Well the way it shoots irl is that it fires the first 2 rounds at 1200 then goes down to what, 650 or something
I think BO2 one does that
It’s such a stupid gun. But that’s why I love it

Nah black ops 2 it's 900 rpm for the first two rounds and it's a fast auto.
I think 650.

900 then to 650

Funny. I mean hey I slapped him with the at sign so we’ll see what his Gaddafi response is if any .

Responses are usually a few hours/day later as well

More of a creature than a character it sounds like, wowza.
Thank you for the lore
If I was playing Dragon Ball Sparking Zero and tried hopping into Japanese game forums that I did not understand, just seems strange the question is if you can choose assassination attempts and not liking a couple of the options? And then not following up timely, but potentially in days?? I mean hey I’m not working in the current moment since the assets I own generate enough income, but I will give my honest: “wtf?”
Glad I was around to tell him to get over the ones he didn’t prefer since they aren’t as bad as Gaddafi, and honestly if he gives a take on our analysis of himself that would be 👌🏼

Did you say I can choose how to finish the enemy? but where do I choose? because as far as I know the game doesn't allow you to choose, for example, a standard way to finish and this is frustrating for a big game like 2042
vital quail
Yeah
void gorge
not all finishers are made equal either
You said that maybe dice/EA forgot, another thing that the developers must have forgotten to do differently is the effects on the map and I say this because not to mention the discouraging repetition of maps in the main mode, the other day, in the game chat, a player complained that generally on maps there is only the effect of the tornado destroying everything in its path, although I think the effect of the tornado is spectacular, especially when the effect of the tornado dragging and taking heavy things like containers to the sky is spectacular, but I also very much agree that it is boring because the only maps that have different effects are orbital, rubble and melt

The BF1/5 Pistols felt like warcrimes.
Especially in 1 because the map design and effective ranges emphasised close combat, meaning that pistols and melee became hugely important
And when it came to close range effectiveness, only Assaults had primaries that excelled at that distance

I don't know how to tell you because I don't understand it very well, but if "aek" is a weapon, then the logic would be to leave it in the game for people to take advantage of and also take advantage of the fact that you mentioned "ban", thankfully in main mode of the game that is not the portal, fortunately EA apparently removed the administration system that was in bf 4 and I say this because I have seen countless reports of people saying that sometimes they ended up being banned unnecessarily

starting the game for the first time puts you in an "i've never played battlefield before" style tutorial, otherwise just pick conquest or breakthrough from the main menu and play around
it's not significantly different from any other shooter and the games are drop in/drop out matchmaking so nobody's paying attention
there's also an option under the cq/bt categories to start a solo game vs bots, but the servers run at half speed in that mode and the game behaves a bit weird

lol. I actually think there's not enough armor on the conquest maps in this game.
there's too much emphasis on infantry combat. If there were more armor, I think they game would get a little more strategic.
Battlefield should try to be Battlefield instead of a COD-lite.

Bro there's enough armor
What there isn't enough is brain cells
Too many idiots
People actually using soflam like it's useful
Javelin sucks and 90% of the time it's a boris using it so it's even worse
Meanwhile the recon gets to feel like they are contributing but nobody cares about locking on because it's dogshit
One of many reasons why recons are worthless to a team
viral mica
Bro there's enough armor
every time I try to spawn a tank, it tells me it's all full. I look on the map, there's like one tank on our team for conquest. I'm simply saying, either there's a spawn timing issue with the armor, or something else, but the conquest mode in 2042 is very heavy on infantry. I don't play air, so I get it that there's other armor like the jets and choppers, but on the ground armor is scarce it seems to me.
I just remember the old BF games having much more armor on the maps, and the game wasn't just about infantry. Moreover, it's really exhausting to be running the majority of the time in conquest to get from spawn to some place of relevance. Old BF games had four wheelers and other vehicles constantly spawning so you could quickly get into the action.
anyway....just my late night thoughts.

oh I didn't even realized that, since I don't use vehicles too much. What were those "advanced detection systems"?
frozen loom
It can detect whether you're merely locked on or a missile is deployed.
So, the SOFLAM and lock-on missiles can no longer juke vehicles in deploying flares and smokes.
I don't use vehicles either, but I think it can tell if it's a SOFLAM too.
Though, only the pilot can see the difference, so they will deploy their anti-missile systems early because their passengers will bail if the lock-on sound goes on for too long and they don't want that to happen.

Do passengers even hear lock ons anymore tho. Wasn't that removed long ago?

