hinge]

agreed its gotta a bunch of basic problems that have never been fixed

[rustic basin]

Fundamentally it is architecturally different to the PS3 though and the ps4 is similar to a PC and XBox now PS3 was using Cell processor

that made it super hard to port to and from as i recall

[frank vortex]

@calm sorrel No, I'm not buying you BFV on PC. Go rob a bank or something.

[viscid cypress]

He asked me as well

[frank vortex]

Someone's thirsty for a lackluster game.

[rustic basin]

@calm sorrel join the BFV facebook group dude they are like giving away copies over Christmas ........

also if your are twitter the Developers have been throwing copies out over the last few days 😄

[solid hinge]

honestly the only things i really want to be fixed in bf5 is the company credits and the ammo/medic boxes falling into the ground then ill be happy lol

I had gotten a free trial a little bit ago for origin access that was neat

[frank vortex]

Bipods.

Having seen the video on Reddit.

[solid hinge]

they are gonna fix em its in the announcements

oh my bad

[frank vortex]

It'll open up some new possibilities, particularly on Rotterdam and Devastation.

[solid hinge]

for sure, i did save a video of the bipod on my mg42 messing up and costing me a couple kills twice

[viscid cypress]

I'll believe it when I see it

[solid hinge]

my vid?

[viscid cypress]

The bipod fix

[solid hinge]

oh ok my bad

[rustic basin]

the video of the fix looked good 😄

[snow crater]

is the game on sale/ will be on sale

asking for a friend

for the holidays

[rustic basin]

the game is on sale in the Playstation PS4 January sale right now

[viscid cypress]

Yeah, I don't care what DICE says or shows, I care about it actually being in the game.

[snow crater]

on PC

[rustic basin]

other platforms no idea 😄

[severe bramble]

Can dice actually do something about grand op, the shittiest game mode rn

So unbalanced

Players straight up leave cause attackers just get spawn camped

[viscid cypress]

You mean you don't like dying before you touch the ground?

[granite rune]

sounds like twistedsteel airborne to me

[severe bramble]

The narvik one

Land sniped land sniped

[granite rune]

ah

narvik is bad too

i find twisted steel to be the worst but that me

[viscid cypress]

I like Narvik the map

I hate how it runs

[granite rune]

nah we just talking Grand op on that map

narvik can be fun on other gamemodes

[severe bramble]

Good ol conquest

[viscid cypress]

Right, but it runs like shit

[severe bramble]

But grand ops no thanks

[granite rune]

you could always go patato mode

[viscid cypress]

I shouldn't have to lower my settings for one map

[granite rune]

true

[solid hinge]

the gun i get from tides of war

is it the only way to get it?

[viscid cypress]

Every other map runs 80 FPS while I'm also watching YouTube, Narvik runs at 50 with nothing else.

[granite rune]

oof

wrong ping

[frozen sparrow]

[wary mason]

what

[desert dune]

[tardy basin]

[granite rune]

im sorry xD i meant someone else XD

[solid hinge]

the gun i get from tides of war
is it the only way to get it?

[tardy basin]

[granite rune]

haha

[wary mason]

accidents happen

carry on

❤

[fathom pebble]

[full nimbus]

Yes

[viscid cypress]

No, you can buy the gun after the week is over for CC

[granite rune]

it will not happen again i wanted to ping @solid hinge

[solid hinge]

oh thanks!

ahah

oh shit

im involved

[granite rune]

but yes

[solid hinge]

better run quick

[full nimbus]

lol xD

Back to my Shitposting Corner (thats Modchat)

[granite rune]

you can only right now atleast earn it trough the tides of war

[solid hinge]

epic games!

thanks

fellow gamer

[granite rune]

the routes you take doesn't matter but yea so far only trough that

and np

[solid hinge]

didnt know it changed

but i somehow did everything

except the tank

beware im coming for you

[granite rune]

oof

as long as you don't put 2 m1a1 carbine bullets to my head i don't care how you kill me

[solid hinge]

isnt the m1a1 crine low key suppirior to alot of other guns in the game?

it surely feels like it

[granite rune]

its usually the m16a3 or whatever version of it u get

the m4a1 is cod starter

[solid hinge]

yeah my bad

too tired

should probbly stop

:)

[granite rune]

why sleep if you can keep playing?

[viscid cypress]

I probably won't even complete this Tides, since I'm not willing to play Conquest

[torpid wing]

Hey mates how many fps do you think I will get with an I3 7100 and and gtx1050ti?

Can I run it?

[granite rune]

you can run it but, idk how much fps @torpid wing

[viscid cypress]

I meant more like most of these would only work on conquest

I only play Frontlines and sometimes Breakthrough.

[granite rune]

you can always run it patato mode if it doesn't work out tho

[torpid wing]

Potato mode?

[granite rune]

ye

[torpid wing]

I remember that in the beta it runned fine but then later became quite laggy as time passed

Battlefield 1 runs good at auto settings/med

I usually have 45-60 fps

[granite rune]

maybe try to look for guides?

[torpid wing]

Oh and you do think I should buy standart or deluxe?

