Nahoy b l y a t am I right

solid hinge
#

Has anyone here seen the short clips of Firestorm posted on the subreddit?

#

Yes.

#

The hud looks really cool.

#

Yea that one.

#

I was just going to say that.

#

The UI is very reminiscent of PUBG in a good way.

#

bf5 is the worst game because bent under fucking tolerance

#

The weight of helga bends the game

formal valve
#

Sherman firefly should be a seperate tank for the Brits

#

US should get the normal Sherman

#

Also the 17 pounder of the archer would melt something

#

But it took me like I dno 13 rounds to kill a 38t

solid hinge
#

It doesn't do much more damage than the Valentine

#

I mean it does but like.. not 17 pounder worth

formal valve
#

Ah what a great reference to the mosquito my name is

#

I didnt see a nerf for t

#

Should get buffed

#

Has a big radius that doesn’t do squat

#

Oof

solid hinge
#

It had a ridiculously large kill radius before

Firestorm is DOA. Change my mind.

dusky saffron
#

What's the proof

solid hinge
#

Any word on airlifts being fixed lol

#

Or at least made better lmao

#

I haven’t even gotten all of my airlifts yet to

dusky saffron
#

I think they mentioned on twitter that they're gonna do something for the airlifts

#

like special outfits

solid hinge
#

Wheres my Ruby red devil

#

Lmao

dusky saffron
#

and same, I haven't gotten the red devil for the brits

shrewd grove
#

I really want more pistols

solid hinge
#

I want new pistols on

#

High Power or Welrod

shrewd grove
#

I like pistols a lot in BFV

solid hinge
#

They actually feel like they can fight other weapons

shrewd grove
#

Ye people keep saying they're pea shooters in this tho

solid hinge
#

Their not though

#

M1911 is still a powerhouse

shrewd grove
#

I like them more than I did in almost every battlefield except like 1

solid hinge
#

Only thing I’ll give them shit on is the Ruby

#

That thing is a peashooter

#

I can make the Liberator do better lol

shrewd grove
#

Ruby is good if you can fire really fast, that's what it's mainly for alongside it's large magazine

solid hinge
#

Yeah

#

I can’t though lol

#

I’m not big on spam tapping

#

I’d rather do big damage

snow ermine
#

Revolver is a two shot body shot pistol. Can't complain.

shrewd grove
#

Sometimes it's a little too good

#

I think it needs a tiny nerf

#

Maybe to hip fire

#

But that'd probably be it

#

I also don't like the one shot headshot

#

Honestly they could slow it's fire rate actually and that'd be good

solid hinge
#

I think it’s fine lol

#

Make it have a higher hip fire spread

#

I see to many revolver ocelots lol

#

Just flip it out and spam fire

coral fiber
#

Mein name ist Peter Müller and ich war dort

shrewd grove
#

Pretty much

solid hinge
#

I agree

shrewd grove
#

That's why I was thinking slow the fire rate since most pistols can shoot rather fast and it would give them a little bit of a chance against the revolver

solid hinge
#

I mean they could just reduce the damage overall

#

3 shot BTK

#

Or 1-2 with a headshot involved

#

Or just buff other pistols

#

Lol

#

Gimme High damage Welrod

#

I’ll be happy

#

I won’t complain about revolver a

shrewd grove
#

I keep mixing up Welrod and Welgun

#

Since I heard the Welguns stats were trash

#

Actually now that I think about it Welrod would probably just be a liberator but with maybe more damage and the benefit of being silent and possibly having a faster reload

half wolf
#

That feel when tanks stop spawning on your team, and now the enemy team has 6 tanks... in Frontlines

#

what the fuuuuuck

solid hinge
#

You can pull back the Welrod to refire. It can basically be a semi-auto revolver. Slow fire, high damage, but silenced

#

And really limited ammo

#

Like 20

#

Make it a pocket primary for stealth

shrewd grove
#

Ye

#

If only we still had archetypes for that stealth one there was

half wolf
#

That feel when you've had 5 straight matches where the enemy team hasn't died once

#

matchbalancemightneedafix

#

Is it just me, or is the playerbase of this game the dumbest of any Battlefield game yet?

solid hinge
#

yeah

#

most people in this server are trash too

#

Honestly mgs/shotguns are broken

solid hinge
#

did the bf4 servers get shut down in february?