The reason a team member is given a lead role, is that they are meant to be trusted to lead that team. Teams generally dont work well when a higher up is allowed to interfere/change things on a whym. Not that they wouldn't be allowed some freedom to suggest changes/improvements, especially if said higher up has actual game dev/Design experience like Vince would

I'm not even worried about flanks because most people just dont. Majority of last genners play worse than bots.
And I mean that genuinely.
Most of my deaths are from bots. Lmao
eager spire
People who don't attempt objectives need to be flagged as bots honestly lmao
yeah but then you have to answer questions like "what counts as attempting an objective, exactly?"
because killing players is technically helping with the objective.
The more players that are dead, the less players that are alive to say, defend an objective
How do you define that in a way that a game mechanic would recognize it accurately?
fresh lintel
Most players struggle to hit anything over 20 kills, so players who sit in weird corners or prone in the weirdest spots away from any fight or objective might as well not even be playing the game, as their impact is less than meaningless.
eager spire
Those players would not be helpful even if they were trying to actively cap/take objectives.
Labelling them as bots would not help anything.
fresh lintel
I am one of the players who does the whole "The enemy cant capture a point if theyre dead" thing. Because I do genuinely hit 30-60 kills per game (depends on the length of the game) with ease.

load times, larger maps, more players to render.
it would run worse.
probably the reason they scrapped 128 on last gen in the first place.
tbh, 128 wasn't a great idea anyway
fresh lintel
Don't even need the larger maps, most of the map on 64 is rarely used if ever.
Itd be more chaotic sure but thats the point. Even if the maps were bigger: People conglomerate to certain areas regardless

Peak gameplay was during the early days where droves of people would rush to the other bases on foot. Seeing hundreds of infantry and tanks coming at you.
Esamirs rework was also this but with construction, so you had constantly changing lines in this one area. Bases quickly being constructed to continue fighting.

they can't even keep the game functional, 2042's mouse input is busted.

As someone who got into Battlefield with 3, I genuinely think they need to bring back skill based gunplay.
It wasnt perfect in 3-4 but god damn needing to burst was so much more better than "Teehee M4 Shortbarrel go brrrt 80m"

why reboot BF2. Nobody is going to like BF2.
why wouldn't they like BF2?
fresh lintel
If anything its either 2142 Reboot or a Coldwar era game.
viral mica
is it the classes?
eager spire
Classes, movement, gunplay, basically everything. You have to understand you're talking about people who either started playing BF when BF3 came out, or people who started playing BF when BFV came out.
Neither group of people are gonna really care for BF2.
BF2 is a different kind of game and that's why BF is the way it is after BF3.
viral mica
eh, you could take BF2 and modernize it to today's gameplay mechanics.
eager spire
yeah but then it'd annoy the people that like BF2.
viral mica
BF 2 was more about the maps and modes to be honest. The classes and how you unlocked progression was good. Shooting was much more skillful.
Gulf of Oman was an amazing map
eager spire
"Shooting was much more skillful" What do you mean?
eager spire
Gulf of Oman was an amazing map
was always a /shrug map for me.
viral mica
"Shooting was much more skillful" What do you mean?
the ballistics system was more realistic and simulated. bullet drop, etc.
fresh lintel
I did play a bit of 2142 and yeah.
2142's gunplay, assuming its anything like BF2s: Is EXTREMELY archaic.
eager spire
the ballistics system was more realistic and simulated. bullet drop, etc.
bullet drop is a thing that's never left the series though. Granted, bullet velocities are not realistic at all, but that's mostly done for gameplay/balancing reasons.
fresh lintel
The gameplay itself is a little off. Still a great game but even I would rather be playing BF3-4 over 2142/BF2.
eager spire
also, i don't see how realistic ballistics constitutes more skillful gunplay
viral mica
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn9oQR5k8WE this will look dated, but I think DICE could re-boot this in modern times. It's more the whole concept of everything. The commander mode and having a dedicated commander on the team providing drops/artillery strikes, etc. for the squads. Only being able to spawn on your squad leader, otherwise spawn back at base or a flag. There were a lot of awesome concepts in Battlefield 2.
eager spire
BF4 had a commander mode. granted, it was done through a mobile app and the "commander" was never actually present in a match.

Tbh I dont like the commander option when its straight up a "UAV/Fuck this camper/Focus this good player with a minimap icon" sbility

iirc, wasn’t it much better in Hardline, like you had access to in game cameras?
Sorry last time I played Hardline was in 2020
eager spire
I don't think having a playable commander really adds that much, anyway. At best it's an annoyance, at worst it's literally worthless.
fresh lintel
Unless they give UAV to a player whos actually aware.
Then it turns into one girl with a AUG vs the entirety of China and winning.
eager spire
Unless they give UAV to a player whos actually aware.
yeah but then it's an annoyance.
fresh lintel
Yeah. Commander mode genuinely needs something other than UAV and "Hey fuck THAT particular guy"
eager spire
or it could just not be there. I think BF has been fine without it.