[granite rune]

buy standard

the deluxe only gives 2 weapon skin sets

which is just useless

[torpid wing]

what about those missions

what are those

[granite rune]

not worth it either, just some extra assignments

but they only give 400 cc anyway

[torpid wing]

Ok, thanks mate!

[granite rune]

you can now earn more by just playing

np

the only reason i bought deluxe was for the 5 day earlyacess

[solid hinge]

FR dispo PC

um whats the best mode and map to take down tanks :D

[icy sluice]

Panzerstorm

However, if you're gonna go for the AT-Mine one, I suggest Arras, Rotterdam or Narvik

Reason why I suggest it because it's easier to stealth kill a tank in those levels with AT-Mines

It looks like Battlefield Currency is coming on the 18th of January, I assume they're going to be dropping a lot of cosmetics on that day

[rustic basin]

kinda agree, you can do it on panzerstorm if you just load up the Ammo/heal stations for the tanks 😄

[icy sluice]

I suggest using the field guns for tank kills

Panzerstorm has a fuckton that you can tow

And some that you can fix up

[amber notch]

cant wait for those cosmetics

if they add long hair

im sold

[icy sluice]

Surfer Dude WWII

[amber notch]

ill kiss peter

sick of this british only gas mask

its the only ones that look somewhat decent

[icy sluice]

There should be a Retribution like headgear for the brits

[solid hinge]

deluxe version is godawful

not worth an extra dollar

[icy sluice]

I did get the Sanitater helmet

Yeah the Selby is now my favorite mid-ranger

[solid hinge]

I want that gun

[amber notch]

Oh yay

[solid hinge]

😨

[sleek verge]

🅱oins

[icy sluice]

[jovial cargo]

The Boins are back in town.

[amber notch]

[jovial cargo]

Really hope they fix the CC issues before the 18th

[opaque hinge]

Funny that all these boins literally cost more than the game rn

(On sale for $40 atm)

[opaque hinge]

Lol

[shut brook]

my god the ribby is good

[marble phoenix]

what class gets the thompson

[icy sluice]

Medic

[solid hinge]

when did you play Battlefield 5 the last time?

[icy sluice]

Last night

[opaque hinge]

was it full of regret

[amber notch]

Played it 3 hours ago

Then played the forest and shit myself

[opaque hinge]

nice

[solid hinge]

I think the last time I played it was at the end of November

I have not touched the game ever since

is nvidia inspector counted as cheating?

it's just changing your gpu settings

[tribal ledge]

"Nvidia inspectior" Never heard of such a thing

[opaque hinge]

u mean geforce experience?

i know geforce experience is okay...

[tribal ledge]

Is it an official nVidia produc?

[marble phoenix]

played this morning

[glossy locust]

narvic sucks. That is all

[opaque hinge]

oof

i like narvik

hamada is trash tho

[glossy locust]

even devastation has grown on me but i've never had a fun round on narvic

[icy sluice]

I like all maps

[glossy locust]

well or fjell either

[marble phoenix]

cant front

i quit hamada often

[solid hinge]

nvidia profile inspector

[marble phoenix]

least fav

[tribal ledge]

I feel that Hamada has too many open spaces

[solid hinge]

I like all maps
same

you can make game look like fortnite

[marble phoenix]

I think they said hamada is one of the biggest levels theyve made

[solid hinge]

you can make any game look like fornite

eh i think there were bigger in bf1/bf4

the community map in bf4 is honestly the biggest i've ever played in bf

the program changes hidden nvidia settings

you can increase your fps and visibility of enemies 10x

[echo sand]

@solid hinge That's cheating

[solid hinge]

not technically

you're just changing your gpu settings

morally yes

[echo sand]

I've seen the videos... it's akin to cheating and I hope it gets fixed soon

[solid hinge]

i mean, if someone wants to do that, have at it i guess, i'd rather be at a disadvantage and have the game look somewhat decent

[echo sand]

You can see people in grass, it's not right

[solid hinge]

you can see them already with low settings

[echo sand]

Not like this... there might was well be no grass at all

I use low settings, and the grass can still hide players

[solid hinge]

close range yes

[echo sand]

With NI, they're visible across the map through the non-existent grass

You're not going to win with me... I've seen what using NI does 😉

You know it isn't right deep down

[solid hinge]

what

[echo sand]

If someone has to use that to win, whatever I guess, but I say it's cheating

[solid hinge]

are you at spook

morals? haha

[echo sand]

Yes actually, fairness is a good thing in games

[azure vault]

the selbstlader 1906 is fucking amazing

i hate playing recon but that gun might change my mind

[solid hinge]

oh god

[final halo]

Xbox?

[solid hinge]

Randies

[final halo]

Ew.