limber anchor
#

No the servers are still up

solid hinge
#

thank god

#

BF4 was my middle school years

half wolf
#

it's impressive that it still has a pretty solid population for an ancient game

#

The funny thing is, I see less cheaters in Bf4 than I do in 5 or 1, even though it's an older game with a (presumably) less capable anticheat

sonic rampart
#

I dont, I see no cheaters on bf1 and 5

#

Console Chag

snow ermine
#

"bf4 ancient game" HaHAA

sonic rampart
versed notch
#

Guess that makes BF3 prehistoric

#

And BF:BC2 before dinosaurs were a thimg

solid hinge
#

BFBC2 is the best game

stoic breach
#

Holy shit

#

FG42 buff

#

Yes please

amber notch
#

yes lets buff the one gun that is already fucking OP

stoic breach
#

Hahaha

#

It's a very slight recoil buff

#

Let our supports be assaults even more

solid hinge
#

any word on the update file size?

tacit wraith
#

First time seeing Chinese players on Eu servers this morning mad

#

Obviously going 120-10 is fine with 150+ ms of ping

#

Gotta admire the ability to smoke you at long range with smg

solid hinge
#

they sell anti cheat cheats now in china for apex

tacit wraith
#

Damn

solid hinge
#

IKR, its like a full industry there

lilac vale
#

what the f*ck is anti cheat cheats xd

solid hinge
#

hang on

lilac vale
#

oml

#

is this gonna get you banned if you get exposed for using it

solid hinge
#

no idea

#

not advocating anything, just pointing out what is there

versed girder
#

who wants to play bf1 or bf4 with me (i suck btw lol)

lilac vale
#

not i am gonna use it just asking

#

i prefer screaming at my screen when i see hackers

solid hinge
#

lmao

#

me 2

#

other thing is, a lot of cheaters are so bad at the game they make obvious mistakes

lilac vale
#

yeah cheats arent gonna help you if you cant walk forward

stoic breach
#

Yeah imagine walling someone across the map and not hitting shit and getting shot for not paying attention

#

Basically every first time hacker

lilac vale
#

have you guys ever used a cheat on any game

solid hinge
#

hi

lilac vale
#

hi

solid hinge
#

no, not in any online game

#

h

#

whats the point? who else but you will ever look at your stats, and if you know they are padded, whats the point?

lilac vale
#

i used kill aura in minecraft xd a few years ago

#

for a week or so

#

is there are problem that we are not talking about BF in the BF server right now ?

amber notch
#

someone ping me when the update is live

#

for PC that is

tacit wraith
#

So is this the update where firestorm is downloaded ?

solid hinge
#

yep

#

im very curious to know just how big it is

#

RIP internet till its downloaded

limber anchor
#

Yep then it should be a small update when it actually releases

#

@solid hinge I bet it’s around 15-20gb

lilac vale
#

the update will add battle royale right ?

solid hinge
#

yeah I figure

#

that map is huge

limber anchor
#

It won’t be playable until Tuesday

#

I can’t wait to see some gameplay tomorrow though

snow ermine
#

I'm more interested in the new roadmap which should be released tomorrow.

stoic breach
#

Yess

limber anchor
#

I just hope we get the US OR Russian factions in the next chapter

stoic breach
#

Next chapter will be like 1940-1941 I'm assuming

lilac vale
#

there really should be some new factions becuase its kinda boring only with two

stoic breach
#

The more factions they add the more cosmetic shit they're gonna have to add

#

Maybe the armoury will finally get updated

lilac vale
#

idk the game feels like it isnt finished

#

bf1 had much more factions and shit

stoic breach
#

BF1 also didnt have any customisation

lilac vale
#

yeah i prefer gameplay instead of customisation

stoic breach
#

I know what you mean though

#

The only faction they would've been able to release at this point would've been france

#

Hopefully Battle of Greece isnt just England vs Germany

#

That would be a huge problem

lilac vale
#

even if they just add a different flag it would be better

stoic breach
#

Yeah

lilac vale
#

becuase the war wasnt just the english vs the germans

wicked garnet
kind flame
#

what happening

wicked garnet
#

What a good idea

lilac vale
#

wait who is in the down left corner

#

mhm someone skipped history classes

wicked garnet
#

who cares its a concept

lilac vale
#

eh idk there are so much allies to germany but he chose one of their opponents to be their allies

#

the concept looks good though

kind flame
#

can someone explain what is happening

lilac vale
#

explain what

also "roughly 9.98GBs" weirdly specific for rough number 😄

on pc i got a 28gb one

wicked garnet

pc have to vertifi you game install first

cyan sail
#

yeah, mine verified 28GB of files first then downloaded ~10GB

flint helm
#

Whats the overall patch notes for the update? Can't find anything anywhere

solid hinge
#

Well, thank god. I don't know about you, but for me big updates download quickly on origin. But a small one? 4.46 KB/s should be fine, right?

amber notch

flint helm
#

I did read the announcement, but didn't see the text saying the link was for the notes, which is why I asked

#

Sorry announcement**

#

Thank you @amber notch

hoary condor
#

Just enquired to a tattoo place to get Sanitater done LUL

plain delta
#

is the new chapter available?

solid hinge
#

Just a cool, short 12 hours for a 200MB update. That's what I like

stoic breach
#

Apparently it starts March 28th

#

Even though Firestorm launches March 21st

#

I checked on my xbox for the Chapter 3 thing and it makes no sense

#

Fuck

hoary condor
#

Firestorm is 25th

stoic breach
#

March 25th i mean

solid hinge
#

Bizarre schedule. So we get the patch today, with no tides of war. Then we get Firestorm on Monday. Still no tides of war, then we get that the 28th?