4 TDM games in a row with above 3 kd and even a 4kd game... all losses lmao
Game is a f-ing joke at balancing teams and the spawns are f-ing attrocious for a 3 year old game
eager spire
that's just how it is sometimes.
TDM
Spawns are atrocious
yeah welcome to TDM
why are you surprised
wet iris
Multi-million dollar game company can't fix a basic system on maps that are that massive
fresh lintel
Too be fair the TDM maps arent that big
eager spire
with all due respect, it's not as simple as you're thinking it is. Neither of the issues you mentioned are. if it were that simple, they wouldn't be there in the first place. TDM is an afterthought anyway, who cares.
wet iris
Idk but I'm pretty sure even brain dead developers can figure out a system that doesn't spawn people literally into gun fire when there's an entire half of the map BEHIND the team that's spawn trapping
eager spire
i donno why don't you figure it out then
wet iris
Cause I don't want a career based on sitting behind a computer forever honestly
wet iris
I said brain dead "developer" not anybody. And yeah, sitting in a room typing away on a computer for dozens of years in an industry that has some of the worst hours and horrific job protection standards is NOT something I'm going to do
eager spire
uh huh
wet iris
But I'd still expect competence from a company with a series as old and storied as Battlefield
eager spire
i feel like you don't understand anything. Like, you have no idea what you're on about, you're thinking things are way easier than they actually are.
because this isn't like, a problem exclusive to DICE, other games have had issues with spawns as well. Black Ops 6 had massive spawn issues during it's beta.
are you gonna call those devs braindead as well?
wise heath
Cause I don't want a career based on sitting behind a computer forever honestly
you’re fucking based
eager spire
like, i feel like if you're not even gonna make an attempt to understand what makes doing something like that difficult, then I don't think you get the right to call anyone braindead.
wet iris
Absolutely, Call of Duty spawns are almost always terrible, BUT their maps are absolutely puny compared to BF's.
eager spire
point still stands, these are studios with developers that have worked in the industry for a very long time.
wet iris
And my biggest problem is if Battlefield can sense when people are "in combat" then WHY would it spawn people into the exact space ont he map where upon spawing they are immediately "in combat"
eager spire
don't you think that if an actual solution to this problem were found and was actually viable, they would use it?
wet iris
Honestly, not really anymore since most of their development has probably moved on to the next Battlefield since this one is 3 years old
eager spire
okay but you're missing the point, just because you think it's simple to just spawn someone somewhere else when they're being spawntrapped, does not make actually doing that simple from a coding perspective, especially if you want a theoretical solution that actually works, because multiplayer game development is a massive pain in the ass.
It is certainly not something that someone who's "braindead" would be working at an industry doing.
wet iris
teams spawn on each end, then spawns switch when stalemate
Because COD is mostly symmetrical maps and lanes whereas BF is NOT designed like that on most maps
wise heath
that is true
wet iris
Also COD has terrible spawn traps most times
wise heath
If anything that makes it better
Less likely to get spawn trapped and spawn killed
issue would be finding spawns that don’t have immediate sight lines
I honestly don’t mind the spawn die spawn die of tdm
because instant respawn
rather instant respawn than wait 10 seconds

Fair, could have made that restriction just for Sundance instead of punishing all Assault specs.

You answered your question in the second line (You can't take out most vehicles now as Assault.), but are incorrect with that statement. You just cant EASILY take out vehicles from all angles as Assault now. Most vehicles (CAV Brawler aside) can still be destroyed with 2 C5 placed on the rear of the vehicle.
The reason they changed it was to extend the life of ground vehicles/armor. A life that was before, and still is now laughably low.
forest lion
Interesting. I wasn't aware that 2 C5 on the rear can take out most vehicles. Will have to put more focus on placement then. It's almost impossible to get up close to the Brawler anyway with the perimeter defence.
vocal tusk
Brawler is a strange vehicle. For me it has one of the more fun transport vehicles to play...but its also the most frustrating vehicle to fight. It has really annoying design and weapons
Its really dumb that you can take APS and close defense at the same time...then also outfit it with the hella broken flame nade launcher.
Pair all that with its passive defense against AT mines and C5 (Takes 1.5 extra of both to kill it)...and it makes it a VERY annoying vehicle to fight in my experience.
Like ill legit run at any piece of armor with C5 and kill it easily, but ill basically never engage a brawler when I can help it cos of how annoying they are to fight

Absolutely. I feel the same way about it. When squads stack up in a Brawler it's near impossible to take it on without a full squad focusing on it or have another heavy vehicle assisting.

With a driver that has even just a little brain activity and a gunner with a little bit more, it is better than other tanks too tbh
But that's a rare combo
The 25mm will wreck other armored vehicles
vocal tusk
Yeah, its very n00b friendly also, requiring little lead or drop at range adjustment, and it recharges very fast
vital quail
Well... 9/10 times i am driving, the gunner HAS to test out the main gun on the ground right before we drive up to a tank