[icy sluice]

@candid owl The gunplay is the best in the series

Guns actually control the way they should

[candid owl]

the voice channel XD

[opaque hinge]

hamada biggest cause it's 50% just open fucking space

like literal desert

not an achievement

[icy sluice]

I do enjoy it

[sleek tartan]

Hamada's biggest problem is being a cq assault map

imho

it could play so much more nice if you didnt start on that area stuck but instead on the middle of the map like most cq matches do

[solid hinge]

frequently on ps4 im starting to notice sandbags and stuff don't load in

and i can see people behind them

then i aim to get a shot and suddenly they're there

it's like 150 metres or so stuff starts not being rendered

I feel like... bad because I know where these people are hiding

Get a PC

Sand bags load fine 😄

I dislike fps on pc

People turn too fast

lol

Or do you turn too slow?

Humans can't turn that quick!

You'd be surprised!

If someone does a 180 in less than half a second they're gonna be super disoriented

Not shoot at me with no loss in accuracy

We can be quite quick 😄

I'm pretty sure there's a lot of shooting tournaments that have obstacle courses dealing with exactly those scenarios 😄

I'd assume they cover turning around to shoot in police academies? 😄

Ok we can be pretty quick that's true but the dude holding an MG-42 isn't gonna turn that fast

He just aint

depends, it's such a large gun, depending on the weight distribution as you're turning, it could increase your turn speed due to the weighted leverage. Plus there's no ADS on the MG 42 so you're just getting spray and prayed if they turn when standing!

😄 😄 #physics

[azure vault]

top three maps - panzerstorm, hamada, rotterdam

in that order

fjell might be tied for 3rd, depends on what game im playing on it

[marble phoenix]

Rotterdamn, Twisted Steel & Aerodrome my favs

Devastation and Fjell round out a top 5 for me

[hoary totem]

what ping

😉

[charred heron]

[wary mason]

i mean it doesn't delete

and we can check logs on what message was deleted

but someone already contacted modmail about it so

[solid hinge]

wait why S1906 has only 5 bullets

not 8?

to nerf

hamada reminds me of bf4's silk road

[marble phoenix]

silk road wow, i aint heard that in years

i was rigging my dirt bike with c4 back then lol

[rose pilot]

Silk Road to me is like Hamada and Aerodrome's baby

[marble phoenix]

i need a night map

[opaque cipher]

Hamada night

Where firing is like micro spotting

[dense bone]

hamada is just too spread out

its not bad, now that i play assault i dont mind it

but as suomi medic i despised that map

[icy sluice]

Planes are so... boring bro

[marble phoenix]

i like choppers better

not sure when they were introduced to the armed forces though

as far as an attack copter

and is hamada the only map where the losing team of the previous match is given all objectives at the beginning of a match?

[opaque cipher]

@icy sluice bombers are

[icy sluice]

No, all planes are

[opaque cipher]

[icy sluice]

I focus on air to ground and it just doesn't work

Stuka B-1 does like no damage

The Spitfires can't drop bombs until level 3

[opaque cipher]

Try something that says “autocannon”

You know

BF109

Mosquito

[icy sluice]

I've seen videos of people trying that

[opaque cipher]

Spitfire VB

[icy sluice]

Usually getting 20 damage for unloading on one guy

[opaque cipher]

Those are bad players then

lol

[icy sluice]

You have to overheat your guns to do 100 damage with autocannons

Planes in general, are disconnected from the actual fight

[opaque cipher]

Also rockets work wonders

[icy sluice]

Kills maybe 2 guys in a small cluster

But that's about it

[opaque cipher]

Mosquito itself can kill heavy tanks in two strafes

[icy sluice]

And takes a minute to reload

[dense bone]

anyone else find it annoying that you cant shoot any body part of someone in an AA tank that is facing you?

[opaque cipher]

Well it’s a tank

[dense bone]

not that one

the stationary ones

[opaque cipher]

Oh

[dense bone]

like the one on narvik at A

[opaque cipher]

I’ve been sniped out of those a lot

[dense bone]

from front?

[opaque cipher]

Yes

[marble phoenix]

those the swivel turrets?

[dense bone]

face one i couldnt see anything to shoot but their foot

[icy sluice]

I've sniped numerous guys on AA

Hell, I've sniped someone who was on an AA gun on one of the towers of Narvik.

The ones you can build.

Also, how does a uhh... a person build an AA gun up there?

[worn cave]

I think it would be cool to have a map or two that are reversed from typical weather
90% of the time a sinister thunderstorm, 10% of the time it clears with sun and rainbows

a real shitshow clusterfuck map

with crazy atmosphere

[marble phoenix]

fjell snowstorm is cool

i think rotterdamn has a joint too

but yea they are frequent

[worn cave]

I'd love to see something similar to Nivelle nights but just raining most of the time with sporadic lightning that reveals everybody's silhouettes against the sky etc

[marble phoenix]

i cant tell if something triggers the weather change or if its just random

[icy sluice]

Yell into your microphone

Like, really fucking yell into it

[little fjord]

There's the sandstorm on hamada too

Thunderstorm with hard rain would be cool

[icy sluice]

It rained in Aerodrome for me

iblesstherainsdowninafrika

[opaque cipher]

Bombing raid on Devastation

It’s cool

[icy sluice]

It is

It blew two of my squadmates to bits

[opaque cipher]

Really blows when that happens doesn’t it

[azure vault]

lol

i love it when it happens

adds such an ambience to the round

[little fjord]