#

Oh

stoic breach
#

Yeah I got todays date mixed up with next monday cause I'm retarded

snow ermine
#

@hoary condor I think I LOVE EA on the forehead would look much cooler.

cyan sail
#

what game mode is BOMBASTICFANTASTIC?

hoary condor
#

Ok, i will get that, thanks for your feedback Kappa

solid hinge
#

Gonna have to get used to new ToW weeks on mondays, now?

flint helm
#

This is going to be a noob question, but what is tides of war

#

I only got the game yesterday

fathom pebble
#

I want only one answer from the new update

#

cosmetics

#

on the armory or like the character appearance tab

#

any new?

hoary condor
#

I'm with your on that one Joker

wicked garnet
#

1 thing

solid hinge
#

Can't wait for 60 billion vehicle kills on prone players in firestorm ToW assignments

wicked garnet
#

The are stupid if the force players to play firestorm for tow

stoic breach
#

There was Firestorm helicopter gameplay on twitter

#

It actually looks pretty cool

timber snow
#

DICE pls stop putting lobotomized chimps in charge of balancing.

snow ermine
#

@fathom pebble nothing new there HaHAA

fathom pebble
hoary condor
#

Gunter v2? Kappa

solid hinge
#

I'm a little confused what the armory is for, honestly

#

Does it really do anything that 'your company' couldn't do more efficiently?

flint helm
#

I've been thinking the same

#

The menus aren't the best

solid hinge
#

Every once in a while I look through it, and all there is is just... Stuff you can already buy in 'your company' But some of the things are on sale

flint helm
#

Does triangle still bring up the squad screen when you respawn? Couldn't see it when I played earlier but that's how it's always been, now I just pause and select squads

solid hinge
#

So it's not even like... a display of items on sale. It just sort of shows a very limited list of cosmetics, but not nearly all of them.

flint helm
#

They need to streamline some of their navigation stuff

solid hinge
#

Absolutely

flint helm
#

Are people a fan of the weapon upgrade trees

#

Because I prefer adding functional attachments like previous titles

#

But I'm willing to give it a go

solid hinge
#

It's also weird to me that you can't check the tides of war objectives for the assignments screen

jolly quartz
#

Nice to see Dice is still refusing to give us ANY fucking cosmetics

flint helm
#

Look at their history with battlefront @jolly quartz

solid hinge
#

Or how it only show one ToW assignment at a time on the pause screen while in a match

jolly quartz
#

I know

#

That's the saddest bit

#

You'd think after the community reaction they'd change their tune

#

Even when they tote is being such a major thing about this title

solid hinge
#

I'd like it if I could select an assignment to track, and have it always show on screen if I so like

flint helm
#

There has to be a reason for it, just a shame they don't let us know why

jolly quartz
#

And let youtubers make showcase videos claiming it will all be available at all launch

lapis berry
#

Battlefield 4 is the best battlefield change my mind!

flint helm
#

Yeah that's the worst part

jolly quartz
#

It blantent false advertising

solid hinge
#

Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but so much stuff around it is just broken or poorly designed

#

I hate the feel of the guns in BF4

jolly quartz
#

Anyone remember the elite kits?

#

February remembers

solid hinge
#

And I didn't like the vanilla maps, either

lapis berry
#

oh yeah i do!

amber notch
#

@jolly quartz you mean the outfits

lapis berry
#

most useless thing

amber notch
#

they are coming

#

trust me.

solid hinge
#

And BF4 was way worse than BF5 at launch

lapis berry
#

yes

jolly quartz
#

Bfv in a nutshell; 1 tip toe forward, 10 leaps back

flint helm
#

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but often when I start a new match and I don't spawn in straight away, the spawn map sticks at a weird angle and doesn't go to top down view until I spawn in and die

lapis berry
#

but atleast people still play it

#

6 years later

jolly quartz
#

Yeah the old Soon TM bs

lapis berry
#

people still play it

solid hinge
#

I'll admit, I quit BF4 before it was supposedly fixed, so what I think about it may not fully apply at this point

jolly quartz
#

Heard it all before

flint helm
#

I still play battlefield 4

#

It's good

lapis berry
#

correction its brilliant

gray glade
#

what if they are waiting for firestorm with the crazy customizations because they dont look like uniforms? woahthink

lapis berry
#

it still has the best players

jolly quartz
#

28th March it starts

#

We are getting the update now

flint helm
#

Dice need to understand that gamers want transparency and that we'll understand if they are short staffed etc. Giving us no explanation for lack of content will just piss us off

solid hinge
#

I might give BF4 another shot

jolly quartz
#

Lol they have More authentic uniforms locked away

flint helm
#

It's 25th @jolly quartz

jolly quartz
#

That's for firestorm

gray glade
#

they want ppl to buy boins

lapis berry
#

i cant play BFV yet as its not free to play on origin access

gray glade
#

so they wait with da best customizations

jolly quartz
#

The actual 3rd chapter of Tow starts 28th it's literally in the game right now

flint helm
#

Jesus how many cascading release dates do they need

lapis berry
#

ive played my 10 hour trial

solid hinge
#

I felt snipers were a bit too strong in BF4, though. There was way less bullet drop. But it also sort of felt like the bullet velocity was lower?

jolly quartz
#

It just shites me tbh

#

We know they exists

lapis berry
#

bullet drop is a major thing now!

flint helm
#

Snipers were too strong in battlefield 1

solid hinge
#

I like bullet drop

jolly quartz
#

At least with the weapons and vehicles we don't really besides data mining

flint helm
#

I'm so glad there's less snipers in bfV

gray glade
#

i agree with Virtual MAx

solid hinge
#

But my first fps was Battlefield 1942. So I never got used to hit scan, so fast bullets with low drop feel weird as hell to me

flint helm
#

I feel like bullet velocity changed between battlefield 4 and now

lapis berry
#

half the BF4 players dont know that the Glock 18 is the best pistol

flint helm
#

Like majorly

jolly quartz
#

I just find it ironic that people cried for more accurate outfits after the reveal and yet are totally fine with what we got at launch

lapis berry
#

its a really good pistol for recon

jolly quartz
#

Nothing screams British army like yank uniforms

solid hinge
#

I think Battlefield V feels a lot like BF3

jolly quartz
#

As the British gear is locked away for some fucking god knows what reason

flint helm
#

Well it doesn't feel like Battlefield 1, which is what I was expecting

lapis berry
#

oh battlefield 1 will be forgotten

#

like BF3

jolly quartz
#

Hardly

lapis berry
#

BF4 and BFV wont

jolly quartz
#

It did so much good and opened up the ww1 theatre

versed notch
#

BF3 forgetten? OMEGALUL

flint helm
#

Battlefield 3 > battlefield 4

lapis berry
#

they are the best games they've ever made

snow ermine
#

if bfv has no rsp it will be forgotten much faster HaHAA

lapis berry
#

REEEE

solid hinge
#

BF3 isn't forgotten, just hard to play because of how battlelog and all that

flint helm
#

Lmfao battle log

lapis berry
#

battlefield hardline i loved

flint helm
#

Battle log is basically Google+

mild echo
#

Bf3 will never be forgotten. Wtf you talking about?

solid hinge
#

I also prefer BF3 over BF4. Not to say BF3 doesn't have some huge issues, some pretty ridiculous ones

jolly quartz
#

Hardine was a gem

solid hinge
#

Like the BF3 netcode. Shudders

snow ermine
#

battlelog > whole bf5 interface

jolly quartz
#

In a ironic twist it's literally the bf the community cries for

#

But cOpS & rObBeRs!

solid hinge
#

Better interface, yes, but having to reload the game between every match? Nah

#

I hear BF4 integrated battlelog into a full game launcher, so that sounds like a pretty good solution. Wish they would have done that for BF3

flint helm
#

I just want them to fix bugs and add some guns/cool cosmetics

solid hinge
#

For some reason, whenever I join a server in BF3 now, the game loads, then just closes.

flint helm
#

Why do they charge the same amount for a small muzzle as they do for an entire stock skin

solid hinge
#

And on the rare occasion that it actually doesn't close, I can't control the game.

#

Who knows

flint helm
#

Let's march on Dice

solid hinge
#

Lowkey knows a person who works at DICE

snow ermine
#

dice are slaves, no need to terrorize them

solid hinge
#

Well, knows is an exhaggeration

#

We went to uni together

flint helm
#

Something happened to dice and I'm not sure what

#

Probably EA

solid hinge
#

DICE has more freedom within EA than people realise lol

flint helm
#

Then they should tell us what's up

#

And give some explanation

#

So we can go hey that's cool keep at it

#

Instead people are like SCREEEE WHAT ARE THEY DOING

#

Because they give no transparency

bitter imp
#

Anyone tried out the new flying mechanics yet?