I love devastation map as a whole 🤷

[icy sluice]

I was a medic so I revived them

[azure vault]

yeah its so well designed

[icy sluice]

So we basically just got free 400 points

[azure vault]

i was struck at how many game modes it supports really well - made me realize how much thought went into the design

[icy sluice]

Surprisingly, I was able to get three of my daily objectives in TDM Hamada

[little fjord]

The only maps I don't enjoy so much are twisted steel and arras

[delicate panther]

arras sis beast

[trim oyster]

Remember the zombie door ee? You cant do it on ps4 anymore dont know about pc and xbox tho

[waxen stratus]

I'm looking for some aggressive recon advice. I'm planning on running the ZH-29 and spawn beacon, but I'm not sure what to run in my other slots. I've tried flare a bit, but with only one use on spawn, and the small radius, I hardly seem to get anybody spotted unless it's a really close map. I'm also wondering about grenades. I generally just run frags, but I'm wondering if the up close killing power of the knives or the cover of the smoke are more valuable in close. Anybody have experience they can share?

[trim oyster]

Nop

[dense bone]

did he just say he doesnt enjoy twisted steel and arras...

when theres hamada and fjell in this game

[little fjord]

Narvik too..... They aren't aweful.... but there are some pretty unapproachable areas on those maps...

I like hamada... And fjell isn't bad

Just a feeling

[dense bone]

...

[marble phoenix]

fjell is a meat grinder all match

hamada either one side of the bridge is jumping and the other side dead

[dense bone]

fjell just has very prominent camping spots, and i hate camping

[little fjord]

Need at least 1 meat grinder map

[frank vortex]

I like Devastation and Rotterdam.

Panzerstorm is pretty fun, too.

I think Hamada would be more fun if the fortress was more centrally located, rather than at one end of the map.

[dense bone]

i think i like devastation the most, so many ways to fight on that map

but sadly, its good for camping too

[frank vortex]

I mean, that's sort of the point?

It has all those narrow chokepoints for a reason; LMG/MMG camping.

[little fjord]

Only thing I don't like is when the edge of the map and enemy spawn is too close to an objective

Makes one direction totally impossible to flank

Otherwise the maps are really good

[dense bone]

i just dont like camping

its a cheap play style that a lot of people employ

[sleek trail]

So when is the next patch so I know when to give this game another chance

[marble phoenix]

are we calling a patch different than an update?

[frank vortex]

Same difference.

[marble phoenix]

i thought theyve been doing weekly ones?

[sleek trail]

I need to know when they patch visibility and sound. This is so bad to play rn

[icy sluice]

Running and Gunning with a shotgun is satisfying, especially when you take out a sniper with it

[tribal ledge]

Would you guys say this dude is a cheater? https://battlefieldtracker.com/bfv/profile/origin/jamesguck/overview

Played 16 minutes of Medic - ranked #2 in the world

[frank vortex]

@marble phoenix There are frequent hotfixes, and the Tides of War chapter changes weekly, however there hasn't been any major patches since Panzerstorm/The Last Tiger.

[tribal ledge]

played 12 minutes of Recon - ranked #2 in the world

Would you say he's cheating?

[placid quarry]

No, because his rank is 2

[dense bone]

errr.. 3 kpm for support and 2 kpm for medic is pretty fucking high

6 kdr for support too, 80% win

hes either running with a squad, a god, or hes cheating

im CONSTANTLY trying to get kills, and i usually have the most kills in a game, by a lot

and im at a 2 kpm

[tribal ledge]

How do you spectate a game?

@placid quarry What do you mean his rank is 2?

[dense bone]

his medic rank is 2

[tribal ledge]

What is that supposed to mean?

[dense bone]

hes only played 16 minutes of medic

[tribal ledge]

and?

[dense bone]

theres not much to base his performance off of with 16 minutes of gameplay

[tribal ledge]

he had 42 kills and 3 deaths in the TDM game I'm in

and he's rank 20

[dense bone]

right

but you brought up his medic stats

ohh hes playing tdm

yep tdm is all he plays

fishy, but i wouldnt be suspicious unless something happened in game that was questionable

[tribal ledge]

How do I spectate a game?

What to I click?

[dense bone]

idk man

his accuracy and headshot percentages arent anything special

[scenic beacon]

join as spectator? idk, i thought there was an option for it

like view server info?

idk

[tribal ledge]

Fuck

He left

I would have liked to record him

and see.

[jovial forge]

is he on pc?

[dense bone]

yes

[jovial forge]

btw the TRN website is inaccurate

[dense bone]

its not horrible

just not 100% accurate

[graceful wigeon]

@dice plz get raid of hackers

[solid hinge]

You guys playing on pc or ps4

[dense bone]

id say a majority are pc

[graceful wigeon]

every other game i play i happen to come across hacker

im on pc

[jovial forge]

ps4 for me

[twilit pelican]

Nyphon doesnt sleep confirmed

[dense bone]

especially since the "set roles" has 627 for xbox, 3383 for pc, and 858 for ps4

[solid hinge]

i play on PC

but might migrate to ps4

[dense bone]

i sleep

lol

i woke up 2 hours ago

[solid hinge]

especially since the "set roles" has 627 for xbox, 3383 for pc, and 858 for ps4
it could be possible that discord is too complicated for console players, there are a lot of them here who don't have the xbox/ps4 tags

[graceful wigeon]

@dense bone question dice is using battle eye or not?