snow ermine
#

right, especially after Braddock clearly stated on Reddit that any content release is controlled by legal and finance of EA. Yeah, so much freedom. HaHAA

flint helm
#

👀

solid hinge
#

Don't forget that the former CEO of DICE went on to be executive vice president of EA

flint helm
#

Don't forget EA scrapped a star wars game everyone was looking forward to 😔

snow ermine
#

bf5 flops - dice is dead and they hire a bunch of Pakistanis instead. simple as that

solid hinge
#

That's specific

flint helm
#

Wut

solid hinge
#

I like that they scrapped all the micro transactions

snow ermine
#

Only because of the backlash with Battlefront 2

solid hinge
#

But I'm a little worried EA will get the wrong idea and think "well, it didn't make a difference", even though the reason it's underperforming is because it was rushed out the gates, and isn't feature complete

#

I hope firestorm does well, because it could mean more resources are put into the game

#

They managed to turn BF4 around, after all.

#

Well, we get the new roadmap Soon™ tomorrow-ish. Let's hope it looks good.

#

Well, yeah, why else would they?

#

This is capitalism, after all

#

Corporations don't have feelings

snow ermine
#

You don't say. HaHAA

solid hinge
#

Backlash is the only moral compass that most corporations operate on

#

But as long as they keep doing what they're doing with FIFA... I can't really let EA off the hook

hard oracle
#

my game is updating is firestorm out now?

gray glade
#

firestorm mode active on monday

#

but game update today with various fixes etc

hard oracle
#

then why there is 9.98gb updater

solid hinge
#

They've gotten away with it so far because FIFA players are semi-disconnected from the rest of gaming. If you look at the magnitude of the problem, FIFA has been worse than Battlefront 2 for a long time

gray glade
#

i think firestorm is in the game, but we cant play it

#

cuz they wanna wait to 25th

compact kraken
#

^ think of it as preload before release

hard oracle
#

@gray glade do we have to again update our game on monday?
\

solid hinge
#

It makes sense to roll the patch out a few days before, to make sure it doesn't break on launch, and gives some time for minor fixes

#

And they're probably going to open some new servers for Firestorm

flint helm
#

@hard oracle if you want a massive update all at once then have fun

hard oracle
#

@flint helm LOL

gray glade
#

im not sure, but i hope we dont have to update on monday

snow ermine
#

It's not about what is objectively worse it's about who cries the loudest. Gamers are sheep and operate on herd mentality.

solid hinge
#

I'm not a huge battle royale fan, myself, so I'm happy with the balance tweaks and bug fixes

gray glade
#

maybe they wanna check this for a few bugs, so that when firestorm is active, they know there are no breaking bugs

flint helm
#

Not always, but when it comes to anger they generally herd together

gray glade
#

dunno

hard oracle
#

Im a big fan of battle royals

flint helm
#

Meh

#

I was thinking about battle royales

#

And almost every battlefield game is a battle royale

#

Except you have multiple lives

solid hinge
#

Oh, the quality of life tracker updated today

flint helm
#

So would I rather have 1 life and have to load the game, or have lots of lives🤔

#

Aside from a bigger map and survival scavenging

hard oracle
#

its a battle royal trend now a days

gray glade
#

it will be interesting to see how this compares to other BR's

flint helm
#

I don't mind battle royales I like the survival aspect

#

But overall I'm just like ugh when I die and have to load a new game

gray glade
#

does any other BR game have destruction?

#

or tanks

flint helm
#

Yeah

#

Minecraft

gray glade
#

minecraft BR

#

BOOM

solid hinge
#

heh

hard oracle
#

@gray glade i dont thnk so

flint helm
#

Aka survival

solid hinge
#

Minecraft hunger games has been a thing forever

flint helm
#

^

gray glade
#

that sounds like an awesome game tbh lol

flint helm
#

Can't believe everyone copied Minecraft

solid hinge
#

might have even been the first

flint helm
#

I bought pubg for PS4 yesterday and my god the port is awful

lilac vale
#

Everyone is copying from the legend

solid hinge
#

pubg port isn't playable

gray glade
#

you fight for survival an entire game, but as the circle comes to the ending, you run over a hill - and an enemy squad built an entire submarine from scratch

flint helm
#

It's so bad @solid hinge

solid hinge
#

not sure how they got away with releasing that

#

literally feels like an alpha version

lilac vale
#

What is the circle going to be made of

flint helm
#

And the fact they haven't fixed it yet? Like just the controls layout? How the fuck have they got away with that

gray glade
#

flint helm
#

@lilac vale fire for battlefield V

solid hinge
#

People put up with it or drop it immediately I guess

flint helm
#

True

solid hinge
#

Remember DayZ?