[solid hinge]

pretty sure dice uses the shitty fairfight

[dense bone]

i dont recall off the top of my head

[tribal ether]

Tbh I wouldn’t mind if we got the Fedorov on the medic class or the mondragon back

[solid hinge]

The dev said fair fight in their amaa I believe.

[frank vortex]

@solid hinge It probably doesn't help the bot breaks every five minutes or so either.

[marble phoenix]

luckliy my username here is the same for all social media and gamertags

[frank vortex]

That's bad lol

[solid hinge]

@marble phoenix makes you an easy target for doxxing

i have a different username for literally every site i go to

[marble phoenix]

surprisingly that doesnt happen too often

just on console

i'll get the occasionally hate mail on Tekken

i actually got some hate mail from a battlefield player last week

[solid hinge]

some people actually die from swatting

[marble phoenix]

sheesh

my only scare was this one dude implying that he'll get me a cab to go to the closest walmart between me and him (mind you i had no idea where he lived) so that we could fight because i whooping him in tekken

[solid hinge]

Dude was probably 14, lol

is there a reason why bullet rocket and AA tracers that sort of thing dont match up with what they actually do

i get damaged as soon as a tank shoots and they tracer follows behind

same with anti air

and if im around the corner the aa will still damage me for a while

funnily enough most rage quitters/hatemail players in fighting games tend to be the biggest losers irl

[marble phoenix]

since i started playing battlefield it helps alleviate a little pressure from playing tekken

cause got damn i hate losing in that game

[solid hinge]

wtf u get hate mail lol

[glossy locust]

battlefield is about the most enraging game on the market

always has been

if you're team is getting stomped you can go in loops of spawn/die like no other game

[solid hinge]

Meh

I’d argue that

The battlefield community is pretty nice

[glossy locust]

compared to like league?

yes

chat is usually rage though

[solid hinge]

On the other hand, Destiny has a cancerous community

I stopped playing that

[marble phoenix]

destiny = old halo players

[glossy locust]

any online game has a pretty toxic community league is the worst of those

[charred heron]

Destiny is getting repetetive really quickly

Just like the maps in BFV

[solid hinge]

LOL true

[glossy locust]

i think narvic is the only one that really annoys me currently

so many hidey holes

[solid hinge]

I hate Fjell

[charred heron]

Rotterdam and Hamada are my least liked maps

[glossy locust]

yeah fjell is the worst for sure but narvic you have people sniping on that hill to the right/left

and sniping from the ship

[charred heron]

They're flawed in every way

[glossy locust]

no where to hide betwen flags

[charred heron]

Fjell is nice but has too many planes

And the AA positioning is rather garbage

[solid hinge]

Devastation is fun

[glossy locust]

I mean lets look at maps that are actually good, gulf of omen, strike at karkand, operation firestorm, caspian border, st quentin scar

[charred heron]

Camping A on Devestation because your team sucks

Fun

[solid hinge]

Lol I usually play around D on Devastation

nah man B

[glossy locust]

the game wasn't super popular until BF3 and Operation Metro. Operation Metro brough the people that like fast-paced shooting action like COD to the battlefield series

[stone brook]

no no no

best map - CANALS

[solid hinge]

YES

[glossy locust]

Canals is good

[stone brook]

64 player hardcore TDM, fast respawns

[glossy locust]

see TDM is so anti battlefield

but it is what a lot of players (there are tons of 24/7 locker/metro servers for a reason)

[stone brook]

i never liked metro

not enough paths

[pulsar summit]

Metro <3

[glossy locust]

yeah i don't get people that like that but obvioulsy a ton of people do

I wish every map was built like st quentin scar

[stone brook]

let's see in bf4 there was that one map great for tdm

the one with all the cargo containers

at the big building in the corner next to the water

[solid hinge]

Ugh st Quentin is okay but I played the hell out of it to the point that I hate playing it now

Tbh that’s all the BF1 base game maps for me

[glossy locust]

i mean st quentin like arras is the closest thing

but st quntin is better than arras

and i don't know why

they are very similiar on paper

[scenic beacon]

the fields

[stone brook]

let's see in bf1 i liked argonne a lot

[glossy locust]

so you pretty much just like infantry maps

[stone brook]

yea exactly

i don't enjoy conquest at all

[solid hinge]

lol wtf is this shit

conquest is shit

playing the objective is non existent

just zerging around the map

[glossy locust]

conquest is battlefield

i guess not anymore

[stone brook]

i played a lot of war pigeons, domination, tdm, etc

[glossy locust]

in bf2 that's the only gamemode they had

all the maps were balanced around it

[solid hinge]

u cant defend objectives cuz there is just a massive group of people going objective to objective on both teams

[stone brook]

i just wish they brought back custom servers because 32 players isnt enough for those gametypes

[glossy locust]

32 isn't enough for TDM?