#

Me neither

amber notch
#

no

lilac vale
#

Oh but when you win the fire is still going to burn you

#

Xd

amber notch
#

whats dayz

flint helm
#

I'm only playing it because my friend loves the mobile version so I bought us both a copy for pS4

amber notch
#

I only know arma 2 mod

sturdy tangle
#

new update uuuuuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

amber notch
#

we know

flint helm
#

They've added in the M1 grand

#

Oh wait no they haven't

solid hinge
#

Did you hear DayZ officially released in December?

flint helm
#

Lol

solid hinge
#

And is still missing features from the mod

flint helm
#

Maybe battlefield V is purposefully half baked because they need to justify releasing a better game next year

lilac vale
#

Yeah and its an insane amount of money

flint helm
#

You're paying for their pension @lilac vale

solid hinge
#

M1 Garand will probably be added with the US faction

flint helm
#

Is US still not in the game? I hadn't noticed lmao @solid hinge

#

All they had to do was nail the basics, UK, Germany, Japan, and US

#

But no

lilac vale
#

Are they even gonna add the secone half of the game

solid hinge
#

USSR, as well

lilac vale
#

Yeaj you forgot ussr

flint helm
#

Ofc, soz

#

I'm scared of mother Russia is all

solid hinge
#

And if they want an even number, France

topaz onyx
#

nah allow france

flint helm
#

Meh

topaz onyx
#

we had a taste of that in bf1

flint helm
#

They suffered a lot so I guess we can let them in

#

I was hoping for some strong call of duty world at war vibes from battlefield V tbh

solid hinge
#

I'd enjoy a mode where you play as French resistance fighters and sabotage stuff and have to sneak around

flint helm
#

Would have been nice

snow ermine
#

SVT-40 ❤

lilac vale
#

It would be cool if you are in france/the netherlands to have an option to choose to be french or British

flint helm
#

I hope they remaster bad company 2 and Vietnam for ps5/ next gen stuff

solid hinge
#

Or give us a bad company 3

flint helm
#

No I'm not trusting them with new content yet lol @solid hinge

snow ermine
#

Any remaster is a bad idea.

flint helm
#

Why

solid hinge
#

Nah, there are good remaster ideas

#

REMASTER BF2!

#

There is no official way to play or purchase BF2 anymore

stoic breach
#

No remasters

snow ermine
#

wut? You can still easily play bf2 and there are active servers around.

topaz onyx
#

look at cod mw remaster it was good

flint helm
#

I think they mean battlefield 2, not bad company @snow ermine

#

Yeah why all the hate for a remaster

lilac vale
#

I would love if they add a campaign in BF5 that is with the people from the first mission in bfbc2

topaz onyx
#

especially now that its free for ps plus

flint helm
#

OMFG that mission in bad company 2 was amazing @lilac vale

#

I absolutely hate the war stories concept

#

Although the introduction when you first start the game is really nice

lilac vale
#

Yeah i prefer a campaign that focus on 1 person or 1 squad

#

That is long and have a good story

solid hinge
#

Revamp the audio, modernise textures and geometry. New lighting, new particle effects, new UI. Modern resolutions, and tweak how you unlock the unlockable kit weapons. That would be a perfect remaster for BF2.

#

The improved geometry is optional, I guess

flint helm
#

I haven't played all the war stories from battlefield V yet, but battlefield 1 war stories was such a blatant force of providing a multiplayer tutorial, left a sour taste in my mouth

solid hinge
#

Alright, bf5 is done updating

#

The modern warfare remaster has fucking abysmal online

topaz onyx
#

bad company is the sort of game were i dont mind the silly cosmetics something like bf heroes

dusky saffron
#

mw remaster is dead

solid hinge
#

the bfv war stories are nothing special

snow ermine
#

We already have a good bf2 remaster. It's called Battlefield 4 HaHAA

dusky saffron
#

heh

flint helm
#

Yeah I don't plan on playing them tbh @solid hinge

solid hinge
#

MW remaster was free on playstation this month

#

not worth it

flint helm
#

Yeah I'm literally just playing MW remaster for the campaign

dusky saffron
#

Sweet christ

#

armor

solid hinge
#

if the blenheim mk1 could do that with paradrop I'd pick it

lilac vale
#

Also the war stories are super unrealistic . I shot someone from 200meters with a sniper and somehow everyone knew where i was the second the body fall on the ground

topaz onyx
#

idk about the UI in firestorm

flint helm
#

Would have been funny if the other dude ran under the tank by mistake

dusky saffron
#

lmaoo

solid hinge
#

The AI in war stories is bad

#

They see you through walls and shit

flint helm
#

I miss the old school battlefield UI where like it would actually look like a world war 2 map etc

dusky saffron
#

Battlefield AI has practically always been terribad

#

after BC2

flint helm
#

Battlefield UI has lost its identity recently

solid hinge
#

It would be funny if the daily order "resupply allies" couldn't be done if you play Axis

dusky saffron
#

I wouldn't say it lost its identity

stoic breach
#

The BFV update was supposed to come an hour ago

snow ermine
#

It did

solid hinge
#

If you want to talk bad battlefield AI, let's talk 1942!