[stone brook]

ive been playing since bc2

no, the maps are way too b ig for just 32

needs 64

[solid hinge]

Breakthrough is where it’s at

[pulsar summit]

2 squad mates camping at base as reacon, 1 in a plane and I'm playing the objective alone

[stone brook]

i'd honestly prefer like 128p TDM on slightly bigger maps but people would probably whine a lot

[solid hinge]

does anyone know how to fix the fact that rocket damages u before the rocket actually hits you from the tracer

[glossy locust]

the map design was 100% better when it was based on conquest and they didn't have to fit 17 different game modes

it's a fact

[solid hinge]

i think maps need to be bigger

thats why panzerstorm is like one of my faves

[glossy locust]

the best maps in bf3 and bf4 were from older battlefields

[stone brook]

no way, the maps for 32p stuff are way big

[solid hinge]

bigger is better

[glossy locust]

should just be two game modes

rush and conquest

that's it

rush is breakthrough?

[stone brook]

ive been playing conquest for the unlocks but i hate it

i mean i do fine but they're just way too big, too much running around and not enough fighting

that's why i prefer the small map gametypes

[glossy locust]

dude there is tons of action in 64p conquest

[pulsar summit]

I hate panzer and hamada

[glossy locust]

do you spawn on points?

[stone brook]

i spawn all over

wherever I need to go

[glossy locust]

and pretty much constant gun fights in almost any map

besides arras and

panzer

[stone brook]

nah

when you say constant gun fights

i think back to bf3 and 4

and the 64p hardcore tdm instant respawn servers i played

[glossy locust]

see i don't know why they cater to players that want that there are other games for you cod

[stone brook]

cod doesnt have bf gun mechanics

[glossy locust]

i know it's a meme but if you want TDM COD does it better

[stone brook]

it's too arcadey

not at all, COD can't come close to replicating those kinds of servers

last one i played was the one with exosuits or something

[unborn blaze]

That's any of them before WW2

[stone brook]

advanced warfare maybe?

[unborn blaze]

Possibly

[glossy locust]

but 64 player TDM is like chaos and explosive spam

just yuck

[stone brook]

cod is too arcadey for me, couldn't ever stick with it

yea that's the point, it's a constant adrenaline rush

"will i respawn with someone behind me?"

[glossy locust]

and instatnly die

[stone brook]

most of them had like 2-3 second immunity or something

[glossy locust]

I dunno I don't think I'm alone but battlefield map design has gone downhill since they started putting in hevey infantry maps like metro

look at strike at karkand

it IS an infantry maps

[stone brook]

is that a bf1 map?

[glossy locust]

they remade it in bf3

[stone brook]

o

[glossy locust]

originally a bf2 map

it has two tanks

but most of the fighting is in buildings

[unborn blaze]

oh, god, Metro

[glossy locust]

dude this guy is case on point and probably what about 50% of the current playerbase is

they love that shit

eat it up

explosive spam no vehicles

give them more

[solid hinge]

yes

they hate vehicles

big maps is better for vehicles

[unborn blaze]

I hate infantry maps

[gray glade]

i'd love to see more armored vehicles in bfv

including tanks

[solid hinge]

but why do rockets damage me before they hit me is there an option to fix this shit

[marble phoenix]

more tanks?!

[scenic beacon]

cough panzerstorm cough

[solid hinge]

The rockets are fucked at the moment

yes panzerstorm is good but its only one map

[gray glade]

panzerstorm?

[marble phoenix]

"Erroneous!" - Jeremy from wedding crashers

[solid hinge]

best map ever in bf5

[gray glade]

if only it had breakthru

i would ever play it

[solid hinge]

yes exactly

Where they hit on your screen is totally different to their actual position

conquest is so bad

They seem to hit you twice

yes ayla exactly as well

Initial impact and then extra damage

i get dmaaged before the tracer hits me

and then it damage me when it actually hits me

The tracer has missed me multiple times and i still take damage

It's weirdly delayed

i think frostbite is a bad engine or something out of all games i ever played this one is the worst

[scenic beacon]

i feel it too a bit

[stone brook]

i may be in the minority but i dont like the health/ammo system at all in bf5

feels so clunky

[solid hinge]

I reversed down a hill and watched the tracer fly overhead and then exploded

player movement in frostbite is so spazzy too

Like 3 seconds after I went down

[stone brook]

have you guys been noticing rubberbanding terrain lately?

yesterday i saw a whole bunch of trees rubberbanding all over the place

[solid hinge]

What do you mean?

[gray glade]

i see terrain reappearing

somtimes

[frank vortex]

That's LOD.