dusky saffron
#

it's more along the lines of the dev team for it doesn't get that it's not fleshed out properly

solid hinge
#

There was a freaking slider for AI

dusky saffron
#

lmao

flint helm
#

Do you think after battlefield 4/ hardline they made battlefield 1 and were like hey we forgot to change the UI to suit the time period and they were like nah fuck it

solid hinge
#

And if you didn't want performance to tank back then, you put it on low, and oh god...

#

The way the made it so they didn't have perfect aim was to just have them aim in circles and shoot randomly. You could look at an enemy from afar, and see them just flailing their weapons in the air, it was brilliant

dusky saffron
#

It's almost Homefront tier AI

#

it's not good

#

Best AI ingame is something like FEAR

flint helm
#

Red dead 2 😎

dusky saffron
#

Last of Us

Crisis 1 had really good ai

dusky saffron

You're reading off the webpage now @lilac vale

#

lmao

lilac vale

dusky saffron
#

Gotcha

solid hinge
#

red dead 2 had questionable ai

dusky saffron

Even if it wasn't the best

dusky saffron
#

FC2 had good AI

amber notch
solid hinge
#

Wat?

flint helm
#

Why do my guns keep duplicating in my inventory

#

When I unlock a new gun the previous gun duplicates

stoic breach
#

It said UI update at 11am UTC which is 9pm AEST

solid hinge

Games made really well

flint helm

So I have two m1911 now

stoic breach

I'll check again

lilac vale

@flint helm in which game

flint helm

Battlefield V

solid hinge

hey guys is update released ?

It'll disappear after a couple games

I can't upload pics here

double whammy

dusky saffron

imagine trying

#

hmm

#

I don't like this

flint helm
#

They're embracing world war 2

dusky saffron
#

After Battlefront

stoic breach
#

Alright I had to restart my xbox for the 3rd time to update

solid hinge
#

I wish we could see damage done to targets in practice range

stoic breach
solid hinge
#

tfw panzer 4 nerf

dusky saffron
#

Frostbyte has this direction system where it like

solid hinge
#

And use the unlockable weapons

dusky saffron
#

acts as the target shells are flying past you

#

but it makes the shell travel in a weird way

solid hinge
#

And use specialisation, so we can ACTUALLY TEST WEAPONS AND PRACTICE THEM

dusky saffron
#

Battlefront 2 does this a lot with blasters

#

if someone misses

snow ermine
#

making practice range good is too much effort for dice HaHAA

solid hinge
#

You see the shell go ten foot above your head and then you take damage from it

dusky saffron
#

it would put it so it hits your character but does no damage as visual candy

solid hinge
#

And use any vehicle. And any specialisation for vehicles

dusky saffron
#

That's one major issue they have in this game tbh

solid hinge
#

One can dream

dusky saffron
#

It's a cinematic system

solid hinge
#

tfw you get hit by 3 sniper shots in bf2 but take 0 damage cause they all missed

dusky saffron
#

but it doesn't work

solid hinge
#

affects my MORALE

#

Putting the fear of god into me

dusky saffron
#

It specifically occurs with tanks smh

#

and I hate it

solid hinge
#

Here's the thing... BF4 had a pretty good practice range

#

it's godawful

#

I drove down a valley on aerodrome to avoid enemy tank fire

topaz onyx
#

tank movement in bf4 was good

solid hinge
#

They'd got me from 100 to under 20 and every shot on my screen visually had missed

#

Sure, it had it's problems, but at least you got an indication of how much damage you did by the target folding when you hit it enough

dusky saffron
#

not what I mean

#

Since you're in first person

#

it could've hit a different part

solid hinge
#

I was in 3rd person bitch

dusky saffron
solid hinge
#

It went a solid 2 metres above my head

#

..hatch?

#

Wait... They CHANGED THE LOOK OF THE PRACTICE RANGE SOLDIER?! WTF

#

need a small cosmetic head on my tank so I can say head

dusky saffron
#

Anyways

solid hinge
#

That's a new skin.

dusky saffron
#

They need to either get rid of that cinematic system

#

or actually fix it

#

sometimes I see panzer's not even fire a shot and it hitscans me

solid hinge
#

I'm 100% sure that's not how he looked before

#

Nice bullet necklace

dusky saffron
#

@solid hinge That's NEW

stoic breach
#

That skin is nice

solid hinge
#

There's problems with things firing funny

#

Yeah, it is

#

Sometimes I shoot and there's no visual or audio indicator of it

#

I wonder if they've made other changes then, to the practice range

#

Then the house im aiming at blows up

#

Who wants to bet I'm about to look like an idiot?