[solid hinge]

frostbite engine sucks its just graphically good

[stone brook]

like the top of the tree would be stretched out

and flying all over the place

[scenic beacon]

a little bit, yes, but not much

[solid hinge]

battlefield is weird game for me i didnt even know it properly unntil like start of 2018 and im already kina done with the genre

just not fun but of course its personal

[stone brook]

bf5 is not a good representation tbh

bad company 2 was amazing

[marble phoenix]

bf5 is a top game in the series

and its early

[scenic beacon]

i like it, could have a few improvements, but not comparing it to anything, i think its good

[solid hinge]

just wait like march next year and it will be ok just like bf1

[gray glade]

i feel a part of the trick of enjoying battlefield games is to not take it TOO seriously

[marble phoenix]

well let me rephrase what i said...bf5 is some of the most fun ive had with their games in the series

[gray glade]

try out different stuff, do fun things

not just play the most OP vehicle the entire game

or gun etc

[scenic beacon]

LIBERATOR MAINS UNITE

[solid hinge]

yes i thought bf was gonna be tactical and stuff but its just like a run around shoot people arcade game which annoys me

[gray glade]

lol @scenic beacon

[marble phoenix]

nah battlefield is not just run and gun, depepnding on the mode

[gray glade]

i dont mean it should be arcadey

[lilac crag]

one shot stg ??

[solid hinge]

it feels arcadey to me

[lilac crag]

is this new or seomthing

[marble phoenix]

COD is wayyyyy more arcade style type of pace

[gray glade]

but you see many players that never ever use the vast majority of the guns

[solid hinge]

pubg for example its shoot kill but it feels like there is a purpose and u pick up stuff and shit its just cooler imo

[gray glade]

having fun is why i even started playing bf games back in 2003

[solid hinge]

and there is no risk to dying cuz u just restart

easily

[marble phoenix]

pubg isnt a thrown in the fps genre though is it?

its more battle royale than it is squad/team based

when i think of fps i think of COD, halo, battlefield, etc

[solid hinge]

is r6 an fps

i think it too tactical

[autumn nest]

[frank vortex]

Okay, he's special.

That's that then.

[autumn nest]

It's still an fps

[marble phoenix]

r6= resident evil?

[solid hinge]

rainbow six siege

[frank vortex]

ARMA is still a FPS/TPS.

[scenic beacon]

rainbow six

[marble phoenix]

yea thats mos def a fps

[frank vortex]

The fact that it's more tactical that other games doesn't change that it's an FPS.

[solid hinge]

fps for me is like cod run and gun i know fps means first person shooter but like

[echo sand]

What's so hard about quitting that this game has a hard time with?

[marble phoenix]

pubg doesnt pull those FPS strings to me

[solid hinge]

cuz for me its like bf has so much potential i dont wanna leave it but its annoying me

[stone brook]

i hate battle royale games

[solid hinge]

beezy

[stone brook]

hate hate hate

[echo sand]

Seems like it locks up every other time I quit

[solid hinge]

oh i read u wrong

lol

[echo sand]

@solid hinge I mean closing the game, lol

Not actually quitting

[solid hinge]

client side bf is fucked up

[marble phoenix]

nah the load screens between the quiting a match and getting back to the main menu is terribly slow

[solid hinge]

client side i mean like program stuff

well all of it is program stuff i guess

i got premeir for last time this month now i just let bf go i will be happier

[serene estuary]

@marble phoenix i think some people's load times are bugged. I'm on a damn m.2 970 Evo NVME for bfv, it's like 3x the speed of normal SSDs, but it takes me twice as long to load in/out of games in bfv as my friends on worse computers

[echo sand]

You're not gonna play anymore?

I'm having a lot of fun besides the occasional bugs

[solid hinge]

i wait for it to be fixed and everything

[echo sand]

Yeah

[marble phoenix]

Lmaooo damn, @serene estuary

[solid hinge]

i think im not enjoying because i have 1050 and even though i run like 60 fps it doesnt feel like it

[echo sand]

It reminds me a lot of BF3... which was the best BF to me

[marble phoenix]

BF4 is argubaly my favorite one. BF3 is the foundation though

that was the first one i played

[echo sand]

I have a 1050 Ti and it runs fine for me

[serene estuary]

@marble phoenix yeah, it should load fast af for me and crawls, I think it's some kind of bug some people are just stuck with right now

[echo sand]

Have you tweaked your video settings?

[solid hinge]

ya

[echo sand]

I could definitely use a better card soon though

Get 60-70 FPS right now

[solid hinge]

1060 6gb is best or rx 580

or there is new one coming up i dont knwo what it is

for amd but yes

[stone brook]

the loading screen while quitting back to main menu is slow even on my rig

something in the code

[echo sand]

@solid hinge Next card I get will be a 1080 Ti

Waiting for the price to come down a tad more

[thorn heart]

someone tell me if they're joking or not

I got my blockade runner set but it gave my two pants instead of the full outfit

[lucid kestrel]

same lol

wonder if we even got the 10cc for the duplicate :v

[ripe ember]

well i think that bfv needs more content in ToW

[sleek trail]

It's still early acces

[lilac crag]

when you get shot you dont get aim punched

[autumn nest]

I'm just waiting for Firestorm

who knows it could bring in a lot more players

[keen dagger]

BFV does need more content in TOW

[thorn current]

Hey DICE when are you going to fix the infinite loading screen after a round?!!!!

[solid hinge]

They already said the reason it does this is because it essentially loads the next map first and then quits out.

Didn’t seem like they had an answer or fix for this. Seemed low priority to them.

[thorn current]

so annoying happens to me almost every match

[crisp forge]

is the infinite loading a console thing?

[solid hinge]

no, i got it on PC a lot

that happens in battlefront 2 but it just takes longer to quit

It isn't infinite

[hollow canyon]

I think AA does too much damage to tanks

Especially heavy tanks

[solid hinge]

@solid hinge i don't know whether or not it's infinite, but it's quite long, i stayed up to 20 minutes twice and it never loaded, much faster to quit the game and relaunch

@solid hinge oh no i mean the battlefront one isn't infinite

There's definitely something wrong with the bfv one

I killed a tiger with the Valentine AA

Being in a heavy tank doesn't feel much different to being in a light tank at the moment

[dusky saffron]

I swear

the aod clan lmao

[thorn current]

fucks sake infinite loading bug again

[balmy carbon]

who plays bf1

[tacit kelp]

This players are gettig worse

Guy destroy my mines and puts his

not to fell doing this

feel

[jovial forge]

idiot players have been around for ages on Battlefield.

They've only gotten stronger

Be happy friendly fire isnt enabled. It was bad from Bf3 up to BF1

[tacit kelp]

And 2 tanks come to E on Paznerstrolm like they getting home

I think people don't play games anymore

They do fucking ASSIGNMETS

[jovial forge]

What about people who play and do assignments?

[serene island]

Is it possible to do assignments which are already "over"? to get the helmet or the weapons

[opaque hinge]

no

just gotta pay 1700cc tho

cheap af

[thorn current]

hey

you know what seems to fix the infinite loading bug

disabling on screen displays like rivatuner

[steel fjord]

are the assigments for the TOW working now? any tips on how to force it to start counting ?

[candid owl]

verify your files

i dunno

my games hasnt even downloaded yet

[past widget]

Help, battlefield 1 isn't tracking for medals

Worked yesterday but it refuses to do anything now

And I still can't leave a game until I'm already in it, the quit menu between matches infinitely loads

Nevermind, apparently sniper kills only count in tdm

[little fjord]

@steel fjord which task

[steel fjord]

weekly one

[solid river]

@everyone Hi all , new to the Battlefield V and I am looking for someone to show me the ropes , anyone who is keen to guide me let me know will greatly appreciate it

[marble phoenix]

guide = aim and fire

[solid river]

:0 thanks I got that part 😉

[tribal ledge]

Which region are you in?

[solid river]

South Africa however can play on EU

[marble phoenix]

maybe fool around with the sensitivity to find what style suits you

but i promise theres not too many ropes

[solid river]

im looking to see how to play in the online match up's , every time it looks for a match i enter in but no one else is there

[marble phoenix]

just know what the point of the mode is that youre playing

oh yea unfilled matches are a thing

[solid river]

oh , so you kinda need a team first?

[marble phoenix]

i mean you can run solo on a squad

but it is beneficial to have other squad members

[solid river]

ok cool , will see maby some 1 will want to jam later

[candid owl]

@solid river im south africa aswell

[solid river]

hey wats up man ahhh a fellow sa man

[candid owl]

ye XD

add me

my game is still downloading

[solid hinge]

a

[idle rampart]

lol my game is still downloading too

well, in portions

because they released an unfinished game

cant wait for that next download so I can have more of the game I paid for

im not seeing any semblance of a semi-competitive shooter in the current game

[ruby tangle]

unpopular opinion: panzersturm is my favorite map 😃

[idle rampart]

maybe when they release a battle royale, considering how late it is, it shouldnt be as trash/broken

RIGHT GUYS?

RIGHT GUYS?!@?!?!?

[naive scarab]

i dont get company coins after lv.50 no point to keep playing its the shittiest bug i have ever seen

[ruby tangle]

haha reddit is all over with it

I have it too but I dont rlly mind since I have my main weapons maxxed

[idle rampart]

guys you just dont see the two cookies later

you know how EA designed this?

[ruby tangle]

just give me the coins I didnt get when you fix it and we are cool 😎 👍

[idle rampart]

The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different guns and maps

Among other things, we're looking at average ttk rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay.

[ruby tangle]

your pfp is so trippy

[idle rampart]

but seriously whoever is in charge for this battlefield, I'd be looking for side projects

no way in fucking hell you're gonna get hired for anything competitive after this

[ruby tangle]

lol

[idle rampart]

its like, more uncompetitive than any battlefield before it

I dont know how

but they did it

./golfclap

[ruby tangle]

just fix ttd 😃

[idle rampart]

they need to revamp netcode and color palettes in regards to people just being able to bushcamp entire matches with lmgs without even being remotely seen

[naive scarab]

i just want company coins man

[ruby tangle]

I hate when people are literally invisible

[idle rampart]

I'm fine with cover and shit, but when your entire model is invisible because of graphical issues

[ruby tangle]

ye

I agree

[idle rampart]

like turning everything to low and OH HEY EVERYONE IS IN BUSHES AND I CAN SEE THEM