#

Makes me feel like a witch

gray glade
#

im slightly worried about firestorm lol

stoic breach
#

Yeah

gray glade
#

i played this patch for about 20 minutes

stoic breach
#

You fool

solid hinge
#

Have a go at the practice range

gray glade
#

the game crashed once, just CTD

#

next the server crashed

solid hinge
#

The worst that can happen is wasting an hour

#

The server crashed..

gray glade
#

actually server disconnection

#

but this is the most unstable my BFV has been since launch

solid hinge
#

😦

#

Concerning

flint helm
#

Pls

#

What platform you guys playing on

solid hinge
#

Ps4

snow ermine
#

Remember CTE and being able to test new weapons? Bf5 is so cookie cutter it's not even funny

solid hinge
#

Well, still no specialisation of weapons, and no ToW weapons

#

Still not added yet?

#

Just a skin?

flint helm
#

Can I add people on PS4 pls

solid hinge
#

But something they forgot to put in the patch notes; they fixed the bug where you couldn't change firing modes with the M30 Drilling if you were reloading

flint helm
#

None of my psn friends have battlefield v

solid hinge
#

This SUCKED, because you'd fire a slug, and now you have to reload, and the person you shot is getting closer, and now you're dead because you couldn't change to buckshot

sly vault
#

depends what server you on

solid hinge
#

Ok, So... They've made it so you have a brief window where you can change firing modes. But you can't interrupt the reload

#

They fixed it?

#

That's not bad!

amber notch
sly vault
#

now onto team balance

solid hinge
formal valve
#

I love how we don’t have boins

dusky saffron
#

@solid hinge trying to figure out what dogtag to use

solid hinge
#

@solid hinge One problem I noticed, though; If you fire a slug, switch to buckshot and fire both, you can't switch back to slugs and then reload. If you've already fired your slug, and you fire both buckshots, you can't go straight to reloading the slug, you have to reload the buckshot first, and vice versa

#

Still no more options for planes in the practice range, either

green elm
#

@dusky saffron change dogtags every time u kill someone

#

u weeb

amber notch
#

ironic

dusky saffron
#

Very ironic

no new or unused skin

Still good?

#

Fuck

idle breach

actually

#

the cannon is kinda nerfed but

#

every plane cannon nerfed,

#

4000lb bomb became far slower, that's a nerf but

new flight model is actually beneficial for mosquito I think

at least make ju88c viable I say

@onyx stream with G43, 3X scope recoil got a bit heavier

if you flak right mosquito goes down in single strafe

and every plane got nerfed in speed

so it's now easier

4000lb bomb eh

Quick repair is stupid imo

idle breach
#

or you can just ride fighters

One effect the speed nerf has had is that taking off on hamada is a little wonky now

Not that it doesn't work, it just feels weird and jerky

stoic sparrow

Quick repair should have time to activate

mystic wolf

wtf is 'Bombastic Fantastic'?

Dude 100 hp tank should not be killed with one fucking hit

they don't

They did

Also, it's still too easy to jump into the back gunner seat and shoot down people who are chasing you

#

Mosquito took me out with one fucking bomb

idle breach
#

they usually don't

#

yeah try that on mosquito

limber anchor
#

@solid hinge tbf that’s theironly defense lol

mystic wolf
#

pretty easy to avoid if you just dive a bit

idle breach
#

500kg x 2 can destroy full health hp but you gotta be precise

#

4000lb or 1000kg, not like just toss anyway and everything goes boom

solid hinge
#

It just feels kinda silly that a single person can man all the guns on a plane and not crash

#

2x 250kg can destroy a heavy tank

#

But a 1 ton cant

idle breach
#

yeah the 'bigbombs' are good for blast range

cyan sail
#

Can we got 4000lb Grenades for Assault to carry?

#

That would be handy

idle breach
#

and assume one is not just good with plane

#

piloting is not actually rewarding much

stoic sparrow
#

We need a b29 flying fortress with an atomic bonb

#

Thats what we need

cyan sail
#

and kill the whole server

lavish beacon
#

@idle breach except when the asshole on the enemy team that u physically cannot kill is 30-1

idle breach
#

if you can casually bomb the fuck out of enemy tank, AA, infantry and not getting killed by other plane

#

you can do more shit on infantry

lavish beacon
#

And ten of those kills are me

cyan sail
#

If a plane is flying directly at an AA, the AA should win

idle breach
#

that's just ou being unlucky

#

you

#

@cyan sail that is what im saying but it doesn't

#

Planes win against fucking everything and it's bullshit

do you even fly???
